Jen Miller is dead! Long live Jen Miller!

May her memory ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

One year since the death of @sumoyokai.bsky.social.

At 10:25PM I will fix myself a Maker's Manhattan & watch RoboCop in Jen's honor (or maybe RoboDoc, which hopefully has the story of Verhoeven not quite knowing how the word "bitches" is used in American English).

It is a very strange milestone.

The General approves of this plan.

Eleven months since the death of @sumoyokai.bsky.social.

I am having a ridiculous week of school shit and really, really wish I could talk to Jen. Instead I am looking forward to the memorial next month/still pissed that Jen is gone/grateful that we even met at all. There are many mixed emotions.

In a very "Harry Dean Stanton in Twin Peaks" kinda mood today.

(I think we are all channeling this mood in some way or another as of late.)

Note: “Blackgaze” does actually exist, and Jen loved that shit.

Ten months since the death of @sumoyokai.bsky.social.

At the point where I’m back on med school rotations & dealing w/regular life shit, passably normal except that a couple times a day it hits me that Jen is still dead. It feels like I’m straddling separate worlds, one with her & one without.

After countless action movies in which regular people get their shit wrecked by gangster scumbags, this is the most relatable motivation ever. (There was a shootout in her apartment earlier in the movie.)

Nine months since the death of @sumoyokai.bsky.social.

Unsettling how the months go by so fast. I still miss her intensely yet am gradually adjusting to life without her, & I can even contemplate the future w/out revulsion. It's a very strange bag of mixed feelings, but then again life is strange.

Seven months since the death of @sumoyokai.bsky.social.

The relentless march of the "new normal" continues and while the body & robot brain are adjusting (laundry gets done, groceries get bought, etc) my emotional brain lags behind, wondering how the fuck we got to this point. It's a bit strange.
