Ugh

In the words of Snape: clearly, fame isn't everything.

There might be more to the story, but from the sounds of it, the guy decided to attack two innocent kids. How wonderful.

The kids were possibly being a bit annoying, but there's other ways to deal with those things. Besides, they were just that - kids, who actually admired the player enough to want his autograph badly enough to wait.

I know celebrities probably get tired of being interrupted for autographs. But three men against two kids... that's not necessary, no matter what.

Sad news

As I was reading my flist, I came across some sad news. A fellow fandomer, Katie O'Brien - not KatieOWrites -  has died of cancer. (I wanted to make that clear, not in disrespect to this Katie's memory, but to make sure nobody who knows the other Katie panics).

I never knew her, and yet, I feel affected in some way. Katie, rest in peace.

Warm heart

Determined soul

May you rest in Heaven

And may the words you wrote

The lives you touched

Remain within those who love you

Last longer than time itself
