    Dr. told me it ain't that bad and certainly not as bad i thought i could have been. Years of anxiety over something relatively trivial finally sorted out, feels good.

    I did the same thing a couple years ago. So glad I went to the doc and found out it was an easy fix and not terminal.

    So, the girl that I was friends with a while back called me today. Apparently she had a mental breakdown and ended up in the hospital. She's now on medication and sounds so much happier than the last time I talked to her. She apologized, and even invited me out for a walk tomorrow. I have to admit, I'm nervous as hell. I haven't seen her in person in a long time, let alone anyone. I'm so glad and thankful she's okay.

    NIN is back, @Xvostya is back, @swindley is back and the nin.com message board has gone stealth.

    Life is pretty great right now.

    New NIN. The Bruins one game away from another trip to the Cup. An ice-cold Sam Adams. And its almost Friday.

    I guess being back on ETS is alright, too.

    My car brakes started making a scraping sound, so I had to stay home an extra day (which is great). The guy we took my car to has a reputation for being really honest and not giving people BS about "Oh, by the way, have you checked yer yada yada?" Any time we've gone to him for something, it's an easy fix, and he never charges a whole lot, either. Way less than anyone else in town.

    Also, I got curious while I was watching It's Always Sunny about who plays the McPoyle sister. Extremely pleased to find Thesy Surface! Mmmm.



    Edit: We found the issue with my car! The guy took off my front left rotor and tried to grind it down, and he says he's never seen a single rotor on one side of the car literally crumble to pieces like that. My others were in perfectly normal condition, but this one was probably a faulty replacement for the original. So he replaced it. On the way home, though, we noticed it was making even MORE noise. We took it back, the guy looked at it, and noticed that the splash guard was moved over juuust enough to where it was rubbing up and making noise (because my dad had kicked my tire a little bit to get it loosened when he was rotating them yesterday), so he just put it back in place, no charge.

    But he probably saved my life, because if the splash guard hadn't been moved, we wouldn't have realized how bad my rotor was, and there's a very good chance that if I hit the brakes to hard, it would have literally fallen apart and sent me careening at 70 mph. I'm just super lucky I have parents willing to get my back financially. It cost my dad about $250, so now I gotta step it up and repay them for the favor. Everything worked out, though, so now I get to go back to Lawrence. And blast "Came Back Haunted" on the stereo in the process. Awwwww yeah.

    My friend's back in the hospital. This isn't necessarily something to be happy about considering she shouldn't have to go through all this mental craziness that she's put through, but I'm glad she's at least okay and getting help. Maybe tonight I can sleep.

    I've just realised that all of my anal organisational stuff might be down to this forum. Since 2003 it was "don't overquote this" or "follow this format" or "tab browsing is the easiest way to read".

    I'm not sure if this cheers me up, but at least if someone accuses me of being OCD I know who to blame. This may have been some academic form of child grooming.

    Coming home from a long day at work to find a really sweet message from my closest friend telling me how much she appreciates me. She is the best.

    Huge, deliciously rich oreo brownies.

    My physical body is 5'11 and 160 pounds, but my spirit is probably 5'2 and weighs 300 pounds.

    Heading to Brooklyn on Friday for the weekend. No teaching aerobics for almost 4 days. There will be vegan treats. And math. And flowers. And warmth.

    Got my tongue pierced and I have a three-day weekend! Plus I finished at 14:15 today and I'm not working 'til 14:15 on Tuesday so that's pretty much 96 hours with no work, no responsibilities and no obligation to do anything but park my ass in bed and play the 360. Boy, have I earned this time off.

    Life is pretty okay!

    Last time i did that i ran out of gas and ended up walking like 9 miles in the midday sun. Some draws would have been nice, but yes it can be good.

    Been seeing a head shrinker for a couple months now and while not the funnest thing i have ever done it's helped put some shit into perspective and had given me a different perspective my jaded world view. It's kinda nice. Also we made pulled pork and citrus salsa with cabbage tacos for lunch at work today. Shit was way tasty.

    Weird coincidences.

    I was talking to my dad a little while ago and he mentioned that he had bought a bag of mini chocolate bars and asked if I wanted the dark chocolate ones (because he doesn't like dark chocolate and I do because it is AMAZING). And then, a little later on in the conversation, he mentions that this Dudley Moore/Kirk Cameron movie is on TV.

    Now, I get off the phone with him and for whatever reason started watching this old Louis C.K. interview on Conan. I've seen it, but it's been a long time and I don't remember much about it. A few minutes in Louis mentions dark chocolate. Ok, weird, I think. I was just talking to my dad about that. A couple minutes later he says something to the effect of, "This is like that movie with Dudley Moore and Kirk Cameron when they switch bodies." Ok, THAT was weird. One thing? Sure. Both? In one video? About ten minutes after I got off the phone? Freaking weird.

    Now, I'm not saying this means anything or is anything more than just a funny coincidence, but I found it really amusing (and odd).

    For me, it's an almost clean apartment. It's getting there.
