To Write Love On Her Arms
So I celebrated my Friday the 13th by staying at home, because one of our kitties, Louie, disappeared. He apparently went missing around 10:30 am Friday morning, when my Dad remembers he had left him in the garage overnight, and thought he got out when my Mom left. Well it turns out he actually stayed in the garage the entire time, and I got him out. During the time in which he was gone I had went and participated in the TWLOHA event by writing in permanent marker a big "LOVE" on my right forearm, and I thought about Louie as I was doing it. I had actually planned on going out to a RPing game tonight, and showing & telling them all about it, cuz they're the kind of kids that would have TOTALLY loved it, and done it with me, but instead I stayed home, checking every hour or so for Louie to show back up.
For those of you who don't know, check out the Wiki page for it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Write_Love_on_Her_Arms). The issues it deals with, addiction, self harm, depression, and suicide all ring very true to me, and hit close to home. For some of those, I would have to say last night was a very big test, and I passed. Not quite sure how to properly write & convey all of the thoughts and emotions i'm having right now, so I won't try. I'll just end this for once, instead of going on and on, by saying...
I love you guys.

Love & Peace,
