(no subject)
Just postin' to let everyone know I'm still alive.
We found out a few weeks ago that my dad has lung cancer. It's spread, but not so badly that there isn't hope.
And this is very important people-if someone tells you that they or someone they know has cancer, or anything like that, don't say "I'm so very sorry", or look all sad. I know y'all mean well, but we're usually trying to keep it together, and that's not the best way to help. It makes it sound like they're already dead. With my dad, we just absolutely have to assume that he'll be okay. Just say something positive, like "You hang in there", or "I'll pray for you", "you'll be in my thoughts" or even just "I hope everything works out". Those may sound trivial, but they are so much better than making the other person lose it again.
In a total change of subject, why do we fuss over stupid little things? My BFF and I just got into a bit of a discussion over the correct pronunciation of Aeropostale. I suppose I shouldn't have defended my position so strongly, but I couldn't help it if I was right.
Also, I almost got into it with somebody in Ignipe's LJ comments about the New Seven Wonders of the World. Again, she has a right to her opinion, and I'm not going to respond to her over what is such a stupid thing (whether or not the continued existence of an object should be a requisite for the list), but I keep wanting to respond with but that's not the point, moron!.
I swear, sometimes I'm so mature I scare myself.
