life certainly takes some interesting turns. for instance, i have decided to stop writing properly in these things, so no more capitals and whatnot. this particular development isn't anything life changing, but i felt compelled to explain my lack of proper syntax. i also found out last monday that i have type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent). now there's a life changing event. i tell you. people say i'm taking it very well. i tell them all i'm still in denial. if you find me crying unexpectedly in the next while, please give me a pat on the back or perhaps a hug and move on. i'll be fine. i hope. but at least now i will never have to wait in emergency rooms. i will also be able to tell you how many grams of carbs practically anything has after a while. a small muffin for example has 15. i can also see now. it's wonderful being able to see, but a little worrysome as i started needing glasses around grade 7 so my glucose had been on the rise for quite some time. i'm also terrified of going low (low blood sugar). so terrified in fact that when my glucose level is normal i get worried. normal by the way is between 4 and 7 mmol/L. on monday morning mine was 37.2 which is WAY off the entire scale. i'm also not entirely sure where this is going, but who reads this anyway? me i suppose. who does read this? no one i imagine seeing as you can't search for blogs or anything. my i'm being bombarded by msn messages at the moment. i should also e mail brendan. haven't done that for a while. i haven't talked to him period for a while. perhaps i will go and do that now. wouldn't that be interesting if he somehow read this. well i suppose i shall leave you at this.
