Creepy But Nobody Said Life Wasn't

Just found out that a girl I went to high school with overdosed on heroin recently.

Rough.

There's no casual association with that stuff, is there? There's no, "What do I do for fun? Well, I knit, I jog, I dabble in heroin from time to time..."

It gives one pause.

Soon after I got that news, I spoke with a close friend I haven't spoken to in awhile who asked, "So, tell me what's new? What's good? What's goin on? Tell me something good about you?"

"Well, nothing really, I guess, " I said.

"Come on, what's new? What's good?"

"Well, I'm not dead yet," I replied.

"That's the stupidest thing I ever heard!" he shouted.

Is it?
