I’m so very sorry that I haven’t been writing in this lately. I just got so overwhelmed at the end that I couldn’t find time, and before getting overwhelmed, I was just too… depressed? crazy? something along those lines.
To start with, the biggest thing of importance: I was in the hospital from the 12th until the 22nd. Psych ward, as you may have guessed (if you know me any at all). The Kettering Medical Center was actually incredibly nice and comfy. Unlike my old psychiatrist, they actually listened to me, and didn’t lie to me out of incompetency. I was put on a mood stabilizer on Monday, and it’s doing wonders. I suggested that to my Logan County shrink, and she refused because I “didn’t need it.” Guess what, bitch, I DO!
But anyway, that’s besides the point. I got some meds sorted out, and I’m even going to get set up with a therapist and a shrink in my price range. That’ll be great. It’ll be nice to feel normal again.
I also met some really great people while I was in the looney bin. A few of them I’ll probably never get the chance to meet again (like Kathy, and Robert, and Jonathon), but a few I managed to at least attempt some contact with outside: I added Alex to my Facebook friends, and am trying to add Davina (but I can’t figure out how to search outside of your networks yet), and I got Steph’s phone number and gave her mine. Here’s hoping for some friendships. *crosses fingers*
In other big news, as of a few minutes ago, I am unemployed. I went in and quit at RMS. I was sick of the stress, the hours, the low pay, and all the confusing driving. But most of all, I was fucking sick and tired of cuntbitch Benita and her constant “hissy fits.” That woman LIVED to call me and get pissed off if I didn’t answer. She would leave huffy voice messages about how incompetent I was cuz I didn’t answer her incessant whining phone calls. When I did accidentally answer, she would tell me just how stupid and unreliable and awful I am (even if I was on the clock, with a client, in the middle of a fucking Wal-Mart). You want to know just how unreliable I was? I turned in my time sheets late once. ONCE! But nooooooooooooo, being late once in 4 months makes me unreliable. Then there were the temper tantrums she would throw on the phone when I wasn’t able to drop everything at her beck and call and fill in for someone who didn’t feel like going in that day, for one inane reason or another. Bitch, you are not god, so quit getting pissed when people don’t worship the ground you walk on.
But enough of that. She’ll rot in hell for how poorly she treats those MRDD people.
Let’s see, what else. Been reading a lot. Started that Series of Unfortunate Events series. Very good. So is the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series. Both juvenile, but who cares, if it’s good? Right now, I’m reading Batman And Philosophy, which is reeeeeeeeally good. I adore the Pop Culture And Philosophy series. I read the Harry Potter one a few years ago, so I put in a reserve for a whole mess load of ‘em at the library. Batman was just the first one I got. I have on my waiting-to-read list the Matrix one, and the Monty Python one. ^_^
Oh, yeah, almost forgot. I ended up writing a whole bunch of poetry while I was in the hospital. About 25 or so, I think. So now, I think I’m finally ready to try and publish a book (like Karyn did). I already know how I’m going to put it together. It’ll be poetry interspersed with ramblings of the Amber variety. Maybe about the poem, maybe about the book, maybe about the subject of them poem. I just think that would make it a more interesting read. One thing I’m trying to figure out, though, is what name to use as the author. I like the idea of using V. Amber, because I don’t think it would look very professional if it was written by VampAmber. I refuse to put it as written by Amber Daugherty. I hatehatehate my last name. The only person I’m related to with it is my brother. I don’t have a drop of Daugherty blood in me, only Hamlers and Chandler. Maybe I should publish it under Amber Chandler? I dunno. Too bad I can’t just wait a few years and publish it as Amber Dagg. ^_^
I’ll make sure to post all my new poems up soon, I promise.
And one last thing. OhayoCon is next Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait. Anybody else going? I’m doing the three day. Jim and I already ordered our pre-reg badges. It’s gonna be so much fun! I haven’t been to an anime con since OhayoCon ‘07. *impatient*
Okay, another last thing (I keep remembering things when I’m about to finish). I’m going to look into trying to figure out a way to go back to Wright State. I’m thinking of trying one of those debt consolidation places, have them pay off the $12,000 I owe WSU, and then paying them off as I attend classes. I sure do hope it works. *crosses fingers*
One more thing, really, and then I will shut up. I bought two exercise DVDs yesterday, and this time, I plan to actually start using them. Hopefully, I’ll lose at least the nine pounds I gain while I was in the hospital (what? the food was tasty!).
