Today's Gary's birthday... 18th to be exact. This is the hardest I've cried for him. I was reading over his blog and he kept talking about how awesome his senior year was going to be and how he hopes he'll still talk to these people when he's like 30. gosh it freaking kills me. I need something to distract me. Something to make me smile. I miss him so much. so terribly much.

Summer is here!

So yesterday was Graduation!!! I was so excited for the Class of 2010! They have had an extremely hard year and they got through it! They had an empty chair for Gary. They also gave his family his diploma. I cried. a lot. But I could feel that he was there in spirit. Then after that, Worthy, Nia and I roamed around Furman until it was time for Lizzie's concert! She beasted by the way. So that start of summer was awesome. Then today came. I've been doing Formspring for awhile right? Well I get up this morning and see that I have a question that says "Please fix your fugly teeth". Rude much? 1) Considering I've been living with my teeth like this for quite some time you would think that I would notice that my teeth aren't particularly straight and pretty, but I guess I'm blind or something because they felt the need to remind me. 2) I can't just go "oh, my teeth aren't pretty. *poof* all better! no! I need braces, I'm aware. But you know how much braces cost? THOUSANDS of dollars! Maybe the person who wrote that "question" hasn't had money problems all of their life, but my family has. My mom was a single mom from the time I was in 2nd grade until around 6th grade. My stepdad lost his job about 2 years ago. We have had health insurance on and off for the past year. He finally got a new job that will cover 50% of the braces cost. First, though, both my stepdad and my mom have broken teeth that give them pain that needs to be taken care of. Also, I'll have to get my wisdom teeth taken out before I get braces. Then we'll have to wait for more money to become available once that procedure is done. Then considering how screwed up my teeth are, it's going to take quite a few years having braces before they're fixed. 3) When you say something that rude, at least be courageous enough to say who you are. Don't hide behind anonymousity! That just makes you a coward, and NO ONE respects a coward.
So yeah. That's how I feel about that. If someone has something to say about me, say it to my face. Think about what you're saying before you say it. Don't be a jerk. Nobody likes them.
