It feels like it's been a while since I last posted.
Stuff has been happening lately. Mostly bad. It's too personal to get into detail.
To everyone who commented on that "first it was a letter to Sierra then a post on imdb and now an LJ entry" thing, thanks so much. I didn't know how to reply to your kindness and supportiveness, so I took the wimp's way out and didn't reply at all. I appreciate it, though. A lot. You guys have no idea.
Yesterday and today were dedicated to the CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam) at school. Yesterday was the English portion. Today the math. Both were easy. For the essay yesterday, I made a bunch of stuff up. Thank God those people know nothing of my life. Today I realized that I've forgotten a lot of basic stuff that I've never had to use. It all turned out pretty well, though, I think.
Thanks to an outburst I had last Saturday, I am living without a phone, an iPod, a hair dryer (which hurts, even if I never use it), a watch, my favorite pen, one of my books that I was carrying that day, and my iTone. I have to do my own laundry. Up until recently, I was also living without a computer and cooking my own food. Things are looking up slightly, though.
But I still feel so isolated.
So as a result of my semi-absolute isolation, I've been reading a lot. Recommendations:
The Book Thief by Mark Zusak. One of the best books I've read in a while. I truly loved it The story was different and even more than I expected. The language was interesting and the story incredibly touching.
Jerk, California by Jonathan Friesen was pretty good as well. The guy has a great sense of humor.
The Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce. I love the worlds Tamora Pierce creates. And her characters are usually strong females. But they're so very real. (I could go on for a while.)
My newest musical obsession: The Killers. Thanks, Heather.
