Since I am a balanced person (hah) I'm going to write a balanced post. My dad always prefaces things with "you want the good news or the bad news first?" I don't have one I always pick, it depends on how I'm feeling. But today is definitely a bad-things-first type of day. So, without further ado,

The Bad
(1) So I don't get jealous very often (again, hah), but when I do I get reallllly jealous. Of everything. And everyone. And now would be one of those times when I am jealous. It sort of started with a conversation with Tyler on IM. We were discussing "divine beauty" vs. "hot beauty," or pretty girls versus hot ones. According to Tyler, I'm not allowed to be jealous of hot girls because they're usually not smart. But I'm allowed to be jealous of pretty girls, because they can be smart. Um. Thanks Tyler. ::waves::
(2) I hate looking younger than I am. I know I've whined about this here before, but it keeps popping up. I get asked EVERYWHERE if I'm over 12. 12! I'm 17! That's five years of difference. I may be short and have no boobs, but couldn't I just LOOK old? It's almost enough to make me start dressing like a slut, as Chinh suggested last time this issue came up. Except I might end up looking like a slutty freshman. On second thought, freshman is an improvement on 12. People think my sister is older than me. She's going to be 14 at the end of this month. Let me shoot someone. God.
(3) I was going to get my licence on Monday, but then the state government decided to shut down. So now I can't. And I am still reliant on my parents to get anywhere. And my mom has a real estate class every day from 8-5. So I am stranded at home.
(4) Also, all negativity in the universe comes from The Internet, and specifically (dun dun duhhh) Internet Porn. Want more of the story? I'll tell it to anyone who asks. Note: this may or may not be my way of seeing if anyone actually reads my blog, but believe me the porn story is funny. Really sad, but funny at the same time.

The Good
This section is to balance the first one.
(1) Luckily, even when I'm overcome with jealousy, I can be excruciatingly happy at the same time. I've been dancing in my bedroom and having actual conversations with my sister. (You, way in the back, what did you say? You thought I was jealous of my sister? Well, I am, but right now I'm not really feeling it)
(2) I also bought myself a pile of brand new books today. Mmmm, I love the smell of new books. Since everyone is dying to know what I bought, I guess I'll give in and tell you: The Time Traveller's Wife, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, and Alice on her Way. With the exception of the Alice book (an addiction since I was in 5th grade, it's embarrassing) they're all Good Books. I'm really excited to read them. I actually already read the Alice one, halfway at the store, halfway here. And guess what? She's a UU. I've read 16 of these books, and it only comes up now that she's UU.
(3) Also, I'm done with therapy forEVER. That's right, Amelia is officially Not Depressed. How cool is that? I'm still paranoid and have a guilt complex, but I'm not depressed. ::dances::
(4) I rode the bus to Andy's house yesterday, and it was A Grand Adventure. I had to ride 3 buses, a woman with very few teeth told me where to go, and two bus drivers yelled at me (though only one was angry). I also got to ride for $1, I don't know why. The guy asked me if I was under 12 (see above) and I was like "noooo" and he let me on for under the child price. What is that? Hopefully it's a good thing. Anyway, it was fun riding the bus, and now I totally don't have to rely on my parents. I just have to put two hours of time and stress. Lol.
(5) And! I get to go to the hick carnival! It's near Alex's cabin and I am soooo excited. I went once before, we played count the mullet and we ogled carnies. Hehe.
(6) I don't know why, but I really like capitalizing things that are not proper nouns. As in "Not Depressed" or "A Grand Adventure." It's fun.

I really must be done with depression, because there are more good things than bad. And I totally did not plan that.
