I've had my guitar tuned to CGDGCD for about 3 or 4 days now. Today I decided to put it back to standard. Then my high-E snapped, which boggles my mind more than breaking a string when tuning down. At least when I'm tuning down, it's usually down a whole bunch of steps. From D to E is only two! How? How could it bloody happen?!

Right now I'm making a list of all the string gauges for Ernie Ball strings. This way, when a string breaks, I can just look at the list and know the gauge I'll need for a replacement string, rather than rummaging through the trash, looking for the packet.
