Day 22: Blood Tests and Silly Kids.

Hello and Welcome to my blog. :)

Ah, where to start.
Yesterday I went to a clinic and got some blood taken for a check-up. The doctor just called and informed me that there was, well, bad stuff. I'm not naming it for personal reasons. There's gonna be a lot of changes in my life from now on, and I'm probably gonna be taking medication. I'm probably overreacting, but the problem they found in my blood will get worse if I don't stop it. And trust me, it's gonna be a bitch to kill. Ha ha.

Anyway. Other then the blood tests, some stuff happened in my life yesterday. One of my friends, let's call her "Gretchen", had a fit and we've stopped talking. It was absolutely ridiculous. You know why she had a fit? Well, I'll tell you. I'm writing a story, it's one of the most precious things to me in the world. I was gonna ask two of my writer buddies to look at it and give me their opinion. I knew I could trust them to give me a impartial answer because they've trusted me with their stories before too, and they're all around good people.

 So "Gretchen" heard that I was going to ask them and was pissed because I didn't ask her. She started having a fit and saying things like "fuck friends! Especially the ones who think your opinions are dumb". That was her Gmail status. It was so stupid. I mean really? When she asked why she wasn't going to see the story I said "Because I need a impartial opinion." I bet she didn't even know what that meant...

 Then she blew up and started spewing all sorts of things that made no sense. She even tried to state a copyright claim on my character Jona. The only part of Jona she has ANYTHING to do with is the name. She didn't come up with her looks, personality, abilities, NOTHING. "Gretchen" wanted me to use
her version of Jona's background, and I said yes, but never added it because "Gretchen" is not her owner.

 All and all, I'm glad I don't have to deal with her dramatic, violent, narrow-visioned and perverse personality anymore. Honestly, I'm ready to move and get into the world, and find someone who can be my writer buddy.

 Even though the past two days have been bad, and even though the blood results will have a impact on my future, it's ok. Because now I'm free of old friends who have no interest in me, and can roam to find new ones. Even though it's a dark time, I have to remember that after the dark is dawn. And the dawn is coming! (Dark Knight Quote FTW!)
