i guess its time to update.

maybe i'm not so lonely. You know, it feels good to get things off your chest to people you love, the truth really does set you free sometimes. i highly recomend it.

My life has been pretty good. except yesterday i heard some horrible news, but i'd rather not talk about it because i'll just get enraged again. i'm not a big fan of being enraged.

KATIE: she doesnt have a blog, but she has my link so she reads it sometimes, and i want to let everyone know that shes and amazing sister and she listens to me and cares about what i think and feel and i love her very much and couldnt ask for anyone more magnificent then her.

so yeah. i havent been spending as much time doing nothing the last couple of days, maybe thats why i'm in a good mood. i cant handle being alone for long periods of time (pathetic, i know). and i really hope that trend continues. i like people a lot.
