Josh - you're lucky I love you enough to not do exactly what you think I would do when I heard about this.

So, let me know if you need anything. I've uh.. been through the legal system a few times, so I might be able to give advice or ease your worries about some of it.

The most important thing to remember is everything will work itself out; it will just occupy a bunch of your time and energy. As lame as it sounds: stay positive.

thanks for your concern. i've been trying to stay as positive as i possibly can. spending a nite in jail has seriously effed my emotions up. it was the worst sickness i have ever felt, being in there and not knowing what was going to happen to me. i was scared like i had never been before. i'm not sure what is going to happen in the court. i havent even recieved a date yet, but im definitely seeking representation. i was treated really shitty and its a long story filled with plenty of horrible details.

im not letting myself get too negative about it. not so much that i will do anything negative to myself or act like a smart ass if i go to court. im just thinking that this is my first offense, its the silliest thing to ever get in trouble for and that i wont go to jail again. hopefully i'll just get fined or community service. actually, i hope i dont get anything!

i'm dead

thanks for the nice words. i need as much of that as possible. i just dont want an effing felony on my record for this, nor do i want to go to jail again. both of those would ruin my life. felony = many opportunities taken away from me such as: no student loans, no voting, no renting apt on my own, no becoming a teacher, etc. jail = my personality being destroyed, my emotions destroyed, me being raped, me ending my life. its alot to think about losing out on. oh well, hopefully ill be fine.

Woah woah woah there hang on buddy. You are NOT allowed to be meaner to yourself than I am to you. I hope you'll get out of it in one piece with even more personality, if you even have room for more in addition to what you've already got.

And what took me so long to find your livejournal? I though I was so internet-savvy...
