an article and couple of pictures
I don't read the news and I definitely don't often check it. On the morning Alan passed away in London I was across the globe in my bed in Southern California and woke up to several missed calls, text messages, and many messages on social media. None of them informing me directly, just asking me if I was doing all right, had I heard. One of them actually had the name Alan Rickman in them. (No sentence, just his name.) I thought, oh no no no. That's got to be false. It wouldn't be the first time someone frantically informed me of something only for me to debunk it's truth swiftly. Unfortunately, of course, I was wrong. It was a really shitty way to find out but I don't imagine I can think of a better way really. It was going to be crap no matter what. And here we are now, 4 days later, and it feels like it just happened. So I am still checking the news, as I have every day since that day, hoping to read something uplifting I guess.

I saw this view of Kate Winslet at an awards ceremony of some kind and thought she was lovely and I would share. Her sentiment about the ceremony sums up how I feel about lots of things. (How can I be expected to care about the state of my hair or what we're going to make for dinner? Alan has died.)
It's surreal but my lj community, as well as friends on various social media outlets, has really made this a lot easier for me and it is appreciated. We're on the same wave length and shared pain is easier to bear than suffering alone.
I will be going through several photos on my old lj (_redcorvette) and posting my favorite older photos when I can.
