So sad

RIP Heath Ledger.

I know I didn't know him personally, never met him, (but think I saw him by the Lincoln Park Zoo when they were filming "The Dark Knight") but he was someone I respected for the talent he had. He was someone I had a crush on at one point. And we feel that we know people who are in the public eye, even though we are completely separated from really knowing them.

It will be so sad to watch "The Dark Knight". It's so sad that his talent is gone. It's a shame that his daughter won't have her father. And it's such a shame that he died much too soon. Hollywood lost some amazing talent. He will be missed.

The last three days have been really great.

Saturday night was fun, playing Cranium with Christi, JD and Maria, and laughing our asses off. I love those moments when I reconnect with Christi.

Yesterday was a core-member LadyBusiness. It was then turned into ToryBusiness, which was awesome. Just spending the afternoon with most of the women I love (and Ehren as the honorary vag) then playing Guitar Hero and just spending good, quality time....it was wonderful.

Then today the weather was gorgeous and I watched David Bowie's Glass Spider Tour with Meagan, which I haven't seen in years and years. We both sat on the couch and squealed like little girls. Well, like the little girls we once were, squealing about the same David Bowie. Tonight is my interview with Ari.

I feel very good about everything right now. I know the last few days have helped with that. Just good feelings all around. And I know I'm doing the right thing.

I really love the weekends Chris comes into town. I had forgotten the types of laughing fits we would get into back in the day. But I am reminded when we are both laughing so hard we're gagging in the front hallway of my apartment, tears streaming down and unable to breathe.

Good times. Damn good times.

Ah, a new year...

A new chance to learn and grow. A new chance to change those things that need changing. A new chance to make memories I can recall at the end of the year.

I just love the possibilities that come with a new beginning.
