| Help me with a class project. |

Hey guys--
I'm in a class where we're trying to re-imagine the movie theater. I went to the local movie theater and tried to interview people and they just were not having it. So if any of you could do me a huge favor and fill out this short survey (you don't have to answer all the questions, but the more you do, the more you help my team!), it'll only take like 5 minutes and I'll really appreciate it.
I know for all you college kids it's midterm time and everyone needs another way to procrastinate, so here it is!

Thanks so much!!! |

If you read this livejournal,
even if I dont speak to you often,
post a memory of me.
it can be anything you want.
it can be good or bad,
just so long as it happened.
then post this in your journal.
see what people remember about you.
Yup, I'm a lemming. I'm doing it too.
But, you know what?
It's my birthday and you have to do what I say. Isn't that how it works?
Love y'all. |

Yay for excitement and for putting papers off.
1. Reply with your name and I will write something about you.
2. I will then tell what song(s) remind me of you.
3. Next, I will tell you who you remind me of, celebrity/animated or otherwise.
4. Lastly, I will try to name a single word that best describes you.
5. Put this in your journal. |

God saw that he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around him and whispered "Come Home with Me."
With tearful eyes we watched him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, a determined spirit was at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
That was in Neil's profile. I think it fits perfectly, but we never saw Dan really start to fade away. He was just as vibrant last Tuesday as he was last semester, just a little sadder to be leaving us.
Anyways, his showing is tomorrow and the funeral is Wednesday. This is a sad week.
There was an article in the Observer today.

Even sadder update.
Last night I was in my room watching movies. This morning I woke up at 10:30, went to work from 12-4. At about five till 4, Matt, Katie, and Neil came over. I sat down with them as soon as I got off of work. After some small talk about the Steelers game, I noticed something weird. I asked, "So, how did Dan's surgery go? Did you hear anything?"
Matt was quiet. Eventually he heard the words I'll never forget. Dan died.
How could Dan have died? He was so nonchalant about his surgery this weekend getting a pacemaker put in. Matt e-mailed him asking when he'd be back and about his surgery. He said it was Friday and it was just an overnight surgery. That he'd be back Saturday and he'd be back to campus next week to pick up the rest of his stuff. I guess Dan's uncle had called the Keough rector this morning. Father Dan, incidentally, then went and woke Matt up along with Dan's roommates, Peter and Brendan. Matt came and told Katie and eventually me.
No one really knows how it happened yet. During the surgery, as a result of the surgery, we don't know.
What I do know is that nothing is going to be the same without Dan. Me, Matt, Katie, Neil, and Brendan went and just sat in his room exchanging "Dan Stories."
Dan was one of the most vibrant people I know. Everyone says this about people, but his laugh was literally contagious. Matt would say something stupid, Dan would find it hilarious and giggle to no end, and eventually the whole room would just be rolling in laughter because of his laugh. He never made you feel guilty or sad for him about his heart problem. Hardly anyone truly knew how severe his heart problem was because if anyone ever asked him what was wrong he merely said he had a "bad heart". To my knowledge, he's had numerous surgeries and at least one heart transplant. He was waiting for another one. He was so patient. The night before the engineering exam he taught about 5 different people a whole semester of engineering individually. He was studying something else, but he kept stopping just to teach people hexadecimal and binary and Huffman's Codes. And he didn't mind. He taught me how to play Halo. He always let me play even though I was absolutely horrible and got killed more than anyone else. He loved to take tests. The only person I knew that LOVED to take tests. I remember he would get so excited on test days, because to him tests were FUN. All you had to do was pick the right answer.
He was the kind of person I wish I could be like. He cared about the important things and didn't stress over things that ultimately didn't matter. I wish I could do the same. Just not worry about things because it's a waste of time and life. Dan loved life. That's why it's so sad to think that it was taken away from him so soon.
There are so many things that Dan never got to experience. A date, love, any kind of sports...but yet he never complained. I don't know how I would have lived his life. I would have been a complaining little bitch, always feeling like I'd been ripped off by God. Not Dan. Dan was religious, happy to at least have what he did have.
I can't write anymore.
I'll probably update again at a later time with more Dan Stories.
But for now, please, become an organ donor. There's no reason not too. One of my closest friends is now gone partially because he didn't get a heart that he desperately needed.

Go there and register. Please.
RIP Dan. You are truly loved and truly missed. |

Well, I open this post with some sad news. Tonight I found out that one of my closest friends I've made at ND is not coming back for the next semester. No, not because of his grades, or too much partying, but because he needs a heart transplant. I guess he's been on "The List" for the majority of his life. After numerous surgeries and an inability to do anything physical, he still landed in the hospital this break due to heart failure. Because he doesn't want to strain his heart anymore than necessary, he's decided to take this semester off. He's coming back next semester if he gets his transplant. He's such an awesome guy, I've never heard him once complain about his health condition. He stays active through video games and his religion. He's got an awesome family, and a knack for engineering. I'm really going to miss him.
Please, sign up to be an organ donor. Death isn't something we like to think about, but if our death can contribute to a healthy happy life for another person, in essence we get the joy of life twice over. If you're hesitant because you don't want mad scientists working on your body, you can specify that you do not want your body used for medical research. Please. Do this for all the people out there who deserve a full chance at life. |
