I just learned that my uncle passed away today. He had a heart attack while golfing, and he was pretty young. I think it is so strange. I can't really believe it yet. I mean, I wasn't super close to him or anything, but he was probably one of the nicest people on my mom's side of the family. He and his sons used to tease me when I was a little girl by calling "Betty". I would call him "Da Fada" because he had so many kids, and I couldn't say my "th's". Hell, I think the last time I saw him he still called me Betty, and that was this Summer. I feel so bad for his 8 kids, and wife, Sarah. A lot of people on my mom's side are really fake, but he was one of the most genuine people I know, and I think we'll all miss that.
There is no way I can see Dashboard or Something Corporate now. *sigh* I tried everything. Mary and I even devised this ingenuis plan where we would pay her friend Kurt, who goes to UK, to drive us up there. Plus, he loves dashboard, but my parents won't let me go with anyone, period. We even considered just sneaking off. I told Alex he should go though.
That reminds me...I miss Ryan a lot. He was one of my best friends last year, sometimes even my best, and I just miss that. We've grown so far apart this year, and it's mostly because of him playing football. I just wish some things never changed.
On a brighter note: I get to dress up like a pirate tommorow night, and perform at the band show during half time. Argh.
