today, I was told I’m a selfish person for going to my friends funeral rather than a birthday club event. WTF.
if family comes first, then why weren’t you there for me when I was crying over my deceased friend?
I listened to this band in high school and still do. One of my top favorites. I remember my friends who turned me onto this band. cut class to go and play singstar haha.
^ yup, what he said. haha
Exactly one year ago, I got the terrible news that my grandmother had passed away in her sleep. Last night, I got the devastating news that my friend was taken from us. I didn’t want to believe it, it couldn’t be true. But after my boyfriend spoke to his sister, we had no choice but to believe it. He was an innocent victim; as he and his sister were in the car ready to drive to school they heard gunshots. They ducked, but just when they thought they were safe the gunman pointed at their car and shot. The man was chasing someone else; when that person got away the gunman became angry and shot at my friends instead. I’m incredibly grateful his sister is okay, but Edwin, Edwin did not deserve this. He didn’t. I met Edwin in middle school, we used to sit in PE together and listen to story of the year, every day we listened to “until the day I die”. He got me into rock & alternative music. He made me smile every day.
When we got to high school, he was still that happy spirited person. He tried to convince me to go into the law academy but I decided to go with MM instead. Even then, he was always there for me. He went to my quinceanera, I only invited a few people to my quince but he has always been one of those special people in my heart. Such a bright spirit of happiness always walked into a room with so much energy. When one of our friends was in a car accident Edwin came to me and gave me the biggest hug he had ever given me. I tried to calm him down, I had never seen him upset before & I don’t think I’ve ever seen him without a smile on his face. I told him everything was going to be okay.
When senior year ended and graduation was upon us he gave me another huge hug. He said “WE DID IT!” Edwin wasn’t the type of person that belonged in a click. He was everyone’s friend. He hung out with the jocks, the skaters, the leadership kids, the soccer players, the popular girls, with everyone. This isn’t just a loss to a couple of people, this is a loss to the entire Richmond community. I’m still in shock and I can’t seem to process this. Edwin, I’m so sorry we weren’t as close these past few years as we used to be. You will always be in my heart and memories. I will always remember the way you smiled, you laughed, the smirk you would give me when you wanted some of my food, and the times you made fun of me cause you were taller and skinnier. You were an amazing friend. Like your sister told us last night “Were in hell, but he’s in heaven, he’s safe and he’ll be looking down on us forever” <3

Last Friday I went to Barnes & Noble. I finally bought “The Future Us” by Jay Asher (who wrote 13 reasons why) and Carolyn Mackler. I’ll be honest, the main reason I bought this book was because I love 13 reasons why and I think Jay Asher is an amazing author. This is an interesting story because it takes place in the 90’s before the internet was main stream and before the invention of facebook. In the story the two main characters receive an AOL trial CD and log on to the internet, Facebook pops up and they log in. They have no idea what facebook is and are confused because this facebook page seems to show them 15 years into the future. Both characters quickly become obsessed with finding out what the future holds for them and become somewhat addicted to Facebook.
I loved this book because it made me realize how much technology has developed into a necessity rather than entertainment. We constantly obsess with websites such as facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, etc. Everyone should read this book, its an eye opener.
Aside from The Future Us, I also got a book that has the most amazing photos of Mujeres who fought along side men in the Mexican Revolution. My sister also bought me “Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children” I haven’t had a chance to read it yet but it looks like such a good book. It looks a bit creepy which means I’m probably going to love it! :)
I had a morning/afternoon workout today. I did my jazz dance warm up & routines. I’m proud to say my turns are getting much much better and I am still somewhat flexible. However, I can tell I got weaker, I can hardly do any push ups and my sit ups are a mess. I have one week to work on both of these so I can be ready for jazz dance this upcoming semester. After that I spent an hour working on the wii fit & just dance 2. I love these games, no lie, THEY WORK! I can always feel the burn and sweat my little butt off. Its tiring, but what better way to work out than having fun right? I gained about 10 pounds this winter break, its time to stop being lazy and work those and some extra pounds off. I feel so motivated right now.
