I am once again blogging from my iPod because my laptop is broken. Again. Cool. Anyway, lots going on lately. Today was Jason's 21st birthday and also the 6th month mark since he died. A bunch of his friends, myself included, all went to palasad to celebrate in his honor. I'm really happy with how it went! I felt a bit awkward at first, but the last 2 hours or so, I didn't feel anxious at all and actually managed to socialize. It's so crazy for me, talking to people comfortably without feeling the need to be under the influence. I'm kind of proud, I guess. I've been thinking a lot about Jason lately and the impact his death has had on so many people. In a way, it's kind of made me realize that I should socialize more because life can be so incredibly short. I dunno. Plus I feel okay around these people because I know they're all great people. Jason only befriended great people, it seems. My thoughts go out to all his lovely friends and family, I can only imagine how they feel. In other news, I feel a bit optimistic right now. I finally have 4 people I could basically call friends at s c hool. Not close friends, but at least something familiar I can occasionally converse with when I see them ahool. I'm excited to be free from sewing and law, too. I hope this positive feeling can stay with me for a good while.
