You're Too Cool

Let's play a game! The titles for the majority of my posts--if not all--come from song titles or song lyrics. See if you can name who sings these songs. Okay. Go.

Had a fun time at Aldelphia's with some good friends. Made plans to do a pub crawl through Port Credit on Friday night--the first and last pub crawl of this summer. I'm looking forward to it, as should all of you...you will get to hear about it and all.

Apparently my cousin is going to the Blue Rodeo concert tomorrow, and my mom is absolutely paranoid that she will see Scott and I together doing something other than standing close to one another (you know, holding hands or kissing--something scandalous like that). My mom fears that my cousin will then tell my aunt, who is one of the biggest gossipers in my family.

Kingston is approaching quickly. It's going to be sad not seeing everyone for copious amounts of time. I think the fact that I'm actually never coming home for a length of time as long as the summer again is kind of hitting me. I mean, I'm going to miss certain peeps. Yes, I said 'peeps'. The point is that despite my readiness for moving off, I'm still going to miss the times spent with the people I <3 dearly back in good old M to the I to the--ah, fuck it--ssissauga.

OH! You wanna hear (read?) something cool? Well, apparently anyone with someone in their ancient family tree who survived the black plague (y'know, that vicious disease that wiped out a lot of people a long time ago) is immune to the HIV/AIDS virus. This one guy from San Francisco was living it up in the gay community (having unprotected sex with HIV-positive partners) and did not contract the virus, unlike so many of his friends who all passed away. Curious over why this was, he whored himself out to research, and this one doctor took him in. After much research and blah, blah, blah, it turned out that this thing he had in his blood, I think it was called delta-32, protected him from the virus. Apparently only about 3-million people carry this delta-32 in all of North America and Europe, so, obviously, it's hard to find other people who are immune to HIV/AIDS.

They took this one step further and dug up mass burial sites in Europe, where all of the black plague victims would be currently residing. After much DNA testing, all of these bodies didn't have the delta-32, providing more evidence in favour of this AIDS immunity. Crazy, no? Too bad AIDS is indeed a virus, and will only mutate itself out of our grasp to cure it yet again.
