Man, it's been a weird
Man, it's been a weird ole week.
I've been studying like a crazy person. I have two finals and a project due this week. I'll be really glad when this semester is over. Next semester I have aqusitions which sounds like lots of fun. And Rob is leaving for India and Singapore on Wednesday. So we have been making sure he has everything he needs; Clean shirts, new toothbrush, and malaria pills. (yes malaria!) He'll be gone for a week, so it is me and the kitty holding down the fort at Casa del Barker.
THEN........
I heard there was a big snowstorm that hit the Midwest (where a lot of my family lives). So I went to the local paper to get the scoop. Well I got a huge shock.
I found out that a girlfriend of mine from High School passed away.
I am completely floored by this. She was my first real girlfriend. I had a lot of guy friends up to that point but I never really got along well with girls, I found most teenage girls to be annoying and petty. Well then Tia and I started hanging out. She was cool, liberated and didn't give a crap what other people thought of her. She drove a blue Fiat, smoked Benson & Hedges, and laughed with whole being. We learned a lot while we were friends. We broke some hearts (and had ours stomped on...), learned how much not to drink, saw quite a few bands and quickly outgrew the town we lived in.
Tia moved to St Louis, I to Chicago.
She married, had a baby, I moved to Australia and got married.
We lost touch somewhere in there.
But sometimes, some people make an impression on your soul that never goes away no matter how long it has been. Tia, you will be missed. I hope you are at peace wherever you are
