That did help Andrea, thanks!! The pictures came out really nice-ill be sure to show ya when they're done! *daizey*

Tomorrow my two brothers and I are going to get a nice portrait done of all of us for our parents as a christmas gift. We were discussing what we were going to wear and trying to come up with a certain color to stick to. All three of us happen to look good in black, but I've heard one shouldn't wear black when being photographed. Anyone know if there's any any truth to this? If it helps any, we were going to be picking a white background with gold in it...to go along with our black shirts and nice jeans... *daizey*

yayyyyyyyyyy Amber! You rock girlie!!!!!!!!!!1 Congratulations!!!!

aww... me and my kitty (Oreo) send you and your kitty lots of kitty vibes!! *daizey*

Thank you. You're right, thats exactly what this post was about. I wanted a real life situation to be described as kind of an eye opener to the horrible things that can happen to you. This isn't soemthing you read about in a magazine-that soemtimes seems so far away it doesn't hit home. This time it hit quite a bit closer. It was also a bit about helping me deal with it. Knowing people were there for me and seeing the support brought tears to my eyes. Then there was the post you were referring to as well-that brought tears to my eyes too-only this time they were different types of tears... In no way at this moment do i feel as though I am responsible for what happened. Countless people have told me not to feel guilty-i wasn't until i read that that i did have feelings of guilt. I felt horrible, but now I am feeling a bit better. I know that i was in no way apart of what happened and that i did all i could. Many people could've jsut stood in disbelief and thought optimistically and said they'd be ok. I ran to try and get help and get them to stop-thats all i could have done. Thanks again to everyone. You are making this very hard time seem just a little bit easier. *daizey*

hmm i think i vaguely remember them....hahaha probably cause one was me! lol. He's right. I went, I had just done 2 tandems the week prior. I had a great time the entire time! Its amazing how much you can learn by just watching and listening to people. Great oppurtunity to ask questions and such. Plus someones always around. Due to injury and not being able to finish my aff on time because of it, i won't be jumping in eloy. But i already have my tickets so I am gonna go and have a good time-so you can always look for me

also, for those who don't konw what to say, don't worry about it. Just knowing you care is all that matters

Thank you everyone for everything. The love, support, phone calls, IM's and pm's has been amazing. I'm so lucky to have you all! Its definitely going to be a tough time and a tough thing to get over. But I know I have lots of people i can turn to. Writing this post served 2 major purposes. One was that i was able to sit downa and write it all out-it helped me feel so much better. This post was the first time i discussed the entire incident with anyone who meant anythign to me at all. The second was for people to read it and think about the incident. I wanted people to read it and realize everything that happened. Its shocking, and a real eye opener. I want to especially thank the people who passed it along to others. I received a few pm's and pphone calls in which the people mentioned they passed it along. Thank you Some people have asked me a few questons about what ahppened. To be perfectly honest, the more and more time that passes, the blurrier things get. But i can try to answer a little. -The girl who was driving was not sold any alcohol. Nor was she present when the other girls, who were all of age bought the alcohol. I believe she was looking at the mgazine rack on the otherside of the register and she joined the group shortly after. Surveillance camera shows she was not nearby nor did she purchase the alcohol or pick up any of it. -The girls who were injured were all in that one car. The girls in the other car were not injured. -Im not sure of the speed they were going when either backing up or driving forward.-all of that just went by so fast, i really can't tell you. This all happened with in a fairly small contained area though. *daizey*

If that was directed at me in any sort of way I just want to let you know that in no way did my selling alcohol have to do with this incident whatsoever. The girl was drunk before she came in-and i didn't even notice her until after the sale was done. The girls were over 21 and they were plannin on going back to there room to drink *daizey*

I’m sorry this is so long, but please read it. As I was getting ready for work tonight, I got a call from some of my friends asking if I wanted to go out. It sounded like soo much fun-one of the last chances to have some fun before finals week and all of us leaving to go home. I was so tempted to go-anyone who was talking to me at the time saw how mad I was cause I had to work. “Just call into work-they’ll be fine” But I didn’t Tonight I was working at a grocery store nearby. I work as a cashier, and one of the fun things to do while I am bored is to stare out into the busy parking lot and street. Right now its snow covered so its even more amusing since I get to watch people slip and slide while carrying their groceries out. Tonight I glanced out and noticed my friends who I was suppose to go out with. It got busy and I suddenly forgot about them-until they came through my line. Someone already smelled of alcohol and together they were buying even more. One of the girls I knew told me they were no longer going out. So I wasn't missing much. They were, as she said “doing the responsible thing” and staying on campus and partying-that way they wouldn’t have to worry about driving later and i could easily join them when i got off of work. I laughed as she paid-then noticed one of the girls in the back, one who I didn’t know very well, who had a beer in her hand. I politely told her she couldn’t drink in the store. She was already pretty drunk-and was definitely making a fool of herself. She got kinda mad at me, then laughed it off and put it in her coat. The girls gathered everything and left. Again bored, I watched my friends make their way through the slippery parking lot-the one who had been drinking in the store was stumbling all over the place as she was sprinting through the lot. Then, all of a sudden she slipped. The car coming towards her hit its breaks and skidded into an empty spot- thankfully missing her. The girl got up brshed off the snow, laughed and got into the car. How ANYONE figured she could drive one of the 2 cars they brought was beyond me. But she got into the drivers seat. I got a customer and I told them to hold on and ran over to one of the supervisors-I tell them she has been drinking-A LOT and tell them to see if they can stop the car. But by the time they got to the door it was too late. The next few seconds went by soo fast. One minute she was in the parking spot, the next she was out of the car. Glass was everywhere. People were running.... The girl had gone to back out of the spot. A woman carrying a small baby was walking up towards the store. The girl in the car must have hit the gas pretty hard cause she flew out of that spot, hitting the woman, and a car behind her. Then whether she switched it into drive or not I am not sure, but she hit the curb and then the tree at the end of one of the spots in front of her pretty hard. Not wearing her seatbelt caused her and 1 other to be thrown from the car. The next few minutes are all a blur. Paramedics come, people go running. All I remember is my customer had the nerve to yell at me that he was in a hurry and needed to be checked out. Not sure what I said back-but knowing me in that type of situation, I’m sure it wasn’t nice. Four people lost their lives tonight-and I watched every second of it. One had only experienced 4 months of its life, while 2 others only 22 years and another 28 years. All because a bunch of college kids wanted to have some fun. I had to watch 4 people die because one couldn’t wait just a little longer to start in on her fun. Her “responsible” fun as they had called it earlier. Two people especially did not deserve to die-they hadn't one drink or even a clue as to what was going on. They were just starting their lives-one as a person, and one as a new mother. Because of these girls, many families are not going to be able to have a happy holiday. 6 other girls will be haunted by the memories of being at that scene. Three of them are in critical condition in the hospital. I’m sorry this post is so long but the purpose behind it is important. Thankfully I decided not to go out tonight or I coulda been one of those girls. Half of them had no idea she was drunk until they got to the store-and the plan was not for her to drive. I'm not sure what happened, but becuase of their choices I had to watch 4 people die tonight and there was NOTHING I could do about it. I will never forget this night. Please THINK before you drink. I know most people here are older and may think they are wiser than a bunch of college kids, but everyone makes a mistake or two-please make sure your mistakes don’t turn out to be fatal. Be careful not only this holiday, but all the time. Remember-you are not the only one you are hurting. *daizey*

Hang in there Chris. Everything is gonna work out for you. I'm keeping ya in my thoughts and prayers. Just be thankful that it is only 12-18 months. I know that seems horrible to you now, but just think it could've been longer or the doctor may have said you may never recovery completely. As for skydiving again...i came across This earlier. It was written by Michele awhile ago, but its so beautifully written that i went back and found it for you to read.... You really gave yourself the best piece of advice...take it one day at a time. Right now the timing may seem like an eternity, but it will go by faster than you think. And just remember you have tons of people who love and care about you and want nothing more than for you to get better soon!! *daizey*

Thanks everyone for all of the prayers, vibes, and support Fortunately they helped to get her out of the hospital...unfortunately, not everything is better... the doctor she was going to sounds liek a real bonehead...after keeping her in the hospital for 3 days he said the pain in her chest and back and all is all in her head. He put her on all of these meds...she went to see her local dotor today and he was liek why are you on that!? and took her off. Hes began new stuff to try and figure out whats going on i just hope they get to the bottom of this soon and figure it out so she can feel better *daizey*

Well aren't you lucky! I still have to finish this week and next before finals even start... *daizey*
