"I don't think it's cancer, so we won't biopsy just yet."

cancer?

"I think you have..."

What?

"I'll write it down for you..."

An autoimmune disease...

I have all the symptoms

Right down the line...every symptom

Oh fuck

But finally, I know

It explains so much...all these years

Incurable but treatable

Treatable?

Treatable has got to be better than all these non-responsive symptoms...I like treatable

this is probably not the best time but maybe it is - who knows....

tag! you're it....

Oh, man, what a time to start reading my friendslist journals again.

I hope hope hope you're doing ok. Treatable is good. I've got friends and family with Lupus, Chrons, and MS, and they're all doing ok -- but that doesn't mean that I don't wish every damn day that there was something I could do to help. I've punched a lot of walls. :-)

Treatable is good. You're so strong, and that's good too.

Last night I was inconsiderate to a good friend. I did the very common act of dropping a friend when my "boyfriend" came around. Yes, it is an old story - but one that could have been avoided with a simple "Can we talk in about an hour?" Because of course my limited time with my boyfriend is VERY important to me, but so are...

Aww, that's very sweet but entirely unnecessary. You'd have to do a lot worse than that to even get on my Top 10 list of rude people this week. smile

Every moment

One chance

....Always


It was written on a painted hanging in the gift shop just inside the entrance to the Japanese Garden. I almost bought it thinking I would take it home, hang it in my office, possibly above my computer so I could be reminded. But something about the ink drawing that accompanied it seemed clumsy, and I wasnt sure that I...

The rain has settled in. Yesterday I came home from the market with three items: lotion (obvious), astroglide (don't ask) and WD-40 (really, really don't ask). Maybe, I am worried about rust.

If i didn't know better I would think that was written about me. I can almost see my friend Jen writing it or telling it to someone. Back before she gave up on me.

And of course I was wrong. And she was right. And I realized that far too late.

I hope he doesn't make that same mistake.
commonman:
Thanks for the birthday wishes. But no-one spanked me. frown

Tell him it takes way to much energy to find the down side of everything. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and be happy.

Something wicked this way comes...

Just now I was writing a list of things to get at the store. I was writing it on a blank sheet of paper that had been stapled to the back of an essay I had written, but had torn off to save paper so there were little staple holes at the top. As I put my pen down it...

Haha, that's great! I do that with my paycheck everytime I put it in my checking account. I swear I put em in there but everytime I look, there is no money in there.
vivacious_vixen:
Wow that's really strange!

If it were me I would start to doubt that I had written the words even though I KNOW that I wrote them.

Strange.

There is nothing better than chocolate. Allright, fuck it, there ARE several things better than chocolate, but chocolate is so much more simple.

Chocolate covered strawberries....*swoon* love

I've got some raw chocolate-nibs, yep straight from the bean, and part crunchy part chewy but the real flavour of chocolate, is just great. No sugar and 100% - such a treat to nibble whenver the URGE comes!

Slowly, The Shrine has been disappearing, erasing the moment of her death which had sat frozen in his apartment for almost two years. The change had moved through the living room taking first her reading glasses and the TV Guide open perpetually to July 27, 2003. Then her half glass of water stopped being refilled. The flowers finally died and were not meticulously replaced. He...
