Hello there?

Ah, welcome back to my sad, forgotten little blog. No updates for the whole year! So, what has happened in all this time? A lot. And, this being the blog it is, most of it was bad. Grandad died at the start of the year. We were there, when he took his last breath. We've seen him deteriorate, over the year, paralysed, mute and helpless. He didn't deserve that, nobody deserves that, but especially not him. He was the most brilliant man. It was standing room only at the church for the funeral, so many people paying tribute.
Soon afterwards, I went numb. Drank, smoked, cut. Got manic got wasted got hysterical. Suicidal. A week in psych hospital. A strange place, that leeches your sanity away, an institute of paranoia and frustration. I met some lovely people there though. Especially Donna. I wonder what they are doing now. A couple of them, I have seen in the outside world, and I smile because they're free, they made it. The rest, I assume are still there. I came out of hospital wild and angry. I don't like being locked up. And the food there was baaaad.
There have been many good times as well. Awesome nights out, at the Nag's or at Jess and Alex's house (they have a house! We're all getting old!). Friends. Me and Kayl's picnic in the field. Indeed, I think my friends are the good news.
And more good news. I'm signed up for an Open University home learn course. If I work hard, then I could get an honours degree. I have to do this! I'm going to be clever again! I won't be an uneducated dropout!
Wow this is one stupidly long post. But never mind. I'm not done yet. I have half a year to fill in here, and I know I don't have much of a life, but it still takes a lot of space.
In the annoying hypochondriac's health news, I found out that I'm allergic to food. My Dad spent a lot of money on a test, where you send them some blood, and they find out which foods upset your immune system. I got the most annoying list of foods to avoid. Yeast: no bread, no beer. Egg whites: no fried, boiled, scrambled, poached, omletted, or other eggs. No cakes, biscuits, etc. Basically, any food that is good has egg white in it. They are the magic ingredient. So I'm not too strict on following the no-egg rule. I just don't eat actual eggs any more. If I can't see the egg in the food, then it's fine. So cake is fine :) Then there is random stuff, like tuna, kidney beans, and cola nuts. No more Diet Coke! Except with my Malibu. If I'm drunk, then I can't be allergic to anything. See? Alcohol solves all problems.
Except for psychosis. And memory loss. Every time I drink, my alcohol tolerance decreases. I become more of a lightweight every time. I know, this shouldn't be physically possible, but physics was never my strong point. I got so horrible that my mum phoned my therapist. I don't know why she thinks being drunk is a mental health problem. Actually, everything I do that my parents don't like, they see it as an issue for the psychiatrists. Mum actually wrote a list for them. I think I'll put it up in my next post. I think this one is long enough already.
