Be careful... I'll seduce you with my awkwardness.

Today was a pretty rough day for everyone. Let me start from the beginning…

Exactly one year ago today, we lost a dear friend. He was in a parking lot and someone came up and took him away from us…  

Over the year, we all faced so much pain and heartache because he was no longer with us. We had to rely on one another for support. Friendships grew stronger, enemies made amends, and there was a brief moment of peace. 

It’s just so odd that life moved on…

It’s even weirder that 2011 ended so fast. It was gone so quickly…

This weekend we did a few things.

Saturday, friends and family gathered and let balloons go at the lake in memory. Just as last year, we brought red glitter and assaulted everyone with it. Glitter is the herpes of the craft world, so it is hard to get off. I’m gonna be finding it for months. At the lake, we also sang “Don’t stop Believin’” since that was a favorite as well as “Photograph” by Nickelback too.  We all departed and went our seperate ways.

Today, we began by going to the gravestone. We poured glitter there on his grave too. Then, we all went off to Mike’s favorite eating place. Hibachi Grill. No matter what, whenever you said the “H” word, he had to go. It was his rule. So we go there for special occasions. 
After dinner, we took $20 worth of red glitter to the spot where we lost him. We threw it all over that part of the parking lot. I have never been to that parking lot before. And the emotions I felt in that moment were just a lot to bear. I stayed strong though. I didn’t shed too many tears today. At the end of the night, we retired to Devon’s house and played some Magic for old times sake… Then we all departed since it was a schoolnight.

It’s been a rough week and weekend, but we all made it. I’m not going to say any more of my thoughts on this since it may cause more harm for me and my friends. I’ve held together pretty well, but I’m already tearing from this post..

Treasure and cherish everyone. Be generous with your friendships. And most importantly, “be good”.

I love you all. All my friends. All my followers. I don’t care if I really know you or not, you’re still a friend of mine. <3

Goodnight everyone. <3
