There are very few people i truly enjoy, yet tons i would like to be updated about. This, is why i have Facebook. This allows me the joys of watching and learning about people without really putting forth the efforts to be friendly, or take a real interest in their lives. In this way you can feel free to judge them openly in the comforts of your own home or local coffee shop. So tonight, while updating my social knowledge, i found a picture of this girl i “know” and her two friends. Its when i look closely that i say aloud to my self, “hey, its cancer girl and…that guy…” Then it hit me, she doesn’t, well at least in the picture, look as “cancer-y” as she used to. Which got me wondering, is it still appropriate to still call her cancer girl? You see when i first started calling cancer girl, cancer girl, I didn’t really know if she had cancer. I was fairly sure something was wrong with her, but i wasn’t exactly sure and school rumors where doing her no justice. And, so she was cancer girl, because she basically looked like what i expected a person to have cancer to look like. now, i know it is wrong to me to say that cancer victim/survivors have a certain look about them, but in my head there are two genres of cancer: _______ cancer (fill in the blank with a body part/organ) and then there is a very general non specified cancer, or what i like to call, just plain Cancer. Oh, and then there is AIDS, which is different all together… Now in my mind women with breast cancer wear a lot of make up and pink ribbon pens. Dudes with testicular cancer like motor cross. and people with regular old cancer are thin, and have funny hair, this is not to be confused with people who have bad hair cuts, they don’t have cancer, they just wish they did to excuse their gross do. So again, the dilemma, now that cancer girl is in photographic remission, and i just have to assume it’s real-life counterpart due to my actual lack of interest in her real life besides this particular blog, is she still cancer girl? one might think that the natural solution to this is to just call her remission girl, which, while logical lacks a certain, je ne sais quoi. cancer girl, while not totally socially acceptable was a fitting choice and perhaps still is, i mean I did “know’ her originally as cancer girl and i suppose she will always in my heart be that, which, in my opinion is way better than that wierd band girl, because at least you don’t choose to have non specified cancer. Cancer girl, you are in my heart.
