Don't check facebook when you're taking notes on your laptop during class

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. That's the second unexpected death I've heard about this week. Relish those happy memories.

I don't check facebook when I'm working at all- so it always amazes me that people do when they're at class, work, etc.

I'm finding that if I take notes on the computer, I can keep up better. But there are lulls, and my mind wanders, and it's only a couple clicks away.

It actually wasn't unexpected. I found out that I wasn't getting updates because they were going to my old email account, which I abandoned because of the horrific amounts of spam. She'd had a cancer for a while. It looked for a while like she was going to kick it, but then it came back with a vengeance.

What makes me the most sad is that they had a memorial for her a month ago, so she could be there. I didn't know about it, and that makes me sad beyond words.

Wait. What? That's kind of different- a memorial with the departing present. I've never heard of that concept before. Still, what a terrible loss. Cancer gives such a difficult battle, but the treatment can be just as hard.

*hugs* Even if you're expecting it, death always comes as a surprise.

It really doesn't seem fair. Of all the people I met while dancing, she's the one who always seemed to be there just for pure joy. She loved to dance, and she loved being around dancers, no matter who they were. For that reason, we loved to be around her.

This just sucks.

That really is touching. I think that's a wonderful way to remember someone.
