Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Holy Crap! That is just to the northeast of us. Not a theater we have ever gone to but I know where it is. YIKES. That is horrible. 50 people wounded in addition to the dead. I want to go hug CJ now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My god, that's horrible.

I just read the news and had to come check in on Suzi and her family. Glad to hear you all stayed safe! What an awful, scary thing to happen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What is wrong with people??

Glad Suzi and fam weren't there. It sounds terrifying.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Just awful. I'm so, so glad CJ was at a different theater, but just sick that it happened at all. So many people were so giddily excited with utter fannish glee about that very first showing; it just seems especially horrifying that something that should have been just pure communal mid-summer fannish joy should have turned into death and grief and panic.

What the fuck, humans? 24 years old. God damn it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Seriously.

And on a minor note, now, my glass repair just got scheduled between 11 & 1, so, no matinee for me.
