Really Kate here.
Maria, I'm so sorry to hear of this sadness. Best thoughts to all involved.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

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!

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.

There won't be an ND cam, we don't have broadband in the Hospitaly Suite. Sorry!

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Maria, I'm so sorry to hear about this tragedy.
Nothing to do but this, I think. {{{{{{{{Maria }}}}}}}}}}}
