Well, I got back in touch with a girl that I was talking to online.

THis girl I was talking to through the personals site, gave me an Instant Message address in one of her emails. I tried emailing her through the site and it wouldn't let me do it all the sudden. So I out of the blue decided to sift through my emails from her and found the IM address and probably figured that it may have been an email address too. So I tried sending her an email with that address typed in. It went through and I got a response. So who knows. I am concerned about my situation. I need to push to rebuild my life and my image.

On another note, I was reading an article about Bush. A part about how he did not even earn anything he ever achieved really caught me. I am pissed about the way I was treated in regards to my teaching certificate and about this piss poor job market, but now for the positives. I earned my math degree. Not an easy degree by any standard. I earned my Eagle Scout. I earned every ounce of respect I had ever gotten. I have been filling out my grad school application tonight and I feel like I deserve that. People cannot take that away from me. I felt that I needed to post a bit about self-empowerment considering my depressive episode. To conclude: It could be worse. I could be Bush.

1. I Know What You Mean

About needing a push in your life. Me too. Just be careful about who you meet on the internet.

2. i met mrs. unblock on the internet

it can and does work out.

then again, i did have to get past a few losers, including a heroin addict, before i met 'the one'. nevertheless, even the dates that didn't work out were fun. just not what i was looking for.

just move slowly, start with emails->messaging->phonecalls->1st meeting for a brief period at a safe, public location, etc.

and good luck!
