It's Been Awhile..

awful song, but in this case it is the truth!

Since I've typed last, this is what's went down in my life.

-Went to Bonnaroo Festival in June, during which I turned 20.
-Spent another summer interning at a certain morgue that will not be named.
-Had my two best friends move in together, which practically means I moved in too ;)
-Completed my first semester as a true English Major, and my GPA was a 3.9
-Had a very short relationship with a lovely man, but shit happens.


What I came here to write about started last Sunday, just as the Superbowl began. My mother became violently sick, so one of my brothers and I took her to the Emergency Room at a local hospital. Since I work at a morgue and my brother is a doctor, we were assuming the worst (a GI bleed) and consequently freaking the fuck out. Luckily, it turned out to be her gallbladder acting up. She got it removed, all is well, and she returns from the hospital tomorrow.
Now I consider my mother to be my best friend, and she is the most loving, funny, and strongest person I know. I have only seem my mother cry twice: once when my maternal grandmother died, and once during a really emotional episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Seeing my mother in such a fragile state was really hard to deal with. The woman has removed her own moles for Christ's sake! Time is rolling forward, one day she'll be gone, and there is absolutely nothing I can do to change that. It's overwhelming. I'm trying to find the right words to put here but I can only say this- even if she lives to celebrate her 200th birthday, I still won't be ready to say goodbye.

I am perfectly aware how unattractive this attachment would be if I were a man, haha.

Onwards to other stuff.

I would just like to commend a few celebrities for knowing when to quit. It's hard to do, but it honestly was the right decision. So thank you Dane Cook, Lucy Liu, Hootie (from the Blowfish?), and Chad Michael Murray. Maybe you can convince Kim fucking Kardashian from sticking her ugly mug everywhere I go. Yuck. What does she do? Can anyone tell me? Has she ever had a *real job?

I gotta get my butt back to kickboxing classes.... hospitals sell the most unhealthy food. This is what we get from a profit driven health care system. It'd be a little fishy if there was a diaper company that also made condoms. Just sayin'.
