one massive update
So, it seems like everytime I want to update this thing, I always end up sidetracked… then it’s a couple weeks after the fact, so here is a big update…
My sister’s wedding was very nice… the ceremony and everything went off fine, even though much sleep was lost right beforehand in all the last minute preparations. Overall it was tiring, however, I know my sister was very pleased with everything, which is the important thing. I ran around the entire day doing so many tasks from setting up, taking pictures, wrangling my nieces into place, to helping cut the cake for guests, etc, etc. Everyone said I looked very nice in my dress, and I think even some distant family/ friends of the family were a little surprised at seeing me all dressed up. Though for all of you out there that want to see a picture (since you seem to not believe that I do dress up occasionally, and clean up rather nicely I might add) hit me up over aim, and I’ll send you the link to see it. I was very happy when the wedding was over because I could finally take a break… thankfully, I got to take a nap before going to see the second Pirates movie. The whole craziness surrounding a wedding, seriously makes me consider just eloping if I ever reach the altar.
After the wedding, there was catching up on sleep and work and other usual busyness for a couple of weeks, but then I got some bad news. I found out Big Ben decided that life was just too much and decided to exit early. I went to high school with him (even though he was three years behind me), but then befriended him again at anime conventions. I remember him greeting me with a hug, saying I looked like someone who could use one, and I told him that I loved hugs, so how could I say no. We talked for awhile standing outside, and finally figured out why each of us looked so familiar because we used to go to the same school, then laughed at how small the word is sometimes. After that, I would get a hug anytime I saw the crazy 6’7’’ Jew at cons. He seriously could lighten anyone’s day. Ben, you will be sorely missed by many, many people. I know it’s going to take me awhile to not look for him looming over everyone in the hallway. I still don’t think it’s completely sunk in… even at the funeral it all felt so surreal. Since Cowboy Bebop was one of the first anime we ever discussed… I know my night sky is missing one of its stars. I hope you have found a rockin party and some peace wherever you are now.
In other news, I am still behind on my work for grad school and my thesis… I think this is going to be a continuing trend. Overall, life has had its rough spots recently, but I am still moving forward and doing alright. Also, apologies to all my friends if I have seemed distant for the last several days… it’s just the way I cope, but I should be almost back to normal now, and thanks for everything. ::hugs everyone::
