Is it really weird that whenever I see the abbreviation "HS" (as in "high school") now... I think something totally different?

Please let me know if you want a bracelet.
You're welcome to email me with a name and address and whatever for when I get them and start shipping 'em off.

So yeah, I only discovered HS last night, but I already had an idea.

You know the Livestrong-style silicon bracelets that have popped up everywhere for various causes and illnesses? Why don't we have one? There are plenty of sites online for designing and ordering. I could order and sell them for a minimal price, and donate the proceedings to the HS ( Read more... )

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it has a name.
HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA

I have a chronic skin condition that will most likely continue to keep me in pain for the rest of my life, and may develop at a later stage into cancer.

Psychopath surgeon tomorrow.

Why do I always fall for the straight girls?

Christ, I hate doctors.

Because I can't take it anymore.

I do everything. I drag myself to him whenever we need to be together, need to work together. Like it's no big deal, the hours on buses, the arguements with my mother. I do it because I love him, because I think and hope he loves me. I think he wants to see me.

Could be I give him everything I want from a friend and ( Read more... )

Okay. Just admit it.
I don't think I'd get so upset if you did.
Okay... I would. But I'd sure as hell appreciate it.

You keep putting things off. You put them off till the last minute and then expect them to get done, or people to accept the facts because "something got in the way." That is not the way to go about things.

Okay... I'm not sure if I even ( Read more... )
