cannot believe that we are almost halfway through july already,
and damit i have not done anything fun yet
i have been reading, found an easy, interesting and amazingly pertinent teen fiction section at the library and breezed through 8 books last month on subjects from anorexia/bulemia, coming out to family and peers, cutting/self mutilation, family dysfunction(depression, alcoholism, abuse), differences with peers, and more. where were these books when i was in junior high and high school? nothing-and i mean nothing like it was available and believe me i read the library teen section cover to cover. i would have given my left arm to have had resourses like those to help me feel not so abnormal, alienated, or lonely.
i have rented dozens of films, many of them im very happy to recommend, and spent more time than i'd like to admit on line and playing spider solitare.
met several women, most plesant and some sorta psycho, but i refuse to give up, there has to be a lady out there for me. in the mean time i will have fun finding her.
love spending time with my nephew and am very excited to have a niece coming this fall.
i miss hanging out with my gal friends and have had a few episodes of depression reoccur as well.
guess that is about all i have for now. happy summer everyone. take care, kiss the ones you love, tell those you care about that you do, and remember where you came from.
sweet dreams.
