dear ave, count me in - 3/29 or 30 or something/10

I think I'll start with the bad stuff first, so I can end this blog on a happy note.

So, you know the friends that we're in Colorado with? Well, one of them, Tara, has had cancer for a little while. For some time, they thought it was gone, but she was just tested on Friday, and the results came in today -- the cancer is back, and this time, it's all over her body. She's not going to try chemo again, she's decided. If she did, she might live for six months, though it would be in pain. If she doesn't, she'll live her last four months in peace, which would be nice.

Tomorrow, she's going skiing with us, thank goodness. I'm going to take my camera and take a shootload of pictures, because I want her to remember tomorrow. Chances are, she won't be back next year, and I want to make the most of it.

I just think it's so unfair, you know? This past year, we've already lost two friends to cancer, and now she's gonna move on soon. It seems like these days, death is so close. :/

But, you know, they're all dealing with it well. If you could keep her and her family in your prayers, though, that would be nice.

'Kay, other than that, my day was good. Skiing is fun, even though I'm horrible at it. Hey - I'm an uncoordinated Florida girl that only comes here once a year to ski for four days, so I've got my reasons.

I was on the chair lift with this little boy, and he asked me which chair we were on, since they have numbers on them, and I told him it was number seven. Then he asked me why, and I told him because seven was a lucky number. Our conversation from then on?

"Is eight lucky?"
"Sure is."
"What about nine?"
"Yup."
"And ten?"
"Yess."
"What about eleven?"
"Yeah."
"I think twelve is lucky. Is it?"
"Of course."
"Is thirteen lucky?"
"Yes..."
"And fourteen?"
"Yeah."
"Fifteen?"
"NO, FIFTEEN IS NOT A FREAKIN' LUCKY NUMBER SO SHUT UP."

I didn't say that, but I wanted to. We got all the way to 52. -sigh-

I watched Titanic last night. It made me cry, and not a lot of movies do that. It wasn't the whole Jack and Rose story that did it (yes, that was sad too. xD), but it was just... seeing all those people, jumping off the boat to save themselves, people commiting suicide, people doing anything they could to survive. And then at the end, when they showed a close up of that dead person in the water? That was just creepy.

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT WHEN I PRESS THE CAPS LOCK KEY, IT MAKES A COOL SOUND AND I'VE BEEN TRYING IT OUT FOR FIVE MINUTES NOW AND IT'S REALLY REALLY FUN.

Hmm...

I've really got nothing else to say. I should get to sleep, though. I have to get up early tomorrow.

Skiing or snowboarding?

Have you ever seen Titanic? In Chicago it was playing, but my mom didn't want to watch it, so whenever she was in the bathroom (she kept going in and out) I'd flick on the channel. I saw all the sad parts. D:
Do you like the name of my blog right now? Yes, I do.
Did you prefer "Her Name is Ave"? *shrug* I like 'em both.
