…… that when someone in your family dies, your people either ignore your straight because they don’t know what to say (or are too scared they’d start a flood of tears perhaps?)… or if they do express condolences they say “if you need anything just shout”… and then that’s the last you hear of them too!
I’m not going to break into 1000 pieces, everybody deals with their own grief in their own way.. talk to me like you used to before, i don’t have leprosy.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
A more enjoyable job?
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2010?

My best friends..
38. Who was the best new person you met?

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010.
A little chilling the fuck out goes a loooong way. Forgiveness was also pretty cool..
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year?
“what am i supposed to do when the best part of me was always you” … the script – breakeven. A big argument came to a head with the hubby and i, and we made it thru the other side
