Received devastating news one of my cousin's who i haven't seen much of lately due to having little free time being dad's carer, well my cousin has a brain tumour which they operated on but couldn't fully remove & had drug trial which stopped it growing back. Safly the drugs no longer work & the tumour growing again which doctor's say will eventually kill him, the only solution is radiotherapy to prolonge his life but my cousin said does he want endure the treatment if it affects the quality of life he has left? I'm so sorry to hear this, it's truly terrible. I hardly know what to say but am wishing you lots of strength and calm and more time to spend with the people you'd choose to spend more time with.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Let him see that you care. Don't let emotions stop you making new memories with him.

Greedy Smith, lead singer of Mental As Anything, died overnight. The Mentals were one of the greatest bands in Australian music history. They've been a part of the soundtrack of my life since I was about 9.

What a impossible choice, this news flawed me & my other cousin & if that ain't bad enough my cousin wife dad may have cancer. Gutted, heartbroken, just feel numb, helpless, angry, cheated. Sorry to hear this dude

Sorry to hear this dude Cheers buddy, soul destroying, his family devastated thought the trial treatment working well sadly stopped working all can do prolong his life with radiotherapy. I literally given up on this world & humanity, good people shouldn't have to endure what my cousin going through.

Our carpeted floor tiles for our massive shed have been delivered. We went with a smokey grey colour as the walls and ceiling are bright white. The handyman who rebuilt the inside saw a 50% off sale at a warehouse factory and called us the other day. $aved a whole lot of $$.. now to glue them down onto the concrete floor. I physically can't do it atm argh.

Being annoyed at myself for the millionth time that I can’t describe the plot of a tv show or movie I like verbally without it sounding like monotone word vomit🤮For some reason whenever I try to describe plots of things I have watched, read, or listened to, to people (especially to my boyfriend)I just get so excited by all the details of it that my mind races too fast and comes through in a garbled breathless mess of long monotone descriptions! It’s very frustrating, because I can talk about plots well when I write things down (like on this forum) or if I rehearse it (like a performance), but making casual conversation in person about these things I am just hopeless at. I even asked my boyfriend if I could practice describing plots and he could give me constructive criticism afterwards. I know he’s trying to help me point out things I have trouble with because he loves me,but sometimes I just really struggle with awkwardness in social edict. My boyfriend suggested maybe I need to socialize more in general to practice these things. I think I am just naturally a very socially awkward person🤔 Any advice? Do you guys ever have similar problems?
Sometimes I feel like my brain is a volcano that is erupting with over enthusiasm and too many details and it all bursts out uncontrollably!🌋

Also I am deeply embarrassed/slightly worried that the fan mail I sent someone(I don’t want to say who) a few weeks ago was too awkward and weird. I may have written to a former who actor asking their opinion on story idea I would pitch were I to ever we’re I ever to be given the opportunity (some time in the future) to write for Big Finish some day, and if they would be interested in performing my idea. I keep alternating between thinking yes, it was a good idea and no that’s way to awkward. I especially feel awkward because today I saw a clip of them saying that they were not ready yet to do big finish just yet. At the same time I feel like maybe by the time they are ready I could get myself noticed enough to be given the opportunity to write for them🤔 I made sure I included for them to take their time to respond to me because I know they must be very busy 🤔I don’t know I both really want to hear back from them but at the same time I kind of nervous that they will think my ideas are too weird😳 maybe I am over thinking things🤷🏻♀️

Completely flawed him this news as previous check up showed improvement, so we all thought this drug trial obviously working, sadly not the case. Thank you for the kind words rran, i as his cousin feel helpless, i can't do anything to help him, the family heartbroken, his wife & his mom both devastated, do you tell tje younger children or spare them this burden? We as a family heartbroken, i can't get excited about Christmas this year. Just make sure you hug your loved ones & tell them how much you love them, take nothing for granted.

Especially not about coming across as too awkward, because, if it is the person I am thinking of, he must be the most prime example of awkward fan letters. (there are a few Youtube videos revealing the truth...) I actually think if he finds the time he might send you a nice answer (and maybe a drawing). Hasn't he said he tries to answer most of his fan mail? It might take him probably MONTHS to do so, so just be patient.
Hey, many of us have written completely awkward fan letters. I wrote an absolutely cringe-worthy letter to Vortex last year which got printed, much to my embarrassment. But hey, at least I made Nick smile, so that is a bonus.
To cheer you up, have a look at this nice Youtube video of a star struck fan having a chat with Paul backstage. There is also a second part to it. Most of the actors are aware how fans react and many are really nice. They also like to talk about their work and give advice.
So here is an example on how this can go.

I would love to meet him someday too! On a side note Paul McGann has a very very relaxing voice, I could listen to him talk all day! 😊He’s another one like Capaldi who could read the phone book and it would sound amazing😀😄 Now I am imagining what if McGann and Capaldi had their own YouTube channel where they read bedtime stories together to help whovians fall asleep🤔😄😴They would both wear old fashioned silk pajamas and smoking jackets and sit in arm chairs next to each other and take turns reading soothing stories, and at the end of every episode Capaldi would play the guitar while McGann sings. It would be called Timelord Bedtime Hour😴🌛
