As some of you may know, a student here at Ball State committed suicide by hanging herself at one of the dorms last thursday. This is an article from the BSU Daily News that Ugly Bastard and I were looking over in class today, and found some of the article quite humorous. Yep, we're assholes
Father says student was smart, quiet Relatives gather at funeral to mourn sophomore's death Erica Pluff | Chief Reporter April 15, 2004 With teary eyes, more than 115 people filled Shirley Brothers' Castleton Chapel Wednesday to celebrate a sophomore's life. Remembered for her originality and confidence, Jennifer Pokorny, 19, committed suicide(I'll give you a topic..her suicide represented neither originality nor confidence...discuss amongst yourselves) in Woodworth Complex's Crosley Residence Hall Thursday. The Rev. Jon Hudson said no one can know why Pokorny decided to die and in doing so, she left a challenge.(wtf?) "What we must do is pick up her challenge and build real relationships," Hudson said. "So when somebody's life begins shaking again, we're there to bring peace." Jennifer Pokorny, a Landscape Architecture and Design Major, moved to Indiana from Fresno, Calif., her junior year of high school. She lived with her father, Anthony Pokorny, and attended Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis. She was a former member of Alpha Omicron Phi sorority. Anthony Pokorny said his daughter should've been on the debate team with how well she made her point. He said she knew she was smart, and her quiet confidence made him proud. (she makes her point well alright) "I used to cry sometimes just thinking about how lucky I was to be her father," Anthony Pokorny said. "Whatever she set her mind to, she could accomplish." (come on, tell me that isn't funny) He described waking his daughter after she came home at 3 a.m. He imitated her exasperation, as she was lying in bed, begging him to let her sleep longer. "I'd go in and marvel at her perfect ears, her eyebrows, her collics," Anthony Pokorny said. "I'd kiss her forehead, tell her I loved her, and she always said 'I love you too, Dad.'" Ginger Castle, Jennifer Pokorny's friend from California, described driving around Fresno with Jennifer and passing notes written on Styrofoam cups. "We'd spend hours trying to find something to do,"(ball state IS pretty boring...) Castle said. "She was such a thoughtful person. She'd come home, and we'd pick up right where we left off." Ryan Williams, a member of Theta Chi fraternity, said Jennifer Pokorny never caved in an argument. She also tolerated his singing when no one else would, Williams said. "We had a pretty interesting relationship," Williams said. "She would always sing Justin Timberlake right along with me." Dave Matthews Band played softly on the funeral home's speakers(dave matthews: the new rage for funerals everywhere) as guests shared memories after the service. Anthony Pokorny said his daughter, nicknamed "The Bou" by her parents, didn't realize how many lives she touched. Hudson said Jennifer Pokorny would prefer mourners to deal with her death and move on. "Get over it. Go on. It sounds harsh at the moment," Hudson said. "In reality, that's what she'd want us to do."(hey now, she committed suicide, the least you could do is give her a bit of attention) |

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

That girl was a former student of my spanish teacher. I got to hear about it from him before reading the article. Apparently he said that she was a lovly student who was always so happy and he couldn't understand why she would do something like kill herself. Which brings to the fact of how anyone could give up their life for something when EVERYEONE has someone who cares about them. I recently lost one of my friends to suicide (Scott A. Whitworth Jr.) and I am sure he would have thought twice about what he was doing if he would have seen all the people that showed up to his funeral. It was really beautiful. If he could see all of them there he would have been so proud. When his mother read the letter that she wrote to him I dont think there was one person that wasent crying. So all of you out there even thinking about suicide DONT DO IT! Life IS worth living no matter how shitty it can get it will always get better, eventually, just stick it out and it will make you stronger.

What's the point in smiling if you have no one to smile for?

I think Jen was very original and confident.
Very few people commit suicide. Tho hanging doesn't seem too creative. And as far as confidence, She did have the guts to go through with it. If I had a name like porkonme, I'd probably follow in her footsteps. I wonder if she was hot. That would be a waste. |

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind, because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mine.

Wouldn't it be fucked up if really someone hung her? You walk into a dorm with someone hanging by a rope, you probably immediately assume its suicide. But what if it wasn't, what if the roommate did it? I wonder how thoroughly they actually invest those things.
