Luna’s List of Things That Suck

• When you can’t tell if someone hates you or loves you, wants to be friends or wants nothing to do with you.
• When the cat’s meals are served up in the kitchen.
• When your alarm goes off at 3am when you set for 9:30.
• When your favourite actor commits suicide.
• When your sister spills water all over your wallet.
• When the editing program on your computer won’t burn your home made film to DVD.
• Lupin dying.
• Furbys (I mean... they belong to the ‘things that are wonderful and I would never accuse them of world domination schemers’ list)
• When it’s too hot to go outside but the air-conditioning is too cold inside.
• When my Harry Potter poster falls on my head in the middle of the night (it’s only happened once, but once is enough... believe me)
• When all the posters in my room fall down on the same day, because the blutac can’t stand the heat.
• When Heroes is moved to a later time because no one really watches it.
• When, by merely existing, you upset someone.
• When there are two sides, and you’re the only one on the ‘other’ or the ‘wrong’ side.
• When you bother to read someone’s “Things That Suck” list, hoping it will be entertaining, and it just turns out depressing and boring.
• When you feel like eating but you know you’re not hungry.
• When chopping off your own arm feels like the only way to stop you from feeling restless.
• When you can’t tell whether someone’s laughing with you or at you.
• When people don’t take you seriously when you need them to.
• When people take you seriously when you’re just messing around.
• When you make someone upset when you tried to make them feel better.
• When it rains at the wrong time.
• When it doesn’t rain for weeks.
• When the grass goes from green to yellow over night.
• When you miss the train and are 20 minutes late to meet a friend, so that friend goes home.
• When the world stops spinning (hasn’t happened yet, but I’m sure it will suck when it does happen.)
• Getting injections.
• When you get an injection to prevent chicken pox and then the next morning you wake up with red itchy spots all over you.
• When your mice eat each other (or it might make more sense to say: when one of your mice eats the other and then dies of food poisoning.)

• When no one believes that you couldn’t sleep all night.
• When you can’t wake out of a bad dream.

• When your toes are so cold they feel like they might fall off.
• When no one believes how cold your feet are.
• When you lose your Neville dolls wand.
• When people kill innocent animals.

• When you’re not sick enough to stay home but you’re too sick to go to school.
• When they stop baking chocolate scones at Bakers Delight.
• When you burn your toast.
• When your sunglasses get left in a bag with a leaky sunscreen bottle.
• When you get blamed for someone else’s wrong doing.
• When no one listens to you.
• When people don’t understand you.
• When you leave your umbrella in your locker and get caught in the rain going home (this
• Wouldn’t be a bad thing if the rain didn’t soak through your bag and soak all your school books.)

• When nothing exiting happens.
• When your sister leaves globs of toothpaste in the sink.
• When you spend ages doing something and it doesn’t pay off.
• When your maths teacher hates you because she thinks you purposely came to class late, when you honestly had transport issues.
• When you get told off at school because your socks are “too short.”
• When your favourite film is so unknown that you can’t hang a poster of it on your wall (because they don’t make the poster, not because I’m afraid of being different.)
• When your cat kills a helpless baby bird.
• When someone means the exact opposite of what they said.
• When your eyes are closed in the school photo (it’s happened to me several times...)
• When you travel all the way to England and stop by Leeds just because Matthew Lewis lives their... and it turns out that when you where in his home town he was in Melbourne.
• When you go to Paris for a week and plan to catch the train to all the major tourist places, but that’s the week they decide to have a train strike.
• When you realise that your suck list could go on forever.

Yeah, I was in a bad mood.... maybe one day I'll write a more positive list...
