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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would really like to know who first reblogged that Bikers Against Child Abuse to get the ball rolling -- I have never been involved with something that went viral! It now has 27K notes.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It appears to have been a very planned attack -- waiting until the theatre is dark and the film is showing a scene with gunfire.

Horrible. My boss just old me about it, so I wanted to make sure our CO peeps had checked in. The horror and loss. No words.

Because distraction is good, the Morning Matilda Report:

::sniff, sniff, nuzzle:: Mommy, you smell like gravity and coffee.

What does gravity smell like?

I don't know. Something I think with lemons, and maybe dirt I think. Lemons and dirt.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Matilda sounds a little like the girl who thought Jane Eyre looked like she was mining, mining for gold!

I can't believe the shooting in the movie theatre. It just seems so random.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Knowing where Stephanie and Nicole live, I highly doubt either were at that theater.

I'm still gobsmacked. The people I know who live over there are more casual friends than people I can contact and check on. So I have this gut worry with no way to make it go away.

My body is so sore from dancing. We have been trying to go out every Thursday, but last night was the latest we stayed out (since I had to stay awake until 3am).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't believe that shooting. And the movie is so violent--to come out of it and read that, my head is screaming DON'T YOU GET THE POINT OF BATMAN???!!!! But it's probably me not getting the point. The stupid depressing people-can-be-shit point.
