BEST WEEKEND EVER!

I fractured my ankle WALKING in harvard square.... FUCK YOU HARVARD! But a nice boy named Taylor helped me to the hospitol where I proceeded to wait in a wheel chair, for 4 hours for xrays, and a damn splint. Oh yea, and aluminum crutches... at least they didn't give me a cane...  NOW, im out $50 bucks with a busted leg right before snowboarding season starts. FAAAAAN-fucking- TASTIC.

Also, I've noticed that NOONE around campus has crutches. NO ONE. No one's ever injured. We're just so damn tough.. haha well now i'll stand out. Yes everyone, i can now be the chinese bitch on crutches. sweet.

Ohwell, at least now i have a nice juicy perscription for some percocets. yum...

ohwell, time to go hobble around trying to act normal.

I'm seriously SICK of this year already...

People are so useless sometimes, and yet, i still haven't learned to just not expect a thing out of  some people, not even sympathy. And people don't listen anymore, everyone's just so busy trying to make themselves heard that they don't even hear you saying that you agree with them. UGH. I'm not going to lie, I've done it, maybe more than I realize, but at least I try to stop being that annoying self-centered asshole and try to solve other people's problems and to emphathize with them. But the longer I do that, the more I realize that my efforts are never going to be reciprocated, even by those who are friends.

This year I went in not really caring about other people's problems, but as always, their shit ends up being dumped on MY doorstep, and this time, trying to save my own ass may make ME out to be the douche. but honestly, whatever trouble people got themselves into this time, their just going to have to suffer the consequences alone. I'm done taking blame, I'll do what I can for the people who matter, but this is too far over the line and I have to watch my back for my own good, not for anyone elses. It's time for some people to take responsibility for once in their lives.
