Eesh

So I wrote last January about my cousin Lauren's fiance who was paralyzed when his car went into a ravine. He still hasn't moved, other than involuntarily, and he is going to live with his parents instead of my cousin, because they have a handicapped accessible house.

A couple days ago, my cousin Leah's fiance, Shawn, was killed when he hit a tree with his car. My cousin has three previous children, and Shawn was willing to adopt them all and be a father to them, as well as a great guy to my cousin. I feel so bad for her. She had already set the date and asked me to be in the wedding.

I really hope that I'm not cursed to be in wedding parties for my cousins...

In lighter news, I finally finished the four books in George RR Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. Sooooo good. Some of the best reading I've ever done. I have no fucking clue how, but this author can write political intrigue, romance, horror, and medieval times like nobody I've ever seen. I really hope the fifth book comes out soon, because, even though I am now reading and liking "Twilight", I really miss those Starks and Lannisters.

"Winter is Coming."

Apparently I own the first book in that series, according to Mike. Have you read the Ice and Fire series? Mike says Martin is a lot better, but I have not read Goodkind. I'll try it though!

What the hell?

I had ANOTHER dream about the guy I went to school with that I hardly talk to and never think about....you would think if I never think about him I would stop having dreams about him!  But no, this has gone on for years.  What the hell?   And on a totally separate note, I think sometimes I enjoy flirting more than sex.  I haven't experienced much of it (flirting) since the days of Chris Campbell and I think I've missed it.

Life...or something like it

"Have you ever thought about all of the choices that you have made that got you to the point you are at right now? Just worked your way back through your day, the week, the month, the year, your life? Pulling out those big decisions, those careless mistakes, those acts of charity that changed you. That time you got in trouble, that time you didn't get caught. That time you got angry, that time you cried, that time you spoke up, that time you kept quiet. That time you realized. That time you fell in love." "We all make choices in our life. Some of us like to put probability into how we choose. Some work out the actual chance and some just say everything is 50/50. Some of us believe in destiny. Some of us believe in free will. Everyone has their beliefs about what happens to them in their life. But we only learn half of the time and regret the other half." These aren't my words, but I read them in a livejournal I frequent and thought it was a good way o...

The wonderful world of HBO

I'd like to take this time to point out that HBO is amazing. Its array of films could be better, but right now I'm talking about its original programming. I don't get to watch tv all that often, but when I do I like to see what's on HBO. Every time I see a tv show on that channel and watch it, even if it's in the middle of season 6 of the show, I end up loving it. Some of my favorites: 1. Sex and the City. Okay so this show is probably every girl and gay guy's favorite on HBO but it's for good reason. It is extremely well written, and they take sexual orientation lightly, which I like. I think Miranda and Samantha were both randomly lesbians for a little while then ended up stopping. The show is simply amazing, the weed episode being my current favorite. Sample lines: Samantha: One time I fucked a guy because he had a swimming pool. I came over and he used to bring me Kool-Aid. Carrie: Kool-Aid? Samantha: I was thirteen. Ca...
