I'd wish my Jewish friends a Happy Passover too, but I don't even know if it's still going on. Haha. Um, so if it is, Happy Passover! Way to get rid of those sins!
hahaha. It goes on for 8 days (and nights), so it's defintely still going on. And the "getting ride of sins" holiday is Yom Kippur-- "Day of Atonement." This one is just to remember what the people had to go through when they left Europe, has nothing to do with sins. (Giving up bread and stuff is just to empathize with the exodus-ers.) How cute you are! Anyway, I dont celebrate or recognize it (bagel and butter with coke at breakfast today, yo!), but thanks for the sentiment.
I just found out 2 people that I am sort of by-proxy close to (one of Patrick's good friend's brother, and the fiance of Patrick's favorite brother) are bipolar. The Brother was just recently diagnosed, because he's been manic the last 3 weeks. Totally out of his gourd, crazy. Like coming out to people that he is gay, when he isnt. Or maybe he is, but it was still strange. Anyway, his family just put him in the mental ward, which is tough because it means he had to drop out of school this semester (with just a few weeks left) and since he is manic, he totally doesnt think he has a problem, so its bad for him.
The fiance I love. They are set to marry in May, and she has been skipping her medication and having wedding worries (nothing to do with Sean-- they've lived together for years, I think just Wedding worries and Future worries), so she's been mental a bit lately, too. P says it isnt negatively affecting her and Sean's relationship, and wedding invitations havent been sent out yet, so I think she'll end up fine.
Anyway, it just made me think of you. Weird how all the online bipolar people I know (your mom, Nehallania, and Lofty Expert) are doing SO SO SO terribly (uhh, your mom; homelessness; new mental hospital), and just recently 2 people pretty close to P are having problems, too. Its especially strange, to me, because this is the time of year when S.A.D. stops being so bad because the weather is so much better. Uhh. I really didnt have a point in telling you all that. And now I am totally typed out, so I dont know if I will even write the entry that I've been meaning to write since TUESDAY. Tuesday, people.
