It is horrible, I know... I wish it would end up with Jimmy running out of the forest screaming "Ten years was too long! I got tired of it after ten months!" or something like that... It still doesn't seem real that he's not here anymore.

I know... fuck... when they released the video for Nightmare, the last nine seconds of it tore me apart. I was perfectly fine until then. I'm just in awe.

Oh god, I know. That last part just killed me. I told myself through the entire video that the Jimmy references wouldn't hurt me, they wouldn't make me cry... Then it got to the end and my sister and I both immediately burst into tears.

I did the exact same thing, I even laughed when I saw Johnny clambering above Matt, and at the time that I watched it, I was with my friend Quinn. When the doors opened to reveal Jim's drum set, I just fucking lost it. And Quinn just wrapped her arms around me and let me cry into her chest. I usually never cry, because I've taught myself to be tough, and Jimmy passing away just makes my heart crumple.

I thought of Afterlife right away, too... It really sucks when people don't understand a loss. Even though they may not have liked him, Jimmy meant something to a lot of people... Ignore the ones who think that it's stupid that you miss him. The Rev was a part of your life, and it's only natural to be hurting.

I completely understand that, but it's a little hard to do when it's your family. The day that Jimmy passed away, my mom didn't even care that I was crying, which was for a couple of days. Only one person from my family understood, everyone else just ignored me. I don't understand any of them, it's like I'm a disgrace to the family, all because I listen to A7X, dress in dark clothes, and don't ride horses. My family is made up of mostly hicks. Not fun. But I'm glad that I'm going to be graduating high school soon.

Oh god, that does sound awful... The only similarity I have to that is my mom hates my taste in music and she thinks I should dress "girlier and more appropriately" instead of in dark colors and band tee shirts/accessories. *sigh* It will be a good thing for you to graduate high school if you have to deal with that sort of stuff...

That's how my mom is with me as well, and she only gets her way when we go to church on Sunday. It's really becoming tiresome. My dad's okay with who I listen to, considering he tried to win me tickets to the Uproar festival, but no such luck, yet.

My dad's really good about it, too. It's because of him that I've ordered my Book of Nightmares. Mom was all against the idea, but my dad just asked me what he needed to do and was willing to help out as long as I gave him the cash. He really loves metal and such, himself. I don't get my mom, though... I don't see why she doesn't like A7X when she says she really likes rock and metal. It's really confusing.
