I am truly sorry for what I said Steph. I didn't know anyone close to you had just passed away. There was no way for me to know that. How anyone could think there was is beyond me. Obviously if I had known I wouldn't have said what I did. I may be strong opinionated but I'm not an asshole and I don't wish harm on anyone. Thank you for all that came in my defense. You were right.....I had no way of knowing. For those of you who attacked me I ask you how can you say what you did. I'm not psychic. What you have said says a lot about who you are and just reinforces my opinions of you. Again Steph I'm very sorry to hear about your friend and I truely didn't mean to sound insensitive. I would never have made those comments had I have known.

venom, i know you didn't mean anything i just replied because she wasn't being an irresponsible drinker and downing obscene amounts of alcohol or showing off etc. i know you didn't mean to be insensitive. i probably wouldn't have made the thread if it wasn't for the fact that prior to this experience, i didn't really think alcohol poisoning was all that serious. i knew people died from it but i thought you had to drink excessive amounts for it to happen. also, a lot of kids are hesitant to take people who have passed out to the hospital because they think they will get them in trouble. it was more of a wakeup call than anything. thanks to everyone who posted condolences, i appreciate it.

Did you ever concider opening or joining a chapter of SADD or something? that would be really helpful for a lot of people, and because of this experience people would listen to the message.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

my condolences, it's terrible when something like that happens.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.
