For the particular poster out there.... This is intended in good clean fun.

Anyway, yes, it has been a while. Been batteling a bought of depression, a cold, and a messy room all at once, not to mention mid terms. But I will tell you what, loyal (if not nitpicky) readers, nothing feels better than recovering from a slump and a cold at once, finding the energy to finally clean up the pile of garbage bags accumulating in the corner of my room (this after having extracted my laundery bag from the midst of them), and get something done for a change.

I slept in today, and yesterday, and slept lots. Getting over a cold involves lots of sleep. As a bonus, sleep usually helps me get over a depression as well, though why, I have no idea. I am still sick, nose dripping and what not, but I feel better - cleansed as it were, from two days of sleep, a bag of bagles, enough oj to float a battle ship in, and what had to have been about a pound of kosher lox eaten with some very unkosher cream cheese.

Now, refreshed, and having heard my favorite U2 song on the radio first thing this afternoon as I drove to school, I feel all may be about to go right in the world again. Chearful optimism, here we come.
