Hey.

I love you.

Go tell somebody else.

To continue: I'm becoming mildly obsessed with the news stories from Va Tech. On IU Fencing's Facebook group, we've discussed their fencers. Their website says that they're all ok, I guess as far as the webmaster knows. I don't really know any of them, but they were at College Nationals this year and last, so I thought of them quickly. I think about all the friends I have in college. I think about the fact that I and my husband work on a college campus... many, many people I know are somehow affiliated with colleges. Morbid, yes. But really, how can you help thinking about it when these things happen? I think that if this happened at IU or at Southern, I would just get on a plane and go. There would simply be no way that I could deal with the situation until I was there and could see my friends with my own eyes.

I read an article today that was discussing why people do things like this. It's not new; the article seemed to state the reasons why were different, though, based on the demands of society today. I think about anyone I know that's ever been termed a "loner", myself included. Could I ever do something like that? No. It makes me want to walk up to anyone sitting alone or looking sad and say "Hey. How are you today? Do you need to talk?"

I dunno. I think all we can do is love each other as much as possible. It's hard to say what else really matters.
