I have to admit that I have gotten a bit worked up about stuff that I typically don't care about. I don't want pity, but I think I am looking for someone to understand what I am going through. I am not likely to find that person here, so I don't know why I even bothered. I always get to a point where I think that if I describe things in enough ( Read more... )

There are some things that I feel I need to make clear ( Read more... )

I was going to do this kick ass "fuck everything" list like the other infamous entry, only mine was going to be even better, like: fuck tumors, fuck chemotherapy, fuck radiation, fuck having hair fall out, fuck feeling nauseated, fuck headaches, fuck brain swelling, fuck fatigue, fuck brain surgery.... but I figured you all have heard that too many ( Read more... )

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID! Hope you are having a fantastic day doing whatever ( Read more... )
