We should probably take this to the F2F thread.
Okay, heading there now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, wow. An actor I've worked with is competing in the Paralympics. [link]

Neat. I remember her from that show at the Goodman.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I freaking love the Paralympics.
ION, I finally did my piece of the reviews of my boss and another coworker! I kind of wish/hope my boss asked some other people for feedback on me, but wasn't confident enough to request it. Ah well.

I am still mad at myself for discarding (maybe 3 years ago) my collection of video tapes of ATWT and GL. I think I had every episode from about 1986 - 1991-- maybe longer. I could have put them up on youtube!
A lot of them are up on you tube. I threw out a bunch of tapes too, but the picture quality and sound on them were really poor.

For some reason, the alumni of my high school have a face book group to post about people who graduated from that school who have died. A lot of it is remembering people who died while they were in school. Because I come from a small town, there are people who are a good 10 or 15 years older than me who I know as well as people who are younger than I am. Holy moses, it is depressing looking at this long list of kids who died in tractor accidents, football accidents, boating accidents, falling off pick-up trucks, gun accidents and suicides. Not to mention the murder. One thing I can say that is good, is there seemed to be a lot more accidents in the 70's and 80's than now- better safety precautions, less farming and hunting in the community (not that that is necessarily good) less drunk driving.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Falling off pickup trucks? There aren't many good ways to die, but that's really really not one. Please don't do that.

That's how my uncle died in WWII. Fell off the back of a troop carrier and bonked his head. Kaput.

Uggghhhh. My poor cat puked everywhere today. Granted, my apartment is a nightmare of boxes, so I'm sure he's stressed out in addition to being sick, but now he's hiding in the closet, which is such a recent development, it makes me sad. Poor sick boo!
