What a way to start the day.
Mar. 3rd, 2004 03:14 pmI'm lying in bed, awake but refusing to get up. The phone rings, it's for me. It's Bluemoonbaby with some fairly heavy news.
The first part of the news is that a friend of mine from way back is dead. I haven't seen her since...errr...probably the Marilyn Manson signing we had at the bookstore I used to work at. I think. And that was many years ago, probably close to six? I might have seen her since then, but nothing is sticking out in my brain right at this minute.
I don't know very many details, which is troubling. I do know there is some kind of service on Monday for her, but I don't know when or where it is. Blue's not going, though. I used to be very good friends with this girl and there was one particular summer where we hung out /constantly./ But, she got more involved with the things she was involved with and I, not wanting to be a part of that, pulled away. It was unintentional and not done with any malice. We just went in different directions.
**edit** Her best friend put up a memorial on his webpage, www.glamgoth.com. And reading it has brought back a lot of memories that I had long since put away in a little box. Most of the things people have been discussing that I have found, regarding their memories of her, happened after she and I stopped hanging out. But, reading these things makes me smile. Because I can see her in them.
The second part of the news is not for public consumption. Hell, it's not even for friends filter consumption.
