Seriously, I have cured myself. I see less sunlight now then any other winter ever (due to my nocturnalism) and I am
not depressed. My secret? Vitamin D! No really, I started taking vitamin D supplements a couple months ago and boom, no unwarranted depression.
So this year, instead of the usual depression caused by my self diagnosed seasonal affect disorder, I will have some depression caused by life just plain sucking.

Because, my life just plain sucks right now.
-I can't manage to work up enough motivation to study for the test that determines the rest of my professional life. 9 days left to study.
-I live with an immature harpy who can only talk about herself, even while asking about me (the only time she has asked about me in the entire year we have been living together).
-I have no boyfriend and my list of sexual partners has now exceeded my age.
-My hair is just plain weird.
-I feel old.
-I can't quit smoking.
-I finally lose a whole bunch of weight and start to feel slightly comfortable in my own body and my older and always thinner (not just thinnER but actually thin) sister has to go and lose some weight too. Now she's not just thin but she's skinny. I go from a size 18 (and I mean old navy 18 which is like a size 20 in normal stores) to a 12 (normal store 12) and she has to go to a fucking size 2. I think she was a 6 before? Who cares, point is, it was finally my turn to shine and she ruined it.
She has always been the smarter skinnyer prettier less awkward more badass one.
She did better on her SATs,
she graduated college on time,
she never had to pay for damages that her friends caused to our apartment building,
she works for the fucking U.N. and I am trying to be a nurse.
She doesn't have the life sucking chronic disease and her best friend never died in a bike accident. Which brings me to my next point,
My best friend is still dead. The one true best friend who I never drifted from and never had problems with. It's been over a year and I still cannot really accept that she is dead.
Life sucks and I am tired of it. Shit man, I haven't even reached the hard part of life when I have to worry about money and mortgages and children and what not. My life sucks when everything is done for me.
Whine whine blah blah put it on a bumper sticker.
And I hate hate HATE
HATE that all of this woe

and self pity started all because some stupid boy stood me up. I hate being a cliche and I hate being predictable and I hate that I can somehow relate every episode of Sex and the City to my life at the moment. Sex and the City is like some ambiguous horoscope that always fits something going on. A guy doesn't want to have sex right away because "I don't want to mess this up" (his words) right before I see the episode where Aiden doesn't sleep with Carrie right away. Then I see the episodes where Carrie cheats on Aiden with Mr. Big right as I am starting to get the feeling that this boy keeps standing me up because he's actually married (doesn't help that my parents keep reminding me that "cops are notorious players."<--My mom's actual words. Since when do moms use the word "player"?).
BAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!! I am so fucking frustrated!
