    OK.  Apparently you can ACTUALLY attempt suicide and still be denied entry into the psych ward, but no matter.  Life has decided to set forth yet another series of obsticles to overcome, and I shall.  Thank you everyone for being there for support.   I am by no means happy, or in a good state, but I'm trying for it.

    Ahhhhhhh... Went out yesterday after BPradio to the bar down the road from my sis's house (which I WALKED to thank you very much:)) and got pretty buzzed.

  • People you meet in life

    Saturday, March 28, 2009 | An Inspiring story
