| Hey all.
I'm back from my trip, obviously.
I don't know why I'm really making this entry, but hey. I've decided that I am no longer going to be using RoomOnFire11 at all, from here on out. So, if you want to still keep in touch, read about my trip, whatever, just ask, and I'll give you my new xanga. I'm not posting it here, in the interest of privacy.
Thanks again,
<3 | | |

Just a brief note:
I imagine many of you know that I'm going to be in England, from Monday evening (tonight) until late Sunday afternoon. I'll be flying out in a couple of hours, red-eyes are just so fun.
Anyway, I'll be there for my Grandad's funeral. I think I'll be okay, so don't worry about me or anything. I'm sorry I'll be missing Inkwell and odds are I'll be doing lots and lots of make-up homework, because teachers are just nice that way.
I'll load up on British chocolate too (Cadbury's, mmm), that always helps.
I love you all and miss you all and I can't wait to see you all when I get back.
<3 Claire

| This is a public service announcement. . .with guitars!
Okay, so I just got another xanga. This one hasn't been cutting it for me, especially the username. I had a recent epiphany that The Strokes, while still a group I enjoy, are not my undyingly most adored band ever anymore. So, it doesn't really apply now. Also, I was in need of change, I'm closing the chapter of this xanga and moving on to a new one.
My point is, I want it to be more personal and more intimate. So, if you really want to know, you can comment and I'll add you or tell you or something. But in the interest of privacy and such, please only say so if you're actually interested/actually read this. I hope that's not too much to ask. I might still update generally on here from time to time, and I also have my livejournal.
I also have a new screenname fyi, you can find that in the info of my current one. I'll be switching over fairly soon.
Thanks.

I thought that was pretty interesting. I don't know, I liked the result a lot. I wouldn't be a doctor though, but I could see a hippie. Kind of. Ha ha.
Dear god. I am currently (not) making up a week's worth of math homework. I swear, it is more than enough to make me cry. I wish for once I could just miss school and not have all the work weighing down on me later - I still can't get into a work frame of mind, at all.
Someone please save me.
Until then, random question of the day!
Random question of the day: Do you feel most comfortable and most natural in the light or dark? Which are you more deeply drawn to? And why?
H'okay, so.
<3
P.S. Thank you times a squillion for all of your oh-so kind comments regarding my grandfather. It's really heartening, all of your support and encouragement, you're really, really helping me through. I love you all.

Title: hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow. . .
. . .no tomorrow, no tomorrow
I wish I could have been there when he died.
The last time I talked to him was when he called on my 16th birthday from England. I never got to say goodbye.
I know things weren't always perfect with him, but I can't stop hearing him and seeing him and remembering him, and I know that especially because I was his first grandchild, he loved me.
And I'm probably going to be flying out to England soon for the funeral, and odds are I'll be missing midterms, and I feel bad for my brother because his 13th birthday is in five days.
Every minute the numbness melts away a little more and it sinks in and I realize everything.
Seeing my dad crying at the top of the stairs was one of the worst parts. I've only ever seen him cry once before.
And now it feels like there's a weight tied to my forehead, and I'm too limp to move my limbs much or just get up. And I don't know how I'm going to get my homework done and try to study for two tests and if I go to school tomorrow I don't know how I'll be able to get through the day without starting to cry in the middle of everything.
All I want to do is sit in the dark and fall asleep.
And I'm sorry if this sounds like a plea for sympathy. I just need to write it down somewhere.
