I'm holding it together, mostly because I have a bunch of work to do.
However, tonight is going to be rereading the Tiffany Aching books and crying.
Fucking hell. We knew it was coming, but.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh, honey. You were the first person I thought of when I read the news. It's so fucking unfair.

I am very glad I got to go to the last reading he did in Seattle. [link]

I'll admit, the impulse to email Neil with an all-caps message of "YOU DON'T GET TO DIE, ONE OF THE PEOPLE I ADMIRE HAS TO BE IMMORTAL, DAMMIT" is pretty strong. I won't actually do it, but I'm tempted.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Don't do it in all caps, at least. It'd be like speaking for the reaper.
...
Actually, yes all caps.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
RIP Sir Terry. Buggrit.

I didn't use all-caps, but I did PM Neil on Twitter.
He wrote back and said he'd try.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
All caps is totally appropriate. Imagine Sir Terry meeting his best character...
NOW THEN, ABOUT MY CHARACTERIZATION.

Brava, Jilli.
I was sad to realize I have no Discworld on my iPod, must fix that.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Fucking hell. We knew it was coming, but.
We did. It didn't make it much easier to read. But maybe a little. Except, no. I hate to think of him suffering but I hate the world without him.
