Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Phew, -t! Finally.

I'm sure I also have my freshman facebook.

I did not get the freshman Facebook because I didn't realize it was a thing? And then I was kinda bummed I didn't.

MeganWalker, that sounds about right. And maybe I did have one and tossed it? I know I got pictures senior year at some point, but when they sent the proofs I was horrified because they caught me mid-blink and it looked like I was having a stroke or something. So I def didn't buy any of those!

We had a "lookbook" freshman year. I remember that. And I vaguely remember getting pictures taken senior year, so maybe we did have a yearbook of sorts, though I still feel like it wasn't called that.

I had college yearbooks.

I need to find a sympathy card for my boss that also hits the jesus,life is complicated. Her widowed SIL (not sure of which flavor of in-law) died suddenly this weekend, leaving 3 kids under 18. They are the only local family, so yeah.

Oh my. That doesn't sound like any kind of easy time.

Our wings are not tired

My college had a yearbook. I still have mine here on a shelf.

This too shall pass.

Now I want to stop by our university library, because if they had yearbooks then DH would be in there as an athlete. If he has one I never noticed it.

Oh dear sarameg, how heartbreaking for those kids.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My college had a yearbook, and my parents insisted I get photographed for it and bought me a copy my freshman year. This was in the early grunge period, and my parents were not best pleased to see me photographed in my favorite oversized flannel shirt. It was a head and shoulders shot—they would have been less pleased with the torn jeans I was also wearing at the time. A fact that didn't seem to cheer them up when I shared it with them. Anyway, there may have been more yearbooks, but not with me.
