Proof that it's not just the whole disallowing fandom that's got LJ users pissed off According to that link, LJ allows *baby* abuse as well (or at least, tips, tricks and hints on how to abuse your baby).

Hell, I don't like kids, and I don't want kids, but even *I* know that you can't just set up a schedule for a 3 week old to feed and expect said 3 week old to follow it. And even *I* know that you can't just let a child under the age of 1 cry for hours at a time. They cry for *very* specific reasons that have *everything* to do with their survival and growth, and nothing to do with pissing mommy and daddy off.

I already know that I'd be pissed to have to wake up every 2 hours to feed a squalling brat, which is why I choose not to have one. I don't understand why people who feel the same way choose to have a baby and then repeatedly ignore it. And ignore the medical doctors who are telling them that their child is malnourished.

( 9th Grade )
( My Mom )

10th grade was just...Ick. I acted like a 3 year old, refusing to do anything, and it's a miracle my dad didn't try to drown or smother me. And honestly? If he had, I don't think anyone would've blamed him. I got transferred to BOCES, which wasn't what I really needed at that time. If anything, I needed Hope Hall again, to teach me to suck up my childishness, be more responsible and drive on.

11th grade, I was better. By then, I realized that all that hard work Hope Hall taught me to do? Eh, none of it mattered. I began to realize: I didn't need an A+ in gym! I was really sad when I realized that I had wasted 10-15 minutes of my life hanging on the bars, doing the stupid presidential physical challenge, despite knowing that I wouldn't even make the lowest percentile! Instead of going to gym each class, I only went enough to get a C or a D (and yet I think they gave me like an 80% or a 90%. Lyke ?!). Instead of going to class everyday, I started spending my spare time doing stuff that would matter in the real world. Like, writing in my diary how everyone else sucked and I was the only awesome being on the planet (aside from my A++ internet friends). And like, playing reverse solitaire by putting the Kings in the spot where the Aces go and building down instead of up. I also read important literature, like The Straight Girl's Guide to Sleeping with Chicks by Jen Sincero, My Dog Skip by Willie Morris, My Sweet Audrina and Flowers In the Attic by V.C. Andrews. Another way I spent my spare time during the period I was supposed to have gym class was writing out lists as to what I wanted to do when I got home. But mostly; I wrote about how everyone around me was stuck on stupid.

Anyways, now I have to put on some clothes and give my dad a hug and thank him for putting up with my teenaged self. I'll continue on with both 12th grades later ;)

Kramer’s follow-up polemic, Against Depression, is his answer to a question that he came to see as callous. In the decade since his first book, medical researchers have found evidence to move depression from mood disorder squarely into the category of disease. It causes visible, irreversible damage to the brain cells. It eats at the blood vessels and attacks the heart. It causes bone loss. It’s cyclical, and if left untreated, it gets much worse over time. Depression costs more days off work than backache. In its most obvious health consequence—suicide—depression kills more people annually than war and murder combined. And we now know that, like diabetes, it’s probably behind many of the coronary and other deaths that are recorded as something else.

Actually, I wish I had post partum depression, instead of regular severe depression. Because of Brooke Shields, more people understand post partum depression than regular depression.

This Livejournal is (for now) Friends Only.

If you'd like to read this journal, please leave a comment. Though I warn you, I'm really not that interesting. Most of my social life is done online, since I can easilly find like-minded individuals online, and I tend to be a nerd in real life.

"nerd
n. 1. [mainstream slang] Pejorative applied to anyone
with an above-average IQ and few gifts at small talk and ordinary social rituals. 2. [jargon] Term of praise applied (in conscious
ironic reference to sense 1) to someone who knows what's really important and interesting and doesn't care to be distracted by
trivial chatter and silly status games. Compare the two senses of computer geek."

PS : To anyone who's confused? I deleted all my old entries except the first post (see first post private). I wanted a fresh start, but didn't want to make a new account, and soon, I shall probably change my username (yes, again).

PPS : "I reserve the right to friend/defriend anyone I choose. You reserve the right to ask why I friended/defriended anyone. There is no law that says I must friend back everyone that friends me. There is also no law that says I have to keep you on my friends list." (credit for this (paraphrased) statement goes to : bibliotech)

PPS : I don't participate in memes or quizzes, and when I do, I don't usually post them in my blog. I find that people usually just don't give a damn about my results :P
