I'm much better at writing my feelings. Whenever I actually speak about feelings, I end up crying...especially with all these hormones.
So this is what I have to say about Roadkill.
I remember my first hint of this Roadkill guy.
It was after my first Convergence, Cleo convinced me to go to this Ice cream Social thing at this guy named roadkill's house. She tried explaining this Roadkill guy as a big, scary looking dude who's all teddy bear on the inside. That didn't work well. I was still awkwardly new at this Geek community thing, and semi-terrified to go alone to some guy's house named "Roadkill."
I got to the house and kinda waited outside for about five minutes, because meeting new people can actually be scary for me sometimes. Then I went around back, and I can honestly say Amada was right on the money. Roadkill, although semi-scary looking on the outside, but not nearly as scary as I had imagined was a very warm-hearted, welcoming gentleman. I clearly remember meeting him, because you don't get a chance to meet people like that that often.
Over the next few years, Roadkill was always willing to host the party at his home, he was always willing to man up to any task, come in last minute and build a facade, and of course, take over the grill. I remember being a Misfits officer and going "who's going to man the grill at the picnic" and Roadkill always volunteered. He was always being helpful. Sure he could be gruff at time, but usually sweet, always creative, and always fun to look at, that's for sure!
He was a sweet, giving, caring man and although I didn't know him as long or as well as some others, I can say that he touched my heart and that the world needs more people who are willing to think of others first and willing to help out and be there in the ways he always was.
