Man I wish I was anywhere but here, but right now particularly in California. My poor Daniel is sick, with what he thinks is the flu. I dont think I've introduced him yet. Everyone, this is Daniel... Daniel, this is everyone. I met Daniel on the Territorial Pissings mailing list about the same time I met Lon. Actually at that time I had some very good online friends: Mike in Madison WI, Lon in Platteville WI, Daniel out in LA, Mark in Oregon, Greg in San Diego and another Mike in Texas (A&M), Leigh in London, Maddi in Melbourne... they were all from TP. Anyway, Daniel commented to the list about how he was the most weird person in the world... I just had to correct him on that! So at first we just tried to prove to each other that we were the most weird.... Daniel's one of the only net friends that I still have. I think that's because we haven't met in person.... Really, he's one of the only friends I have left. Yeah I'm sure I disappointed him with some of my decisions but he's still around, (mucho kudos for that!) and he still respects me. Unlike others who knew me before I was using, he seems to be the only one who doesn't treat me differently. And I'm not that different really, it didnt have that much affect on me. I tried to explain to him a little bit about why I used to begin with. I explained theories that came up while talking to Eric: that heroin is like being in a coma, its the closest thing to being dead as one can get, its like hitting a pause button on life. It's not STOP, its just PAUSE.... You cant come back from death (well...) but you can come back from heroin (well...) ok I'm starting to sound stupid, sound like I'm making excuses. I am stupid, I was stupid, drug are bad mmkay.... Getting back to Daniel: one of the best compliments in my life came from him. After our first phone call he wrote me a letter, which is way awesome by the way, and in the letter he said that I sounded cute, my voice young and very girlie and that talking with me made him feel incredibly dumb.... That's so awesome! Daniel's awesome in general (and quite sexy too! tall dark and evil yeahhh) but sometimes he makes me really sad because we subscribe to different philosophies on how man should conduct his life. That and he has a cellphone AND his parents pay all his credit card bills... *sigh* its unbelievable the flaws I overlook in those that are beloved to me.....

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
