[Everybody! BE QUIET!]
[Pretend I don't have a life; I just found out that my sister 'spies' on me through this livejournal!]
[!JEEZ FORBID I SAY ANYTHING THAT MIGHT SHOW I HAVE ANY SIGN OF A SEX DRIVE IN ME!]

So, I still persist to be sick. I have been coughing up stuff with what I compare to the consistency of yogurt that has been exposed to air too long.
My sense of taste has been reduced to saltiness, sweetness, and spiciness. Man. Needless to say, you don't get much culinary pleasure with a sinus infection.
{BUT, SHH!!! DON'T LET MY SISTER FIND OUT I HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO ENJOY FOOD, SEX, OR WRITING ONLINE! AH}
So, as I sit and watch the further progression of this horrible Terri Schiavo issue, I have two more points of interest.
Ok, so, I respect the Pope for his attempts to strengthen interreligious relations. But, I think his mind is slipping. He said that people shouldn't be kept alive under artificial means, but that food and water should be given to keep a person alive. Of course this was a few years ago, when he still could speak, but nonetheless, the Vatican said that Schiavo's case is not artificial.
I don't if what they mean by 'aritificial' would somehow involve aliens, but I, for one, think Terri's case is beyond artificial.
Ok, this woman has to have food and water literally pumped into a hole in her stomach. She can't swallow, she is braindead, and she has not opportunity to improve.
Yes, Mr. Pope, then under this circumstance, her life support is artificial.
Then, as I look to the tv to listen to the above info, I see these fools facing her hospice with red tape over their mouth that says 'LIFE' silently reading the bible. Ok, first of all, the family would ordinarily have already put her out if her will was written. BUT, since she doesn't have one, the family can say that they don't want her to die, which they are doing. These decisions go on every day. Is this one little church going to go to all Hospices in all the country and do the same thing?
And, then while I was watching (which was on CNN if you want to see this exact same clip) there was a girl in the line facing the opposite way with her LIFE tape hanging halfway off her mouth talking on her cellphone.
It made me laugh a little.
