God, it's horrifying this plane crash in the French Alps. The flight was on its way from Barcelona to my hometown, which makes it worse for me- seeing all the pictures from an airport I really know.
Of course we all know that plane rides are a very safe means of transport, that's why something like this comes out of the blue, doesn't it?

And it had to happen today of all days. My sister-in-law would have turned 30 today. She died nearly five years ago from lung cancer. Thinking about her and all the people who lost a child, a relative, a loved one or a friend today, hurts and makes me feel hollow.

But my lovely friend, Mab, has some second sight powers. She is writing this wonderful ask-meme ficlet series and yesterday 'mine' was posted. As if she knew, I would need some cheering up today. *big hugs*

If you know a thing about the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, you should really check it out. If not, check it out nonetheless! Mab's writing is awesome as always. What do you need to know? Nico has a crush on Percy during parts of the series. Percy is happy in a relationship with Annabeth though. They are demi-gods and fighting monsters from Greek or Roman mythology most of the time. :p
