My whole life I have been infected with 'when it rains it pours' syndrome.
This usually has been a shitty fact of life that I try to deal with.

In May, I got dumped in a pretty horrific fashion, graduated from college, moved back in with my parents (who live in the middle of the woods far from anyone i know), have taken up some stressful part time jobs, and went to the hospital (which later resulted in a multitude of tests, medication that makes me sick, and having to pay for health insurance). I'm leaving out the little things that really do add up, trust me i'm an expert.

Well, when you have this syndrome, the one up-side is that usually things will turn around for you one day. Maybe one day it is just really nice outside and you don't feel so miserable. Maybe a guy you have a crush on tells you that you have the nicest ass he's ever seen. maybe you discover a new hobby that makes you really really happy. Then you have a fun halloween weekend with your best friends, and after an afternoon where everything you cooked (lentils and squash with goat cheese and pumpkin bread pudding, thank you smittenkitchen) turns out just perfect you get an email saying that you got that real job you interviewed for. The job where you get to do something productive in society and feel worth-while.

Maybe i'm pre-disposed, but it seems that i experience high highs and low lows. I'm just pretty dam happy that after what feels like forever, i'm starting to reach the good parts again.
