"You're going to be dead in about six weeks. Sorry about that."

My perspective on this might be a bit skewed, given the news a few weeks ago that a friend's husband (who's the same age as me) is terminally ill and the regular updates on how he's coping with it. I've only met the guy a few times but it's hard not to be inspired by his incredible bravery - you may have noticed that I've spent less time recently complaining about inconsequential things, this is not a coincidence. I'd like to think that I might be the same in a similar situation... but, really, I'd probably just try to pretend it wasn't happening until it became impossible to carry on. There's not really anything on my 'must do before I die' list, which is just as well 'cos I'd be hard pressed to scrape together the money for that sort of thing anyway.

What I definitely wouldn't do is go crazy with parties, booze, drugs, hookers, whatever. I'm pretty sure I'd feel shitty enough without adding hangovers and comedowns to the mix, particularly since a hangover is a full-day experience for me. I'm eternally jealous of those who can wake up from a heavy night's drinking and be fine after chowing down a bacon sandwich, I'm lucky if I can eat at all before mid-evening.

I'll add to this later, I think.
