Life and Death

So I went to class today suspected the usual boring-ness. Unbeknownst to me, there was a fire in Gladstone last Thursday, and the girl that died in that fire was in my class. I never spoke to her, heck, I don't even remember what she looked like. We only had class for 30 minutes, but I couldn't take my mind off of her. It's so surreal... I mean, how many people have we met that we've never seen again died? We'll never know. That person you had a conversation with in line at the grocery store? The sales associate at your favorite store? It's crazy.
And that's not the end of this whole death thing. Then I found out when I got home that one of my good friends from Elementary school died in a car wreck. What the hell? Deaths come in threes. So I'm expecting another death. Which is morbid... but I'm one of those people that believe in that kind of stuff. Ugh. It won't be someone I know very well, but it'll be someone.


I can only hope it's John McCain.
