    He did get hold of me just as I was about to head off to work, and gave me the news that my uncle, that's battled cancer for a long time finally passed away last night. Suddenly, getting to work in a hurry wasn't that high on my priority list.
    Aww, that sucks. When my grandfather (or "father's father" for the specificness that I'm used to, but that a lot of languages lack for some stupid reason) died, it was the first thing I got to know that morning. I remember being a bit annoyed at dad for not telling me later, like after breakfast, since it killed my good mood that morning.

    I had the same feeling when my grandfather (morfar) died. At the time, I was working in the same department, but another team, as my aunt (moster), and she had the week off from work because we all knew that he didn't have long left, so my mother, her mother and her siblings were at his side when he passed away.

    I was in at work at the time, and got a phone call at about 2pm in the afternoon from my mom, giving me the news, and then requested that I kept it to myself at work, because they figured that a lot of people would send condolence text messages and try to call my aunt if i told anyone.

    So I had to endure about 2 hours at work, trying to look as if nothing was wrong, even if I was devastated.
    By the time I finished work, I was such a wreck that I couldn't drive, and had to take a taxi the 10-15 miles to my grandparent's house (at least that's what I think I did, I can't really remember anything from stepping out from work until I stepped in through the door and was met by my grandmother and totally broke down weeping in her arms).

    I, and both my brother and sister, was very close to our grandfather, but I think me so a little more than the others as I'd lived at my grandparent's house while going to high school (gymnasiet) and always tried to help out with driving them anywhere they needed to go when they needed to go anywhere.

    Oh, the other point I forgot to mention is they accidentally gave me two costumes. The other is for Act 1. Which I'm not in. My friends suggested I should iust wear it backstage during Act 1 for the hell of it.
    At some point I will get photos of me in said costume. And in the other one, that I actually have to wear for the show.

    Loving is Believing - A fanatical reader of romance novels finally meets her dream man, only to discover him to be cynical and iaded after years of disappointment. Can she convince him that true love and 'happily ever after's can happen in the real world?

    It seems the measure of these made up hypothetical books is how much effort it takes not to iust make fun of them.

    What happens when Lord Perfect and Cassidy Cowgirl meet under the moonlight only to discover that one is secretly a vampire, and the other a ninja assassin?

    Also, they are both supposed to be married to someone else and Lord Perfect is dying of a fatal disease that only his wife-to-be can cure.

    Cross-genre ridiculosity detracts from it being believable as an actual book of this type.
    Also, the "Also, they are..." is too matter of fact. The description has to all flow smoothly from the basic question of "How will they ever cope with being in the lahvs with each other OMGOMGOMG."

    Little brother the Pyromaniac has built a miniature mortar which he loads with blackpowder and uses to fire away small pyrotechnics (flashes are good when it's dark, while smoke makes for cool daytime effects). I usually frown upon his pyromania, but I have to admit that this is cool.

    Unrelated, but something I've been thinking about -

    Now, I really dislike sweet flavors; always have. They just taste disgusting to me, whether in the form of desserts or jams or...well, for some strange reason, actually, I do like fruit. But other than that, I just can't abide sweet tastes.
    My friends all say that this is really strange, and obviously it's outside the norm...but is anyone else like this? Or is it really that bizarre?

    In the same vein, does anyone have any idea why I might have such a strong dislike of sweetness, and why fruit might be exempt?

    There's no real reason "why" anyone has a dislike of certain flavors. They just do. It's true that it's a rare issue, but there's nothing particularly strange about it.
