When I die, I want them to bury me facedown and ass up so that the whole world can kiss my ass!

Why can someoneget so sick that the only way to get better is to make them more sick?It__ like the world__ longest exorcism. It doesn__ make sense that I canchat with someone live on a tiny screen, that governments spend billionsof dollars on war and mayhem, that actors make millions of dollarsto just look pretty and skinny, yet no one can fucking fi gure outhow to cure cancer without torturing people.

I have always kept a stack of library books next to my bed as a lifeline. If I ever woke in the middle of the night too scared to move or too sad to roll over, the books were my saviors.
