The good news is that there is absolutely nothing left to write. The good news is that I am not suffering from depression. The good news is that I don't have to see Herr Doktor next week. The good news is that I can stop taking my medication now, since I am not depressed. The good news is that I don't give a crap. The good news is that I don't have to do an OUP internship just because I think it is a prestigious thing to do. Oxford University Press - ooooooooh. Maybe I'll keep bees in the Swat. Or learn how to weave khadda kapra. Or turn these 17 months into 17 years. Or - well, who gives a crap. The good news is that I no longer need to write in this bloody blog.

House-tree-person test Shrink lady gave me to do all three on one page and I got stuck with a ball point pen, no pencil. When I did them at home today on individual pages, they covered the entire A4 paper and were in crayon colour. The house was 3-D. I'm going to take a chance and show them to her next week. It's up to her whether or not she uses them. I always, always draw the same type of girl in the person drawing. The only difference is with/without ears and with/without boobs.

I've spent a measly 15 minutes on trying to figure out how to make my personalized template for this blog. That's all I can stand to spend. I'm such an impatient little bugger. On top of it all, I am such a confused and irritable piece of bubble wrap. Or porcupine fur. "You're not unipolar" Dare I say I am becoming accustomed/reliant on the weekly sessions with Herr Doktor? My mum cancelled my next week's meeting without consulting me because of her attending her bloody family meeting. Such a selfish little ___. So I ring the shrink today to get my appointment back, sans la mère. I don't even know why the lady insists that my mum come in the first place. She is always tired, never fully concentrates on what's being said, forgets it entirely as soon as she's paid the bill and it's not like there's any overt effect of the convos in our family life interactions. BLAH! So the shrink says I have misdiagnosed myself, or have been misdiagnosed...

... is still evil. (Some guy on Youtube) (The former title for this post was The Namesake, but after more information and contemplation, it wasn't the right one.) Hussein has won... the US Presidential election. Now what? I am sure damned GLAD McCain didn't win. Even though I can't bring myself to trust any person in the position of head of state. Alhamdulillah wa astakheerullah. Allah, he has the name of your beloved. Let him follow the footsteps of your beloved. Not all American politicians are bad, are they? Well, just admit he is the lesser of the two evils. That's all that I am willing to give him. The lesser of two evils. Compared to Yazid and Muawiya, he is Muawiya. Nice analogy. But was Yazid more dangerous than Muawiya or was Muawiya more sly? I forget. OK, maybe I need to come up with a better analogy.
