Well. You already know how I feel. But I'll post here too. This one hurts. He was so damn brilliant. When I started reading his books back when I was about 12, I instantly connected with his style. He wrote like my mind thought. He talked to me so frankly, he made me laugh and cry, he was the first author I could ever honestly call my favorite. And I've never changed my mind since.

Every time I noticed how old he'd gotten I tried to push the thought from my head that this day would come.

Sucks. Balls.

This is definitely a sad moment. There's not much else to say about it for me.

hey hi hello. this is unloveablehand on my personal journal. and i was looking at your profile and pretty much i'm adding you because we have a lot in common and i think, given the chance, we could be awesome together. (if you could see me, i'd probably be winking obnoxiously right about now)
