I would like to do that "Five times [fic prompt]" thingy! I am willing to accept any fandom in my user pics. An example! Five times Miss Parker nearly killed Jarod. Or five times Lucy made Edmund very angry. Or five times Rogue nearly defected to the Brotherhood in the movieverse (adlfkjalkdsjflaksdjf)


I CAN'T STOP STARING AT THIS, MY NEWEST ICON.

(no subject)

There are other places I'd usually say this, other journals I'd use and other words I'd say, but on Monday, Steve Irwin died, and everyone was very sad. I learnt a lot about Steve Irwin this week - I was astonished at the out pouring of grief from people who aren't Australian, amazed to find out he was a Tourism Australia ambassador, amazed to find out he was considered a conservationist. And it was freaky, the way he died doing something he loved.

Just over five hours ago, Australian motor racer Peter Brock was killed coming out of a hairpin turn at a rally at Gidgegannup, a place I spent a chunk of time in as a child. He was a racing great, and he died whilst racing. And this is bigger to me, means more to me, than Steve Irwin's death. But aside from that, it's a little weird that two Australian icons died doing the things that they love, in the same week.

And I'm just posting this here because I haven't seen anyone say it yet, and yeah. I'm a big dag for liking motor sports, but who didn't like Peter Brock? I mean seriously.
