She was the best friend I ever had, and WILL ever have. She died at my apartment, or between my apartment and the hospital. I was with her the rainy Chicago day that she died, and I found her in the morning and was the one who called 911. I am so sorry I didn't know that she needed help, I would have given my life to save hers. I miss her, and I was stunned to find a reference to her here, online. Any friend of hers knows what an incredible, resiliant person she was. She had so many obstacles in her life, and somehow got through even the worst of them while remaining the best friend a person could possibly ask for. If you want to, please feel free to contact me. My e mail is (removed for your safety)  Anyone who wants laura's email, just drop me a note and i'll send it to you.  calan(AT)(gingerdead)DOT(com)  i just don't want to post it here due to spiders and spammers.  my email's already slammed with that crap no reason for laura to get hit as well. -Laura I met Crystal when we were both in 8th grade.

Hope you guys get it! "She sliced off my wrists!" Mickey said off-handedly. :D Why did she die? I mean, illness, natural causes? I don't mean to intrude, just curious... Always live life to The fullest. Especially By stealing Mouse Hands. Well, I’ll give you a Tom Swifty for you trouble. Hope you guys get it!

Maybe she'd have liked that. I would. Mickey always was
one to lend a hand to friends
he won’t miss them–much

gloves?) of Icon-hood

No joke there. I hate singing that. But i especially hate having it sung to me. I agree with you on the letting go of regrets. Please do make it into a postcard. If it would fit i would say a shirt as well. Take care. LOL the birthday song. No joke there. I hate singing that. But i especially hate having it sung to me.

Elizabeth - love it! thank YOU Emily - thanks for posting and welcome. keep on milking it, sister ;) Gabe - clappity clap clap Sera - Obligatory clapping or laughter is kinda lame. It's up there with having to fake smile for a photo (which i mostly refuse to do), but perhaps nothing is as bad as the Birthday Song. I loathe it. Matthew - thanks. i kinda love this comic to be honest...might be the next postcard. i agree with everything you said. as for the regrets, don't bother having those. it's useless. live - learn - grow it's those dumb ass things you do that you grow from if you let yourself, that's why i can't subscribe to regrets. to me it indicates i'm hanging on to a mistake instead of learning from it.
