MyNameIsTAWM: ok
MyNameIsTAWM: tell me
MyNameIsTAWM: i really wanna know
Mystra1215: Hahahahaha
Mystra1215: So, like, you just started thinking about the what happens whne you die and what if there's nowhere you go and stuff, right?
MyNameIsTAWM: pretty much
MyNameIsTAWM: sorry if im slow
MyNameIsTAWM: im writing about the death of a friend
MyNameIsTAWM: :'(
MyNameIsTAWM: ms word says your middle name is spelled wrong
Mystra1215: Hahaha, it;s okay.,
Mystra1215: And MS word is WRONG.
MyNameIsTAWM: it suggests eyeliner as a replacement
Mystra1215: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
MyNameIsTAWM: :-)
Mystra1215: So, I was trying to remember when I first realized that
Mystra1215: And I realized that it was one of those things that stuck with me.
Mystra1215: Like, I remember perfectly what I was doing when I found out Emily was moving away
Mystra1215: Or when I found out my cat was dead.
Mystra1215: Or when I got my first letter from Sam after she moved.
Mystra1215: It was one of those things.
MyNameIsTAWM: yeah
Mystra1215: And so, this is what I remember:
Mystra1215: I came home from skool all pissed of cuz Mrs. Matthews had taken away my totally cool notebook (I'd covered the front with pretty cloth and stuff) because I was writing a letter to one of my friends about how mean she [Matthews] was because she took my book away cuz I was reading it when she was trying to teach us how to do some math stuff [which I'd taught myself a LONG time before that].
Mystra1215: So I went down to the apple orchard and climbed up one of the trees and grabbed onto a branch that stuch out and was swinging from it nad being mad.
Mystra1215: And then I started thinking about what would happen if I went up to the top of the tree and was swinging and lost my grip and fell
Mystra1215: And if Mrs. Matthews would be sorry that she'd taken away my stuff.
Mystra1215: And then I realized that I was gonna die some day.
Mystra1215: Like, ya know how when it finally hits you that you're not invincible, when it hits you for real, it's this HUGE shock?
Mystra1215: Well, not huge.
Mystra1215: But it's still shocking and kind of numbing and sobering.
MyNameIsTAWM: well you know it all along, but when u come to realize it, it is really scary.
MyNameIsTAWM: if that makes sense...
Mystra1215: Yeah, that's what I mean.
Mystra1215: So, I let go of the branch and landed on the ground and sat down under the tree, all shocked and a bit freaked out
Mystra1215: And was like Oh, but it's okay cuz I'll go to heaven. Wait... what if there's no heaven? What if it's just like before I was born?? What if I just... stop being?
Mystra1215: So, not only had I just realized I was gonna die
Mystra1215: But that there might not be somewhere that I go and keep my consciousness and stuff.
Mystra1215: I might just... cease to exist.
Mystra1215: Mrs. Matthews was my first grade teacher.
Mystra1215: I was 7.
Mystra1215: Does that make me a freak?
Mystra1215: Cuz, I mean, what kind of 7-year-old thinks about that stuff?
Mystra1215: And, like, would I've been a different person had I not known that till a reasonably old age?
Mystra1215: Like now?
MyNameIsTAWM: whoa h/o
MyNameIsTAWM: i was writing about all your inventions
Mystra1215: Hahahha
MyNameIsTAWM: naw i thought of that stuff pretty young too. you're jsut really smart and philosophical and thought about this stuff before most kids do.
MyNameIsTAWM: and yeah thats what scares the hell of me, that i might just cease to exist
MyNameIsTAWM: an eternity of nothing...
Mystra1215: Yeah, it still freaks me out.
Mystra1215: A lot.

my poor dead nire
well i was expecting that when jocelyn told me you had posted this convo. but its actually not that bad. i didnt say anything too dumb or ridiculous. and i love our parallel conversations...
anyways, heres that obituary if anyone wants to read it:
Erin Eveline McLaughlin, a girl who made 1.2 million dollars with her invention of windshield wipers for glasses, died Saturday after choking on a carrot. She was 17 years old.
Erin invented many different things, including a dog watch, a foot elevator, and a kissing shield. “She was extremely creative and often seemed lost in her own world,” her father, William McLaughlin said.
Erin genuinely cared about the world in which she lived. She had little use for the money she earned from her inventions, and donated most of it to local animal shelters. “She had 17 cats and absolutely adored animals,” Jonathon Cass, her boyfriend said through his tears.
Erin was born in Worcester, Massachusetts on December 15, 1986. She went to school in her hometown of Douglas for 11 years, before attending the Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science, in Worcester. She was a student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute at the time of her death.
In 1998 she won the school science fair for her research and stunning breakthroughs on a safer bicycle helmet. In 2000 she won the Young Inventor’s award for her invention of windshield wipers for eyeglasses. From there, her business took off and she sold them by the dozens.
“Erin was a beautiful, dedicated, brilliant child taken too soon from this world,” her mother, Cheryl McLaughlin, said on Saturday, “if she had lived to adulthood, I’m sure she would have made history and turned this world into a better place.”
Erin is survived by her parents, Cheryl and William McLaughlin, her sister Kerry, and brother Jeremy.
Friends and family may call from 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 p.m. on Monday at The Village Congregational Church, 1020 Falls Road in Whitinsville, MA. The funeral will be held on 2 p.m. Tuesday at The Village Congregational Church with the Rev. James Barys officiating. Burial will follow in the Rolling Hills Cemetary.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, for you to make a donation to your local animal shelter.
this is officially the longest comment ever.
Re: my poor dead nire
And I edited out certain stuff from the convo that might've been objectional to other people reading. I hope I got it all...
