I have survived two death threats, a chronic illness (which, let’s face it, threatens to kill me every day), South Africa, depression, chronic-illness-induced Crazy, the mental breakdowns of loved ones, a job layoff, my parents’ concurrent layoffs when I was still financially dependent on them, several big city and land mass moves, and much more.

Apparently Washington Mutual failed yesterday. I’ve never experienced a Great Depression. I’m not stoked about it. Most things are a lot more fun to read about in history books that to live through.
