so this might sound shitty, and it's not meant to, and i'm not stating things as absolutes, just how i observed them ( Read more... )

I hadn't heard about this until now, so I googled her name to get the story. All I can say is Wow. How awful.

I was sort of in the same boat as you. I used to hang out with her often due to a collection of mutual friends. I found her world views just so entirely incompatible with mine as to preclude any sort of friendship. I didn't dislike her, I just didn't like her, if that makes sense.

Her passing, aside from just being tragic on its own, makes me very sad for the community she worked so hard to support. She was the champion for a lot of artists, and without her their world is going to be much harder.

I think most anyone would be happy with that assessment of their lives: what she did in life mattered. it mattered enough that even people who weren't close to her saw her impact on the world and appreciated it.

she was -so- nice before she turned into the queen of controversy, and while that's the anders i'd prefer to remember, that's also from like, 12 years ago.

i'm sure someone will step in and fill her shoes though, there always seem to be people waiting in the wings

I wonder how much of the effusiveness in this case stems from guilt. This could also explain almost all cases.

i wonder. i mean honestly, she was spiteful and arrogant a mean spirited, at least in my opinion. she could still be all those things and be of value to "the scene" (or the 11% she declared herself in charge of) and i'm not going to suddenly say we were besties and that i valued her friendship. honestly i'd hope that when i go the people who thought i was a dick still think i was a dick and don't whitewash their feelings. i mean, -i'm- never going to know one way or another.

i just find it curious though, even if this was someone else, why this happens. the last time i remember someone in the scene dying a violent and sudden death, the outpouring of love was massive, though he was the sort of person that cultivated that, and i have no doubt he knew he was loved by tons of people before he died.

why do we just take people for granted while they are alive and then the minute they are no longer with us, the moment they may never be able to appreciate or acknowledge these positive sentiments, that is the exact moment that those sentiments are overly abundant?
