[dazed, friends]

[wispfox]

So... I just found out that my longest term friend nearly died last week, due to a nasty allergic reaction to (probably) a plant she brushed against while hiking in woods while visiting SF. I found out because I was calling to determine if I was visiting them or if (preferred) they were visiting me, on the 13th.

I have to wonder if anyone would have thought to tell me, if she hadn't survived.

Which of course, brings me to the thought that it's rather depressing that my emergency contact is still my parents.

Yeah.

[edit: As I would like to stop confusing people with my minimal reaction, I point at the 'nearly' and the 'if she hadn't survived' parts, above.]

i *so* missed the 'nearly' the first time around, and was ...taken aback, i guess? quite sad, but also quite startled at the understated reaction.

then i re-read and heaved a sigh of relief. good heavens. i assume this is j-sans-lj?

Hmm. I should perhaps emphasize 'nearly'. Although... I'd have thought 'if she hadn't survived' would also have made it apparent?

And yes, J-without-LJ.

it did make it apparent, which is why i re-read.

Made for a rather... odd conversation, I must say.
