Mom took me to the doctor today to see if I could get on an anti-depressant. Mr. Doctor-Dude said I didn't need one particularly, but he said I could try it and it might help. So I'm now on Prozac. (Makes me think of the one guy from "The Sons of Provo", hah!)
And I just realized...
For years and years, probably from eleven on or so, I've wished my life to be "interesting." My journals are filled with, "I wish my life was interesting!!" (Boy was I whiny!) Well, you know what? I think it is. I got what I wished for. Now I will view this difficulty differently. It is, as you might say, writing material. For my memoir!
I shall make the best of it.
I shall treat these problems in a way that later I will be proud of.
After all... it is going in my memoir. :)

Shredding
Life seems to be a downward spiral. I won't say exactly what is going on, but "family shredding apart" seems to be explanation enough. I only know one thing: I don't like my parents fighting.
Coincidentally, the beginning of my most recent story starts with Jenna's parents arguing.
I'm really annoyed with God. Really annoyed. Sometimes I just want to turn my back on him, cross my arms, and say, "Well, that's what you did to me." But I'm refraining from that. For the last few days, however, I've had nothing to do with him--no praying, no reading, no thinking. I need distance for a while.
For any of you who pray, I need it.
On a better note:
... Went shopping and bought a pretty pair of gray pajamas, as well as a flowered t-shirt from AE.
... Took a walk in the woods today and talked to a red-tailed hawk the whole time, as he was perched on top of a pine tree and screeching at me. I've known him for about 2 years. Him and I are good friends, despite his irritability at my presence.
... I've actually picked up storywriting again.
... I have sisters and friends who love me.
... I have decided that I am a STRONG person.

Who said the GED was hard?
...I think it's stupid!
My scores so far on the GED are as follows:
Writing: N/A
Reading: N/A
Math: 530
Science: 600-somthin'
Social Studies: 700-somethin'
The minimum score is 200, the maximum is 800. You need a score of 410 to pass.
That's like 30%! (You can tell my math is bad because I can't even figure out what percentage it actually is.)
Blah. What's this whole "study for the GED" thing? I did none of that. I guess people get scared and the major book companies decide they can get a lot of money selling you a $30 book telling you everything you don't need to know.
Grr.
I'll let you know when I pass.

Throwing in the towel...
...at least on that method of blogging. I don't think I was cut out to write devotionals (unlike my extremely talented friend Earwen).
Well it comes down to the fact that this blog is just A Blog. Whatever I want it to be, whenever I want it to be. That's what A Blog is, right? Kinda like a journal. I like that idea. =)
Now, as long as you all expect the unexpected (or the just plain boring), I can continue.
