make a wish
Nov. 20th, 2001 11:11 amI have a doctor's appointment today. Ugh. I was much better about going for awhile, but that was back when I was going 2-3 times a month, so it became a habit. That was also back when my insurance was paying for it.
Don't you mean, UNsurance?
Yes, Lisa, unsurance.
At least I've been taking my cholesterol medication. I predict he'll ask me some questions about any changes, make me drop my pants, lift my shirt, tell me to keep losing weight, then have Millie draw about 3 vials of blood. He'll probably ask when I'm going to get surgery. I'll probably lie and say, yes, I am exercising regularly. I guess I should also tell him about the bleeding last week. I wonder if he'll change my dosage again. Though he can't go any lower, and my mood shifts aren't usually as dramatic when my dosage goes up. I'm also going to not eat anything today, so that when my blood is drawn perhaps I can prove that I do have blood sugar issues. Of course, this is assuming I don't faint on my way to the office.
Damon is coming over tonight to hang out. Maybe my other video game will come in the UPS today. It would have been here last Friday but it was mis-shipped and ended up in Missouri.
I'm so completely mentally exhausted. It's nearly ridiculous.

this explains a lot.
Nov. 20th, 2001 01:56 pmI am so angry right now. Our apartment buzzer has been broken for over a week and THAT is why we have not received any mail. Fcking post office -- couldn't they leave a note or something, saying that they're trying to deliver something and can't? That's what they do for fcking packages. And fcking management company -- why the fck don't they fix the door? And why the fck does the postal worker have to buzz in?? Why don't they have a key? This explains why 2-3 times a week we'll get no mail, and on other days have so much it's spilling out.
this is frightening.
Nov. 20th, 2001 02:04 pmAppeal in pornographic journal case

Nov. 20, 2001 | COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) --
A man imprisoned for writing fantasies in his journal about torturing and molesting children has appealed a judge's ruling that upheld his guilty plea.
American Civil Liberties Union attorneys representing Brian Dalton, 22, want an Ohio appeals court to allow Dalton to withdraw his guilty plea on a charge of pandering obscenity involving a minor.
Last month, a Franklin County Common Pleas judge upheld a September ruling that Dalton could not change his plea.
The ACLU had asked the judge to reconsider, arguing that Dalton received bad legal advice from his attorney during the July 3 plea.
Dalton was charged after his mother discovered his journal and gave it to authorities. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, which included three years for violating probation from a 1998 pandering conviction involving pornographic photographs of children.
The case has alarmed First Amendment experts, who believe Dalton is the first person in the United States successfully prosecuted for child pornography that involved writings, not images.

I guess everyone should be careful of what they write in their livejournal, at least if you're in Ohio. I always knew that state was a circle of hell.
