MyLifeIsAverage

Life is pretty normal today.
Recently I was diagnosed with cancer and was sen to get treated in the childrens hospital. I'm a teenager. Yesterday while I was waiting for my nurse to come out I decided to try and entertain a group of the younger children in the waiting room. I yelled "the floor is lava" and the game was set in motion. The 5 of us continued to play for at least an hour. When we were too tired to continue I took to reading MLIA stories to them outloud, which they loved. They wanted to know if they could get their names on this cool site. It was one of the best days in my life. This is for you Rylie Adams, Cameron Shicks, Macie Kellen and Jace McKlough. We'll make it through. <3

Sad, yes. Average, how?
 
[ - ]  supervacaneousGood: 61Bad: 111 year, 11 months ago
I like average stories. I like this story. Therefore, this story is average.
 
[ - ]  taylordikeGood: 41Bad: 171 year, 11 months ago
You know, there is no such physical thing as average, like how a ring or a computer is physical. Average is just a matter of opinion, what I may think is average, someone else may think is totally weird. It's all depending on your personality and everything...
 
[ - ]  supervacaneousGood: 8Bad: 131 year, 11 months ago
Even though my reasoning isn't the least bit solid, I'd like to add that there is no such a physical thing known as the interwebz, but here we are.
 
[ - ]  taylordikeGood: 10Bad: 101 year, 11 months ago
This is true. But technically, we aren't in the internet. We submit text on the screen that then becomes public.
 
[ - ]  racheladriaGood: 3Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago
average is a gerneralization, like in math the mean of a group of numbers is an average... although your point is valid to a certian degree.

Luckily before I died, I slathered my fingers with bbq sauce just for this purpose. It's always been my lifelong dream to have my fingers nommed on by cannibals after I was dead.

I've known people who've died of cancer also. But I have the immense talent of being able to make offending jokes about absolutely anything.

Lol, its from a song that's a parody of Tik Tok (sp?) by Kesha or whatever the fuck her name is. It's called "GO COPS" in case you want to look it up.

[ - ]  AndWeAllSaidMooGood: 6Bad: 221 year, 11 months ago
Sorry, not buying it. There are dozens of posts asking to get posted because of someone who has cancer. It was sweet the first 10 times though :)
 
[ - ]  opalqueanGood: 17Bad: 101 year, 11 months ago
I have two grandparents who died of cancer, so please don't get all outraged at me, but...this should not be what this site is about! Seriously, there are way too many of these posts. Yes, cancer is sad. But using it to get a post on MLIA is pretty pathetic. If you really want to do a tribute to somebody, have some dignity and post an actually original story, and dedicate it to them. Or go buy some flowers and put it on their grave, or write a poem about them, or tell stories about them to keep their memory alive. Don't be an attention whore to get a story posted, it sullies their memory.
 
[ - ]  opalqueanGood: 6Bad: 111 year, 11 months ago
And yes, I realize that death isn't in this story, but I'm talking about the general format, and the preponderance of cancer sob stories.
 
[ - ]  mylifeistothepointeGood: 5Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago
Ok chill, this was a sweet story and the kids just wanted to see their names on mlia. How is that bothering anyone? I don't see stories lime this often so it's not like it's changing the whole site or I doubt you have seen many story like these. Now I'm assuming that this story is true which why would someone think that much into writing a fake story about cancer anyways? Just chill!
 
[ - ]  BaronessofMuffinsGood: 24Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago
You don't make jokes of something serious like cancer. No matter how talented you are in making a joke out of everything. It's not like it's a good thing. So, OP, I wish you and your new friends all the strengh and support you need to fight that stupid cancer! Never stop fighting!! I've lost a close family member through cancer a few years ago and I don't wish for anyone to go through what I've been through.

[ - ]  dontstopGood: 30Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago
you guys are all ass holes... cancer is part of the average life... so stop bitching because someone posted it on this site.. this site is called "my life is average" not "my life is not average because people have no hearts towards reality" get a life... my dad died of cancer 4 days ago.. so dont even dare tell me cancer isnt average because clearly by how many people have stated on this and other posts towards cancer that theyve had it or known someone whos died of cancer... that proves its more real in life then you are...grow up
 
[ - ]  good_gurl5392Good: 17Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago
you all are immature! get a life and learn some respect! My sister's fiance's sister died of cancer about a year ago so all of you who don't know what it is like to know someone with cancer need to shut up because sometimes people submit stories on here not to get attention but too make sure they are remembered. My grandma is dying from cancer right now and it's the hardest thiing i've had to go through. Grow the hell up and get it through your head that you aren't the only ones in this world!! somethings are more important that you! to the poster- I'm praying for you all... be strong and never give up faith!
 
[ - ]  whyhellothere17Good: 11Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago
this almost made me cry. =/ my grandfather and my friend died of cancer last year. and all you a-holes saying this isn't true go fck yourselves. you don't know what it's like. anyway, i really hope and pray you all make it through- stay strong!

Mkay everyones talking about how they know peoplewho have passed away because of cancer. Well here something a bit brighter, my mom was diagnosed withbreast cancer this past November of 2009 and honestlyit was unexpected that it was devastating! We were all scared and mostly because we didn't know what was going to happen or what was going on. She went to her docto and was told that she would have a double mastectomy which was hard to handle. We had everyone praying for her and even my dads dealers. Co-workerhadtheir churches praying. She thendecided to get a second opinion from another doctor and this visit was much more appealing. She was told that she wouldntevenneed a mastectomy because cancer was only in one breast and she would just have a lumpectomy which a smaller and less noticeable surgery. She then went on to do radiation and finished that a couple weeks ago. It is now February 2010 and my mom is cancer free. I did a lot of crying duringthat period but that moment that we found out she was cancer free was the hardest I've ever cried in my life.
 
[ - ]  mylifeistothepointeGood: 3Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago
My church and I will be praying for you guys. Think positive, stay strong, and NEVER, EVER give up hope.
 
[ - ]  meottoGood: 3Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago
I will be praying for you and your friends. God bless and exactly what mylifeistothepointe said.. Never ever give up hope! I pray everday for a cure... my grandma passed away 10 years ago from breast cancer.. i only hope that people dont have to suffer anymore.. especially young people. You're in my heart and I hope you all are doing well!
 
[ - ]  tol0423Good: 1Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago
Oh wow. Hope you're doing well! It's average moments like these that give us optimism. You're in my thoughts.
 
[ - ]  wobbuffettGood: 0Bad: 71 year, 11 months ago
The part about the cancer diagnosis was completely irrelevant to the rest of the submission.
 
[ - ]  haveyoulaughedtodayGood: 2Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago
that is an awesome story....i had a friend that had cancer she got it early on after her mother got breast cancer....she had it bad and basically uncurable...she did pass but she had i lot of new experiences because of her cancer and she was happy till the day she passed i will always remember you laura....i tell you this not to make you sad just to help you to remember to have fun.... :)
