crying at nine o'clock and finding out you like me...

so...
death..
what comes to your mind when i say that?
i know my week has been on the verge of hell but, today things are starting to look up..
sunday my grandmother got really sick and had to go to the hospital...
we found out it was only kidney stones and shes fine now....shes back to her little loving self..
this morning i woke up to my cat inside...which isnt normal bc well...mark doesnt like them on the counters and stuff...and i could tell he was acting strange so i texted my mum..
she called me a half an hour later and asked me what i mean and when i went over to see him he was laying beside the computer chair...eyes open and not breathing..
of course i bawled...like crazy and through the phone down..
but i have only one question...
people deal with deal differently
some would find something to take the place of whatever they lost and some would just let it be what it is....
what do you do and what do you think of the way other people handle death?

next topic...
you have a friend who you talk to every day and you start liking him....
you finally work up the courage to tell him you like him and he surprises you by saying he likes you too...
what do you do?
a. call him and ask him out...
b. stop talking to him for a little bit to see if its a false alarm
c. keep talking and see what he wants to do about it?

i choose c but people have different ways to handle it...
what would you do??
