Things I've done today:
1. watched the grass grow
2. fought a war over a stupid insult
3. fell madly, passionately in love with someone
4. started packing for my trip to Africa
5. locked myself in my room*
6. found a monster in my closet
7. Woke up.

Will no one save me from this boring life?!?!?! Wait, never mind, there's too much drama in it to be boring.

* I actually did that once. I was replacing the lock on my door, didn't have all the components in and fully locked myself in there. Thankfully I'm a fast learner and I had a pointy screwdriver.

I don't usually keep up with what's going on in the media and stuff, but there's this firestorm about what Tom Cruise said apparently. He is way off with the Scientology wackiness, but I agree with him about psychology/psychiatry.
America likes to take a pill for anything wrong with them. They wanted to give a sibling of mine Ritalin becuase he 'wouldn't stay in his seat' during class times. So of course, they diagnosed him with ADD. He was like five years old at the time or something, maybe six. Guess what? He grew out of it!!!! He was acting like any five-year-old kid>hyper. So that REALLY bugs me and made me start to realize that we prescribe medication to anyone with emotional problems. My friend was suicidal in about 10th grade (I had been a year earlier) and they gave her anti-depressants that now they say CAUSE suicidal tendencies in high schoolers. Blargh! Don't mask the symptoms by taking multi-colored pills! I've found you can solve your emotional problems by going to God. Anxiety? God. "Do not be anxious for anything..." Depression? God. Uh, try reading the Psalms. Self-image problems? God. I mean, come on, He died for us. And he would have done it even if we were the only person to do it for. We all have an wonderful intrinsic worth for Him. And if the God of the Universe wants my company and wants to dwell in me just so He can help, I'm all for Him! The Trinity is so very cool.
Anyway, I have to go clean the kitchen and take a shower now. From there, it's into the harbor for a delicious Americano and Lavender gum from Monica's Chocolate Box and Robin's Egg Bleu. I might have time to post later today, we shall see. Bye for now all:)
