I haven't written in a very long time. Perhaps I feel like I haven't needed to, but more likely it's that I haven't really felt like what's going on in my life was meant for the public eye. Or, perhaps more accurately, I didn't know how to make it appropriate for the public eye. As it is, I am much, much more relaxed, much less emotional than I ( Read more... )

You know, it seems very strange to me that I really am "moving on," as best I can, anyway. Life HAS "gotten back to normal." And it's not even yet been a month...Anyway, I still look forward to getting home, being with my family.

Is it stupid that it bothers me so much that none of my friends ever gave me a hug in the past week? Or is it just silly? I mean, everyone has been talking about how amazing it is that Tech and the community has pulled together like it has. But I don't feel that at all.

I don't want to talk to him. He called twice while I was at riding, and I have no desire to return his calls. And that has nothing to do with the fact that I know he's flying. I really actually don't want to talk to anyone. the people who are supposed to have cared the most about me have abandoned me, then I think I just want to keep it that way ( Read more... )

The bastard did it. He put his name in for the deployment for the desert. I thought he would have realized that now, after 32 of my fellow Hokies are dead, is the time when I need to see him the most, to spend the most time with him. Instead, he runs off to the fucking desert. Instead, all he cares about is being a fucking hero. He's such a ( Read more... )

Lately I've been crying myself to sleep a lot. I've felt so deprived of love that I have to have dreams about waking up in the hospital and being surrounded by my friends to remember that they love me. Only sometimes, in my dream, I wake up and there's no one there ( Read more... )
