FFW (part A):
My cats are always hungry. They would eat three cams of food a day of they could. One time I came home to find that one of them (Rajah) had knocked over a bag of dry food that was rolled up and left out. We hid it after that.
When I was really young and my mom was trying to convince me to play the violin I'm pretty sure she told me I would never have to skip any strings. I was reassured and have now been playing since I was seven. Some point into practicing though, I had to do exactly that and as a person who remembers this type of random thing, I told her about it. She denied she said it but I'm pretty sure she did. It was tough for me to do that, at least back then.
One day I went to see A Fault in our Stars with a fairly large group of friends from middle school. It was near the end of our last year together. I don't remember much about the movie but the theater was filled with mostly girls. Also that movie theater, The Pavilion is just not a very good movie theater, just close to us. But after the movie I walked home alone, everyone else lived in a different direction. It was getting dark and I just thought about death for a while.
My grandfather died not too long after that. It feels so weird visiting family in McAllen now, it's kind of empty with only Tita in the house. That's my grandmother, I guess I've called her that my entire life. My grandfather was Tito. I remember on his first birthday after he died my dad told me and showed me a picture of him. I started typing, to ask him if we were going to video call him. Then I stopped and realized.
When my dad moved to Arizona with my little brother and sister. Also my stepmom I guess. I first "officially" heard about it in a the blue Prius on the way to Wilmington station. I was going to take Amtrak back home to Penn Station, passing through Newark and Philly and Trenton and all those. Trenton was a nice station, I used to use it a lot when I lived in Princeton, where I lived most of my life (6 or seven years or something I'm bad at counting). Trenton still uses one of the card flipping timetables. It's hard to describe but if you've seen one you'll get it. Anyway, in the car my dad told me that they were considering moving to Arizona. It was for Jae's new job because apparently her current one want good enough. But then I got a bunch of other reasons. Apparently the weather is good there (well it is if you like 100° summers) and it would be good for my newborn sister. Then I was told that I was more important than all those things. I found out they were moving a little while later again near the train: on the platform right before I left. I couldn't respond. I'm listening to Blue.
When I say "officially" I mean because I had overheard them discussing it a few weeks earlier. A more notable example of overheating was before my
