[Sundae]

Had a friend from Leicester down the last two days, Bri. She has some sort of chemo every week (have said before I don't understand exactly what, sorry) and she sympathised with what I told her you were going through physically.

But more than that, she had a friend die on Sunday of cancer. It was actually faster than anyone expected but Teri has been going through it with Anna for a few years now, and known she was terminal for a year. After Anna's diagnosis (recurrence and a prognosis of 18 months max) she sat down her friends and said, "STOP treading on eggshells around me. I'm still me. Ask how I am if you want, tell me about the plans you're making for your silver anniversary in 2 years, tell me about you - I know I have a limited time but I am still me!"

And that's you. Except you're not terminal. You're ill, that's all. It's a really shitty stick to be hit with, but it's not like you were born stupid or something fatal like that, right? The day you start posting about how Ann Coulter not only talks a lot of sense but is also really attractive in a ladyboy kinda way is the day you get my real sympathy.

I'd give you a patronising rub on your fluffy little fledgling head any day.
