I'm the One You're Using, Please Don't Push Me Aside

A written journal has been used in place of this while I've been having more and more fun with my "new" life. I also needed a place to escape to while I had not only one, but multiple nervous breakdowns. I can't say that I am inpatient again, I'm not that bananas. Or at least I don't think I'm that bananas. I'm just bananas enough to sign up for outpatient treatment to stabilize my mood while I'm going through a tough time.

The Escort bit the dust, just a mere two and a half years after the initial purchase. The car gave me nothing but problems, to be quite honest. It wasn't what I wanted from the get-go, and much less, it only had two doors and the CD player was broken for quite some time until my father so graciously purchased a new one for me for my twenty-first. Now, less than two months after the installation, the car is junk. We are for sure taking the stereo though. My new car is coming home on Tuesday, and believe me, it's already like my child. A 2004 Toyota Corolla, the kind of car I wanted in the first place. Now it's mine and I couldn't be happier. It's gorgeous and believe me, I am going to try and keep it that way.

So Tuesday is going to bring a huge change for America. Barack Obama will finally be inaugurated as the nation's next President. It's sort of thrilling to realize that I voted for him and now he's going to be our President. The only annoyance I've been facing is that every single program on TV has to do with Obama and while I love the man a whole bunch, I would like to continue to love him, so I've been permanently glued to my Friends DVDs yet again. I still also have yet to see last week's episode of CSI as I was too busy flipping a quarter to see which of my friends had to take a shot. Although, I did have the opportunity to watch it considering they just got cable, but I think their company was much more important, especially in my fragile state.

Four of my friends embarked on a journey to our nation's capital this weekend so I've become a semi-hermit. Eric's been busy giving people rides all over the globe so I've been waiting for everyone to be not busy again so they can have Kathleen back in their daily lives. I'm just hoping that my friends find their way back without getting stuck in the unbelievable snowstorm that has chosen to hit RI at a pretty awful time. As far as I know, there's been at least six inches accumulation already. Way too much snow for me. But at least I don't have to drive myself around in it.
