It Came From Outer Space

Apr 12, 2008 11:52

So, I'm back from outer space! Get that sad look off of your face!

Gah... too much has happened. I have chronic fatigue syndrome (officially) and some seriously annoying adrenal gland issues. I'm working through them. They've involved a few unfortunate meltdowns in front of my teachers and some rather unlovely mornings. But, yes, I am surviving. I am somehow surviving. Aren't we all?

As you can see, I am pretty chipper this morning. I finally got out of the house and did something last night, which is a spectacular sort of achievement for me even when healthy and unfettered by an indescribably strong want of bed. I went to a party at Patrick's house with Ms. Killoren, xeriksangelx; we jammed to Tokio Hotel on the way before she broke out into hysterics over a few hills and Patrick's excuse of a driveway.

Good times, that party. I have rediscovered just how much stranger my friends can become outside of school and under the influence of Pepsi.

Today, I am going to be spending a lot of time at Panera in order to do homework. Afterward, I am going to go with Sierra (and possibly Malek and mom) to a dance show.

Life has been a roller coaster. It is an understatement to say that I have been down at times. But, overall, a lot of things in my life have come together... things that I didn't think could come together. I am going to the meetings of and studying my religion, for instance. I am needing to buy new clothes because I have lost weight (and not in a sickly sort of way, believe it or not). I am making peace with my dad. And, I am working my butt off in school; I am not getting discouraged. I go in a hour early and stay a hour late most everyday... despite feeling like my heart is literally going to stop beating. It's funny how happiness works.

Also, I have a few dances that are coming up! You all know how I love to dance. Prom is on the twenty-sixth (I am going with Brenden as of last night) and Lloyd's graduation party is the first week of May. I bought dresses. They're fairly fantastic. I will post pictures.

A lot more complex mental events were missed during the hiatus, but I am sure that there will be many more revelations to come. I am glad to be back. Update me on the stuff that I missed, will you?

Toodles, M.
