Well, yesterday, I was in a car accident. It wasn’t anything major. It was raining really hard and my mom and I were heading home from A&M. We were stopped at a red light waiting for the left turn light to turn green when a guy rear-ended us. There was no damage, but my mom still wanted to file a report since we were in my dad’s car. My back hurt a little from being jarred, but not enough that I went to the hospital.

You know, it seems like Celestial is more active than it used to be, even though there are like 420 fewer members. I guess that’s because now the people who are joining are actually posting, instead of joining and never coming back. I’m sure those members will come around, though.

I got to see my last World Lit test on Tuesday. I got a 115 (out of 100). It was the first time that I’d actually gotten all of the points that were possible. I mean, before I’d gotten all the extra credit I could get, which gave me well over 100 points, but this time I would’ve gotten a 100 without the extra points.

I have a test tomorrow in Physical Science. I think I’ll do well. It’s open-book, which should mean that everyone automatically does well, but that’s not always the case. As long as I remember how to do the problems, then I should be able to kick some butt on the test. Maybe I’ll even get a 100 like last time.

I may get to do a whole fake smile/happiness routine for the women in my Physical Science class and in my PS lab. They think I should be really happy since I do so well with my classes. They say that things are going so well for me in school that I should just be really happy and cheerful. You know, it seems like when I’m doing really well in school, I’m feeling worse depression/sanity-wise. I think it may be related.

My intake appointment for the Mental Health Center is this coming Wednesday. I’m a little nervous about it. I mean, I’m sure things will go okay…I’m just afraid I’ll forget to mention something important. There are a lot of things I need to tell the therapist about, but I’m afraid that I’ll be so nervous that I’ll choose to omit those things or completely forget them. I need to share those things if I ever expected to receive the proper treatment. Of course, I’m afraid that I’ll end up in the hospital or having to go through shock therapy if I’m completely honest.

I need to rant about something that’s been kind of annoying me lately. In Huntsville, we’re celebrating Halloween on Saturday night instead of Sunday night. I get that churches don’t want their little kids running around celebrating a Pagan holiday on a Sunday. The thing that I don’t get is when parents say, “I don’t think it should be celebrated on Sunday because that’s a school night.” Okay, they don’t have a problem with it when Halloween is celebrated on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday…all of those are school days. Why is it such a big deal that Sunday is a school night? Have they ever actually taken the time to think about these things? See, it was nothing major, but I just had to rant a little about it.

Oh, I wanted to congratulate Jennifer and Daniel on the birth of Alyssa. Alyssa is so cute.

Last night my Angel Season 1 DVDs that Aurora (who is an absolute sweetheart) ordered from my Amazon.com wishlist arrived. I was so excited that I opened them right away. Well, when I was looking at the pretty DVDs and their holder, I noticed that there were only 5 DVDs. I thought that was a little strange because I know that most full season (20+ episode) DVD sets have 6 DVDs. I decided to check on the back of the case to see if it was supposed to be 5 or 6…it was supposed to be 6, so I promptly went onto Amazon.com’s website and looked through their information to see what I should do. I found the link to the Return Center, and I filled out a form letting them know that one of my DVDs was missing and that I would like a replacement. I then printed out a label to return the “defective” set. When I got online today, I had an e-mail in my box saying that they were sending the replacements via two-day delivery and that I needed to send the other DVDs back asap. I just have to box them up and take them to the post office. Hopefully, I’ll get it all taken care of early on this week.

I’m pretty bummed that the DVDs weren’t all there because I was planning on watching them if they came this weekend. I wanted to watch “I Will Remember You”, “Five by Five”, and “Sanctuary” (and maybe “Hero” and some others). I had been excitedly looking forward to getting them all week. I guess I can wait a few more days. I just hope the replacements are all there.

So, has anyone else ever gotten a set of DVDs only to find out that the set wasn’t all there? Or is this just a total fluke? (I know its a bit of a fluke, since its the first time it has happened to me.)

*sigh*

I got my midterm test and experiment #2 back in Physical Science Lab today. I got a 100 on the experiment and a 90 on the test. My test was the highest score in the class. (Go me!) It wasn’t the only A, though, because he has a unique grading system. Basically, anyone who gets over a 75 or 80 in his class will get an A. He makes it very difficult to fail his class.

I need to work on my paper for English. I haven’t even started on it yet and the first draft is due on Tuesday. I really need to get my butt to work.

I’ve spent a lot of time this week working on Celestial, which I moved to a new location and changed to a different script. If you were a member of the old boards, please rejoin at the new location. I’m now using phpBB instead of Invision. Why? Well, a couple of months ago, I noticed that it was next to impossible to get any assistance with Invision unless you purchased a license. Then, when I found out a new version of the board was out, I also found out that you now must order a license to even download the script. A yearly license is $69.95 and the lifetime license is $199. I don’t have that kind of money, so I decided to go with a free board. Hopefully, phpBB will stay free. Oh, and hopefully, people who hated Invision, but like phpBB will now join Celestial. Maybe some good will come out of this whole change in scripts.

It seems like whenever I get rude/hateful questions, I seem to get multiple ones. This time I had one asking me how many men I’ve had sex with (in a more vulgar tone) and the other question was:

OMG!! ur like sooooo fat!!! omg i just saw ur wish list and all the cloths and all that has to be xxxxxxl or else u cant fit them! i got a question, how do i gain weight? I’m thinking u know how to answer that since ur probably 200 pounds over-weight

Now, what the Hell are people thinking? First of all, the largest thing that I have on that list is a size 23, which is like an XXL. That’s not that big. There are some people who wear MUCH larger. As for being 200 pounds overweight, I’m not…I’m 100 pounds overweight. That may still sound like a lot, but to me, its not. I’ve lost over 100 pounds in the last year, so I’m quite proud of myself at the size I am right now. Yes, I still want to lose weight, but I’m not going around thinking “God, I’m so fat”. There are some things on my wishlist that are smaller, and I could probably update it so that I had things on there that were only larges because in tops, I wear large and x-large tops now.

My intake evaluation has been postponed from Thursday to tomorrow. Or at least, I think it will be tomorrow. I dread it still, but I really need to see someone for my craziness.

Well, I no longer have the dilemma of having to choose whether or not to go to school on Saturday. On Tuesday afternoon, my teacher called and informed me that there would be no class since it was Fall Break for the students. I think someone must have gone to the Dean or something. So, I get an extra day off this weekend, which is good. This has been one stressful week, so I deserve a break.

Hopefully, my mom will come home this weekend. The doctor keeps saying it’ll be a few days, so maybe he will finally give in and say she can come home on Saturday or Sunday. I miss having her here.

Did anyone else hear about the Michigan GOP trying to get Michael Moore arrested? Apparently, they believe he was trying to bribe people into voting. He gave out ramen noodles and underwear to people who said they would register to vote or would vote in the November elections. He didn’t tell them who to vote for…he was just encouraging them to vote. Somehow, I always associated bribery with something of value being given to the person. I don’t think ramen noodles and underwear can really be considered things of value. Well, maybe the underwear, but ramen noodles? Those things are cheap and icky.

I skinned my fanlisting collective yesterday. So, now True Blue Girl has a Jennifer Garner skin and a Sarah Michelle Gellar skin. I don’t know which I really prefer. I have the SMG one set as default, but I still like the Jennifer Garner one.

So, now weapons experts are stating that the last time Iraq may have had weapons of mass destruction was in 1991. That’s just amazing.

Well, Aurora, one of my sweet hostees, got her own domain. I’m happy for her, but I’ll miss having her as part of the fps family. I hope everything goes well for her, and I encourage everyone to visit her new domain.

I’ve got a really weird situation with class. You see, this week at A&M is Homecoming, so this coming Friday and Saturday, school is supposed to be out for students. It says that there is a student break on the school’s website. According to my Physical Science teacher, though, we have class next Saturday morning. My lab teacher checked it out and found out that the school is closed, but my class teacher is holding class anyway. I don’t think I should have to go, since its a holiday for students. I don’t see how he could do anything for credit next Saturday. If the school says that we’re not supposed to be there, then we shouldn’t have to be there. In my lab, I talked to someone who was in his class last fall and she said that he did the same thing last year for both Homecoming weekend and for Thanksgiving break. That’s even more ridiculous. People (not me) leave town during Thanksgiving break. How can you possibly expect them to come to class on a day that has been decreed as an official off day? Anyways…my mom suggested that I go anyway, but my dad basically said it sounded funky for me to go on an off day. So, I get to make a choice about if I want to go next Saturday morning or not. Thank goodness my lab teacher found out about the break, so he’s postponed our midterm (which he had scheduled for next week). If I do go next Saturday, I’ll only have to be there until 11, instead of 1:30. Still, I want to be out all day. I need to rest.

I think I’m really going crazy. My depression is getting worse and I’m having other symptoms which aren’t really good. I’ve contemplated asking my mom if I could see my psychologist more often, but I don’t want to add any extra costs. I could always go to the Mental Health Center, which would be a bit cheaper. I’m a little afraid of doing that, though, since I don’t like change…especially when it comes to therapists. It’s just so hard to trust anyone enough to tell them how crazy you really are…especially mental health professionals. I don’t want to tell them too much because I’m afraid of the consequences of doing that. Then again, if I don’t tell them everything, then I won’t be properly treated.
