I am delurking to say that I've been following your blog for a while. I'm a queer woman with a close friend as well as a cousin with o.c., and I'm trying to figure out how to really 'be there' for them. My friend likes to say, when faced with yet another disappointing treatment, doomy-gloomy doctor's prognosis, etc., "well, I'm not dead yet." Which is true for each and every one of us, as we greet the day. Thanks for your vulnerability and humor--they are pretty great. Hi-

Mostly because I seem to handle watching people I love fiercely being sick and actually at their death and now I'm getting a little pariah label in my family because of it. People are fucked up on how they handle death mostly yes because their mortality becomes obvious. It's like when I had a fire... people got wierd like it was catching.... Anyways - a ramble... because this makes sense to me. We should all have a good death but not one that occurs cuz people have pushed us along. So much more to say but i leave it at that for now. FF PS: Fuck the Olympics. Well, loved this post.
