Oh man... that's awful. :/

I would just like to draw attention to everyone reading the above that this should
be interpreted as 'I am not dead'. I will, of course, be dead at some future point, as
will everybody else. For me, this maybe further off than you think - it's too soon to tell.
I know it's a very human thing to say "Is there anything I can do", but in this case I
would only entertain offers from very high-end experts in brain chemistry.

That's what he says. I really love that man, you know?

...oh my god.

Okay, the fact that he tacked on a :o) at the end makes me want to cry.

DDDDDDDDDD:

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly. And he's all 'I'm not dead yet', and that makes me want to weep even more.

how old is he?

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

[delle.livejournal.com]

damn. he seems to have a good attitude, on the announcement. but still, damn.

Oh no! :-(

[lyras.livejournal.com]

So upsetting. He's being all upbeat and sensible about it, which is just what you'd expect of him, but...wah.

Yeah. It's the kind of attitude you'd expect from Terry Pratchett. He's probably writing another Death book even as we speak. :(

(Have you read anything by him? How can I convince you to read anything by him?)

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

Waaah! He's probably out there writing another Death book, you know? Or inserting eleventy million death jokes in whatever it is that he's writing? ♥

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

:(

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

Ditto.
