what my friends say

March 20, 2007
Rita is such an amazing person, friend, and an indomitable spirit! I first met her when she came to bellydance classes with me and I have watched her fight a great fight against cancer, go through reconstructive surgeries, and totally rebound. It makes my heart leap with joy to see her dance (and to see her hair grow!) and I am so glad she joined PURE in Orlando and has given so much of herself to our group. Thanks Rita - you raq!

i feel so sad, angry, unable to cope, there's just so much, i can't really pin down the chaos i feel
all i can feel from elaine now is evil and hate.

i have to find a way to block the waves of it....

i'm in my new place...thankfully robert is here to protect me the best he can...he tries to provide calmness to a situation i find myself unable to handle....

she hates me...

i did what she asked, but i can't get my stuff out any faster....i don't have the gas to get there anymore...robert can get the rest of my stuff on thursday (i get paid, then), but she won't wait...she's given m... read more
