Tipper is trying to help.
And by help I mean jump up on my leg and use her claws to climb into my lap.
She is sitting on both my leg and my desk right now, somehow.
Crystal Gomes, a close friend to me and so many others at CMU, passed away two days ago due to heart problems. Apart from the immense shock of the situation (she was 28), it’s absolutely heart breaking to all of us to have lost someone like Crystal. I’ve written and re-written this entry so many times, mainly because I’m not quite sure what I should say or what is appropriate to say right now. My heart goes out to her family and to Hunter, I would say I can only imagine what you’re going through, but I can’t even do that, I can’t even imagine.
What I do know, though, is how she impacted my life, my time at CMU, and specifically our last year together at school and how that’s carried through to how I live my life on a daily basis. She had so many quirky phrases and nuances that I often find myself mimicking… like finishing questions with a direct and dominant “yes or no?!” such as “Do you support the royal wedding, yes or no?!” She was also an avid supporter of Kate Middleton, which was an obsession she sparked within our group of friends. But something about her that I’ll never forget was that she was really, truly, at the bottom of it all, one of the best natured people I’ve ever known. At a place like CMU drama, there are certain behaviors and attitudes that run rampant because of the high stress of our academics. We’ve all been guilty of being selfish, jealous, and sometimes just mean, but Crystal was never any of those things. She treated everyone with such respect, never leaving people out or putting anyone down. She took her work both very seriously and at the same time not-to-seriously… I almost never heard her complain. She loved what she did and emitted that attitude to so many people around her. Even if someone in the school wasn’t her friend, they knew who she was, through her beautiful designs and her incredible personality.
She was a costume designer, and an incredibly talented one at that, but what I will remember her for the most was that she was a woman that, in my opinion, all women should strive to emulate. Living in Morocco as a woman is really difficult, and I get upset about how I can change and often think that sometimes I can’t. But then I think about the way Crystal inspired people, and it was never by direct and outright statements, but by leading by example. I think if we all put a little Crystal into our daily lives… into the way we do things and the way we treat other people, I think we would all be a little happier and the world would be a little bit better.
So to wine nights and royal weddings, to a beautiful soul and an incredible woman. You are so wonderful, we will all miss you more than you could ever know.
Well put, Maggie. Thank you for your grace, Gomes.
Amy Poehler’s high school hair is AWESOME.

It really is horrifying
that Kanye West got not only more flack, but a worse reputation for grabbing a microphone out of Taylor Swift’s hands and making a rude comment than Chris Brown did for beating his girlfriend until her face was unrecognizable.
#i also just want to make sure that everyone realizes that a big reason why this is #is because taylor swift is white and rihanna is not
#trufax
Well, on the flip side, many people only know Chris Brown as the man who beat up Rihanna. I’d say I still hear about that, I rarely hear about Kanye’s dumbassery anymore.
