Blue Wednesday

[misscam]

I got mugged yesterday and it's rather made Wednesday a day of suck. Sigh. In short, I am feeling miserable.

So - what do you do to cheer up on days that just can't seem to do even one right?

Attempts to cheer me up won't go amiss either.

You were robbed? Good gracious. But aside from the loss of money (or whatever they took,) are you unharmed?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Er, meant mugged. And cards and stuff like that is also gone and have to be replaced. Sigh.

[evilstorm.livejournal.com]

Ye gods. I hope you're okay.

Um, um, what'd cheer you up. Have you seen LOLpoliticians yet?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Not physically hurt or anything, it's just... well, blah.

No, I hadn't. Thanks for that! Much fun to check out, I see.

[preachelectric]

*hugs* What I do is get a tub of cookies 'n' cream icecream, sit down wrapped up in my doona and watch my favourite shows (right now, that would be Friends). Or I buy something I've been wanting a while and holding out from buying. I pretty much spoil myself to take my mind away from the bad.

Or else, you could try to build a dalek to get revenge?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I could drive my remote-controlled Dalek around and pretend to get revenge, maybe.

[crackpig.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear about that. Really sucks.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ye. Though could always be worse, it's just sucky right when it happens.

The hell? You mean your house was broken into and robbed, or that you were mugged? Either way, I'm so sorry and I'm glad it sounds like you're physically ok.

My day, while not comparable to yours, hasn't started off that well, either. So, I'm going to totally blow off work, read fic and watch TV, and not feel the damndest bit guilty about it.

Here's a thought to cheer you up, since I'm listening to public radio and they're discussing it right now - there are only 387 days until the next presidential election here in the States. While I'm already sick of the primary race, I've started plotting my election party for next fall. My husband and I have these cobalt blue shot glasses with the Great Seal of the United States printed on them in gold (picked them up at the Capitol building in DC, natch), and every state the Dems win, we take a shot.(This works well for congressional elections, too; every seat the Dems pick up we take a shot. We were toasted last fall!) I surely hope I'm stupid drunk by the time the California results come in.

I've never been so grateful in my life (and neither has the rest of the world, right?) for Constitutional presidential term limits.

Mugged. Belongings in my bag, except my mobile which I had managed to leave at home that day.

Yeah, you don't have the pain Australia has - John Howard just won't go. but eight years is still a long time to endure any President, it seems.

Alcohol improves any election, though.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Am having one today, it seems. shall we let our miseries accompany each other?

In answer:

- Eat chocolate, or similarly unhealthy but tasty food (today, Nachos, but gonna have some chocolate next)
- Cry and sniffle and generally be miserable
- listen to audiobook of Terry Pratchett (maiden voyage of that one. Wasn't too bad)
- Have a nap


*clings to you* Thank god you're ok. Home robbery was it? Or a mugging? You need some better luck, my friend. :(

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Misery twins?

Who read the auidobook? Man himself or? Discworld books in general tend to help gloomy feelings, I find.

Oh, mugging. I suck at English today too. Belongings in my bag, basically. It wasn't much money actually - had like maybe 10 AUD in there - but I'm really worried my card is being abused. Also I lost various other things that are a pain to replace. And today has just been... Blergh.

Sighness.

[fried-flamingo.livejournal.com]

Fucking hell! That's bad! Are you ok?

*points to Snogging!Doc icon* Does that cheer you up a little bit?

*hugs*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm okay, it's just a bit of... Well, blow to one's sense of security and so on, I guess. And also it's a bloody pain to replace some of the stuff I lost.

Snogging is always good.

[longtimegone]

Are you physically okay, bebe? :( I'm so sorry!

I just woke up, so I don't have anything but bleary eyed hugs to share. *facepalm*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wasn't hurt in any way.

Mmm, I wish I was in bed. Today would have been much better in bed.

[aervir.livejournal.com]

I'm very sorry to hear that something as shitty as that happened to you. Are you all right?

On days from hell, I usually wrap myself in a comfy blanket, sit down with a cup of hot chocolate, with a big helping of whipped cream on top, and watch at least some bits of Pride and Prejudice. There ain't nothing that Colin Firth can't cure.

*hugs you tightly*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Didn't get injured or anything. Feeling a bit down about it, though.

Some hot manflesh is never wrong, though. Mmm. Colin Firth.

[teenwitch77.livejournal.com]

Oh no, that's awful. I'm sorry to hear about that :(

Cheerful things. Um, John Howard will be gone very very soon? Yes, I have complete faith in this fact. Surely the Australian public have some common sense. As for what to do on those crappy days - snuggling down in front of the TV with junk food and watching mindless television sometimes can help?

I found this picture ages ago, and it's probably not a good thing but every time I look at it I can't help but burst into laughter.




I know, I know. I'm so juvenile it hurts =P

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I have thought that about the last three Australian elections. Haven't really had luck so far, but hope springs eternal, apparently.

There is a sort of sad comfort to know someone's always having a heck of a lot worse day than yourself.

[skywardprodigal.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I go have some excellent chocolate. Or, I go for a long walk someplace pretty. Or, I call up someone who makes me smile and grin.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'd buy chocolate, but my money is gone and so are my bankcards. Wah.

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

Are you ok??? You poor thing!!

How about Ten all sparkly like?

Take it easy today, k?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm torn somewhere between bitchy and feeling sorry for myself. Both are a bit counterproductive, really.

Too much to do to take it easy, sadly. Blah.

[kibebe.livejournal.com]

That totally and completely sucks, but at least you're OK. Sends good thoughts.

Puppies are the answer to all of life's problems.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I am more of a cat person, but puppies aren't half bad.

And thanks.

[ashestothestars.livejournal.com]

Holy sweet pointy blue fuck.

*Hugs tight*

Screw healthy foods - chocolate, tea and whatever is your favourite comfort foods otherwise. I'd post the "Invisible Trousers" macro, but that isn't work safe, and that's where I am. Mayhap later when I get home.

*sets out WoW hunter traps around you*

Now lets see them get to ya.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hunters FTW.

Feeling a bit better today, but it still is a bloody nuisance to get replaced everything lost.

[jvgymnast.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's terrible. You're safe, though, and that's important. This tends to cheer me up when I need a smile.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Care Bears!

But I always loved Gummi Bears more.

And thanks.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

That sucks hard, dude. :(

If you like pretty instrumental piano music I can upload a song for you?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It's nice to listen to before bed, I always find. :)

[spaced-oddity.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry that you had to go through that. Are you relatively okay, at least? ♥

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, not hurt in any way, just... Inconvenienced. Such a hassle to replace all cards and what-not. Also bit blah experience.

But not the worst thing that can happen after all, so yeah.

[falena]

Nooo! You're okay right?

I'd totally make you chips. And, um, find a bunch of kitties for you to pet and purr at?

And hug you lots.

*clings*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, wasn't hurt at all. It's just such a bother and blah :(

But chips and kitties and hugs sounds good.

*is clung*

[denorios.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Are you alright? You weren't hurt, were you?

*hugs*

I hope you're okay. That really sucks. I'm so sorry.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

No no. Nothing like that. It was just blah for all the things the bastard took and the experience of it. But oh well, shit happens, eh?

[canadian-kazz.livejournal.com]

*hugs you* Poor Cam. :(

I don't know what all I can do in the cheering up department...

You like choirs singing Rubber Duckie? Cos here's mine:

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh, most unusual offer of cheering up I've had, but it did work in a strange way :)

[cedara]

Chocolate, tea and some good movies or tv episodes.

*hugs*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ended up with football and pizza, but same principle :)

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry, and glad you weren't seriously hurt. Cheering up--usually go home, cry, punch a pillow, eat something sweet and watch something comforting and unchallenging from the DVD pile.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I like slaughtering computer enemies in Diablo II. Seems to work for frustration for some reason.

Today it feels more like a bloody annoyance more than anything else. Two hours on the phone to replace stuff lost an so on. Blah.

But oh well. Shit a-happens.

[nirix5.livejournal.com]

*hugs* That really, really sucks- I'm sorry that happened to you.

My suggestions for feeling better:

- hot chocolate
- throw a quilt in the dryer for fifteen minutes, then snuggle up in it on the couch
- watch a funny movie or youtube random stuff on your computer. From youtube, these always get my mood up:

Ballerina
Star Wars figure skating
Big dancing, small town
If You Were Gay

...the last one featuring Nick and Warrick. It's hysterical.

I hope you feel better :)

[nirix5.livejournal.com]

Actually, go here for the Nick/Warrick one. The one I posted in the other comment is some kind of funky remix. Oops :)

[maureenlycaon.livejournal.com]

Oh, hell! I am sorry as hell to hear that. *snugs* I'm glad you're physically safe -- get that card canceled, STAT.

I wrote some cheerful and relatively vanilla furry porn, would that help to cheer you up?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh, it has been. No theft from my account - so basically what the bastard got was 50NOK (less than 10 dollars). Fun times.

Er, furry porn not really my thing, I'm afraid. But thanks for the offer.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

A MUGGING?!

If the police manage to find the wanker, give me his name and address... I'll make a point of exacting revenge on your behalf when I finally manage to visit.

As for what I do to cheer up... chocolate and friends. Caffeine and a good movie seems to help too.

If only I wasn't so lacking in finances right now... I'd reimburse you what you lost...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Chances of catching theguy is exceedingly low, I'd say. Especially as it's not the most serious crime out there.

But oh well, karma might do the job, who knows...

And jeez, don't worry about that. I lost less than ten dollars. I'll have to pay for some replacement things, but it's not a huge deal. (It will cost me less than an hour's worth of salary, so I'm not too fuzzed about that.)It's the effort and annoyance and all that I'm feeling blah over. So don't worry and think about that part, really, though the thought is sweet.
