My best friend and I haven’t seen each other since we spent the day in NYC in July. We can barely talk on the phone never mind get together. We’ll make plans to do something but something always comes up.

After trading e-mails for the past few weeks she’s determined to get me out of the house to help rid me of newfound fear of people. She wants to go downtown and just walk around, where it’s no uncommon to be violated of any sense of personal space by any guy on the street who thinks you’d be a good player for their sad game. Great idea for a cure right? The only reason I said I’d consider it is because I know she’d beat the shit out of anyone who crosses either one of us.

She suggested on Tuesday we do something today since it seemed to be the easiest way for something not to “come up” (after 5pm on Wednesdays I’ve just had it so that was out by default).

Something came up…..a friend of hers died yesterday morning, she was 22. Of all the things that could take someone away at such a young age, it was cancer.
Rosa’s helping plan the funeral in addition to dealing with her grief and helping me get through mine. We’re still going to try and do something tonight but I’m not sure either one of us will really be up to doing anything.
