i hope you're feeling a bit better...and i hope it's just that you're sick that you're thinking of quitting writing...you really shouldn't, you're an amazing writer and it's just awesome that you share your thoughts with us on a weekly basis.
get rest and drink oj

it's not that she's sick...whenever she counts kleenex like that, it means she's been CRYING.
what happened nekes? 34 is serious. i mean, its usually 20 for a fight, 40 for a break-up...i think. are you okay?
(and don't think i'm weird for knowing exactly how many kleenex she can cry through. if you knew her as long as i you'd know too :(
