I need a brand new friend

Jeff is dying. Jeff has been my mother's boyfriend for 11 years, and more of a father figure than my father. Currently, he is in a coma at Good Samaritan. His liver is failing. His brother died of liver failure 8 years ago at the age of 38. Jeff turned 40 five days ago. If he survives today and remains in the hospital, he has approximately 6 months to live. You know, that is if anyone has a spare liver lying around. It hasn't hit me yet. I'm not looking forward to it when 'it' does. This is how I deal with things like this; I don't deal with them. They usually deal with me.

I'm quitting my job.

I'm cutting down smoking. Being a pothead became too tedious.

In two years, I am moving out of Ohio.

I was told I needed to apply to colleges that would cater to my writing, because apparently, according to this person, I'm good at it or something... Then he tried to sleep with me, so...I don't know.

Hey, i'll try for something more cheery next time.
