Moar icons, right in time to start the news ones, hehe.

Usual rules apply blah blah blah

More icons, of course. Yes I know most of these are probably wasted effort. :) But it gives me a challenge and helps me become better.

( Icons! )

Well I mean, THIS is the last of top 16, since LJ doesn't want me to put them all together. :)

Here are the rest of my top 16 icons, just in time to get absorbed in all the top 14 ones, hahah.

Enjoy.

It was 2 years ago today my one and only sister died. It doesn't feel like that long.

I'm doing all right. In the grips of insomnia last night it was worse because it was in the middle of the night, early 7/1 two years ago when I got the call. In the daylight it feels less scary.

I keep moving on. I keep swallowing the loss. It's what I do. But I just wanted to take the moments to remember her and say I had a great sister, she loved me, and she left us too soon.



(With Dad, who passed within a few months of this picture.)

Here are some from the top 18 group routine and top 16 performances. I will have another post hopefully in the next few days with the rest of the people from top 16.

( To the icons! )

Today is my sister's birthday. She would have been 36. But she's frozen forever at 34. Next year is going to be really weird for me when I turn 34. There's something so very wrong about growing older than your big sister.

Wednesday (7/1) will be the second anniversary of her death. Having these two things so close together makes for quite an emo week.

A year ago today I got the tattoo on the back of my neck with her name. I'm not going to do anything quite so involved this year but I will be quietly keeping her in my mind and heart. Maybe I'll have tacos. That was always her requested birthday dinner from dad. Well, sometimes it was corned beef and cabbage but that's a bit involved for me today! (Mine was beef stroganoff.)

I still feel like we're just in one of those periods where we haven't called each other in a while. I still experience things and think "I need to tell Lynette about that." And in that moment I honestly believe I can just call her up and we'll chat. I still can hear her voice perfectly in my head. I'm glad I haven't lost that.

Happy Birthday, Lynette. Hope you blasted the Beatles as always this morning.

Heh I've been making SYTYCD icons for days. I wanted to make some for everyone in the top 18, even if they're eliminated now. :) I ended up with over 300, eep! Had to split it up into two parts because LJ said it was too big.

Because I am stressed and avoiding work.
