A great friend of mine was recently diagnosed with HPV, Claumidia, and Tuberculosis all at the same time... I didn't know what to say to the poor guy. I have to admit I admire his spirit and determination. He knows his time is rather limited. So him and I are continuing to train in Super Smash Brothers: Brawl. We're entering a tournament at the end of this quarter. Also, over Christmas break (since he has no family to spend time with) he's going to spend a crap-ton of money on video games and play as much as possible while drinking and partying with his buddies in his studio room.
The whole thing has been a huge wake up call to everyone. I feel like I don't live in this fantasy any more. I feel human, and incredibly vulnerable. But at the same time, I had some epiphanies about life. Being vulnerable, I somehow sense that the omen of love is just around the corner for some reason. I wonder how long, my friend will last, let alone myself...

Kudos to him for trying to get the most out of his last days though.
Either way it's a wake up call...You soon realise "shit, I haven't done much in life."
Good luck to him.
And I hate to be a jerk off here, but do you know what kind of tuberculosis it is? According to Wiki, one is very, very contagious.
HPV and Calumidia seems like a sexual infection :/ ( sorry if I'm a jerk too )
i dont know if that's what Rimrook means or not.
I wasn't born with an immune system so they planted an accumulation of 36 people's immunity into be and gave me a load of steroids and drugs, this happened when I was 1 yr. old. Since then i've been fine, experienced only minor mutations and I have a natural blood toxin that restricts me from giving blood, but it doesn't harm me.
If I do get it, chances are I am resistant to tuberculosis, and my friend knows that so he's cool with the parties and shit. Also, he isn't coughing or anything so its alright. If he does, he does it into a hankerchief.
