God, too many of us know people with these kind of stories.
When I was 16, a girl from my old German class back in California (same age) was killed in a motorcycle accident. Monica and her dad were into motorcross, and they were out on the track when she fell off her bike after landing a jump badly. Her dad didn't see that she'd fallen and when he landed the same jump, he landed directly on her abdomen. She went into a coma and died two days later from internal bleeding.
My family wonders why I never want to learn how to drive.

I drove over to this store and arrived roughly one minute before it shut to explain my problem to the elderly proprietor, who must have been about sixty to seventy years old. This seems improbable because his shop looked like a junk store, full of old broken TVs and computers from the mid 90s. However, as soon as I described the type of connector needed, he instantly found one and happily sold it to me for two pounds sterling.
I just tried it and it works fine. I'm all HD'd up and good to go. Life is weird sometimes.

I thought you lived in Aberdeen?
I think I know the store you're talking about actually. Surprisingly those type of shops are often the best, the owner usually knows everything about electronics.

Dear Blog thread:
Have discovered a band called Voltaire, rather enjoying the song "When you're evil" and I am thinking of making it my theme song.
Also, have finished my exams for this week, 1 more to go.

Tommy, you live oddly close to my stomping ground when I'm in Scotland, but not close enough that we'll ever have run into each other and not realised it, I think.
There's a public school in my town (for anyone who isn't British, that's a private school) where on the last day of term on year, a boy who had just finished compulsory schooling wrote "LAST DAY" in white paint on the wall of the entrance way and then was killed in a traffic accident on the way home. It was a lot of years ago but the student who has been at the school longest repaints the words on the last day of term every year, as a tribute to him. I think that's a nice way to remember someone, even if it's a horrible thing to be remembered for.
Today I had my Law exam! And it went well! All the revision I've been doing has paid off! I'm even hoping for another ace, although I'm not going to count on it because I have no real idea if I put in everything or if I missed stuff or what. Luckily Law exams are mostly about showing what you do know rather than being decredited for what you don't know.
I will go shopping tomorrow and buy some new clothes, and I will not do even a jot of work until Monday.
