Yikes, there has been a series of shootings at Virgina Tech.

And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Ann, that's a ferret.
When I first heard about it an hour ago, the report was one dead, one shooter in custody, and another being sought.
Egad.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
flea, I've heard tell that whippets are very bright and quirky and vaguely catlike. The only whippet I've personally met didn't strike me as especially catlike, but he was certainly very poised and self-possessed and gentlemanly. Also, they're prone to fewer ugly genetic issues than most purebreds (I saw one book that claimed whippets in fact have none at all -- don't know how true that is, but anything even close to that is good).

There is something wrong with the headline " Woman's body found in Arundel tributary" being right next to the headline and photo from an entirely unrelated story titled "Springtime at the dump."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That still seems to be the case. The first shooting was about two hours earlier, also. Freaky.

To clarify:
One shooter, one victim, about 7:15 in a dorm - both shooter and victim are dead.
About two hours later - another shooter, right now about 20 dead and 20 wounded, and that shooter is still on the loose.
I'm majorly wigged. But not as much as my sister, whose birthday falls this week. (Waco, Columbine, and now this?)

I'm sorry, there is a shooting in a dorm at 7:15 am and you're still having classes at 9:30? WTF?

Horrible cross-post. Twenty dead? There are no words. Or, plenty of words, but none fully adequate.

It is very wigg worthy. How awful.
Edit: The shootings not whippets.
