sometimes the universe really blows
On Thursday I found out that my really good friend Alex (from grad school) was killed by a drunk driver in Colorado on his way out to Los Angeles. The place he'd been trying to get to for years. Its just so weird. We'd been talking about his grand road trip to LA to be a comedy writer all semester.
And I know that I only knew him 9 months, but I was really close to my sequence and even closer to the TAs.
On top of that, Alex was in almost every one of my classes....and we worked on two huge projects together all semester...and we hung out all the time. We bonded over our love of Tina Fey and TV in general. We co-produced a web show together and we wrote a 30 Rock Script together for Comedy Writing. We commiserated about love problems and played Rock Band and got drunk together and he always made me laugh. And I made him laugh, which I think was even better. He was the only one who thoroughly enjoyed my weird made up dances and I was the only one who thought his "Who Wants To Be Dentist" joke was hilarious.
He always made me feel better...he always assured me I'd do great things...and he always let me know how awesome he thought I was. He was one of the greatest people I've ever met, and I'm so incredibly depressed and angry and confused as to why he was taken away right when he was about to start living out his dream. Fucking A.
