  <title>Is it just me,,,?</title>
  <link>http://dark-poles.livejournal.com/13191.html</link>
  <description>...or are those ads for drugs such as Abilify (what a horrible name) hilarious as hell?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Every time one of those comes on I want to laugh my ass off, and the best thing is that my parents would laugh right along with me from the humor of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They&apos;re funny as hell to me...</description>

I&apos;ll take this one from the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A layer of sourdough bread (really good sourdough, mind you) with mustard, then three or four slices of turkey, two slices of provelone cheese, three pieces of bacon, several dill pickle slices, some tomato, some lettuce, some black olives, and another slice of sourdough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*drools*&lt;br /&gt;</description>

&amp;nbsp;A friend is someone that I am absolutely sure thinks of me as a friend as well.&amp;nbsp; An acquaintance is just someone I know.&amp;nbsp; The difference?&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s all in whether I think that the person thinks of me as a friend.</description>

My sister calls me Elli, and yes, it&apos;s supposed to be spelled that way.&amp;nbsp; I use that name on a forum I&amp;nbsp;go on,&amp;nbsp;and it was derived from my name on another forum that I go on sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

One set of neighbors are rednecks.&amp;nbsp; One set is a family full of Republicans.&amp;nbsp; And the other... well, I don&apos;t know most of them, but I know at least one of them&apos;s a cool person.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;I wish I could disappear.&amp;nbsp; I don&apos;t want to do this anymore.&amp;nbsp; No matter how much things change, I won&apos;t be able to rise to the challenge of changing with it... It&apos;s not even worth trying...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter how much things change, I&apos;ll always be the same old me.&amp;nbsp; It isn&apos;t worth it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&amp;nbsp;Oh, let&apos;s see... I&apos;ve got a bad temper, I&apos;m too crazy for most to fathom... mood swings from hell, oftentimes brutally honest... Overly liberal for some, maybe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are lots of reasons.</description>

&amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve got several.&amp;nbsp; One of them is this really ridiculous jester type, but I look like an incredible idiot.&amp;nbsp; That&apos;s my hyper persona, in essence.&amp;nbsp; I use it at school for some reason...&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When talking to someone one on one I&apos;ll be super serious and kinda quiet.&amp;nbsp; I guess it&apos;s trying to sound as smart as possible even though the words are coming out all jumbled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My third kicks in every so often... super-depressive, super quiet. Not a good sign, as a general rule.</description>

I honestly am really good at keeping secrets... at least, I can keep other people&apos;s secrets.&amp;nbsp; Certain secrets feel like lies if I don&apos;t tell them, so...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, most of the important ones aren&apos;t out yet.</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m not looking forward to the future.&amp;nbsp; At all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either I play a little game of Russian Roulette with one of the crappy drugs I could take for my bipolar issues, or I get some obvious stuff (weight gain, acne, hand tremors, possible headaches) from the other crappy drug I&apos;ve been offered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I take the one with the obvious stuff, I&apos;ll possibly be really sick.&amp;nbsp; Of course, the same thing might happen with the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so not looking forward to tomorrow.&amp;nbsp; I wish I could be wiped off the earth.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>After the bomb...</title>
  <link>http://dark-poles.livejournal.com/9450.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Ten hours after the doctor dropped the bomb... we haven&apos;t said a word about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorta like pretending that there&apos;s no elephant in a room if there is a huge elephant there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granted, I don&apos;t know if my mom knows.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s still sucks.&amp;nbsp; We&apos;re supposed to talk about options, me and my parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&apos;s the REALLY awkward thing: my sister is clueless.&amp;nbsp; Here&apos;s the thing:&amp;nbsp;she&apos;s younger.&amp;nbsp; How the hell do you tell your little sister that you may gain weight, you may get a ton more acne, and, if you&apos;re taking the right pills and you&apos;re unlucky, you may end up with a really nasty rash that could kill you?&amp;nbsp; Yeah, exactly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does she even need to know?&lt;/p&gt;I want to put my fist through a wall.&amp;nbsp; I want to scream, cry, do anything.&amp;nbsp; I want to let it go.&amp;nbsp; I want to forget.&amp;nbsp; I want to forget there was anything that was ever wrong.&amp;nbsp; I want to forget that today even happened.&amp;nbsp; I want to forget about all the things I&apos;ve done wrong.&amp;nbsp; I want to forget that I&apos;m not perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just want to forget, and yet I can&apos;t afford to forget about it.&amp;nbsp; What the hell is up with that?</description>

  <title>Trying to stay in control...</title>
  <link>http://dark-poles.livejournal.com/9117.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;m prepared to lose it.&amp;nbsp; Oh my god oh my god.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m having the day from hell...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;Read more...&quot;&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid2&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;THE DAY FROM HELL!!!!!!&quot;&gt;First, the jazz band didn&apos;t even play my song during the community meeting!&amp;nbsp; ASSHOLES!!!!!!&amp;nbsp; The guy who was in control (a sophomore) seems to think I&apos;m not as good at the piano as the other pianist, just because the other guy&apos;s his friend and because I&apos;m a freshman and because I&apos;m a girl! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, I nearly knocked them out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, I had to sit through a presentation on the RealCare Baby!&amp;nbsp; Woohoo, a whining, screaming baby sim. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth, I ended up seeing this psychiatrist today.&amp;nbsp; Part one of this bad part of my day: apparently, she got the really high priority cases into her office today.&amp;nbsp; In other words, I&apos;m sick. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part two, and what&apos;s really forcing me into an &quot;oh my god oh my god&quot; mode: Woohoo, psychiatric diagnosis #1!&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m bipolar!&amp;nbsp; Woohoo (sarcasm intended)! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make of this what you will.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

  <link>http://dark-poles.livejournal.com/8491.html</link>
  <description>Dear Imogen and Kyle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOW DARE YOU TRY AND MANIPULATE ME?&amp;nbsp; I am over you, so get out of my life.&amp;nbsp; I never want to see either of you in my life again.&amp;nbsp; You hear?&amp;nbsp; There&apos;s a reason I de-friended you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want to know why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You manipulated me.&amp;nbsp; You kicked me when I was down.&amp;nbsp; You made it so I had nowhere to turn.&amp;nbsp; You made it so that I didn&apos;t want to return to a place that I had once loved.&amp;nbsp; You bullied me.&amp;nbsp; You left me out and talked about me behind my back.&amp;nbsp; You left my best friend out in the cold.&amp;nbsp; You denied every minute of it.&amp;nbsp; And, possibly the most disturbing thing of all, you&apos;re trying to hurt me again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never did a thing to deserve this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I won&apos;t let you hurt me ever again.&amp;nbsp; I won&apos;t lose control to you again.&amp;nbsp; This is my life, and I don&apos;t want you in it.&amp;nbsp; So don&apos;t bother trying to get to me again.&amp;nbsp; You two can talk about me as much as you want.&amp;nbsp; You can say all the bad things about me that you want to.&amp;nbsp; You can call me stupid, crazy, babyish, anything.&amp;nbsp; I don&apos;t care anymore, because you&apos;re not my friends, and you never were.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the last words I&apos;m wasting on you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.&amp;nbsp; To Imogen: I bet your friend Shannon hates you; you&apos;re the least supportive person I&apos;ve ever met.&amp;nbsp; Besides, you and Lauren (from Pico cabin, also known as your best friend) were ragging on her every time you talked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To Kyle: YOU SUCK!!!!!!!</description>
