I can't believe I'm writing this.

I'm sure that 95% of my f-list knows already, but I'll post the link: http://miami.cbslocal.com/2012/06/04/former-cbs4-web-producer-kim-chapin-dead-at-27/


psyco_chick32 passed away this weekend.

I can't even really parse how I feel.  It's so strange to mourn someone you've never met.  And I feel stupid posting this as most of you who know her are probably feeling as awful as me right now without having to play it out on the internet.  I don't want this to be all "look at me and how sad I am," but I did want to say something.

I will really miss my friend. My thoughts and feelings go out to her family, friends, and anyone who knew her.

I saw your post on the Latest page and recognized her username from fic_promptly. I enjoyed her prompts, and I'm so sorry for those that knew her.

She was really fantastic. I still can't believe it.

Thanks for replying. It's so great to hear from those who were familiar with her.

I hope it's all right; I asked denise to make hers into a memorial journal.

Sometimes it helps to mourn out loud. I'm still in shock, I think; I'm not sure I ever want this news to really set in.

*hugs* I'm really going to miss her :-/

I know. You know how we were talking just a few weeks ago about people online faking their deaths? I keep hoping that's what's going on despite the news story.

It's just awful. There are so many terrible people in this world who live long, hateful lives. For her to pass away so young is just enraging my sense of justice for this world.

That was my first instinct as well - please God don't let this be real. That's why I logged into FB and yeah. :-/

I think the way she died just makes it all the more bitter for me. She had so much trouble with her health, and its like - it stole her away from us, you know? Fuck epilepsy.

(Mostly, I just wish I'd been a better friend.)

[starzki]

I couldn't see the Facebook page.

And I know you you feel about the bitterness. But I keep going back to the times she's made me laugh hysterically. And I'm sorry that there won't be more of those moments in the future.

I'm seriously glad to have known her.

i... am glad you posted this because i had no idea.

just... dang.

[starzki]

I'm still processing, myself. This sucks.

I really should thank you, though. That I even "met" her to begin with was through you. You kept talking about mirsan_fics, and when I went to check it out, I saw her and how funny and witty she was that I just had to friend her.

So, thank you. *hugs*
