I don't think I can really add anything to fill it out, though. It feels like filler.
I may try again at fattening it up a little, if I can do so without spoiling integrity. Not a whole lot, really. I'd like it to last about an hour. That would be short, but sizable.

Then I had my car accident.
Mild nerve damage has made my left hand very weak. I can not truly grip at all or freely move my fingers properly. But I still peck and type with the fingers.
Because of my injuries to my legs, while I can stand and move just fine, standing or walking for long periods, like a few hours, exhausts me. Sitting is no trouble at all, however.
My brain injury has led to me responding poorly to being in crowds for a long period of time. I again get exhausted being in the company of many people. But my ability to think is unaffected.
All this adds up to a situation where having a normal, 'sensible' job would be rather difficult. Acting and singing are also largely impaired. But not writing.
So I now live a life where a career as a writer is the most sensible thing for me.
I have begun work on a couple of projects I have long had the idea for, but never bothered really starting before.
A writer is now who and what I am. And I have sisu. I shall not quit.

( BRB, bawling... )
So...it would have been bad enough for me, because I always bawl for Reichenbach, every version I've seen. And Martin Freeman is a brilliant actor, he wore the face of mourning perfectly. But that, that which I mentioned in the cut... ...I'm broken by this version, now.
...I anticipate tears with the 'Reichenbach' episode of BBC Sherlock.
My only comfort is that if Sherlock pretends to dead for an extended period of time, like in canon, this John is likely to punch him when he shows up. Right after he hugs him.
Karma's a bitch.

The radio was playing, and a song that I only knew by it's sax 'chorus', Baker Street, came on. I was like, "Oh! Now I can learn what the lyrics are! I'll listen closely, and try to relate it to Sherlock Holmes." ...this lead to tears.
These are the lyrics:
Windin' your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold.
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taking you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it had everything
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin'
You're tryin' now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
But you're cryin'
You're cryin' now
Way down the street there's a lad in his place
He opens the door he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down there's a quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin
Cus he's rollin'
He's the rollin' stone
And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
The sun is shinin' it's a new morning
You're goin'
You're goin' home.
All the way up to 'You're cryin' now' felt like John's perspective during Reichenbach. The second half is Sherlock's perspective, when he comes home. Only, this version of the story is different than previous ones. John doesn't want to forgive Sherlock.
...brb, crying.

I was shocked to see this on Facebook. The Evan is someone whom I am not exactly friends with, but sort of am. We don't agree on...anything, really, but we can talk and argue. Talk and argue without either of us getting angry or taking it personally.
I didn't know what to think of this, though. It is the sort of thoughtless, insecure, paranoid, 'privileged people problems' kind of thing I would have never expected from him.
I am 'S. S.'
One interesting note that came from a later private convo. I'll keep the privacy of most of it. He doesn't believe the 'thought = action" thing I mentioned. He even looked through the Bible to see where it came from, and only found one tiny little sentence that could be interpreted that way in the Book to the Phillapians.. I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school. A big fuss was made for that teaching in my education, but I suppose it's more of a Catholic thing, like divorce being a sin. So, I asked him, laying out my pretty much non-existent sexual history, if in his view I was 'in the clear' in that area. His reply? Yes.
Evan G. L I believe that Christians in America will be persecuted within five years. America is currently at the third step of persecution: Vilifying your opponents. The steps are: 1) Identify, 2) Marginalize, 3) Vilify, 4) Criminalize, 5) Terrorize, 6) Justification, and 7) Elimination.

- S SHave you been afraid to admit you are Christian to anyone? Afraid you may be refused work or afraid you'd lose your job because of your faith? Have you been afraid to have visual signifiers of your faith in public because of the very real r...isk of verbal or physical abuse? Do you make sure not to 'show' any signs since it is legal in some states for a business to refuse giving you service due to your faith? When you are in a building that is known to be a meeting place for your kind, do you ever worry that something is being done to your car? Has anyone ever threatened you with their car because of your faith? If you are happy because it is a holiday of your people, and someone asks why you are happy, are you hesitant or even frightened to answer? If you met another of your kind, and you are developing a romantic connection, do you find yourself with no one to safely talk to about it? I have had to deal with all of these in regards to my sexuality. I hated myself, cried, prayed, and worked hard to change, to make it go away, for five years. Perhaps you think I simply did not try hard enough. I would...disagree. ...sorry if you hate all this chatter. Sorry if it sounds....accusing, I suppose is the term....I do not intend it that way. I posted all this, I'll be honest, because my first reaction to this topic was...anger. Anger, because I've felt trapped in a corner, like I was less of a human being, for a bit more than half of my life. Maybe I'm not being fair. Maybe you feel like you are being backed into a corner. Please, don't be so worried. I'm not sure of the numbers, but I think at least 85% of the country is Christian. I think you'll be okay. *HUGHUG*See MoreJune 16 at 8:36pm ·
- Evan G. L You should read David Limbaugh's book "Persecution: How Liberals Are Waging War Against Christians". I have been vilified though plenty during my college years.June 16 at 11:27pm ·
- Evan G. L People like me are called racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. Eventually that kind of angst will lead to physical violence.June 16 at 11:28pm ·
- Evan G. LBy the way I said persecution is coming, I didn't say it is here. I am sorry that you felt that way. I believe that homosexuality is a sin just like divorce, adultery, theft, pornography, etc. I have my own faults so I won't preach, however..., I do believe that Jesus is a way to help in regards to forgiveness of sins and eventually abandoning a sinful lifestyle. I have a great book about homosexuality and Christianity that focuses on the love of Jesus, not condemnation.See More
- S SI knew, as I'm sure you do, that in God's view, thought of committing a sinful act is the same as actually committing that sinful act. That knowledge weighed heavily on me. I was severely depressed, so it wasn't the only reason, but that pu...shed me closer to suicide. Suicides go to hell, but I figured I was doomed to go anyway. Despite my efforts, my thoughts still strayed to sharing a kiss I should not want to have. ...I have admittedly, heard hateful things such as you describe about conservatives. But I haven't heard such things said about Christians and I have two friends very likely to say such things to me if they thought them. The worst I've heard them say is that you are 'illogical'. Which I don't think is fair. I read every book I could find about homosexuality, as I am wont to do when I want an answer. I tried everything the books that carried cures suggested. None of them worked.See MoreJune 17 at 11:49am
- S SFor something to be a sin, it would have to be a choice. Let's not thrash out that argument, I know I won't change your mind, and you won't change mine. I just wish to ask. Forget lust, lying with another man and all that. The earliest crus...h I can remember, was wanting to hold the hand and kiss the cheek of a friend of mine, when I was 8. A girl. My question...have you wanted that with a male? Can you imagine wanting that? Making yourself want that? I managed to pretty much crush my sexuality, I wasn't thinking sexual thoughts at all. But I knew I was still doomed. I still wanted to hold hands. The thought of holding hands with a boy made me ill.See MoreJune 17 at 12:02pm

- 11:28:19: @skellerbzzt It is taught in there that we are only married once in the eyes of God. Jesus said widows shouldn't remarry.
- 11:29:17: @skellerbzzt that is why the Catholic church does not allow divorce.
- 11:30:55: @skellerbzzt In the bible, there is only one scenario where divorce is allowed. If there is regular violent abuse.
