27 May 1960

The Beatles drive away from their hotel, the Royal Station, without paying their bill. Out of money only partway through their tour backing Johnny Gentle in Scotland, their repeated calls to Larry Parnes have had no effect.

Perhaps they should get a manager.

Prompt. Chizuru decides if she can't have Orihime, she'll make Rukia hers

After one remark too many, one comment that was too much, a grope that was too unwelcome, Ichigo had finally put his foot down for good, and even Orihime had agreed: Chizuru was not her friend anymore, and she would not see her again for a long time.

Which absolutely sucked for Chiziru, because Orihime was the orettiest, bustiest, sexiest girl she had ever seen, but that was over now. But since the pervert still wanted a girl for herself, she started looking around at some others friends of Orihime. There were many sexy, busty, attractive women, and Chizuru settled on Rukia. She was smaller and didn't have the same tits, but she was still sexy with a great ass, so she would do. Then began the plan to let Chizuru have her, and then it was to put in action.

It was ultimately the same plan that Chizuru had had in mind to make Orihime hers: offer Rukia a drugged drink on a hot day, then pretend she had a gift for Orihime, so if Rukia could come with her to grab it in Chizuru's home...

And now the real fun began, as Chizuru had stripped the half-asleep, fully-aroused dark-haired girl of her pants and underwear, and now the pervert had that great ass to play with. To spank, to caress, to strike with a crop, to make Rukia whimper in pain and pleasure, to make her aroused, to watch Rukia's fat ass wobble from Chizuru's torment, to have Rukia so wet she actually begged for more after enough of this sexual torture.

And when Chizuru sank her fat futa cock inside Rukia's ass, it was heavenly. The plumpness of it, of how good it felt against Chizuru's hips as she fucked Rukia, the loud sounds of it clapping as Chiauru's thrusts rocked the girl back and forth, the great moans of her new pet and sex slave... It was all amazing.

I slept all day today. Well, that's a bit of an overstatement. For the last three hours or so, I just lay in bed, eyes closed, hoping to drop back into unconsciousness. Eventually the sound of a drill at my neighbour's drove me out of the bedroom in search of my headphones, so I could feel safe in my own brain. I haven't eaten anything yet, and I am not hungry, but I feel weak.

Depressive bouts ebb and flow. Of the symptoms of depression that used to be listed on my whiteboard, I have been ticking off many in the last week or so. I've been wondering about being so low at the bottom that the only way to go is up. At some point, the tide has to come in again. I hope it's soon.

I wish I knew how to overcome my brain's meanderings and decide the state of the tide myself.

I wish I were the moon.

National Gray Day

National Gray Day is observed on May 27 every year. This day is observed throughout the country as part of the observances of National Brain Cancer Awareness Month. National Gray Day encourages everyone to remember those lost to brain cancer, celebrate those who survived and support those who are enduring the pain and hardships of brain cancer. The day is organized by Voices Against Brain Cancer, which aims to host events throughout the country to raise awareness about brain cancer and advance research towards a cure for the disease.

History of National Gray Day

National Gray Day is organized by Voices Against Brain Cancer and is observed on May 27 throughout the country. The day is a part of the annual observance of National Brain Cancer Awareness Month. Several events are organized across the country to acknowledge those suffering from brain tumors, as well as those who have survived them. The events are geared towards spreading information about brain cancer to encourage early diagnosis and raise funds for research towards a cure.

Brain cancer causes the growth of malignant brain tumors. These tumors occur due to the formation of abnormal cells which may begin in the brain or spread from other parts of the body into the brain.

The primary symptoms of brain tumors include headaches, vomiting, seizures, mental changes, problems with vision, periods of unconsciousness, difficulty with motor movements, sensations, or difficulty with talking. However, these symptoms can be ascribed to a multitude of illnesses, making brain tumors hard to diagnose. Additional complications include the difficulty of scanning the brain because most imaging devices are disrupted by the blood-brain barrier.

Research for a cure for brain cancer is underway. Treatments range from surgery and radiation therapy to chemotherapy. All these treatments come with complications. Surgery is the preferred course of action, particularly when there is only one tumor that originated in the brain. However, multiple tumors that originated in other locations require radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

5 Facts About Brain Cancer That Will Surprise You

There are no known causes

Secondary tumors are more common

The second most common cancer in children

The lifetime cost is significant

The survival rate is not great

The cause of brain tumors remains unknown, though exposure to ionizing radiation and inherited diseases increases a person’s chances to develop tumors.

Secondary tumors, or tumors that develop elsewhere and spread to the brain, are four times as common as primary tumors.

Brain tumors are second to leukemia among cancers that occur in children.

In Australia, the cost of having brain cancer is about $1.9 million, which is the highest among all types of cancers.

The average five-year survival rate among people with brain cancer is about 36%.

Why National Gray Day is Important

We feel for people with brain cancer

We want to help find a cure

We want to support the families

We think that people with brain cancer are very brave to go through all the pain and difficulties of the disease and treatment. We want to help and support them.

We think that it is terrible that there is no cure for such a devastating disease. We want to donate to the cause and support all those working to find a cure.

People have lost their loved ones or have to watch their loved ones suffer because of brain cancer. We want to support and help these families so that they know they are not alone.
