I Lay Down in My Party Dress and Never Got Up

I think I might be ready to start blogging again. I don't know. I needed a little break to sort out how I was gonna do this whole thing. Life has been nuts since menno camp. Oh how I miss those mennos now!

So I'm home, and I'm at the Garden. That's a good thing. I'm doing my best to maintain a positive attitude with all the insanity. I also think that I'm just not going to blog when I'm in a funk because it really ends up just sounding dumb and making me feel worse. So I'll avoid that.

For those of you avidly tracking the progression of my crazy numbness, or as I like to call it... okay well I can't come up with anything brilliant. Maybe I should have a contest to name this affliction. Anyway, currently the left side of my torso is numb. Boob and all. It's been numb for just over two weeks now. Last Wednesday I went to the neurologist for test results. Basically he told me that the hospital thinks I have MS but he's not so sure. I have lesions on my brain and spinal chord, which is a sign of MS, but I also have holes in my root nerves which isn't characteristic of MS. So I still don't know. I just did blood work for B12 deficiency, lupus, calcium deficiency, and something else. I also did a chest xray for something that's related to TB. Yowza. I find out in three weeks what's going on (hopefully).

Okay, so for my 20th Birthday party I gathered up a bunch of friends and we went Black Tie Bowling. I have been trying to make this happen since grade twelve. It was really fun. I got to wear my prom dress and sparkles, and a duct tape flower in my hair, so I can't complain. Seventeen people showed up for bowling, so we filled three lanes. It was nice. Out of the ordinary anyway. And every single person who came to bowl dressed up, so I appreciated the fact that my friends are as insane as I am.

We also had a really nice pre-dinner dealy. Though there was a lack of eating. Ah well. I got an awesome Pope (WITH A STUPID HAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), some hot peacock feather earrings, and a Harry Potter notebook that has a wierd hollogram picture of Harry and the caption "Hold on ter yeh ticket Harry"... What? So yeah, it's pretty awesome.

I had a nice night. It was bizarre to end it off alone. I realized I haven't left a party night alone in forever. I'm always with the Box ladies or with Steve. In true depressive style I sat and watched What Not to Wear (I really feel that TLC is the most depressing I'm-wasting-my-life type channel to watch late at night) until 3am and then I went to sleep.

All in all it was a good night. I had fun, and I think the general reaction was one of goodness.
