I forgot how close 6 in the morning was to 7. They're neighbors, for heaven's sake.

The British crack me up.

"If someone is sulking or being particularly miserable you would say they are being stroppy or that they have a strop on. I heard an old man on the train tell his wife to stop being a stroppy cow."

It's raining.

Actually, it's thunderstorming.

I have to work later and I don't really feel like driving in this but I have to.

I start my second job on Monday. Well, that's when I start training. I don't know if I can get over my stupid pride for long enough to deal with the fact that I need this job.

I hate driving in the rain.

I love you all.

P.S. I hope you're doing well.

P.P.S. My sister and I watched a movie called The Heiress yesterday. I loved it. It's one of my favorite movies now.

Got the job.

Loves.

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.
