So this is Christmas…
Been up since 5:30 — still have insomnia but some pain killers i was perscribed in the hospital got me zonked out for a few hours…
…I’m happy to report that Christmas hasn’t been terrible here, nor has it been outstanding either (having to watch my younger brother Andy’s girlfriend’s son Austin throw up wasn’t very fun)… But it’s had it’s ups and downs.
The most notable up just occured when I was talking with Mike and presented him with his 3rd and final christmas gift — www.tasteofescape.com. Now, you may have read earlier this month that I had no clue what to get Mike and that he was discouraging me from getting him anything… He seemed genuinely enthused by the gift and offer to host his journal in the future (sharing web space on here). Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to see him impressed with the gift.
Was there anything more groundbreaking or earth-shattering that Johnny recieved for X-mas? Well, besides clothes and a few material things, not really. I guess I was just looking forward to today more than the gift part of the day — the family part and the social stuff. Personally I would have loved to have gotten everyone in the fam. and my friends a few more things, but alas — this year it was impossible to pull that off on account of me being a gimp :tongue
I wanted to wish all a merry christmas. Got what I wanted from my parents, but it seems worthless seeing as I got a message from a friend of a friend. Hadn’t heard from her in two months, her friend was cleaning off the computer. Said he saw that she had saved our conversations and I had been leaving offlines. Wanted to let me know that she had been killed in a car accident two months ago. Ashley was 16. Same age as my sister and not much younger than my love.
Live by what you love
What better way to leave this earth
Than by what you love the most
She lived breathed and dreamed cars
And her life, so short so sweet
Ended within what she loved
Taken so soon
Lord , I cannot believe it’s true
Ashley… we will all miss you.
… 1987-2003.
