'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Shir, of course. Insent. eta: and message passed along
I am grateful that I was able to spend time with BC in LA. Brendon and I were both impressed with him in so many ways. It is so wrong and heartbreaking.
I had another friend succumb to liver cancer just 2 days ago. She was an RN who contracted HepC from an emergency patient. She had had a successful liver transplant and followed every rule for keeping her new organ healthy, but cancer has no rules. It is only cruel.
Thank you, Laura. I sent back an email.
I'll write more later from home (currently at work), but I truly feel lucky and grateful to know and interact with BC. He truly enriches this world. A wonderful, wonderful human being.
Love to all here, too.
Thank you for the update, Pix.
Also, fuck cancer. Fuck it up the RNA and out the plasma membrane. Fuck it left, right, and center. Fuck cancer.
Fuck cancer. Fuck it sideways with a chainsaw.
Fuck cancer. I never met omnis but he seemed like a super decent human being, and we have far too few of those these days.
Fair winds and following seas, BC.
What Suela said.
What Jesse and Suela said.
You will be missed, BC.
ION, a small fire has broken out by the side of the road just down the hill from my building. I think it's a controlled trash fire. But when someone said, "Hey, a fire!" three-quarters of my co-workers stood up eagerly to see. Yes, I went to the window and observed intelligently, "Wow, actual flames," and a guy who hadn't stood up said with interest, "Really?"
Obnoxious but clever guy said, "Breaking news! Small fire captivates 800 highly trained software employees!"
In the words of Beavis, "Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!"
I feel so grateful to know BC and to have met him in person. He is such a genuinely good person. It feels so unfair and wrong that he's leaving so soon. I was in denial, hoping we'd have another year with him. It's a blessing that he's had family and friends around him these last months, and I hope he knows he's loved and cherished and we'll miss him so so much.
(He's a good kisser too, but I'm not putting that on his wall...)
Damn it. Why do the good people go too soon.
I remember a night in Seattle (I think) when you tested that out.
I'd been sending cards - and confused the poor guy no end at first - but I've slacked off, since things have gotten busy. I'll try to be better.
