Old News (The Unbearable Lightness Of Blogging)

Sadly, it appears things have taken a sudden and unexpected turn for the worse (hence the title of this post). And by "things", I mean things between my mother and I. It all began when she dragged me to the zoo on Saturday. This despite my fervid objections, because it was quite cold out (and keep... Sign in to see full entry.

Soooo, I've finally received medical clearance to resume blogging. (Although at a much less "strenuous" pace.) Therefore, I shall return later tonight with the first in a series of rather disturbing posts... each more disturbing than the last. Sign in to see full entry.

A great many things have changed in my life over the past month. And yet, curiously enough, a few things remain very much the same.......... Oh, I don't really have a point. I just thought it was kinda ironic, that's all. Sign in to see full entry.

Soooo, I just got back from the doctor's office... which is where I'd been since early this morning. It all began yesterday, actually, when I was doing homework, and suddenly woke up, feeling violently ill. Apparently, I must have eaten some bad clams at lunch. You see, I went with Noelle, Manon,...

Soooo, I'm back home for the weekend. And, not a moment too soon! I just can't get comfortable at my aunt's house. It's like staying in the Ritz-Carlton, or something. I'm not used to using silverware, and eating off of actual plates. At any rate, I rode the midnight train back to Philadelphia. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Soooo, in school today, Manon and I are discussing what we would do if a crazed gunman ever came running into the cafeteria, and opened fire. You know, whether we should attempt to escape (though I really can't run in these shoes), or simply lay down on the ground, and pretend to be dead. Now, Manon... Sign in to see full entry.

I bet the hardest thing to convince a mental patient, is that he isn't just "crazy like a fox ". My therapist loved that joke! (She actually laughed so hard, she snorted.) Although, she did say she is a little concerned that I am constantly "doing material", rather than "being honest and open".... Sign in to see full entry.
