Act One: Scene Seven

Today I slept a little late and had a really big appetite. This is sort of unexpected. I figured I wouldn't be interested in food at all at this point. I'm not going to complain; I'm sure I'll need the energy later... I might as well stock up on food now before the nausea really kicks in.

I've been feeling generally tired. Probably resulting from a combination of the pneumonia, cancer, treatment, and overall mood. I try to sleep a lot and get a lot of rest, but I'm not sure I should be feeling this exhausted all the time. I get that chemo takes a lot out of you, but I was pretty sure some people were able to continue to do some daily tasks during treatment. I have trouble standing or walking for long periods of time. I hope I feel more active and alert when this round of chemo stops.

Since my girlfriend will be away for a few days, I'll be less compelled to spend time online and might get some more rest... but I'll spend more time missing her. (If you're reading this, I love you bokkie.)

Today my family started to raise money for cancer research in three ways. If you have a (fluff)friend account on facebook.com, you can check here (trade gold for items... and a cure!*). If you work with my grandfather, more information is available through the company (your donations get you great prizes - a trip to Hawaii, a new car, vacation time - and help cancer research!). If you are a friend of the family, please contact my mother (ideas for a benefit are still being considered). All of the money we raise will be donated to either the American Cancer Society of the Live Strong foundation.

*I personally think this is a great idea. I mean, you pay real money for gold. Part of that money goes to the World Wildlife Foundation. You trade your gold for gold items. So you don't have to "lose" your money at all. Your gold is not only matched with real money in our donation, but it is used within the application to continue to raise more funds and will eventually be given away to other fluffs. I suppose you might need to know the (fluff)world to appreciate it, but I do. lol I'm convinced unikos can cure cancer. ;)

The bar has a jar set up for you. People who love you are drinking less so we can donate more. People who hate you are having their asses kicked and their money stolen so we can donate more. It's a win-win situation.

Also, I'm strongly considering a facebook account just so I can see wtf this "fluff" shit is all about. ;)

A few people have started collecting money on their own. Like Marisa said, we've got the bar using a big ass jar to collect change and stuff. I think Pete said something about his band playing a benefit concert, but without you they won't have a guitarist. ha!

I have personally decided to use my porn money on you instead. So, for the next few months, every dollar I donate is one less naked chick I see. I hope you're happy.
