More than a little depressed, but this website says it's Saturday so I'm okay. I think I'm going to get some writing done and drown my sorrows in some kind of engrossing single-player game until my parents drag me off to do more farm stuff.

Pondering a noontime-breakfast other than cereal, but not much use cooking if it's only me. I should start cooking more, again, but I just get a bit frustrated with my gluten-free diet. (Celiac disease. I should write a post about it and how much fun it is to eat out one of these days.)

Also, I'm regretting Facebook again. I joined it while I was in Maine at the prodding of some of my co-workers, but I listed my school info so I keep getting messages from people I went to high school with. I am terrified of people I went to high school with, because catching up with them inevitably means talking about all the shit that's happened in my life and why the smart kid didn't go to college etc. etc. Admittedly, it did go well once, even if she did turn around and stand me up for a date-in-the-non-romantic-sense.

Sorry I'm so whiny lately, folks. And posting so much. It'll go away. And suffering's good for me, right?

Man, Celiac disease is a horrible thing to be stuck with. Two of my friends have it, so I've seen first hand how sick they get if they accidently eat something with gluten in it.

Most disorders that surround the digestive system in any way, shape, or form suck. I have ulcerative colitis (which is thankfully mostly in remission right now) and when it's flared up, living an active normal life is almost impossible for me -- but somehow I manage, even though last time my Dr. joked that the only cure was colon removal (I got a new Dr. after that). Anyway, I understand, so if you ever want to bitch about it, I can listen.

Also, Facebook... I regret being a member almost every day, but I feel like I have to be there or something. For every person I like, there's 2 I don't want to deal with. And don't get me started about HS people. I was friendly with almost everyone in my small school, but that doesn't mean I want to add these people to my friends list now! Most people have kids now, too, which isn't the lifestyle I want, so I can barely even relate to them anyway.

My celiac's pretty manageable, except when I decided that I was going to see if gluten really did make me sick and ate a chunk of bread and two cookies. I was up all night vomiting. Fun. I also have something else probably-digestive that they haven't been able to figure out. Just got labeled irritable bowel because they couldn't find a visible reason for my symptoms.. but it's nothing as bat as ulcerative colitis. Ick. :(

I went to a somewhat-small school in a small town... yeah. I won't say I'm a different person, but there's a lot of things about my life that would just be too much fun for the redneck rumor mill. And yeah, they're all married and stuff.. crazy.
