            <description>    &lt;p&gt;right now i&amp;#39;m at an extreme point of happiness. everything is almost almost&amp;#160;perfect. it doesn&amp;#39;t have to be entirely perfect, just almost. and it&amp;#39;s almost there. ya follow? lol. my grades are better than ever. 2 B&amp;#39;s, 2 A&amp;#39;s, 1 C, 1 D. i just need to get those last two up a bit and keep them that way and i&amp;#39;m home free. then i&amp;#39;ll have the rest of my life back. currently, i&amp;#39;ve just got work, school, and sometimes i get to spend time with josh. the parts i&amp;#39;m missing are church, friends, and the rest of my time with josh. speaking of josh, our relationship is great. i really do love that boy. today&amp;#39;s a half day at school, so we&amp;#39;re gonna spend the afternoon hanging out at my house. shall be fun! :] this just feels almost foreign, this happiness. i love it, but it&amp;#39;s just not something i&amp;#39;m used to. i&amp;#39;m used to being pushed around, crowded out, and lost in a sea of depression. i&amp;#39;m sure my psych would say my prozac is kicking in, but no, that&amp;#39;s not it. it wouldn&amp;#39;t just start working randomly after two years of ineffective use. this is just life going well. :] &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;i&amp;#39;m almost in a daze of happiness. everything&amp;#39;s going pretty well. me and josh are doing better. everything was kinda rocky for a couple days, but we&amp;#39;re ok now. and i had some issues with friends that are getting better too. and the best part, i stood up for myself! i cussed out that bitch. she thinks she can tread on me and attept to make my life a living hell, but she can&amp;#39;t. i have many ways to succeed in making her life hell, but i don&amp;#39;t. but if she doesn&amp;#39;t stop, i will. beasley was proud of me for standing up to her. she tried to say that beasley was saying stuff about me, but i knew better than that. beasley is my best buddy through and through. he would never do anything to hurt me. and that&amp;#39;s where i drew the line and got in her face. i told bease about it and he was like &amp;quot;yeah!&amp;quot;. lol. everything in life was kinda suckish for a while, but it got better when i realized that i&amp;#39;ve got some pretty amazing people in my life. i&amp;#39;ve got an amazing boyfriend who would do anything for me [josh], a best buddy who stands up for me and who&amp;#39;s always there for me in my time of need [beasley], a best friend who i can talk to, although she covers her ears and does the whole &amp;quot;lalalalala. i can&amp;#39;t hear you.&amp;quot; thing when i get into the details she doesn&amp;#39;t want to hear [mo], and some other amazing friends too. i used to always think i was alone, but i&amp;#39;m not. josh tends to think that he&amp;#39;s a loner and he&amp;#39;s always been on his own, but when he does that i correct him, i say &amp;quot;no your not, honey, i&amp;#39;m here for you, and i always will be.&amp;quot; right now i feel pretty freakin&amp;#39; fantabulous. and i think i like it.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;
