I have a very special skill of putting my foot in my mouth constantly. Not literally, but you know, saying stupid shit that I dwell on endlessly, sometimes for years. Well, I think last night was the topper of all foot-in-mouth disgraces.

I saw someone that I hadn't seen in years. She's one of the few people on this planet that I really respect and like as a person. We've never been close, but I'm not really close with anyone. Another friend was explaining to her the plot of the movie 'Beaches' and I was going on about how awful the movie is. Knowing that she would never see this movie, and trying to get a cheap laugh I blurted out, "AND ONE OF THEM DIES OF CANCER IN THE END! THE END!" in the middle of her plot explaination. No one laughed and I thought....fuck I must have ruined the movie for her. Maybe she did want to see it. And then moments later I remembered my friends mother died of cancer about a year ago. I'm the biggest fucking asshole on the planet, no? This is why I never talk to people.
