Hi,my name's Ruth. Oh, full name? Ruth Andrea Zadora. I know, I know, could I possibly sound any more Jewish? Thing is, my parents aren't even practising Judaism, or at least they weren't last time I checked.... Oh well, maybe they felt guilty or something, I don't know. I can't really ask them either.... Well, no, I don't speak to them. Because they're dead. Don't give me that 'I'm so sorry' shit. Unless you personally did it, I don't wanna hear it. It seems to be a conditioned response, but it's entirely unnecessary for the most part. Most people didn't even know them, so why should they be sorry? … Sorry, I'm ranting again... I do that a lot... Well, not a lot, but I definitely at least do it sometimes.... OK, OK, I'm sorry. What were you saying? What happened? You really want to know? They got ploughed, side on, by a snow plough with its machinery raised. Neither of them had lights on. I mean, it wasn't dark, but it was snowing and no-one was really paying attention, and it just happened. So unless you're that driver, don't tell me you're sorry. My birthday's the eighth of August, and next year, I'll be twenty. Yep, I graduated high school, just like almost every other student ever in the history of the world. It's not an achievement, at least here in America. It's something that's just done so you can move on with your life. And I have. I dunno if it's for the better, but I've moved, which is a start. Not literally though – I still live in my parents' house. The only difference is that there isn't a mortgage to pay off, and I live with my boyfriend. He moved in so I didn't have to be on my own, ain't that sweet? His name is Gage and he'll be 23 next month. Dunno what to get him yet but-- What? Isn't he too old? No!! There's only three and a half years in it! Whatever, it doesn't even matter what you think anyway. He's a musician in his spare time, and he works full time as a tattoo artist – he has his own studio. I mean, I loaned him the money for it, but it's his. Don't tell him I told you. I'm not supposed to mention that. I work part time in a restaurant, and part time in a shop, but I still only end up doing about thirty hours a week. It's not enough, but it's all I can find at the moment... When I'm not working, I spend a lot of my time at home with Gage. We watch films, I listen to his new songs, then, of course, there's all the normal house-type stuff to do – cleaning, cooking, the domestic type things, y'know? Oh, and a LOT of shopping. I don't really know where it all goes because neither of us are fat, but I seem to do a lot of food shopping. He has to buy his own beer, because I'm not old enough, but that's not the point.... I guess I have a few friends. You know, just people I see around and about Velocity. I don't often stop to chat, though, because I'm usually busy doing something. They all understand, though. I still text them and call them when I can, and sometimes I instant message them, even though that's not really my thing. Every so often I go over to someone's house, or they come over here, but it's not really a regular thing. Just whenever Gage is busy with something else, really. You know, band practise or working late or something. He doesn't always tell me where is, but he usually tells me when he's on his way back. I guess I'm quite quiet, really. I don't often make new friends, but I can. I just haven't really been given the opportunity, that's all. And a lot of my old friends from school would still be around if I needed them, I'm sure of it! I mean, it was only last year! People can't grow out of friendships that fast, can they? I see what you're saying, but I haven't stopped being friends with them. If they ever needed anything, I'd be there for them. What? Yes, even if Gage didn't want me to. At the end of the day, my friends are my friends, and they're supposed to be able to rely on me. Gage may not be here five years from now, especially if he gets that record deal that he's been wanting. I understand that, but for now, I love him and I'm happy he's here and doing what he wants and stuff. awww, do i have to?
