I didn't know she had cut her hair! Looks cute.


My mom said it was ok for me to write sad songs... I don't really want to put more sad songs into the world, but I guess it's ok to cry if it gets it out of you. I don't want to walk around with this banner "I'm depressed!" It seems like such a cop out. but I am... depressed... The big part of me knows somewhere that "this too shall pass", and my mom says I need to be to myself what I am to my friends. But I can't pick myself up, it doesn't work that way.

Tobi came over today. Her aunt died in a car accident. She was driving herself back from giving blood, and they think she fainted... yikes. Unfortunately she was also estranged from most of the family, and hadn't had a chance to mend that. Plus the guy she hit is in the hospital, and probably most of her estate is going to have to pay for that, so if her kids want anything they will have to BUY it. That's awful. ugh. Poor Tobers. On top of the hardness of Levi dying, this too. wow. we had tea and cookies and shared travel pictures. good stuff. She wants me to help plan a "coming of age" birthday party for her. That will be a fun project. what a brave person who asks for what she wants!
