Snails Don't Really Explode, Don't Worry

#6 ~~ October 21, 2015 ~~ Electricity is in My Soul, Steam Powered Giraffe

I just unlocked The Negative in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, so I'm pretty pumped about that. I dunno how well I'll do in The Dark Room though. I heard it's more difficult than Chest, and I've only beaten ??? once, because I have a hard time going through even Cathedral. Then again I feel like Cathedral is easier than Sheol. So I suppose the amount of health I'll lose from both upstairs and downstairs will be equal. I don't even know what the fight with The Lamb looks like. Every time I watch LethalFrag on Twitch.tv do his Dark Room runs, I fall asleep before he gets to The Lamb, because his streaming schedule is from 7pm - 3am now, and I fall asleep around 9pm or 10pm. I do that so that I can wake up early enough to finish up all my classes before 2:00pm. Also I started sleeping earlier to match the time zone gap between here in California and over in Florida where my friend I really like moved to for college. I used to go to sleep at around 12pm, so if you think about it being 12pm in Florida, that would mean it's 9pm here.

Oh! Also, happy Back to the Future day! I got permission from my dad for mine and my sister's friend to come over to our place after school and watch Back to the Future, so that's super cool. The last time I had people over was during my birthday, and at this point 2 of the 3 people are people I totally don't even like anymore. and the other person is the one who moved to Indiana. My birthday after that, which was last year, I hardly even celebrated. I was mega depressed at the time and couldn't care less. I say hardly, because my mom still made a cake and my parents and my sister got me gifts. I never ask for gifts. My friend in Florida insists he get me something, but I tell him he doesn't have to. He doesn't even know what to get me anyway, haha.

That reminds me, in a couple months it will have been a year since I got rid of my depression. I remember it--the middle of winter break--I had an anxiety attack and fell asleep after a ton of crying and shaking, and the next morning it was just gone. I had been studying Buddhism at the time, and getting over the break up with my ex-douche-beard I mentioned a few days ago. He dumped me and called me pathetic and stuff. That was an addition to my depression that I had had since 7th grade. Studying Buddhism helped me find myself and realize what was really important to me and all that stuff. I guess it just all hit me at once--and BOOM--'twas gone! I was a completely different person that the one who existed before winter break of 2014. I mean, yeah, people change over time, but this change was less of a gradual tip-toe across stepping stones, and more like a gigantic leap across the entire universe. Yeah, I'm that different of a person now, and I like myself way more than I used to.

Yes, this huge change has been the major contributing factor to the fact that moved from a public school to an online school, and why I have hardly any friends. Despite that, my life has been much better than it's ever been. Not to say it isn't a bit boring. I am in a boring town. As anyone who lives here--this place is boring. And smelly. And polluted. L.A. County, ladies and gentleman. Now, I'm not saying I'm not a city person. I can't imagine living in a small town that's even semi-rural where everyone's up and on your business. My mom told me about when she lived in a place like that and how it was gross and all. I prefer a clean city. Clean is preferable. Clean is nice--the end, thanks for playing.
