Tragic family stuff

First, I am falling in love with this song: "echo" by Incubus.

Second, the craziness of my family has taken a turn for the worse. My parents were on vacation in Pennsylvania when they encountered the crisis of the year. They were staying with my uncle when his wife discovered that he was cheating on her. She became very angry and upset and tried to kill herself. The story is more complicated than that, and more gory, but I definitely don't want to go on exposing my family's very private life to the world. The moral of the story is that my uncle's (soon to be ex) wife is in the psych unit of a hospital. And my parents are pretty traumatized. My mom has to go to my grandmother's house to be there when she finds out because chances are good she'd have a heart attack or something.

It's really bothersome. The whole situation. I worry so much. And I love Ann so very much. She's my uncle's second wife, so I don't naturally call her my aunt, but she is truly incredible. And I hate to think that I'm not going to be seeing her anymore. I hate even more to think of her in the hospital, wanting to die because of something her husband did.

What a crappy day. It's so gray and rainy. I want it to stop raining. I'm going to the movies with Megan tonight, and I wish we could walk, but that's out of the question with this crappy weather.

But as far as my very personal, individualized life goes, I'm doing pretty well. This weekend seems like it's going to be infinitely better than the last two were. And that pleases me a great deal. I am currently in the process of becoming more and more addicted to livejournal. I keep making new friends. Today I updated some new images too. It's kind of crazy. This computer is the bane of my existence, yet so much my refuge and home. *sigh* I worry about our society today.

The miss list: Tiffany (I got the coolest letter ever from here today!!), my Mom, Ann, Maggie

"Could you show me dear something I'm not seeing? Something infinitely interesting?"
