Happy Birthday
Aug. 16th, 2014 10:30 pmSo today I am twenty.
I haven't been on here in weeks due to a variety of Life Things driving this journal right the fuck out my mind, most importantly that after a very long struggle with cancer and dementia and fighting children, my grandmother died. Her oldest son and oldest daughter had both been waging war with my mother and other aunt and uncles for months before, and I'm not actually sure where things stand with them anymore because I haven't really been in anything like contact with most of my extended family since the funeral.
My parents and I just got back from a vacation to California, and I had a surprisingly good time for a vacation, despite four different days worth of quiet panic attacks at dinner from Overwhelming Human Contact.
I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, which probably explains the above, and can go on top of the growing pile of Things It Would Have Been Nice To Know Ten Years Ago.
In about two weeks I will go back to college, and while at the end of last semester all I could think about was how much I wanted to get home, now all I can think about is how desperate I am to get away again. Predictable.
So that's been the unimpressive story of the weeks I've been gone, out of contact with my friends and with this portion of the internet, because as it turns out, I'm as shit at online diary keeping as I am at the analogue kind. Hopefully I'll get back on track with this.
