Fingers crossed for your dad Erica. I hope everything ends up okay. :(

I'm really sorry to hear that about your dad. I hope he either recovers or gets to spend his final moments as a happy man.

Anyway, school went surprisingly well today. I expected to act as much like a zombie as I felt, but I think I made a few friends and got a good start going. For once, I have high hopes for my future.

I am reminded of how I don't like funerals, weddings, or religious services in general, because I don't like life being scripted. I'd much rather mourn for someone in a private, personal setting, not sandwiched into a time slot, not overlaid with palliative (and to me often empty) words; I'd rather see people married without any script they follow as if life were a play.

Yesterday I learned my dad's cancer has returned and so we fear the race between death from cancer vs. death from chemotherapy side effects will speed up soon. Therefore today I'm thinking more about the stage of life when one is living while dying, and I am feeling fear about my own loved-one having to face that.

Later today, though, I get to volunteer at an elementary school where I'll help kids with reading. That should be fun. :)

Very sorry to hear about your dad, puts my ultimately unfounded recent concerns into perspective.

Thanks, Kayleigh, Mykonos, and Stu! I'm glad your school day went well, Mykonos. I'm also glad you don't have diabetes, Stu! Good health really is precious and hard to appreciate fully, I think, until one has some troubles. I try to remind myself that as long as someone is alive, there's hope. :) It isn't over 'til it's over.

Same dude who a couple of nights ago accosted me has since managed to become a felon.

Last night, this homeless kid I know got in a fight with one of my best girl friends. Fisticuffs were thrown, I was there to break them up but not before a police officer spotted the whole thing. After the cop took down his information, the homeless kid tried to run, but he tripped and fell headlong into a tree. Ten minutes later I saw him again, blinded and shirtless (he apparently got maced), being pursued on foot by an array of police vehicles. After all was said and done, he managed to commit some nasty crimes, one of which was assaulting a police officer.

Suffice to say if this idiot isn't in jail now, he will be soon.

I feel like three kinds of ****. I've lost one of my better friends because yesterday she found out I want a sex change. She phoned me up, ranting and raving at me that I was a 'freak'

Worked all day for the 6th day in a row.

Hung out with friends last night and went out drinking. I kicked my friends pack of cigs and my show flew off onto the roof in the process. I decided it would be a good idea to have two of my friends give me a boost onto the roof lol. Well that worked out well but never found my shoe and got banned again from the same bar I was banned from for fighting back in May haha.

It was a good night. Threw the other shoe out the window because I was pissed I lost the other one.

So a good weekend I think.

No work today :yeah:

Saves me 100 miles on my car.

getting pretty fed-up of the whole deal now, really

there's only so much avarice for music in me
