speachless

i recently had one of the biggest shockers of my life. I found out that a girl and friend i've known for about 13 years.. since she was 2, passed away a couple of days ago. I was best friends with her sister with kindegarten and basically lived at their house and not only became close with her sister but close with her. Our moms were really close and call eathother on a regular basis. She had cystic fibrosis and had had a double lung transplant and her body rejected the lungs. I was so shocked. For some of you who don't know we've been foundraising for her for her whole life. She shed much needed light on cystic fibrosis, she brought joy to so many people's lives. I always thought she would make it through and never once did i think she would lose this battle. a very large sense of smallness comes over me when this happens, i was talking to her a couple of weeks ago, before her surgery and she was so optimistic... wow... first time in my life i can honestly say i am speachless~

ode to life

so the other night i couldn't fall asleep, not a rare occurence; however, i coudln't stop thinking about everything. I realized that i had no idea what i was going to do in life, no idea if i would be able to get into a university and basically every fear anyone could have about the next step in life. I realized that i have to graduate this year, and that i don't know how to cook anything... how am i going to survive if i can't cook anything and what if i become gigantic because all i eat is fast food because i can't cook. So with all these thoughts in my head and it being 4:00 in the morning i decided that maybe i should just turn on the tv to try to distract me and what do i turn on is the graduation show of laguna beach. oh hum....

I had possibly the worst day of my life at work yesterday. I was yelled at for the first time ever at work.... the frananator strikes again. She's on my hit list now. The story is long and boring so i'll spare you but it turned out in my almost quitting which is pleasant.

Yesterday i found something out at work... adults think that young people are stupid. I'm not stupid nor are my friends, so why is it that adults still treat you like you're an idiot. I have no idea and i'll probably think that teens are stupid too when i become an adult but i know one thing when your 46-year-old manager is stealing your ideas on how to run the front end something is seriously wrong when she thinks that you're an idiot.

Today i slept in 'till 2 which is creepy and i think i'm hanging out with ema when she gets off work at around 4:30 which will be tons 'o fun! anyways that's all for now. Oh colleen is back in the sarnhog... oh how exciting! call my colleen!

~peace out~ Elyse
