I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Now Twitter is saying that law enforcement is reporting that 1 shooter is dead, but it's possible that there's more than 1.

So I have a 5 cm gallstone and my gallbladder has got to go. Scheduling could be as early as today, late as next week.

Oh, no! Gallbladders seems to be an organ very prone to faulty behavior.

This is the first campus shooting where friends of mine have kids at the campus. So, that sucks.

Yeah, Chatty!former!co-worker's son goes there, but Chatty's wife posted on FB that their son is fine. I think they're the only people I know who have a kid at OSU.

Ow Sara!! But glad you at least got it cleared up? 5 cm??? That's huge!!

Here's hoping the shooting is overblown and wasn't many people/many shooters? I feel like that's a sad commentary on American life how normalized this is.

Msbelle I hope the wheels of bureaucracy start turning faster for you!

They'd like me to wait until this cold is mostly done, unless I can't eat without discomfort. Except...I don't like eating with a cold, much less a fucked up gallbladdder!

yikes, sarameg! Good luck!

And how awful is it that my first response to the OSU shooting news is "not another one". Goddammit people. Stop trying to fix your life by taking others'.

It sounds like 9 people were shot (or otherwise hurt; one report says that someone pulled a fire alarm and then when people were outside, the shooter drove into the crowd, then got out and had a gun and a machete), 1 shooter is dead, and maybe that LEOs have captured 2 other suspects alive.

What the shit, man.
