On days like today, I miss my grandparents...both sets. I miss my cousins. I miss my sister. Pimento cheese, tomato sandwiches, sweet tea, a Jackson Mets game followed by fireworks.

Things can never be the same and you can only hold onto what is good.



This year, I'm cooking for just my parents. I won't even see my brother. My sister lives SO far away.


It has still been a good day, though. And I won't miss the fireworks.




Happy 4th of July to my American friends.

I kind of love this!!! At the same time, I'm kind of mad at myself for not having more entries! Lol! I'm working on that! <3

I can't believe LJ is 18, though. I feel a bit old!

So I made this forever ago cuz I knew I would go on hiatus at some point. Now is that time!!

I'll still be around on yahoo and msn today (well, until I leave for the bookstore)...but I'm leaving LJ until I'm done with the book. :)

I'll actually come back if you guys have things to discuss on my theory post...

So, Yesterday, I avoided all of the newscasts about Virginia Tech because I knew what they would do to me. But today, I didn't avoid them. I've been on the verge of tears all day again today. I realize now, my tears yesterday were just because I heard there was a shooting.

Even though I didn't know what happened, I still felt it. It still hurt.

I know exactly how it feels to have your friends shot at. I know exactly how it feels to not feel safe when you go to class. I know exactly how it feels to lose your innocence, your naiveté in thinking that you're invincible. And I do know that the pain never really goes away...it just gets a little easier to deal with.


But even though it seems to get easier, things like this happen and it brings it all back.


I've been crying for the past 3 or 4 hours.


Virginia Tech,
Right now, no words can make you feel better, make things easier, or make your friends come back. I just pray that the prayers of the nation will help in easing your pain...if only a little.
