Hey everyone I know I haven't been around for a long time, my depression has quite bad, and I've been looking after my dad after his knee surgery. I have also been trying to defeat epic battles with flus and colds, not sleeping properly and Christmas.

Otherwise normal life is normal. Thinking about stuff way too much, death, and whether it would be best to go now because the financial problems of the country are never going to get better.

The new year doesn't seem too shiny and new to me.
 
Happy New Years, everyone!
I sometimes have had this silly wish that the world would magically change into a utopia on the first day of a new year, but of course, the same old crap always happened all over the world. But lets hope that 2015 is at least a better year for all of us, even if the world doesn't suddenly become Heaven on Earth.

Happy New Years to you guys as well. In fact, Happy New Year to all. This is the start of the first day of 2015. I at least enjoyed drinking some cider when the New Year started after throwing coins in the air as part of yelling "Happy New Year".
 
Woke up at a party with my coat, scarf and gloves gone. In Chicago. It's 17 degrees outside today.

Happy birthday to me I guess
 
First day of 2015 and I'm on my way down to Virginia Beach to visit the grandparents at the assisted living home. It's usually not the happiest occasion but I'm trying to enjoy the trip nonetheless.

I'm at a rest stop in Albemarle county lol
 
The first day of the new year went well. I'm getting new hours at the pizza place I work at. It work outs since I really want to save up money this year.
 
Watched the RedLetterMedia holiday Live Stream today.

 
Saw The Woman in Black 2. Pretty disappointed, but it wasn't horrible. You'd think they would have learned to cut back on the jump scares. Seriously, if people thought the first movie was bad because of these, then they're gonna hate this one.

My theater consisted almost entirely of teenagers. They were surprisingly quiet for the most part, but girls kept squealing during the scares. At one point the main character yells something because the ghost is messing with her, and then everything goes quiet. This one black guy down in front was like "Holy damn!" and everyone busted out laughing.
 
Guuh the last few days have sucked. Spergmate came down with some illness a few days before New Years and he's still ill :c. It meant I had to stay in NYE and look after him whilst everyone else in the world partied.

I don't mind looking after him, he's pretty damn ill and needs someone there, it's just it kinda sucked to bring the new year in so lamely. Also to make things worse, my ex boyfriend was messaging me the entire night calling me a loser for not going to the NYE party all our friends were at. And spergmates friends are accusing me of not letting him go out, when in reality he's just antisocial and sick atm *sigh*.

December was really stressful and it looks like January will be just as stressful too. What's a pisstake is how much I overspent in December getting gifts for everyone and celebrating. 6 of our clique have a birthday in December so on top of Christmas I spent a loootttt of money. I've calculated my finances and it doesn't look like I'll be back on track til February, which means I can't really do anything for MY birthday this month (:_(
 
Work has been pretty stressful over the holidays, but I'm hoping things will be evening out for this coming week. Feeling lots of general malaise, hard to get out of bed because my joints are all sore and stiff. Eyes are all bloodshot and itchy, looks like I've been smoking. :( I guess the upbeat takwaway is that because my neck and back are all stiff I can't turn my head without it hurting so I end up turning/tilting my whole body and I end up moving around like Max Headroom, which the hubby was quick to point out.

Can't help but remember the times when I was a kid where I could wake up and be ready to go bouncing off the walls immediately. Right now I'm sitting on the living room couch with a blanket over my legs like I'm ninety years old. (:_(
 
Ex told me she is dating someone else. Decided to act like it doesn't bother me. It does, but oh well. Time stops for no one and life goes on.
 
Damn, I feel torn apart. Saw a couple episodes of Pit Bulls & Parolees and a documentary called Sounding the Alarms: battling the autism epidemic. While I take Autism Speaks with a grain of salt, both were really difficult to watch. I have a lot to think about.
 
I haven't left my apartment in four or five days (I seriously don't know at this point) and I think I'm going a little nuts. At least I'll be able to go back in to work on Monday.
 
I think I'm doing a bit better than I normally am. I decided to read a couple of articles online talking about dealing with negative thoughts. I've been trying to apply some of the methods they described and so far, they've been working.

For the past couple of years, I've been thinking in extremes a lot of the time and it really wasn't doing me any favors. So trying to catch myself from doing that has made me feel a bit relieved in a sense.
 
So this is kind of a change of pace from my usual antics around here, but I feel like venting after the shit that's happened in my life recently. Apologies in advance for the wall of text. Last night I went to go hang out with some friends, came back home around midnight, and found the house empty. I was expecting my dad to be home but I assumed he was out at my uncle's or visiting with his girlfriend. I woke up this morning to an empty house again. Checked his bedroom and he wasn't there. When I checked my phone I noticed that I had a missed call from an unfamiliar number. Instead of calling back, I tried calling my dad's cell and it went straight to voicemail. So that's when I decided to call the unknown number since it had a local area code. Turned out to be the county jail.

I found out from my uncle a couple hours ago that my dad was driving while intoxicated and ended up crashing into a police cruiser, but that's only what he's heard. There aren't many details other than the fact that he's facing 2 felonies and hasn't had bail posted, which we're hoping will be posted tomorrow at his court hearing. We're not even sure of the details of the arrest, as in if he was pulled from the car or if he tried resisting arrest (which we're really hoping isn't the case), or if someone was killed or harmed. The whole day I've been in shock and denial since I've always known my dad to be a very good man. Recently he's started to get his life back on track after dealing with alcoholism since my mom passed away from cancer several years ago. Given the nature of my dad's job which involves driving, he's most likely going to be unemployed. I'm really hoping to get some answers this week since calling the jail didn't give me much information other than the fact he's alive and ok and that he'll have a court hearing tomorrow. Right now, I'm not sure what the hell I'm going to do other than see how the week goes. So much for a good start to the new year. :/
 
I finally got around to cleaning up and rearranging my room (something I've been meaning to do for a while now). And I have to say, I think I have less room to walk around in than before I got started.

But hey, at least I got a new shelf and computer desk in the deal.
