Love doesn't have a heart, and so it rips out your own.
-Joan D. Vinge, Psion
So, this year, Nicky Carter and Anne McCaffrey died. A lot of people knew Annie, the writer. She let me live with her for a summer a long time ago, so I knew her a bit as Annie, the person. And she was awesomely brave and loud and bold and kind. And not nearly so many people knew Nick. Nick was the director of a program called LEAP, and he wrote and directed full length musicals with all-child (or nearly all-child) casts. And I became a drama nerd because of him. And he was awesomely wild and loud and brash and sweet.
I haven't seen either of them in many years, and I only just found out they died. And I miss them terribly already.
