Ok so obviously there's a reason to this list...I dont know if anyone noticed that I've been gone for a while but I have...MIA is really a play on words for this list...well for me specifically... not only does it stand for missing in action but it is almost like a code name for bulimia...I've struggled with it since I was 12... Im going to be 18 soon...that will be 5 and a half years...so I went into an eating disorders re-hab and other parts of my life just got put on hold...I didnt get so bad that I had to stay at the hospital full-time...but I was there during the day every week day... I was away from everyone at school...I was trying to learn outside the class...which even with our genius hospital tutor (and yes he is a genius)was hard because he would have to come up with a lesson plan for it and blah blah blah... my life became all about getting better...I would stay home on week ends to eat according to meal plans that i made with the dietian and sit in complete discomfort because it was sooo hard for me to hold down that much food...the only thing that i did was hang out with my boyfriend and go to the gym once a week for swimming... i went to school the odd time for drama and everyone was nice to me...but they were all dealing with the pressure that made me snap so I kinda fell behind socially too...this sight is great but i just didnt have the energy to do even have an opinion...I DIDN'T EVEN CARE THAT BUSH WON THE ELECTION!...0_0...but Ive come a long way in the past few months...I actually get uncomfortable when hunger pangs hit and then dont feel like spewing after...and Im back at school part time...so Im starting to have opinions again...but yeah if anyone was wondering where my anti-bush statements were during the heat of the election...thats where i was...hope to be back to my old stubborn ways again soon...

I'm not in the hospital, but I've been sick for the past week. Being ill has no effect on my being opinionated, in fact I came up with some more revelations on stuff: 1) that pneumonia really, really sucks. 2) staying in bed all day sounds good in theory, but it's boring as hell. 3) Side effects of medication could be as bad as whatever it's trying to cure. 4) I guess I do get a lot of cleaning done in this apartment (when I'm healthy)--my place has turned into a real dump since I got sick. UPDATE: Hey, my x-ray results came back; I don't have pneumonia! Yay! Turns out that I very likely have bronchitis instead. Luckily, the antibiotics work on both, and I'm getting better. Funny how you can take for granted the ability to breathe without difficulty, until you experience a few days without that ability.
