Well, this morning was completely shitty...
A friend of mine who also happened to be my 6-8 grade teacher (I went to a very small private school from 1-8 grade) just plead no contest on three counts of indecency with a minor. Fuck. He just got fifteen years in prison for it. It still feels like a major kick to my vital organs.
I mean, this man has known my whole family for years, I was in one of the first classes he taught right out of collage, he's known my sister since she was 3 (she's now 18) I even worked with him for several months when the school needed a temporary secretary. Christ, just two months before the charges were first made I spent an hour teaching him how to play mah jong on a really slow day in the office when I was subbing!
I know that I can't know for certain whether or not he did what he was accused of because I was never with him 24-7-365, but still, if even one part of it is true... It just makes me sick thinking about it. A few friends of mine that had him a a teacher were undeniably shocked. He just didn't seem like the kind of person that would EVER be accused of something like this...
And on top of this, my sister's dance teacher from a year ago just got in trouble for having inappropriate relations with a football player, and one of her dear friends (a 19 boy) was accused of eliciting sex from a minor and filming it. Luckily it looks like the claims are false, and the kid's accuser, a 14 year old boy, is still trying to contact him despite a court order telling him not to.
God damn it why do these thing have to happen to people my family knows? Pisses me off something fierce.

Ok... I think I got that out of my system for now...
On a better note, I found out a lot of spoilerish things on some upcoming episodes of CSI. I'm acting like such a total fangirl right now, I actually am starting to convert my sis into a bit of one. *sigh* It is a good day when my sis is even a little as obsessed as I am about something. :)

So I'm feeling bipolar today... fuck off!
