] In the taxi to Richard's place, the conversation falls
] silent. He hasn't been tested in a couple of years, and
] he's reluctant to get a test now. He might very well be
] positive already. But as long as he doesn't know for
] sure, he can always hope that tonight is the night he
] gets the virus. Every date is potentially The One.
] Stepping out of the cab into the rain, I ask what he will
] do if he finds out one day that he has succeeded in being
] infected -- ending the fun of being a bug chaser. He
] stops, then says he might move on to being a gift giver:
] "If I know that he's negative and I'm fucking him, it
] sort of gets me off. I'm murdering him in a sense,
] killing him slowly, and that's sort of, as sick as it
] sounds, exciting to me." this article actually made me cry. what the hell is happening in this country? does this go on in other countries? i'm not one to suggest how other people should live their lives, but what's wrong with these people? besides the suicidal tendencies? why do they "get off" doing it to other people?

according to classmates.com (the dumbest thing anyone ever convinced me to sign up for.. but it was interesting for stuff like this), this is a listing of percentages of people from my graduating class who live in which states. alabama- 1.0% mississippi-1.0% west virginia-0.5%
alaska-0.0% missouri-1.0% wisconsin-0.0%
arizona-2.4% montana-0.0% wyoming-1.0%
arkansas-1.0% nebraska-0.5%
california-4.9% nevada-1.0%
colorado-1.5% new hampshire-1.0%
connecticut-1.0% new jersey-34.0%
delaware-0.0% new mexico-1.0%
DC-0.5% new york-6.3%
florida-4.9% north carolina-2.4%
georgia-3.4% north dakota-0.0%
hawaii-0.5% ohio-3.4%
idaho-0.5% oklahoma-2.4%
illinois-1.5% oregon-0.0%
indiana-1.5% pennsylvania-2.4%
iowa-0.5% rhode island-1.0%
kansas-2.4% south carolina-1.0%
kentucky-0.0% south dakota-1.0%
louisiana-0.5% tennessee-0.0%
maine-0.0% texas-3.4%
maryland-1.9% utah-1.0%
massachussetts-1.0% vermont-0.0%
michigan-0.0% virginia-1.0%
minnesota-1.5% washington-1.9% very interesting. now besides the fact that this adds up to 100.6%, i wonder a few things: 1. if "0.5%" probably means -one- person, then "1.0" probably means -two- people and i want to know who the other person living in connecticut is!!! 2. i find it hard to believe that more people from my class live in KANSAS than connecticut. who are they!?? 3. the person from hawaii must be lying. who is it?? it's also nice to see that most people made it out of the state. |
