Picture Request:
Someone asked me for this picture, so I'm tacking it on with this icons post so as not to clutter the community.



Old D.Gray-Minion University (ODGMU)

It'll be a collection of in character skits of the D.Gray-Man characters surviving college! I'm about to start my freshman year at Old Dominion University, so there will be plenty of inspiration and humor! I hope to post the first few tonight. They'll be posted in my regular journal, razeasha, for now. When I get an ample supply and figure out the link system...I'll probably post a bunch of them in one post here. Alas, they will not be among my other stories on fanfiction.net, because I try to keep the crack there minimal.

The "he" was my best male friend. He committed suicide 3 days before he would have turned 18. He talked to me about how he was not looking forward to his birthday...It's a long story that you probably don't want to hear...

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. That's horrible...but I'm sure he had a reason for doing it.
Just don't do the same!

He had a lot of reasons for doing it. He told me all of them the day that he did it, but didn't tell me that he was thinking of doing it. When we were talking, he said that he felt as if I was the only person that really cared about him. I was out walking my dog for a few minutes the last time he called me. Two minutes after he called me and did not get an answer, he was gone.

He found a very permanent solution for many temporary problems.

(The story gets crazier and sadder, but I don't know if it's time to say it all.)

I was suicidal about two years ago, but then I gained coping skills and life experience. After Josh's death, I know that I will never kill myself.

Well, that's life I guess. I think most people reach a point in their life where they feel a little bit suicidal...I've been there, you've been there, he was obviously there...I had a friend a lot like that, and I know that I'll never do myself in simply because what she did made such a big impact on my life.

I guess the best thing to say is that he's in a better place...

[razeasha.livejournal.com]

My beliefs are different...he will not reach that "better place" for a long time. He's got "a new lesson."

May I ask what your friend did?

[crimsonspiral.livejournal.com]

No offense to your beliefs, of course. I didn't mean it like that. To be honest, I'm borderline Atheist, but my family is Roman Catholic and I've been brought up that way, even if I think differently now.

She really didn't tell anybody about how bad she was feeling, and we really had no idea because she always put on a smile whenever people would see her or anything...I had plans for her to come over and spend the night, and I was talking to her twin brother on the phone while I waited for her to finish packing...after a while, though, he went to check on her and found that she'd done herself in with a knife from the kitchen. Not a butter knife, but one of those heavier ones that people keep in chopping blocks. It was so scary for everybody, and even more so because she decided that leaving us all messages and writing on the wall would be a nice way to be remembered.

I could never commit suicide now...not after all that.

[razeasha.livejournal.com]

My beliefs weren't offended by the way. I would probably be Buddhist, except for the fact that I kill bugs...

That sounds awful. Josh was much less dramatic. His younger brother heard the gunshot from the next room. We think that he was bipolar, but he was such a recluse that his family didn't notice. His girlfriend, Tori, who had broken up with him that day, is a very close friend of mine. She and I had been wondering if Josh was mentally OK, not nutty, but some emotional problems.

When they told me what happened at school the next day and asked me to take the day off, I refused. Tori didn't want to leave either, but her parents made her leave. (we were the only two informed ahead of time.) I remained at school, because I wanted to help all of the others who knew him to cope. I have seen death since I was 3 years old, so I am usually steeled to it. Josh was different. One of the last things that I told him was, "No matter what you do, or what choices you make, I will always love and support you." He made his decision, and I will have to support it for the rest of my life. I gave a speech at his service. (For the next week, people kept telling me how good my speech was. I really loved him.)

I found that the best way for me to cope was to help others. I also couldn't be alone for the next two weeks.

[crimsonspiral.livejournal.com]

That's so horrible...I'm sorry. I think that's wonderful that you chose to help the others, though. It's so kind of you.

[razeasha.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I really like to help others...Um...I don';t know what else to day here...
