I have some catching up to do....

Wow! it's been such a long time... Being a senior can be seriously time consuming. I mean you have AP classes, boys, scholarships, college applications, new pets, parties, caps and gowns, class rings, senior pictures, last highschool year drama and so much more. To be honest, it's exhausting. I am so glad I remembered about this blog but I'm quite surprised that even after such a long time of me not talking to you guys I still don't get any feedback on my thoughts. Maybe you don't know I exist. If that's the case I really should figure out how to promote myself to the Internet eye. Well I'll deal with that when I get to it. I was rereading some of my old posts to remind myself of thoughts I already typed up and realized that there's something I forgot to mention in my talk about embalming. Well you know how I mentioned the fact that it's probably really creepy for a foreigner to come to an American funeral because the deceased look like they are going to just open their eyes and jump out of the casket? I was also thinking that Americans who love this kind of thing (not saying Americans love death mind you) must be crazy masochistic. My reasoning for that is simple. Okies so you have a special person who just passed away right? That person is taken to a funeral home, paid for, and left to the artists. Well if these so called artists do such an amazing job of making the body look alive, then aren't they just causing more suffering and confusion? I mean if I lost a loved one I would probably be in denial. So I'm in denial and then all of a sudden I see that loved one looking as though he/she is just asleep. I would be confused and I think I might just go crazy and be like, "Let him/her out! Can't you see he/she won't be able to breathe? Can't you see you're going to kill him/her!?" and frankly that's disturbing. So those who pay for this must be masochistic to hurt themselves by believing that their loved ones are alive by paying for the artist makeover... Did that make any sense? I don't really know but it did in my head. If you need a nice explanation just leave some way to contact you. An email address actually. And I will get back to you with a well rehearsed explanation and elaboration. Thanks you all. I Love you guys lol. See you soon. Or in my next post which might be in about ten minutes...
