Hai guys

The surprise being...there is no surprise! Are you happy now?

But! I have a story to tell.
Once upon a Monday, this being a very bad Monday as Mondays are inclined to be, the Watermelon did complain to the Bobfish. And the Bobfish did reply with a challenge, to ensure that the rest of the week did run smoothly, and the challenge was this:
"Go forth, Watermelon, and have an optimistic Tuesday. And to be sure of this, this shall be a competition, and the one who does have the most optimistic Tuesday shall have won the bet, and the other shall have to do a journal of confusion and amusement to others."
The Watermelon did see the sense in this, and did agree. And there was much rejoicing.
On the day of Tuesday, in the evening, the Watermelon did return to the home of the internet and did speak to the Bobfish of how the day had been. But, the Bobfish had not taken Kung Fu into account, and therefore the Watermelon won the bet, with a score of 4 compared to the Bobfish's 3.5. Therefore, the Watermelon won.

tl;dr - ~BoBFiSh66 and I made a bet over who could have the most optimistic day. He made the bet with an optimist...I won.

The result of the bet can be seen here --> [link] I think I'm the only person who understands the origin of the theory, but it's a laugh and I'm advertising ^^

Oh a serious note, it's also partly due to another conversation with bobfish that I needed to update. A friend of mine has recently just..vanished off the face of dA and other forms of communication. I don't know what's going on, as this has happened with different friends before, but it always upsets me when this happens. It was a conversation with bobfish, as I said, that made me realise that, despite how much I worry about people, I never let them know. So here goes.

I think that, over the time I've been on dA, I have worried about each and every one of the people I talk to regularly. I regard you all as friend, although I've been a bit hit and miss with replying to comments at the moment due to work (and a little laziness). But the point is, I hold each and every one of you as very good friends, and, as a result of that and my personality, I worry about all of you.
This worry is increased with real life friends, only a few of whom realise the extent to which I worry about them. In fact, there may only be one. I try and take care of people, to keep a balance in my day to day life, and, to be honest, this can be such hard work that there are days I don't want to do it any more. I've lost a lot of sleep worrying about people in real life and people that I know on the internet, just because of some of the things that they've said. Of course, being a bottler, this hasn't helped matters.
Basically, I figured that now was as good a time as any to let people know how much I worry and care about them. I know that this is an overly emotional journal, but I've lost touch with people that I care about recently as well, most recently being ~Achronai (I miss you, I really hope that you're doing okay over in Canada....take care) who was aware, I hope, of how much I worried.

Basically put...I love you guys. Don't go anywhere (and no, I haven't been drinking).
