It's supposed to rain tomorrow and Thursday. Maybe that will wash the pollen away. Of course, then I will have to deal with worms on the sidewalk. I do like to walk in a light spring rain...I just hate dodging the worms.
The choir sang the Pie Jesu from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem, in memory of the victims at Virginia Tech. There wasn't a dry eye in the congregation. I hadn't sung that in years. I'm usually part of the duet. I wasn't used to the chorus! I got through it fine, though.
I read through my dad's Phi Mu Alpha alumni magazine the other day. A member from Colorado State who graduated the same year I did was listed in the "Final Chord"- in other words, he had died. I should know who he was. I feel really bad. ΦΜΑ and ΔΟ brothers/sisters at my school were really close. We had some good times. I wonder why I don't remember this guy?
All the VT kids from my church are staying with that girl and her parents- they have a condo there. I can only imagine what they're feeling right now.
I missed choir tonight. I was in too much pain from my head and neck. I hope my doctor can do something for me. I really can't deal with this pain. It's been almost constant for the past three days.

I was up part of the night. I'm still so sick about what happened at VT yesterday. The names of the victims are starting to be released. So many bright lights snuffed out because of one madman. I just can't get my mind around it.

33 dead now. And it's officially the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. What a thing for people to think of when they think of Virginia Tech, an excellent school.

There's been a mass shooting at Virginia Tech. The latest on CNN says that there are 20 confirmed deaths with 17 more injured. The entire campus is in lockdown.
20?! How could that have happened? And why did the apparently dead gunman do it?
I'll post more when I know more.
The latest from yahoo. It gets worse by the minute. 22 dead now.

I have tears running down my face right now. I never believed there would be another mass school shooting like Columbine. This is even worse. And in my home state, no less. A lot of kids from my town go to VaTech. I hope no one I know was hurt. Please, please, pray for the victims and their families. 
Edit- the death toll is now 25. Jesus.
Another edit. 32 confirmed dead. This is now the deadliest school shooting ever. It's worse than the Texas and Montreal shootings combined. God dammit.
