I realise that when I write I seem to portray myself to be far more negative and/or depressed than I truly am. (I guess that’s what makes me a writer.) I never meant to worry anyone, trust me, I am just fine. I have not been sulking, I have not been crying, I have simply

It always amuses me the type of characters who show up at IHOP in the early morning hours. I went there with Caribsa after Universal Knights yesterday and got so many laughs that I swore today was going to be a good day. I was wrong. I woke up at 8 41 for class at

I spent today trying to get my mind off what has made me lose 3 pounds in two days. I am down to 108. When was the last time I weighed that little? I have no idea. Don’t get me wrong, my aim is 105. But I had no intentions of losing the weight like

In contrast to my previous blog, and just to show how much of a roller coaster life is, last night going into this morning was probably the worst night I have had in years. I cannot even begin to explain how I feel, nor do I even want to. But here is something that I
