Apples!

“Sometimes the most difficult thing in the world is to choose to endure life.” –Edwin S. Shneidman

Oregon permits physicians to help their terminally ill patients commit suicide. I support Oregon. So would a philosopher friend who wants to get protestors.

This brings me to the topic of sensitivity to death around here. Seems as though everyone is really touchy when it comes to death and suicide. And I mean really really. I made some casual jokes today, and got some drastic responses.

For example, at お茶の時間 (tea time) I wrote 死にたい (I want to die) on the board. Hahahahaha, oops. The girl I was talking to didn't know what it meant, so when she asked, I told her. "!! Why would you write something like that? !!"

Later, I was playing Apples to Apples, a game which was more fun than I would've expected, and the topic card "Dead" came up, so I played the "My Dreams" card. Haha, oops again.

I still think the Gila Monster story was excellent. Even if it was a friend of a friend. I used the card in Apples to Apples. Worth a laugh or two.

I guess I'll not play music, and just to my Japanese homework in bed.
