but i think it's only fair i talk about something worth remembering far more.

i had a friend who went by the online name of *Champagne* and she was a cute, sweet little thing with muscular dystrophy. her only contact with people was generally online because she required round-the-clock care. she loved everything "normal teenagers" loved and was just a real treat to talk to. just so darned sweet. i'm glad to have known her.

she passed away a few years ago, at the age of 18. but she won't be forgotten.
