sweet/sour

The last week or so have been pretty overwelming (underwelming? what is welm anyways?).

Rest in peace, Kaylin Marie Matthews: My middle-slash-highschool best friend whom I've had a huge falling out with, but we've made amens because how could we stay mad at eachother forever? let alone almost a year.
She overdosed on the way back from EDC (electric Daisy Carnival) and was left just off the side of a main road up in the hills in agoura. This has made me a bit retarded and out of my mind since I've found out. Relationships (conversations with people) have been strange and I've just noticed how damn depressed I can get so quickly. I guess when one thing is eating away at you it's easy to let other things get a gnaw in as well. As they say, "The sweet is never as sweet without the sour". Here's to being hopeful after my sour week or longer.

On the bright side... before last saturday things were going rather well as felt from my previous posts. Money is starting to be saved up again instead of breaking even by the end of the month. I've been working the Melrose Aaardvark's and have met some very amazing and strange individuals. Those are good terms in my book.

I'm also starting to get sleepy later and later giving me more time after work to have some well deserved "Kimba Time". Not exactly what you think, but then again maybe exactly. I seem to give so much of my own time for other people and I am getting that feeling one always gets when it feels like I'm not getting enough in return. Not selfishly speaking, but people need creature comforts and tangible and constant evidence of people caring every so often is appreciated. So instead I just lock myself in my room for an unknown length of time until I feel like lending my company to anyone but myself.

Also, I was getting unbareable stomach pains a couple of weeks ago so my father perscribed Famatodine (like a perscription strength Pepcid AC) for my "pre-ulcer type symptoms. Way to make me feel llike an old man. Just let me pop one of my stomach pills and wash it down with my nightcap of straigh bourbon. Mmm, yes. Why not take the medication? I can eat and drink anything I want now.

end of transmission. My mind is turning off now.

Goodnig.. goodmorning.

Our brief exchange of text messages last weekend meant the world to me ... thanks for the support Kim. This has been an absolutely punishing last few weeks, I'm sure you agree ...

We haven't talked much lately, but I just want you to know ... you're one of my oldest friends. I really appreciate our friendship, a lot. I hope we can keep in touch more.

I sent a bunch of those old cell-phone pictures that I took in 2005 of Kaylin over to April for her slideshow thingie, I can't wait to see how that turns out. If you haven't heard, she's making some kind of slideshow movie of Kaylin to one of her techno mixes. I probably would have used something other than a cheesy techno song (Placebo?) but it's probably what Kaylin would have wanted. It's funny, my fondest memories of Kaylin are of her pre-rave - I still have trouble accepting that she was this bouncy candykid at heart, even thought that's apparently exactly what she was. Hrm. (I mean, I went through the goofy raver phase but leapt out of it as soon as I realized that it wasn't for me.)

Anyway, keep in touch, I'll come around here periodically to check up on you. :D

All the best,
Trev
