Grief is Like an Alligator-Skin Bag

GAH!
You know when you're sitting there, contemplating the wonders of life, and then BAM! this pile of grief just hits you like a ton of bricks? Well gosh darn, that just happened to me!
Not grief as in the type that someone gives you when you give them the wrong pudding cup, but the type like Happy Feet felt in the movie when he's in the zoo and is hallucinating his family. That's a horrible type of grief. And, though I am not a penguin [ :c ], I can totally imagine what it's like. Minus the hallucination, people staring at me through glass, and being in a zoo not indigenous to me. But whatever.
So I'm all like sitting here and stuff and then I started craving popcorn. Which happens often, though not as much as lasagna.
So yeah, sitting here and then BAM! like a ton of bricks!
I was with my bes' fran this one time at the mall, just chillin' on a bench when she went to get some popcorn- that really groovy kind from Kernels with the Tex-Mex seasoning or whatever. [It's way good, you should get yourself some.] She bought it, we made small talk about popcorn, and then continued on with our teenaged lives assessing passerby's fashion and the latest Teen Vogue.
Well gee whiz, do I ever miss that popcorn and that girl!!
I read her blog a little while ago.

She's lovely.
But she doesn't update very often.
Kind of like myself.
But she's much lovelier.

Love to your mother.

The pain I feel isn't quite like seeing an acquaintance made into a human-skinned satchel, but it is surprisingly close!
