There is no way to backdate entrys so far and I wanted to add in some things I had written on another journal site. Please forgive me if this post throws you off.

Too busy to write...too depressed to write...too much to write :: Friday, December 14th, 2001

So many things that keep you busy during the holiday season. So many excuses to keep you from doing the usual things you do. You know the things you need to do. Excuses like visitors, thanksgiving, driving back and forth from LA, and oh, stuff like spiraling into a dark depression.

Needless to say, the holidays should have nothing to do with it. After all, my family didn't even celebrate your traditional holidays like Easter and Christmas. We had our own with names like The Day of Atonement, The Night to be Much Remembered, and you can't forget The Feast of Tabernacles. They sound real jolly, don't they? We had a whole bunch of those different Feast of this and that. The only one that was any fun was the Tabernacle one. And even that involved going to church two times a day.

I think the combination of being exhaustingly upbeat about being unemployed for nearly six months is taking its toll. Maybe you have to let the negative take over sometimes just to have balance...
