Was it worth it?
I have to ask Erin if the purpose of that intervention was to break us up. I don't think so, and it just made me sad that it had to be such an elaborate plan - all it did was make me cry, make me realize who I truly lean on more than anything, and realize exactly how in love with him i am. i have something she wants, that she'll do lots of things to get, and im not giving him up. I love Eric Benson.

Now I'm off to swat.

Why The Bleeding Jesus Best Belongs to Me...
I have a certain theory as I move through life. I go into almost every situation with my heart on my sleeve. I didnt used to be like that at all. Before, I went into every situation with no chance of emotional involvement or emotional pain. Not so much anymore. And so, I've gotten the full-range of emotions all the time. That's bad :) but worth it I guess.

I wrote my mom a letter last night. It was six-pages long.

You know you have a problem when you identify with Austin Tice's profile.

Anyways, I'm going to go back to doing not much. :) I'll be back on my website more often :)

So now two of my exes are getting married next year.

It was funny, when I saw that Nathan was getting married, i thought he was the first. Then I was like "duh." Sorry, when friends of mine are on the opposite coast i don't connect them so quick sometimes.

I'm going to have more to say, i promise-but y'all have been pretty happy blogging without me on my blog :)

Ok, now this is getting ridiculous

Sadaam Hussein offers UNCONDITIONAL RETURN of weapons inspecters, and the Bush administration will STILL want to blow them up.

Mind you, we blow up a chemical or nuclear "hidden" weapon, its as good as detonating it. Sigh.

Well, I had deactivated my page for several important reasons. Very important, and part of that purpose was so I wouldn't talk about them on this page. That's fine, but Storey's rant about bipolar disorder. Also, cause he has the time to post that rant :) But that's alright.

So, about bipolar disorder. Now, I know I don't have it. Or so says the psychiatrist who I've seen for 30 minutes in my life. The psychologist who I saw more often thought I had it, but thats just her. But I'll include all mental health problems because I think Storey is against medicating against all of those issues. I'm not going to tell you that some of the great minds of the arts world were not mentally disturbed. That would be a losing proposition. However, I will tell you that people (especially children) who live with depression or a mental disorder sometimes don't even live to be creative. Who also have terrible experiences throughout childhood. Also, all children do need to learn self-control, that is true. but when there is a chemical imbalance that makes you different from all of the other children who also need to learn self-control, that makes it more difficult for you to learn self-control and practice self-control. More so, the reason is not even because adults try to group them together, but instead because trying to relate to other people, who constantly seem happy, who don't have the world's worst mood swings is a very difficult chore. As a response, some people turn to other substances (alcohol, drugs) to try to self-medicate. That's why a lot of people who have terrible things happen to them being bipolar DO have them happen after drug and alcohol abuse. It also doesn't take drugs or alcohol for bad things to happen to people. Someone in a manic period has their life racing so quickly that they dont just make snap decisions, they're often unable to actually reason out decisions that they make. These drugs do help them do that. PEOPLE CHOOSE (at an adult level, I acknowledge that children don't decide, can't, and parents don't often make the decision in the best interest ofthe child) to take these drugs. They acknowledge that their lives will be more like they want their lives to be. Also, where there is shoddy diagnosis and overmedication of problems like ADD, a lot of these medications and diagnoses DO diagnose the correct people and help kids and adults live their lives.

This is no longer applicable to the person who knew it was applicable to them. However, it is good advice.
Oh, one thing? Don't promise things to a crazy person. They'll do things like expect you to follow through on them. And so life becomes a series of disappointments. That's my last crazy statement, I promise.
