all my friends are superheroes (except you)

that was the most depressing dinner i've ever had.

have you ever met a person whom you had wish you'd never met? i dont mean because they have some overblown personality flaw, or because they're just jerks. i mean because you just cant stop thinking about them -- not in the "attraction" sense, but in the "i feel so helpless" sense.

i had dinner with brian, nathan, kathleen, and danielle, and we saw one of kathleen's friends from her program. he was eating by himself in the caf, so kathleen invited him over. after talking for a little bit, i knew something was up with him -- something was different. i asked kathleen about it later, and it turns out he has no home, he's been kicked out of numerous schools, been involved with the wrong crowd, and has some sort of disease (i dont remember what it was called, something to do with his colon) and his msn name is a countdown of the days he has to live. i dont even know if he has parents; and if he does, he sure as heck is not living with them right now.

he's got no home to go to and the university is kicking him out of residence tomorrow because of some stupid policy. i think he's going to stay with a friend, but even then he's not sure.

i just feel so helpless.
it was depressing for sure.


i'm just so upset now.
