From a call this morning: my uncle and his boyfriend had moved to Florida and ran out of money.  They were living in a rented house with no utilities connected.  Somehow, they still managed to afford drugs, though, and purchased some pills of some sort, which they crushed and mixed with (probably) hot water in order to inject in between their toes.  Both overdosed and died fairly soon after (ten minutes was the quoted number).  After the full autopsy, they will likely be cremated and sent.. somewhere.  My family wants to keep them together wherever they go, since they were together for something like 20 years, but we need to okay that with the other next-of-kin.  

While I wasn't particularly close to the uncle, and this wasn't much of a surprise due to him having used and abused Heroin since as long as I can remember, I DID look up to him for maintaining a relationship for that long and through all that mess.  I'm not surprised by this happening, just.. sad.  I don't know, I'm sure I need more time to think about it.

Anyway, I got my iPhone today :oP
