Luckily, none of them were human.
Luck. It's taken me a while to see the luck in a lot of what happened in 2008. For the most part, I just felt deeply unfortunate. I tried really hard to not let myself wallow in what happened, to pick myself up. I think that for the most part, I did okay. But, it was all still sitting there, like a big lump on my brain. And while I'd love to say that the clock rolling over to another year allows me to put it all behind me, I know there's still giant steps I've got to get past. And luckily, I've got a fantastic group of friends and family to help me along. I am grateful to all of you, you know who you are, but I don't think you realize just how much you do. I still re-read all the comments on the entries I wrote about Annie's death once in a while when I'm feeling down; I really wish I would have saved all the text messages I got on the day of the fire. Big ol' sentimental, melodramatic hugs all around.
Here's something irresponsible: I bought a new point and shoot. Well, Kyle paid for half of it (Merry Yule) and it was an open box value at Circuit City. Hard to turn down. And I'm pretty happy to have a new, constant companion. Her first out of town trip was to see Flogging Molly and The Aggrolites in Denver this weekend, so I named her Molly.
Oh yeah, I went to Denver with Marky for the fourth time in a year. It was hilarious. Blog, photos, and offensive mpegs coming soon... (once I figure out why Molly isn't showing up as an external drive...)
