My first christmas

I am spending my first christmas with Tom in Tampa. The holiday has been a lot of fun so far, Tom got a cold though :( He’s feeling better now, so that’s good, but now my nose is all blocked and stuff… I think I caught whatever he had… Oh well :) Tom is trying to figure out what I’m getting him for xmas, but I am being good this time, I always let him know what I’m getting him for birthdays and stuff because I suck at keeping secrets, but I’m being good this time. He has a bunch of stuff for me in the trunk, but he won’t let me open it to see them, he hinted there were a couple of DVDs :-P  I’m a bit worried about the fact that my sleep schedule and that of Tom are completely out of sink, I don’t even start reading until late at night, and usually he’s asleep at that time, but we have a strong relationship, that won’t affect it. okay, that’s all for now, I should get back to reading about construct state now… 

Forgetting

It’s been three years.  I just realized that I had forgotten for a whole week that it had happened. In the back of my head, I had plans to hang out with her. For a whole week, not a dream, not a thought, nothing that reminded me that she was dead. The usual formula is that every week, at least one night, I dream that she came back from the dead and that we spent a whole day together, and that at the end of the day she had to return… and even though that was a constant reminder of her death, I guess it gave me my dose of ‘her’ time… My mind operated as if I left Lebanon when she was still alive, and just like everyone else back there, she’s just there and we just haven’t talked for a while. In the back of my mind there were plans to be with her while I’m in Tripoli. I just re-realized that she’s gone. I feel as if it had just happened again.  It feels terrible.I think what started this was the facebook message from the group I used to hang out with at the time at AUB.. the people from the theater class…
