| Synyster Lisa Blinded In Chains Age: 24 Gender: Female Posts: 594 | I can't believe it's been a year. : I wrote This journal on Mibba. Today in a tribute to him, I'm wearing an A7X t-shirt, wore my hoodie. Drove around for an hour blasting A7X from my car. Now I'm home, have an idea for a new A7X fanfiction that I'm gonna start today I think. I'm watching "All excess" now, gonna follow up with "Live in LBC" then invading youtube. For me, it's nothing but A7X for me today. |

I couldn't wear a tshirt ... yeah I went and got foREVer tattooed on my shoulder blade today. It just felt right, it was a Christmas gift from my sister Siana and my friend Sam. Its never going tofeel real, we never want to accept that the people we love are gone from this Earth, that we're never going to see them again and no one new is going to find out how amazing they are and have the chance at getting to share those moments like we did. And even though most of us never met him, he still touched our lives in a way that we're never going to forget. He was one of those rare amazing people that was born to mix things up and move to his own beat. That's what he did until the end. We were just lucky to get a glimpse of his genius. |
| Synyster Lisa Blinded In Chains Age: 24 Gender: Female Posts: 594 | My life has been nothing but A7X for the past three days. Listening to them non-stop, talking to other fans, and seeing all these people show their love for Jimmy on the 1 year anniversary of his death. It was heartwarming and sad at the same time. |
| Synyster Lisa Blinded In Chains Age: 24 Gender: Female Posts: 594 | Another year has gone by. It's easier and harder at the same time. Today I actually visited him. Yes, I visited Jimmy's actual real grave. Let me tell you, it was just the most surreal thing I've ever done. Then after that I met up with some other A7X fans for a gathering to celebrate Jimmy. It was so amazing. We had candles held high for Jimmy as the group of us sang "So Far Away" to the instrumental of the song. Told some very personal and touching stories about A7X and JImmy and how they affected our lives. Belted out some more songs as a group. Laughed, cried, hugged, and finished the celebration by singing "Fiction" and releasing balloons for JImmy at the end of the song. I'll never forget this day. |

Retta and I plan to stop by the graveyard to see the grave when we go to Cali after my wedding (Luke's going too). We're staying in Huntington I think for the week we're there. It just doesn't feel real that we're still here and he isn't. I guess its just something that no one wants to believe. We don't want him to be gone and its hard to like...accept it. Its hard to accept that someone was dynamic and amazing can be gone from this world so young and so fast. I never got to meet him, and that hurts. But in the end, I believe that I didn't need to meet him in order to be affected and touched by him. |
| Synyster Lisa Blinded In Chains Age: 24 Gender: Female Posts: 594 | I don't recall anybody named Julie there. The gathering was held in HB Central Park. And it's actually really nice to visit Jimmy. His grave isn't hard to find, though it's also very sad at the same time, because it kind of smacks you in the face that he truly is gone. But I totally agree with what you said about how we don't want to accept it. I never got to meet him either, but standing at his grave felt like an honor, and I guess in a sense, standing there, I did meet him. The whole thing is surreal, and I think it's all filled with mixed emotions. There's happiness, sadness, disbelief At the gathering, we all just jammed out to A7X, talked about concerts we've gone to, meeting any of the guys, and just talked about Jimmy's great moments. One guy was quoting him the whole time, and in the end he started doing the Jimmy Kung Fu. XD. Then it got emotional when we started to pay our tribute and respects to him, and a few of them who really really looked up to him told stories about how they found out about his death, and we were all just crying and hugging each other. THere was one guy who's story had us all just sobbing, because he said that in the end of everything he's gone through, Jimmy is his guardian angel. We all stood in a group singing their songs together, and then at the end of "Fiction" we all let go of balloons for him. |
