(no subject)
i thought for a bit that i'd become a hermit. but then i realized that i'm too egotistical for that. plus the world only really needs one famous recluse and we already have j.d. salinger for that (who, i would like to mention, ought to be taught in muggle studies).
i found out an old friend of mine from music school has died. at my age. cancer. she was a muggle. and i can hardly comprehend it. and it makes me angry because maybe magic could have helped her. if not kill the cancer then at least help with the pain. but it didn't. she died in pain, alone, in a hospital ward in new york. that makes my heart hurt. who are we to monopolize the benefits of magic? why is it that we can use any muggle thing we want yet they are denied the possibilities of magic to help them? what about AIDS? cancer? it seems we're always so busy fighting among ourselves that we fail to see the infinite potential that we have to change the world.
that sounded nice, eh? i don't know what i'm saying. i'm just...rambling.
now, if you'll excuse me, i'm off to crash shane's wedding to tell him i still love him and don't want him to marry that evil twat. ta!
