Holy load of letdowns.

This week has had a lot of letdowns for me! Let's discuss.

First of all, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, that was supposed to be coming out in theaters in November, was pushed back to July 17th of 2009. This is not because the film isn't done, it is solely for revenue purposes. I hate Warner Brothers. Don't they realize that Harry Potter is my sanity when school gets out of line?

Secondly, my med supply company sent me the wrong length needles for my portacath. What does this mean? They don't fit. What does that mean? I just got stuck 4 different times before I realized there was no way the needle was going to work. Currently my nurse has run back to the place she is sent from to get the right size needle to come back and stick me again. Great! I really hope it works, or it will be yet another letdown. (If it doesn't work with a longer needle, there is a possibility my port is clotted. Fabulous!)

Thirdly, recall that blog I told you to read about Pepe and her struggles with CF and her lung transplant? It was false. I found out through a fellow CFer, Carla, after reading her blog. Pepe (Gina is her name) did not have a lung transplant. She does not, in fact, even have CF. She fooled everyone around her, and that is why her blog is no longer available. Not only that, she can be held accountable for fraud. If you read her blog, you will know that many people responded to a donation back before Christmas of last year to get a Wii for Gina to help her time before the "supposed" transplant go by. Time went by, and so did many people's money. Some of it was donated to a CF cause I believe, but the other money was not. I don't understand how someone can be so sick as to play on a serious problem and be able to make up a sob story so willingly. There were SO many people backing her up, many with CF, and all were let down.

Let me tell you a bit about the real Gina. She doesn't have CF. She rides horses, and probably breaks their backs doing so. If she would have put a picture of herself up on her blog site as opposed to a completely oblivious friend of hers, you would have realized instantly that she did not have CF, if you know what I mean. She is messed up in the head. She brings me to believe that mental illness has to be real if someone is so messed up as to create such an intense tale without actually experiencing the pain and heartbreak that goes along with it.

Just, holy cow. On the up side, though, last night was an amazing night of singing and relaxing around the bonfire with family and friends. So many guitars going at once! A bit hard to follow, but fun nonetheless. I have to say that my cousin Justin is one of the most talented people I know. Mike, keep up on your guitar. You can play insane things, and I am absolutely awestruck by you as well! Jamie, even when you don't try, you are beautiful. Go out and get a job as a model already. Jade, your voice is like a songbird, and it was so good to actually have you up to sing with the family for a whole night. As for everyone else, you all did great as backup singers and guitar players and bass players. I have very musically talented friends and family, and I'm so lucky for every last one of you. It was great seeing you Uncle Mark, Aunt Elaine, Mike, and Tyler! Hope your trip home is a safe one and I hope you had a good stay up here on Mormon Lake. Everyone last night is the reason my life is so worth living, and I want to thank you all!
