junkies

been loading up on vitamin c.
hopefully that will help me fight the infection!

anyway we are going to bake cooookies tmr!
oatmeal and chocolate (again) but this time with martini girl :)

and new tagboard..using an old configuration (thus the msgs from 2005)
feel free to leave msgs!..

and now. it's the time of the year where we experience renting blues.
apparently the rent IS going to increase. argh. why!??!
not sure of the future plans yet... but yeah i like living with martini girl and jess.
even when we have 2 rabbits in the living room. te he he. maybe i should get my own pet? hmmm. vic reckons i will torture it and leave it to die and decompose. -.-" so annoying.

anyway we attended this drug&alcohol clinic this afternoon. and we had the pleasure of speaking to this patient who was on a detox program for heroin. this patient was only 18 years old! and he started drugs when he was 15... but i guess the point is not how much drugs he has taken but rather the fact that he is determined to quit, go get an apprenticeship in building, and start a new life.

sometimes i think people always focus on the fact that they are junkies (drug addicts) and never really provide them the opportunity to prove themselves otherwise. a drug addict's life is really quite pitiful and sad. a large proportion of them suffer from anxiety disorders and depression. they often go hungry and lonely. they never really have the chance to build real relationships with other people. there is no stability in their daily routine. so i think clinics like the one i attended today are a very positive thing for them. go clinics! :)

anyway. it's late. i should stop rambling.
good night world.
