A girl I know OD'd last night....

I wouldn't exactly say I was buddy-buddy with her but I knew her from the neighborhood. She was always cool. I saw her last Sunday on the street. It was about 90 fucking degrees outside and I had just gotten an ice cold orange Crush from the corner bodega and I crossed the street to talk to a friend of mine and she was standing there. I hadn't seen her in since last summer because she had been hiding out (she was running from a warrant). So I said, "Whassup, Jaime?" and she went to smack me on my ass and wound up knocking the pop out of my hand. I got pissed and I snapped off on her. I feel kinda bad about that.

She wasn't a perfect person but she was cool people. That's a fucked up way to die, though, OD-ing in the basement of a crack house

Life is so very fragile.

Sorry to hear about that, but if I were to have an accidental death, an O.D. would be the way to go. You would feel no pain at all.

I think Jaime was in alot of pain, actually. It just wasn't physical.

poor girl =(

do you know how old she was?

I knew a guy who died from an OD, I wasn't even aware he was addicted

[hardnox71]

do you know how old she was?

About 33.

I knew she was addicted. I knew she turned tricks every now and then (and NO, I did not know her like that). But she was still cool with me. And pretty gotdamned tough for a little white girl in this neighborhood.

damn, hopefully she's in a better place

You don't have to be addicted to O.D.

You don't have to be addicted to O.D.
What I was gonna say. Some people don't understand the difference between someone who takes drugs and a "drug addict".

But crack is always a bad idea, really.

Very True.
