It feels like Friday. I really could not get myself out of bed this morning. yesterday felt even more like friday. And today was more like saturday when I was trying to wake up. But now it feels like Friday. IT'S A WEEK OF FRIDAYS!!!!! I'M GOING CRAAAAAZZZZZZZZY!!!!
So yesterday we went to the wake for Maressa's mom... it was really quite sad. I felt so bad for her... she had to stand there while all these people lined up to hug her with her mom... or some wax rendition of her mom lay in a coffin 10 feet away. For 3 hours!!! She held together really well... I really admire her. I know she cried a bit, but altogether she's keeping it together in public for the most part. I don't know how she does it. I really don't.
First time I've ever seen a dead body. Really, it wasn't that bad. Having a dead person in front of me was not in the least upsetting. What was upsetting was how the fact that that person was dead was affecting others. I think it didn't bother me because it didn't look real. It looked like someone had covered her face over with wax and then put a lot of makeup on it. She looked all old and unhappy... in all the pictures she was always smiling and pretty and stuff. And poor Maressa standing there in black except for a pretty pink cami underneath her cardigan looking all pretty and trying to smile. And her brother there looking like it was a cocktail party. I think he was holding it together for her... I'm so glad she has people she can rely on.
Renee told me about the funeral. That was today. this morning. Renee, as her best friend from elementary school, went, along with a few of her other friends. She said it was so sad. And Maressa cried a lot. Which is to be expected. She said she doesn't wanna see anyone right now, so...
But I have to go. My family is a pain. KILL KILL DIE DIE
Ohhhhhhh yess. And Randolph has decided to like revisit or something... what a pain.
