But now we must pack up every piece of the life we used to love.
Leave me alone.
For you know this isn't the first time.
In fact this is twice in a row that the angels have slipped through our landslide and filled up our garden with snow.
And I don't wish to taste of your insides or to call out your name through my phone for the glory boys at your bedside will love you as long as you're something to own.

I went to see Wicked yesterday. It was good.
We went to this nice Mediterranean restaurant. The food was delicious.
I have an interview today. Wish me luck. I don't even know if I want the job but I need it.
I think that's it.
Call me.
I love you.

Jessica's sister made a xanga in memory of her. I wish I'd known the visit was Thursday. I would have gone.
I don't know why her death upsets me so much. I barely knew her.
I think it's the fact that I did know her. The fact that she graduated last year with us. It's the fact that one year ago, we were all happy that we were done with high school. And one year since then, we're all safe and sound, most of us are done with our first year at college.
Except her.
I wonder what she was thinking at that last second. Was it just "oh shit" or was she sad?
I can't think about the fact that thousands of people are going to drive past that intersection and not know. And not care that they don't know.

Jessica Klinesteker died in a car accident on Sunday. We graduated with her.
Did anyone else hear about this?
I took Hannah to her voice lesson today and Duiven mentioned it. I didn't recognize the name but I looked her up in the yearbook and immediately recognized her.
I knew her. Not best friends obviously, or even friends but I knew her at least.
Goodness.
CANNON TOWNSHIP -- An 18-year-old Grand Rapids Community College student was killed Sunday when police said she ran a stop sign at Myers Lake Avenue and Nine Mile Road NE.
Kent County Sheriff's Department said Jessica Klinesteker, of Rockford, was driving west on Nine Mile Road just before 1 p.m. when she failed to stop at the sign.
The driver of a car traveling south on Myers Lake Avenue, Kerri Southwick, 35, of Rockford, could not avoid the collision, police said.
Both cars ended up in a ditch.
Klinesteker, a 2005 graduate of Rockford High School, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Southwick was not injured, but her mother, Mari Anne Parker, 57, was transported to Spectrum Butterworth Campus to be treated for neck pain.
Police blocked the road several hours during their investigation of the accident.
Kent County Sheriff's Deputy Keith Kazelskis said police don't know why Klinesteker drove through the intersection.
"There were no skid marks," Kazelskis said. "She never slowed."
Relatives told police she was on her way to a graduation party when she apparently missed her turn and continued through the intersection.
Klinesteker's family was too distraught to talk Sunday. An uncle who didn't give his name said, "We love her very much, and we miss her."
Rockford High School Assistant Principal Steve Lewis said, "The Rockford High School community is certainly feeling the loss. We've had numerous accidents over the years and it certainly doesn't get any easier."
Norma Kuzma, who lives near the intersection said the area used to be rural. Suburban sprawl, including a new subdivision nearby, has brought traffic -- and accidents.
Higher traffic and speeds make for a dangerous intersection, she said.
"It was just waiting to happen," Kuzma said.
Kuzma's grandson, Cody Kiatkowski, 10, said he had just gone out to play basketball Sunday afternoon when he heard the crash about 100 yards from the house.
"It was very loud. I ran inside and told my grandma to call 911," he said.

My sister started playing FFVIII again. Which means I'm hooked, again.
So I'll have to add that to my list of games to beat this summer. I still haven't beaten it, after all these years.
It's still my favorite.
Games to beat this summer:
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (again)
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Final Fantasy VIII
Paper Mario (the first and second ones)
I think that's it.
I love you all.

Two years ago today, I took the ACT for what would turn out to be the first of three tries. The night before, I stayed up late talking to Nick about pretty much nothing. We somehow got around to talking about how we both still liked each other and maybe we should try again.
So we did.
Two years ago today, I was at Ben's house with both him and Nicholas, playing video games and lying around like we always did at Ben's house.
Anyway, today marks two years of being with Nicholas and I'd love to reminisce but Nick wants to jump on the bed with me.
I love you all.

Kurt Vonnegut was on BCC World News' World Book Club (The Word) on NPR at 2:30 this morning.
He was hilarious.
You can listen to it here.
You should check it out. He talks about Slaughterhouse 5.

My boss has skin cancer. She says it's the good kind. So does the internet.
So hopefully it'll be okay. I hope so. She deserves better than being screwed over repeatedly.
I love you all.
P.S. France looks hopeless. I'd love to talk more about it but I just feel like crying. I want to go home and play KH2 and cry. I'm at work, waiting to go make copies.
P.P.S. I'm bored with my hair already. I want it longer again.

Unless I get $421.26 by Wednesday, I cannot go to France.
Any hugs would be appreciated.

I'm doomed.
I heard this on BBC World News last night/this morning:
"New research suggests that a diet high in dairy products can greatly increase a woman's chances of having twins.
A study in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine showed milk drinkers were five times more likely to have twins than women who ate no animal products.
The numbers of twins in the world has increased significantly in the past 30 years, in some countries by over 50%.
Scientists have suggested fertility treatments and women delaying pregnancy can help explain the rise.
But this new research indicates that diet can also play an important part.
Ovaries stimulated
In the study, the twinning rates of women who ate a diet including milk were compared with women who followed a vegan, or no animal products diet.
It is believed that a protein found in the livers of animals may be the cause. Called Insulin-like Growth Factor or IGF, it is found in cow's milk and other animal products.
In women it makes the ovaries more sensitive and increases the number of eggs produced. Higher levels of IGF improve the survival chances of an embryo in the early stages of development.
The effect is likely to be greater in countries such as the United States that allow growth hormones to be fed to cattle.
The researcher behind this study says that women thinking of getting pregnant might consider alternatives to meat and dairy products to reduce their chances of having twins, as multiple births are more prone to complications."

I hear that our zoo is going to have a stingray exhibit starting on Saturday in which you can pet the stingrays and stuff.
The kite festival is on Saturday in Grand Haven and I hear that they will have glow-in-the-dark kites at night. I would love to do that also.
So those are my plans for the weekend. If you want in on any of them, feel free to call.
I love you all.
