What's cooler than being cool? ICE COLD!
I spent Saturday and Sunday in the city. I got back just in time for treatment this morning and afterwards my friend and I went to see "Lord of the Rings." I barely noticed how long it was until the end when I had to pee really bad.
The weekend was great. I did a lot of just hanging out, etc. I saw my friend Andy who lives in California now (for grad school) and that was really fun. I got to see the usual suspects plus Miss B. and H.
We watched the first 3 hours of "Angels in America" and I was totally blown away. I cried for at least the first two hours. I didn't really expect it to hit me like it did, with the illness thing. There's a part where this man's grandmother has died and he's just found out his boyfriend has AIDS. He talks to the Rabbi who proceeded over his grandmother's funeral service at the cemetary. "What happens to a person who abandons someone he loves when he gets sick?" It made me cry so hard because it made me think of my friend M. who can't handle what's going on with me right now, so he hasn't talked to me or any of our other friends. He's having a hard time otherwise and I guess my being "sick" has just pushed him over the line. It's pretty hard when someone who has been one of your best friend's for 9 years just abandons you when you're sick. But again I say that those kind of people make me appreciate the true friends I have.
I had so much on my mind last night but I was too tired to write. But one thing I did decide is that too many plays have angels in them, so when I write one this semester for my class it's gonna have devils.
