Shocking news

[judecorp]

I just found out, thanks to friendsfriends, that this guy in Columbus that I sort of knew from LiveJournal was in a really bad car accident on the 11th and is in the ICU. He slammed his car into a tree, and then his car caught on fire. He has third degree burns on like 50% of his body and he just had to have his right hand amputated. Wow, that's totally scary and shocking. I think he's like 20 years old.

And then my Jennifer came home from work and said that she thought that two guys followed her home from the train station. She was pretty shaken up about the whole thing.

I just can't imagine anything ever happening to her. My god, I would totally lose it. I don't even have the brainpower to really contemplate such a thing. Everything I hope and dream about is intertwined with her and her hopes and dreams. Would I still want a baby? Would I still want to own a house? I have no idea. The world would be a very different, very surreal, and very empty place.

At the same time I know that if you had to choose between those hopes and dreams and Jen, you'd have no problems making that decision. Just one more sign that you and Jen are RIIIIIIIIIIGHT!

Now now, I have a hard time making ANY decision. ;)

(But yeah, I know what you mean, mama!)

I want to share that kind of love with someone someday. You two give me hope.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You will. I swear.

omg people following her home?! that seems scary... i'm glad she's okay!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's freaky. I've never felt that way anywhere in Boston. I mean, I'm sure it happens but I have never been affected by anything like that ever.

psst. come back to columbus where you can pack heat!

In the meantime, she should consider buying a tactical flashlight (http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_disp/displ/prrfnbr/878/sesent/00).

Somehow, I think the way to convince me to move back to Columbus is NOT to remind me about the concealed carry law. ;)

My brother google searched a girl he used to like - and found her obituary.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yikes.

That's the guy that dicked me over about taking over my lease on my apartment.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know! And the guy who kept trying to sell/buy a car on columbus over and over and over. (Which is really the only way I know him, that and occasional comments in the community, but still...)

I just can't imagine anything like that happening to anyone. It's like those things don't exist in my happy little world. You know?

[prettyvacantone.livejournal.com]

You know, I find it a little sick that the community his girlfriend started to keep people updated on his condition has so many members. Because I bet at least a considerable minority of those people are only there out of morbid voyeurism. I can't say that I haven't gone to see what's going on with the horror show. :-x

I can't imagine going through anything like that...or having it happen to someone I love.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I admit being a voyeur too - though I only discovered the community tonight, because it popped up on my friendsfriends. (But then I had to go back to the beginning because I didn't know what the heck was going on.)

But you're right, I imagine that some of the watchers are friends, and others are totally just watching the show. And I know that some of the commenters I saw don't know either person, and that's kind of icky too.

p.s. <3

"oozing from his armpit" ... "remove the bolt from his head" ... "amputate his hand" ... "piano for sale" ... "saw grafts didn't take" ... "catheterizing his head"

holy cow!

No kidding, I told you it was really scary and shocking!

[thelastbard.livejournal.com]

That's very strange, because there was a lot of weird shit that went down this weekend for me too. My girlfriend broke up with me, and Tara's good friend tried to commit suicide Friday night. He wasn't succsesful (sp), but still.

Was there a bad moon or something?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I dunno... are you okay? I didn't know you had a serious girlfriend. What happened? Do you want/need to talk about it?

Want me to beat her up?

[thelastbard.livejournal.com]

No, no hits.

I don't need to talk about it anymore, but suffice to say that it was/is a rough breakup. Stupid LDS girls...

Things are better, though. Thanks for asking/offering.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I can't believe you're still chasing after LDS girls.

[thelastbard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. I can't believe it either. This one was somehow... different.

Oh well. If anything, breakups tend to hone my focus a bit more. I get a lot of stuff done after one.

I just want my super-hot B to be okay!
