The day you slipped away was the day I found it won't be the same...

This deserves to be a public entry:


Story Highlights
• Police chief says at least 22 people are dead; AP reports 31
• Four hospitals report 29 wounded
• Attacks mark deadliest school shooting in U.S. history
• Student describes situation as "mayhem"; says 2 students jumped from window

(CNN) -- A lone gunman is dead after police said he killed at least 21 people Monday during shootings in a dorm and a classroom at Virginia Tech -- the deadliest school attack in U.S. history.

Government officials told The Associated Press that the death toll had grown to 31, including the gunman. CNN is working to confirm the report.

It was not clear if the gunman was killed by police or if he took his own life.

"Some victims were shot in a classroom," university police Chief Wendell Flinchum said of the shootings, which occurred two hours apart.

Police believe there was only one gunman, Flinchum said. (Watch the police chief explain where bodies were found Video)

Spokespersons for hospitals in Roanoke, Christiansburg, Blacksburg and Salem told CNN that they were treating 29 people from the shootings.

Sharon Honaker with Carilion New River Medical Center in Christiansburg said one of the four gunshot victims being treated there was in critical condition.

"Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," said university President Charles Steger. "The university is shocked and indeed horrified." (Map of Blacksburg)

The killings mark the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, surpassing attacks at Columbine High School in 1999 and at the University of Texas in 1966.

One person was killed and others were wounded at multiple locations inside a dormitory about 7:15 a.m., Flinchum said. Two hours later, another shooting at Norris Hall, the engineering science and mechanics building, resulted in multiple casualties, the university reported. (Campus map)

The first reported shooting occurred at West Ambler Johnston Hall, a coed dormitory that houses 895 students. The dormitory, one of the largest residence halls on the 2,600-acre campus, is located near the drill field and stadium.

Amie Steele, editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper, said one of her reporters at the dormitory reported "mass chaos."

The reporter said there were "lots of students running around, going crazy, and the police officers were trying to settle everyone down and keep everything under control," according to Steele. (Watch police, ambulances hustle to the scene Video)

Kristyn Heiser said she was in class about 9:30 a.m. when she and her classmates saw about six gun-wielding police officers run by a window.

"We were like, 'What's going on?' Because this definitely is a quaint town where stuff doesn't really happen. It's pretty boring here," said Heiser during a phone interview as she sat on her classroom floor.
Student reports 'mayhem'

Student Matt Waldron said he did not hear the gunshots because he was listening to music, but he heard police sirens and saw officers hiding behind trees with their guns drawn.

"They told us to get out of there so we ran across the drill field as quick as we could," he said.

Waldron described the scene on campus as "mayhem." (Watch a student's recording of police responding to loud bangs Video)

"It was kind of scary," he said. "These two kids I guess had panicked and jumped out of the top-story window and the one kid broke his ankle and the other girl was not in good shape just lying on the ground."

Madison Van Duyne said she and her classmates in a media writing class were on "lockdown" in their classrooms. They were huddled in the middle of the classroom, writing stories about the shootings and posting them online.

The university is updating its more than 26,000 students through e-mails, and an Internet webcam is broadcasting live pictures of the campus.

The shootings came three days after a bomb threat Friday forced the cancellation of classes in three buildings, WDBJ in Roanoke reported. Also, the 100,000-square-foot Torgersen Hall was evacuated April 2 after police received a written bomb threat, The Roanoke Times reported.

Last August, the first day of classes was cut short by a manhunt after an escaped prisoner was accused of killing a security guard at a Blacksburg hospital and a sheriff's deputy.

After the Monday shootings, students were instructed to stay indoors and away from windows, police at the university said.

"Virginia Tech has canceled all classes. Those on campus are asked to remain where they are, lock their doors and stay away from windows. Persons off campus are asked not to come to campus," a statement on the university Web site said.

The university has scheduled a convocation for 2 p.m. ET Tuesday. In Washington, the House and Senate observed moments of silence for the victims and President Bush was reportedly "horrified" by news of the attacks.

"His thoughts and prayers are with them, and we are monitoring the situation," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

Before Monday, the deadliest school shootings came in 1966 and 1999.

In the former, Charles Joseph Whitman, a 25-year-old ex-Marine, killed 13 people on the University of Texas campus. He was killed by police.

In 1999, 17-year-old Dylan Klebold and 18-year-old Eric Harris -- armed with guns and pipe bombs -- killed 12 students and a teacher before killing themselves at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado.


RIP VTech students
Tomorrow is VTech Remembrance Day:
Wear maroon/orange (VTech's colors) to remember the victims and students at VTech.

My friend IM'ed me about this because last year, Virginia Tech was my 2nd choice for college. I almost went there...
May they RIP and heal together. Go Hokies!

In honor of VTech's Remembrance Day




I felt a connection to this school as my 2nd choice...and my acceptance...everyone please pray, this is the biggest school shooting ever.

We keep on waiting, waiting, waiting on the world to change...

One day our generation is gonna' rule the population...

I absolutely ♥ reading my old entries.
Such memories of being younger and so carefree are wonderful and rejuvinating. I wish I didn't let this fall apart and wrote as detailed as I did before. I think I will try to again, once I get my time management up and running better.Man, it kind of sucks that I didn't have as much drama in high school because now I have so much of it, it's overwhelming sometimes and it doesn't even pertain to me, just the people around me.Right now though, I'm working to get ahead and be on track. :] Ready, biatch.

I love how the one weekend I'm going home I hear of this big once-a-year party. UGH.

I am really excited to go home and just get a break from the drama&stress...school and dramatic people, though one of those dramatic people may be around...great. Hopefully, I stay in my awesome mood from today for tomorrow. Last night, Kim and I ate with George, Malcolm, and Paulyn. It was nice to eat with different people.

I am here to help the drama in my friend's lives. Break ups suck...:[ Feel better!

She said you don't know me, you don't even care...

You know what I realized? I'm really bad at maintaining anger with people. I can't hold grudges too well for the life of me. I think it's because my mother is the biggest grudge holder of all time, and I hate it.
 
The thing is though, it prevents me from living life like whatever, or fuck it, because I try not to care and I wind up caring and getting angry because of it, and it's really bad. I need a carefree attitude and to not care so much, but I am failing miserably. I wanted a new approach, and I am losing this emotional war with myself. I can't not care, I just do, and sometimes a lot, and it freaks me out how angry I get because I do. Though I wouldn't say to worry because it probably won't be for long.

I also hate nonchalant attitudes all the time. Yea, it's good to have occassionally, but all the time? God, just admit you care for once or something, take a step and apologize, cause Lord knows I'm not good at portraying that I wish this in person. Explaining things like this in person get me very flustered when I'm upset and I just can't. So there you are, I don't get over everything so easily with time, sometimes it helps a lot to get an apology.

I dislike nonchalant attitudes that older people have when you talk to them about their high school friends and you ask what happened to them and they're like, "Oh, you know, you just forget and move on...you grow out of it..." No, I don't know and get it and I really DON'T want to. I hate that attitude and because of it, I have become the cornball aka "the glue" or whatever. I really hate losing touch with people, although it is a two-way street, except for one or two people I'm friends with. My friend asked me that the other day, how I manage to see and keep in touch with people. I thought about it and I really don't know, but I just do because I like to and make time for them. So I can have these friends when I'm older still and my kids can meet them and I can be like, "This is ___, we've been friends since the 6th grade." or something along those lines. Like when I met Jasmine's friends from BK College, and they found out we've been best friends since 6th grade, it was like a stunner or something. Meanwhile, sitting there, raising my eyebrows, of course, I was thinking is it really that amazing? 6th grade isn't really that much of an amount of time to be friends. 7 years? It's really not THAT long, or that hard. But apparently it is. But I don't know, so pardon me if I like to keep in touch and try and get people together at things. Don't mind me for taking pictures. Pictures are a life story that help me keep in touch and intact. You'll thank me when you're 30 and I'm at your wedding with my specialty project scrapbooks containing memories on a page or two, and pictures you and I probably both hate and are grateful we changed for.

Sometimes, I ponder my ability to be in a relationship as well, a serious one. I say I want one and I think about it and then I'm not sure if I'm ready. I want that security and comfort, but I don't want to give up having fun and going out, or I don't want to be worried all the time and insecure that I have to check every move.  Ah well, we'll just see what comes with the time.

God, I hate guys, they make me analyze too much...

Life's hard...play dirty!

[[What goes around, goes around, goes around, goes it's way back around...]]

There are some things in life I really don't agree with. Yes, life's hard, get a helmet, but the principle that if you work hard and earnestly that you will get what you're going for is complete and utter bullshit, and sometimes, there's nothing you can do about it. Life's hard, play dirty is the real principle in the end, because, for the most part, work-wise, being earnest and hard-working can get you shit. That kind of has something to do with what I want to write about and kind of doesn't, but in the end, it's what it comes down to and what, sadly, I have learned to be true.

 I don't care WHAT or WHY, but it is wrong for you to force people to basically buy their grades. It disgusts me when I heard Ms. T was still forcing the ads upon the Journalism class, having increased it as well or their grades were endangered. You cannot coerce kids to sell ads for what you are lacking in the business department. When I was on the yearbook, I always disagreed with this. These kids may not even purchase the yearbook you are trying to force them to raise money for which is complete and utter bs. I know the yearbook needs funding and ads, but still, get the hell out. That is not by the system at all, and it will not be stopped, but it is wrong. So what if the kid fails selling ads? You punish their grade 'cause you can't do it yourself? You know what, have more fundraisers, or raise the price of the yearbook, but making them do something like this is fucking ridiculous. It's a horrible idea, and don't dare rant on my sister about this, because this is my opinion and has been since it started last year. What happened to the honesty of the system, it has been stabbed in the back. The worst part is journalism is supposed to be the righteousness for the world, and "for the people", the last representation of honesty and the truth, and this is the complete opposite.

I also am disgusted by the principal. I never liked her from my initial orientation since she said, "I always dreamed of working at a school with my name." If anyone starts off like that, it's never good. It appears as an attempt to grab already at what is not yours. Her bias is ridiculous. Not only did she send out propaganda by taking the school's mailing list and mailing us for her husband, she pulled out the king of cards and had her daughter transfer in.
After working hard in that school for 2 years, they came in to sweep it all out from under us. Hard work gets you far? Bullshit. This was becoming my elementary school nightmare all over again. I was supposed to be a head editor, and that was taken away from me and I was placed under some minute title. You wonder why I died the second half of the year? I spoke about it, kept my stand, saw where the favoritism lay after that whole Xanga incident and you know what? It made me see where it was and did not give me enough to care for. In the end, it did not end well from what I have heard on terms with one of the main editors. I said it and was ignored. That's what you get. People are not appreciated until others mess up. Life once again, is not fair. Not only that but there was the SO race, don't even get me into that. And like my dad said, "They'll be nice, but believe me they're playing their game to the fullest." And they are. Everyone loves them and I've heard of what school spirit they've had, you cannot have school spirit and KNOW Curtis when you've been there 2 years. No, you cannot.

Also, this principal had the audacity to try and humiliate my father at a recent meeting of the IB program saying that our school never told us there was such an IB program in place. In fact, you are lying, because we WERE misinformed. And the bias is disgusting. It really turned out being one of my worst years.

Then there are the coaches that favor certain players that they deem make a team. It doesn't matter if you show up to every practice and early and ask what you need to do, you are still put out and insulted. People in general disgust me. There will always be favoritism, even if they are not better in general. So you know what, after hearing of all this crap that is still going on and how corrupt Curtis is becoming under the dictator, I am telling you, speak up, write a letter, get a helmet. Also get some padding, because life's hard, play dirty.

Luckily, I am not letting my bad terms with journalism scar me for life and I am still pursuing it. I just needed to get that off my chest. Also, I am going to be that writer that only writes the truth and cannot be bought off or biased. I've had too much of this crap happen in my life, at school and to my family in other ways and I can't stand it. One person can try and make a difference.

Remember, this is just my opinion.

I never knew what I was missing...

Happy New Year!!
Overall GPA: 3.56...eh.
And I still have to update my birthday. Fun fun.
Went to the mall yesterday to catch up on some overdue Christmas gifts. Was pretty empty and funny when Leigh found she had 19 cents left in her checking account. Ouch. Anyway, I did pretty good with the catch up, one or two people left. Then Marc met us and we went to whatever and left. Then I walked to Kim's like old Friday nights, except it was Tuesday, and we picked up Juhyun and met Leigh, Jess and Marc at the Coffee&Tea Market. Talk about old times, it was nice. Haven't done that a while and walked up and down Forest Ave. Juhyun called everyone for a ride. Glenn was gonna' come but was low on gas, haha, thank you.

Yep, it was fun...then we walked home like old times, no driving...haha, walking like we used to. It's sad how I always want to drive everywhere now that I can, when before it was no big deal for me to walk. But whateverrrrr, and Leigh and I had these guys checking us out in the mall, gah, always some weirdos, very uncomfortable. Anywho, I'm proud of my gifts. Lol, still some more to get.
And for once again, like old times, there were more girls than guys on my part. And apparently, I'm a weirdo. :]
