Copied this from my friends Journal, just becasue. I live in the same area with her and we went to the same school.

First of all, I'd like everyone who reads this to give a moment of silence to Mr. Curry, the high school journalism teacher. I've been informed that yesterday morning in his front lawn, he took a shotgun to himself. God only knows why, I just know that, even though I didn't have him, I'll miss him. R.I.P. Mr. Curry.

"Secondly, there's some f&#*ed up s*@! goin' on at the schools in Jefferson City. Not only did one of the teachers commit suicide, but a 9 year-old girl went missing. Turns out, a 15 year-old girl from Simonsen killed her, simply wanting to know what it felt like to kill someone. She picked her at random and even dug the grave before she did anything. What the hell? Seriously? What are they telling those kids?? Another moment of silence for the child who will never understand what life has to hold.
All this horrible stuff has put me in a state of paranoia. And I'm talking extreme. I jumped at my own reflection in the window when I pulled into the parking lot outside my dorm tonight. I'm so scared for all my friends and family who are still in these cursed buildings...
I beg all of you to GET ALONG and LOVE EVERYBODY. Even if they're annoying, they just need someone to understand. Don't just tell your own problems and blow others off. That's just mean. Listen and help all you can. I'm not saying everyone does this, but I know some people do. Just...don't be mean.
That's all I have to say for now. Until next time, which will hopefully be a little more uplifting.
PEACE."

This alll scared the CRAP outta me. For me, my Jared, and my Daughter. *shudder*

My lizard, Micheal, Finnally bit the dust.

Its alright. For the past couple weeks I'd be saying "any day now", and I knew it. She was 7 years old, for pete's sake. But I feel worse because I think she starved to death. She went blind recently and I don't think she could find her food. I don't know if she went blind of old age. It could be because of the last time she shed. She didn't quite get it off her face and I finally had to peel it off her eyes. ( also tried her finders, but one hand I think was losing fingers and the shed was stuck ). She never opened her eyes since then. She never really learned how to shed very well. I did it for her alot when she was little, because I liked to bond with her. I don't know if thats why this time shedding went so bad, or if she was just too old or senile. Now, I don't know if you know what a leaopard gecko looks like, but they're supposed to be super fat, as they store nutrition in their tails. Her tail went real thin. And when I moved her to her grave I saw how skinny she really was.I feel awful about it, but I don't think their was anything I could do.
I buried her outside under the window I kept her under inside.
Also, Terra was just getting to the age where she was getting real intersted in the lizard. So I'm not looking forward to her finding out shes gone. That'll probebly be tonight before bed. Shes been in the routine of looking at her before bed every night *cringes*
Now I just Have to figure out what I'm going to do with her stuff. I don't know if I'll sell it for other stuff, or another kind of lizard (no snakes yet, not until I get my own place) or if I'll just clean it up and get another babt leopard gecko. *shrug* whatta think?
