Oh peoples... I think I need to go to bed and cry now. Anjali Pai, who I went to high school with died yesterday in a car crash. She was into Harry Potter and our fannish interests never really overlapped, but some of you might have known her as
anjenue or
cherrypai. My best memory of her is from our senior year when she and the theater group did Rent in Mac Cafe. I saw Rent on it's original tour, but there was something amazing and just so moving about Rent put on in our dorm's common room with just the most basic of costumes and props. It's one of my most cherished memories of high school.
blackwylf,
eviltiffy, I don't know if either of you knew her, but someone's set up a comm to leave condolences at if you did:
