|9:10 PM| SUCCESS. I didn't claim to be a raving lunatic, so I'm not seeing the doc tonight. I did claim it was something of an emergency though, so I am instead seeing him tommorow afternoon where I will describe the ups and downs I feel every 10 seconds or so. With any luck he will bury my head in drugs and I will be free to live out my life in a bird cage of mind altering substances. I will think deep thoughts and generally try not to drool on myself.
I write this on a computer I have just restored to life for my aunt and uncle. With a combination of some of my best hardware and some cold hearted file deletion, I've got a computer that has gone from crap to Supreme Office Machine of Power. Perhaps it can open Castle Grayskull. Wait, I'll need Skeletor's sword as well for that. I only bring this up because the bits and pieces I have installed here are performing so much more impressively than they ever did under my control. It kind of bothers me.

As I am wrapped up fully in the events of my own selfish head, the lives of my friends are thrown into disarray. I am unable to offer any manner of aid to them other than perhaps an ear and the occasional rational thought. It makes me feel all the lower that I can only think of myself in what is obviously a very turbulent time for those I care about. Shortly, I hope, I will be able to be the kind of friend I would respect in someone else. I will still strive to be that kind of person in the meantime. Things may have changed, but I am still committed to the ones around me.
