How was everyponie's day?

Oh. My. Celestia.

$2500!! And it's still got a day to go!

 

Average so far, maybe work will suck like everyday. That will be fun.

Dwynter, I saw you put up chapter 3, when I find time I'm gonna read. Like tomorrow morning I HOPE.

 

Perfect.

Today, Cardiff City commemorated my stepdad in the nicest ways possible. For a start they allowed me, my family, and a few close friends into the directors box to watch the game. We were treated like royalty. We were waited on, we met some real celebrities, and the owner of Cardiff City, Chan Tien Ghee, personally consoled us. The club really bent over backwards to honour Mikey. They mentioned how they would build a memorial garden in his honour, which is where should any other Cardiff City fans pass, forbid that happens, they will also be commemorated there.

The game was nice. We won 2-0 for a start, so that was a good. However, the round of applause at the beginning was sensational. They were applauding even before the announcer had got to his name. Everyone there knew him, he was a local celebrity. I'm so proud to have been his stepson. But anyway, both teams wore black armbands, and his face was shown on the big screen before and after the game. His name was chanted all game long, and it was just brilliant. I cried, I'll admit. We all did.

Even Swansea, who are bitter rivals with Cardiff (you may want to do a bit of research to understand football rivalry, it's a case of life or death to some), had a minutes silence in their game with Arsenal, and even had black armbands themselves. I can't believe Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Swansea, sent us a hand written and thoughtful card, even though his father had passed away recently. It just goes to show how popular Mike was.

As for the game, it was good. It was rather fitting that Anthony Gerrard (cousin of Steven Gerrard) scored first for us. He's from Liverpool, and the entire city has never forgiven the Sun for printing the controversial lies back in 1989 about the Hillsborough disaster. In fact, I believe the Sun isn't even sold there anymore, due to a boycott that caused sales to drop over 75%. Anyway, the fact that the Sun also slandered my stepdad, accusing him of being a hooligan, means a lot of Liverpudlians have shown their support. So, you know, the fact a scouser sscoreed means a lot. In fact, he even took his armband off and held it in the sky for a celebration. What a guy.



I've also made some progress. I'm still sad, and I still can't accept he's gone, but I'm starting to be more positive. I honestly couldn't have done it without help from a certain few on here and in real life. I've decided I'm going to go down to his memorial every sinlge day, and just talk to him. I'm an atheist/agnostic, but it makes me feel connected to him, and hey, you never know, right?



The card I put on his memorial.



So yeah, that was my day. Also, I threw a banana at a wall.

 

Very nice.

And, you know, you don't have to believe in an afterlife and souls to not understand people are a part of you - forever! He'll always be a presence in your life, just like Richard will always be in mine.

And - a banana?

 

Wow, that sounded beautiful Lup. If I ever visit Cardiff (which is on my list now)...I'll make sure to stop by..

Great, now I'm remembering a good friend of mine that was also murdered a few years back...best not to think of it too much...

 

My friend bought a bag of bananas for 5p, so we just went crazy.

And yeah, I get you. Because of how close he was to me, it's fair to say this isn't just the passing of a distant relative, this is a life changing experience. I don't want it to be, I want the old life back, but I have to deal with it. Because of that, I've done a lot of thinking, reevaluating things and adjusting my perspectives. I used to believe death was it, no more, end of, /thread. However, I asked myself earlier,

If we remember someone, and continue what they stood for, aren't we essentially keeping them alive?​

Of course they are dead and we'll never talk to them again, but what made them who they were is essentially those things. So, by talking to him everyday, I feel like I'm keeping him with me (as cheesy as that sounds). Everything I do, I'll dedicate to him. Whenever I achieve something, whenever I overcome something, whenever I do something that would have made him proud of me, I just want to go 'look Mike, look what I did'. Just helps me keep going I guess.


I'll have to share the pictures of the memorial at one point, it is amazing. So many flowers and cards and flags and what not.

 

Mine was actually pretty dull and depressing.
Spent almost entire day trying to study for upcoming exam. Somehow it doesn't work well and I have some bad feelings about the exam.
So I was rather nervous and frustrated and then there was that memorial program in TV about the events from 9/11, which completely made me sorrowful and contemplative.
Basically not a funny day, but I must admit that visiting you cheered me up a little.

 

Yay!

Well, it's 14 minutes to the end of my day, and I believe it's been my average sorta day: Lazing around, watching youtube and chatting to EPR-ians.

 

Bored. Going to classes tomorrow woohoo.

:derpe:

 

Great I slept all day long, so it's been fine so far.

 

Today I got up at 5 AM, walked around for two hours waiting for everyone else to wake up, then I fell asleep reading Kafka. I woke up AGAIN at 10 AM and practiced Lohengrin for about half an hour before cleaning the kitchen and doing my Spanish homework, and went to mass. Then I changed a light bulb and piddled around for a while.

FUN PART OF MY DAY

I Yugioh'd with my younger brother. He is an INSANE duelist and has a custom Harpies deck. He beat me 12 times straight before I got lucky once, HOWEVER before the thirteenth match, I bet that I would buy a pizza for the two of us (My parents and sister went off to party it up with my older sister at her dorm) IF I won this one duel......I actually won without him rigging the match. So I went up to Pizza Hut and got a pizza and Mountain Dew and we partied it up and played Team Fortress 2. We fought like warrior poets! Then we watched X-men 3 and decided to go interneting. Eeyup. And now I'm here!


For TL;DR people! This probably will bore you!.....and probably most other people as well.....

 

My day was exceptionally good.
I chilled at a friends house for a bit, purchased 12 new ponies (they came in a set) and then browsed ponies for the rest of the day.

 

Oh well, nothing too much interesting.

I went to the church with my Derpy T-shirt, then to a restaurant.
Then I played some Grand Chase (Mission mode, because I don't like the PVP there.
Then I printed the transfer and made my Custom Octavia T-shirt '-'

 

Amazing day! My gf came over for a "study date". We just played ping-pong and darts. We hung out. Later, I played computer, now im here, the end.

 

My day was tiring. I had to take EVERYTHING out of my garage, clean my garage, and put everything back in before it rained. I got to hang out with SilvaHound again which is always fun. Watched some football and stuff. Then I saw something..........disturbing. Like, really weird. REALLY really weird. I almost wanted to throw up. Other than that, my whole body is sore. It was a meh day.

 

You REALLY don't wanna know. Like, reaaaallllyyy don't.

 

Tired, dull, avoiding the homework, and hoping it isn't due tommorow.
Went to mass, went back, and played some Brawl with my youngest brother.
Then he watched some MLP, and I forumed here.
Afterwards we dropped him off with my mom... (we have to)
and picked up my siblings.
And, when we got back I fell asleep immediatedly, for probably around 2 hours.
School tommorow, finally going on the bus instead of being driven.
Also, learned after my parent's divorce we might move to Edmonton
