Things. And other stuff

[deathpixie]

I'm kind of brain dead today, owing to a late night (a combination of [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] visiting, Band Night and the lid coming off the pressure cooker that is my personal stress right now). My thought processes are kind of fuzzy and random. To whit: I had pancakes for breakfast. Soon Mel will be here to go have sushi with me. Yay Twitter for mindless distraction that requires no effort on my part. For someone on vacation, Alvin has been calling about work stuff a hell of a lot. Coffee is the most awesome thing ever right now.

Dave's memorial is on Saturday. We're getting a ride with Johnny and Mindy, because they are fantastic people. It's kind of sinking in - I didn't have the resources to process things emotionally before now, what with the death flu and all, but yeah, it's hitting me now. I expect to cry like a hungry angry baby at the memorial.

I still hate cancer. It's still not me personally, it's people I care about, but yeah, I really hate cancer right now. Weren't we supposed to have cured this already?

I can't remember who said it, and I believe it was in an xkcd cartoon or something like that but there isn't a cure for "cancer" because cancer cells are so different and always changing and there are new types every day, etc. There isn't a single cure, there need to be multiple cures or procedures, etc.

But as long as people continue to contribute and as long as governments make research a priority (and sadly, this is now iffy) there will always be someone trying to find those cures, those procedures, etc.

I know that. I'm just angry and upset and wishing this wasn't happening.

I know. And I'm sorry for being a bit too pragmatic. That's not going to bring him back or give his family more time with him. Sorry for being a jerk.

I appreciate the thought. And it's not just Dave. Aisy's mother is on the way out too. :( So yeah, fuck cancer.

I'm very very sorry for your loss and my email was I'll timed (first time I've login in months). I would have never sent that knowing what you are currently going through. (I would send an email but my phone won't let me for some reason).
