Oh, my sympathies to you and his family! That's so sad.
Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Also, I'm at the air and space museum right now, it's amazing. I seem to have lost the rest of the group that came here though.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thank you everybody. Ironically, it happened around the same time I was driving home from the hotel. IIRC, I was passing the exact area and vaguely remember hearing sirens. I just talked to his parents, and as much as I hurt, they are completely torn apart.
I hate this. I. hate. this. Why do teenagers think they are indestructible? He was tempting fate from the start: driving after midnight on a restricted license, left the house without his parent's knowledge, and speeding on wet roads. Now a lot of people are grieving because consequences are the last thing a 17 year-old thinks of. I'm angry, not because of what he did, but because we'll never get to see the kind of person he'd become. Even with this sense of invincibility, he was a good kid who was going to turn out just fine.
Bleh, I know this doesn't make any sense, but I'm all over the place right now. Thanks for listening.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
{{{Maria}}} I'm so sorry, for both you, him, and everyone he was connected to.
God, I was just on the phone with my seventeen-year-old brother, talking about his future and what he wanted to do with his life. I don't even want to imagine having his life cut short like that.
