Life
Well, I guess this is what I get for not writing in so long: a crap-ton to write about. I thought a while as to whether i should start this entry with the good or the bad that has happened in the past couple of days.
I figure its better to start with the good.
And there is indeed plenty of good! I started working at Price Chopper, its going great, I love working in the deli, its about 80 times better than Panera and it pays better too! Yay. I've been working with Buddy and Debra as of lately, which is tons of fun. Ive only sort of known Buddy through other people, but after working with him for like a week and a half, it seems like we've been friends for a while, haha.
Let's see, well my birthday came and went obviously. I don't know why, maybe because Independence Day was on a Wednesday and not a weekend this year, or just because my dad is lazy, it was really low key this year. Which is good, that's how I like it. As low key as it can get. My dad made two cheesecakes because he forgot to put sour cream in one, and then my mom made one too. Ahh! Cheesecake! All in all it was fun. I met my bro's girlfriend, who seems pretty cool. Thad sprained his ankle so now hes on crutches. I hope we'll get to hang, as Lord knows he'll have tons of time on his hands what with not being able to go anywhere without crutches.
Friday, which was yesterday, was great. I had a bunch of people over my moms, too many to bother listing here, and we played guitar hero, Donkey Konga, picture-tele-nary, and then ate maxs pizza and tons of junk. My basement is getting awesome-er what with my Awesome Wall returning from the dead and a new tv (finally!).
I got a kitten! He's an orange tabby and his name is Rice Krispies. I'm going to miss him to death when i go to school, but frankly ive never gone so long without a cat and I couldn't take it any longer. He'll be fine, he's staying at my moms, not my Dad's house which is apparently synonymous with 'death for cats.' Props to Kiera for hooking me up with this cat!
On a more negative note, and also the main reason why I haven't update my LJ in so long, is some news I received almost two weeks ago.
I couldnt write an entry without mentioning it, and well, i didn't want to write about it.
Early Monday morning, June 25th, Emily Gentholts died in a car accident on her way back home from a frisbee tourney when the car she was travelling in was hit by a car that was swerving to avoid a deer in the road. Emily was a girl I played frisbee with back at college, on the Ultimate team. Some of you might remember me mentioning how i played Ultimate in the fall before Track season started up. We weren't best friends or anythings, but definitely strong acquaintances. She was the kind of girl who was always approachable at practice and you would always say Hi to when you ran into her around campus, and she was always inviting me to frisbee stuff in the Spring when I had to put Ultimate on the back burner. She really was just a terrific person, and I liked being on the team with her.
Quite simply, her death kind of hit me in a weird place. Its hard because im really detached. I mean, everyone i know who knew her is halfway across the country, and so ive only heard about the whole ordeal through email, text messages, and eventually the obligatory facebook group. Before this entry I only told two of my friends here in Bristol. And only one of my close friends from school played Frisbee with me, so I can't even really talk to the whole 3A crew about this. Meanwhile, I don't feel like I have any right to go about bugging other Frisbee players who knew her more than I the former freshman ever could. I feel like im too detached to get emotionally upset about this whole thing but at the same time, here I am, venting to the internet. I think what I really need to do is just talk about her, who she was and I what i remember of her. She was an awesome person.
Anyways, I know i wont be able to get closure til i Go back to school. This fall they are going to have a vigil for her on campus.
Obviously, I haven't really been letting it get to me. I mean, im not skulking around or anything. But its still on my mind. And just like when my friend committed suicide during my High School Junior year, I don't know how long it will take for it to get out of my mind.
