Oh why oh why?<\/p>\n<p>Why did you do it, Cady?<\/p>\n<p>Oh man, I don\u2019t want to do this now.  It\u2019s late and I need to go to bed but\u2026 I just\u2026 I need to do this.  <\/p>\n<p>God damn it, Cady Groves.<\/p>\n<p>So\u2026 I finally looked through the finer details in my Cady archives.  Yeah, her brother was murdered.  She said so on twitter.  I have the screenshot.  And yeah, her other brother killed himself with drugs, and poor, dumb Cady was already calling her life over the day Kelly died.<\/p>\n<p>I know this, because I apparently was the one who got her through it.  I mean, I have the screenshots.  <\/p>\n<p>Yup, it was me.  Well\u2026 me, and her family, and friends, and everyone in her real life.  But- I was there too.  Indulge me, please.<\/p>\n<p>Alright.  It\u2019s one in the morning.  I just slapped a fentanyl patch on and popped a Norco.  I\u2019m tired and ready to scream until I puke, but let\u2019s do this, right fucking now.  I want this out of my system, God damn it.<\/p>\n<p>Fuck you, Cady Groves.  You are NOT doing\u2026 that, to me again.  Not tonight you aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Alright, let\u2019s begin.<\/p>\n<p>I found my twitter archives of how I helped Cady through Kelly\u2019s death and funeral.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1-300x290.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"290\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1-300x290.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1-768x743.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1.jpg 817w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There it is, bam.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2-300x229.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"229\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2-768x587.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fuck.  Well, whatever.  Ancient history now, I guess, but now I remember- this was the point where I basically jumped out of my chair in worry about Cady.  She was\u2026 very public about how vulnerable and miserable she was.  Ok, so me being dumb me, I came to her rescue, hugging her, protecting her with my magic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/3-300x58.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"58\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/3-300x58.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/3.jpg 757w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yup.  No fucking kidding.  Again- an echo of my own recent thoughts.  Hindsite really is 20 \/ 20, isn\u2019t it?  You never appreciate what you should until it\u2019s gone.  Especially the people.  ESPECIALLY the people.  The ones you take for granted.  The ones you don\u2019t appreciate enough because they seem just too familiar to you.  Those types you only regret not being with when it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p>Fuck.<\/p>\n<p>And yeah, often others\u2019 coldness and uncaring aloofness towards your own sorrow can be just brutal.  Not that I know anything about that.  <\/p>\n<p>Ha, right.<\/p>\n<p>Ugh.

Fine, I guess I should have studied my notes first before launching into those grief filled tirades last weekend.  But, I mean, I was really fucking sad.  And angry.  And I didn\u2019t have time to look all of this shit up, just for my own sake.  So fuck it, God damn it.  Fuck all of it, including her.  <\/p>\n<p>This stuff rhymes, doesn\u2019t it?  The usual shit, I can handle it, it doesn\u2019t bother me.  Well guess what, you can\u2019t, it gets you, in the end.  Nobody is immune, not even you.  Are you listening to yourself, Tom?  You\u2019re going to die, you know.<\/p>\n<p>And what was that shit, Cady?  I will never do drugs?  Yeah right.  Juuuuust pure, undiluted alcohol, for apparently years on end.  Just that stuff, instead, you awful, awful, awful person.  Because everyone knows that I know where it will lead.  Just to show the world how much I hated everything.  How disappointed I was in them, for bothering to help me through life\u2019s problems.  For caring about me.  When fuck knows that only those who are wrong about things care about me.  Right Cady?  Well, what does that say about ME, then, you hurtful bitch?  You abusive bitch who threw away the greatest relationship maybe ever because she wanted to escape.  Dumb bitch.  You know how many people would have done anything to be in her spot?  Millions, maybe more.  Dumb bitch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/7.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/7-234x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"234\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/7-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/7.jpg 754w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 234px) 100vw, 234px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And now, for the grand finale- the last tweet I saved and the one that apparently meant the most to me- the one in which she \u201cgets over it\u201d and pledges to live a long and healthy life, because of us.  Because of ME.  \u201cVampirate\u201d.  Right, Cady.  <\/p>\n<p>Right.  <\/p>\n<p>Fuck you.<\/p>\n<p>This is on top of another tweet that contained a selfie clearly pointed directly at me.<\/p>\n<p>Cady\u2026 seriously?  Obviously, this being the last tweet of the bunch, of what I remember now as being a very tiring but inspiring few days, is significant.  I think I was proud of my work in making her feel better.  <\/p>\n<p>Lots of good that did, lol.<\/p>\n<p>Who the fuck cares, I can be as negative as I want, here.  It\u2019s not like any of this is real, right?<\/p>\n<p>Fuck you, Cady.<\/p>\n<p>You had\u2026 so much to be thankful for.  To love.  And you threw it away.  All the blessings of this world, you threw right back in nature\u2019s face.  And for what?  Because you were angry?  Well, guess what, we all get angry sometimes.  We all get disappointed.  Sometimes very so.  Lord knows I do, and I\u2019m apparently someone who shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n<p>But\u2026 this?  Seriously?  I mean God damn it, Cady.<\/p>\n<p>Well, fuck you, again.  Pretty much anything would be better than this, just for my sake.<\/p>\n<p>Or\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n<p>Maybe not, from that perspective, if I can make all of this mean something good to me, instead of just being a collection of wasted opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>But I mean, I could pick out a list of stuff here that indicates that she basically checked out of life the minute she got the call, platitudes or no.  I mean, just look at this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/8.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/8-300x178.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/8-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/8-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/8.jpg 787w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I mean, geezus, Cady.

I have no choice about that, anymore.  I\u2019m so, so tired.  I&#8217;m going to bed and leaving everything as it is until tomorrow, including that stream of consciousness self reference.  Because it fell in there, somewhere, and I don&#8217;t want to muddy my hands tonight fishing it out before bed. <\/p>\n<p>I think I\u2019ll end with this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/end.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/end-300x61.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"61\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/end-300x61.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sighinide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/end.jpg 766w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>God damn, she was smart.<\/p>\n<p>But why didn\u2019t she see it?
