I'm giving my final presentation for Personality Adjustment tomorrow on my dear friend Tatiana Gill and the passing of our beloved friend Jeremy Martin.
This has been a very consuming and hard presentation to put together. First of all because Tatiana is such a complex, emotionally-rich and versatile lady, and second of all because of having to relive all the feelings and events of the Capital Hill Massacre where our friend Jeremy Martin was killed.
I don't know how many of you know about our friend Jeremy, but he was beyond amazing. Seriously one of the kindest most fun-loving people I have ever known. So writing about his death, and presenting Tats' and his story to my class is going to be an emotional journey for all of us.
I'm nervous and excited to share Tats' life and loss with my class. I hope it will be well-received. I'm very grateful that Tatiana was willing to contribute her time, feelings and memories to my and my classmates' education. I think it will be moving, heart-breaking and inspiring all at the same time.
Wish me luck! |

Good luck on this!
You will rock this mother of a bitch! I'm glad you are doing a project with so much meaning to you.
Thanks! I'm excited too!
Hope I don't get too teary-eyed.
Major luck tomorrow, it sounds like an amazing presentation.
Good luck! What an amazing project. I'm impressed.
I still think of Jeremy daily. It makes me smile now.
I'd love to read what you have if it's possible.
Give me your e-mail address and I'll send it to you. I was also quoted in that Seattle P.I. article on his passing:
Ashley Arias, a Georgetown photographer, said Martin and friends would regularly crash parties and bars dressed up as clowns. She joined them and had a blast.
It's liberating to be a clown, since you can get away with almost anything, Arias said.
"We'd get together and put on the clown makeup and wear all the clown clothes and honk the horn and people love it," she said. "Jeremy was very loud and boisterous. He was a party. If Jeremy was there, you knew it was going to be fun."
I am grateful for all the time I got to spend with him. He brightened up so many of my days and made me value positivity more than I ever thought I could.

Thanks!
I've been thinking about him a lot lately.
(sigh) he was/is good, so good.
I am curious about why the presentation is about tatiana?
The presentation is for a class called Personality Adjustment, which is focused on the ways in which people change or are changed by events/situations/social dynamics. My presentation focuses on the adjustment of Tatiana's personality through many struggles and accomplishments in her life. I'm trying to illustrate how Tatiana changed as a person before and after Jeremy's death and the ways in which she was grown in the process.
Hope that makes more sense. | |
