dancing, I'm really sorry about your aunt. Meningitis can be really scary just because of that; people assume it's the flu until it gets that bad.
It's not just young children that do that; I never thought about what my teachers were like outside of school. I just found out last summer that one of my 5th grade teachers was a lesbian and her partner was my 7th grade gym teacher. She told us they were roommates; I never thought to question it. But once I did hear about it, it just kind of made sense.
My mom yelled for me to come help her with something upstairs and I told her I'd be up in a few minutes. Like 5 seconds later, my dad walks in the house. Instead of getting my dad to help since he's already up there, she's still yelling for me to come help her while my dad sits in the same room, eating dessert and watching TV. Unless it's giving birth, I can't imagine my dad is unable to perform the same task she required of me.
Aaah, scary thunder.

Is there a 'game' that people (usually teens) play that requires something to be done and if they don't do it...they get killed or commit suicide?
I've heard about it more than once. It's sort of like hazing.
Just last week, someone I knew (not well) hung himself because of this 'game.'
Ridiculous.
The only game I've heard of is the "choking game" in which kids choke themselves until they pass out or are close to, to get a high. A lot of things obviously have gone wrong with this game and kids do end up dying from it.
The temperature here just dropped a good thirty degrees. Yessss.
Posting about suicide on a message board read by many young people is never a good idea. There's a fine line between prevention and inspiration.
I'm freezing. Everyone else came home complaining how hot it was and would turn the AC up, and I didn't say anything then, but now I'm sitting here in a fleece blanket and shivering.

I'm in Chicago this week. My mom is here for business and I just came along. So, I'm stuck in my hotel room all day because we're in some random suburb-y part of Chicago, and I can't really walk anywhere.
We're going downtown on Thursday though. And seeing Spelling Bee, so that's exciting.
I've been going to the hotel gym and watching movies (American Dreamz, United 93, and Failure to Launch so far. Ask the Dust, Hard Candy, and V for Vendetta are planned for the rest of the week.) and ordering room service. It's not that bad.
What hotel are you in? That sounds REALLY nice. Which makes me FOUR times as curious as to what your mom does. (I kid, I kid. It sounds fun)

The Hyatt Regency. It's pretty nice. I wish we were downtown though.
The mall close to it has an H&M, so that makes me happy.
You know, I really don't know her official title. I think it has to do with software development, though.
I've had a pretty awful day. I got bad news, but right now, I'm just so happy that I have power again.
i've been sick for 8 days now and have lost almost 22 pounds so far.

Oh my gosh, what do you have?!
Hope you get better soon!

Guido Contini- Don't you think you should go to the doctor or something?
Losing 22 lbs in that amount of time isn't good...
Yikes. Get thee to a doctor!
feels a bit like i might have a virus of some sort... but at the same time feels like mono did the 3 times i had it.

Go to the doctor to check it out and make sure it's not something serious or maybe he/she can give you an antibiotic if you need it.
I shall be making an appointment for the doctor in the morrow...

Good idea!
Hope things get well.
0n a lighter note, i think i'm in love with julia murney and it's all because of "A Class Act"
I'm so in love with her, it's not the least bit funny. Well, okay, maybe a little.
I habitually bite the insides of my cheeks, and I really need to stop.
glad i'm not the only one.
Well, I'm a straight female, hence my love for her being a little out of the realm called "normal" for my orientation.
out of the norm but totally justifiable.
