That's right. Strange trivia about me. It was neither the news catching me crying nor being caught on American Idol live sobbing over the angelic voice of a teen sensation (tone-deaf or otherwise).
Back in college, I experienced something quite traumatic. One of my good friends from college was killed protecting her father from an assassination attempt. This all occurred a few hours after I had brunch with her - so I basically had last contact. We were close through the debate team. A few years after her death, I was asked to present an award of some sort in her name during a nationally televised debate tournament. The presentation featured a video of her and a speech about her life. Granted the little spiel I had to recite on TV was written by someone else and, thus, easy to follow like a script, I couldn't help but breakdown into tears after the video presentation was over. I could barely speak.
Intense. It reminds me about how much of a whirlwind my life has been the past few years.
