Over the weekend my parents and I were talking about horseback riding and I said I never wanted to ride a horse because horses kill people. My parents kind of looked at me weird and I said, "well they do, they killed Christopher Reeve" and my parents both decided that I was kind of right.
Oddly enough, this morning the news said Christopher Reeves wife died of lung cancer. She had never smoked a cigarette in her life. Isn't that amazing? This news really saddened me, more than any news has in a long time. I immediately thought of their son and how sorry I felt for him. He's like 15 years old and the only father he knew was a man in a wheel chair who needed help breathing and well, basically functioning day to day and then, not even two years later his mother has died. I don't know what I would do and I can't even imagine what he must be feeling.
Here is something to end this a little lighter. Over the weekend, I got online and this guy who I kind of liked and tried to ask out a while back was online too. I kind of felt like Carrie, in that episode of Sex and the City when Aidan got online and she ducked down because she thought he could see her.
I didn't duck down or anything, but I was a little shocked. It seems as though sometimes, even when I don't mean to, I internet stalk people.
I wonder if anyone internet stalks me? I mean, besides that annoying girl I knew in college.

I'm obsessed with the Reeve thing. In November she was like singing and interviewing in her wig and saying she's good. Then, 3 months later, she's dead.
I also think it's sweet that they are dancing in heaven together, like it's her reward for being world's best wife. And, what if all the equipment around Chris is waht caused her cancer? Is her son in danger?
And, I'm thining being 13 sucks anyway, but to have your dad, gma and mom all die in about a year...yikes. He's therapy bound. I hope he doesn't turn into River Phoenix. Maybe he'll just take over for his parents and advance research for both of their causes. It's all very overwhelming...and makes me realy think about my vows to Kaleb.
