:(
I'm feeling a million things right now but I'll stay surface...I don't have a lot of time anyway.
I'm extremely upset right now actually. I just found out one of my best friends from home - Ashleigh (eric and me and crystal's ashleigh)- was struck by lightening yesterday afternoon. aparently she was leaving the dentist and it was storming and a giant lightening bolt hit a water puddle next to her, and it went through the ground and up through her body. She immediately went limp and fell backwards and rolled down a long hill into a creek behind the office complex. Her dad was with her and a little ways behind her when they were leaving, but he saw it and went running after her...and picked her up and ran back up the hill, like yelling and screaming. I guess there was a policeman really near so he came and had an emergency kit or something and used those "shockers" to try to bring her back to life - she wasn't breathing and had no pulse :( :( :( :( They FINALLY revived her and an ambulence came and brought her to the nearest hospital where she was then life flighted to Children's hospital. They had to somehow bring her body temperature down really low, but i guess when that happens your body is supposed to shake...and that's bad. So in order for it not to shake, they had to paralyze her :( Eric just called a bit ago and said that right now she's still in critical condition, and unconsious...but she can hear if people talk to her, and if you touch her, she can feel it. He said when she finally starts rustling around again though, they have to do the body temp/paralyzing thing AGAIN :( And then after that....theyre *hoping* she'll be okay. I'm seriously so worried. Like...i guess you never know how much someone means to you until something bad like this happens. I want to be there for her so bad. Eric is at the hospital and is going to go back tomorrow - and i think crystal is going to go w/him (she went home this weekend). Eric said her parents are WRECKS and it's just really intense and just like a "waiting period" now. It's all over the news and everything...ugh. Everyone said they'd call to update me and everything...i just really hope she's okay. ::Sigh:: I'm really scared.
On a lighter note...Ash, Phil and bobby are coming tonight. I guess theyre leaving around 5:15 and i'm guessing should be here by like...6:30. That'll be really nice. I'm looking forward to seeing all of them. And I really need some time w/Ashley. Crystal went home, as i said...so I'm really relieved. Not that she would mind or care about any of us...but it'll just be a lot better that way. I'm not quite sure what any of us are going to DO b/c clarion isn't exactly quality entertainment but...we'll find something. I can't wait till they get here.
Well I have to get my laundry out of the dryer and read some U.S Lit and shower and wait for everyone to arrive...
