A woman has been killed at a level crossing I grew up using.

The level crossing is unmanned - just planks of wood across the rails between Staines and Ashford, close to Shortwood Common.

I used to have to cross that section of track to get to hospital appointments, by myself, when I was fifteen or sixteen. There's nothing there. No alarm, no barriers, no phone or way to call for help.

When I was about eight or so, my uncle's friend, Jeremy Green - who used to babysit me when I was a really small child - also died on that section of track. It's part of the reason I live in fear of railway tracks. Trains terrify me.

Fucking hell. I went to school with three Mansell kids. Why has this been allowed to happen again?

Topical.

"You're annexing a gossip site for your own ends, now?"

"Yes."

"Just so you know, the day you run for president is the day our friendship ends."

Soon, I'm going to make an icon that says, "In UR election campaign, cashing-in." And then one that says, "In UR fandom, predictin UR Wentz."

They've all claimed to read the fic. Now, it would seem, they're commenting.

I am mildly afeart of this.

When I said stalking isn't sexy, I wasn't fucking joking.

Jesus.

Not good.

Count down to the Peter Sutcliffe comparisons in the press.

I bet my mum's on the edge of her seat, hoping we've got a current serial killer.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIN!

Those are some scary fucking ankle-biters.

Jesus fucking Christ on a bike.

I have just had to get the biggest (I'm not kidding) fucking spider I have ever fucking seen in my entire fucking arachnaphobic life out of my bedroom!

The fucking thing was sitting on a towel on my bedroom floor when I came down from having a bath. It was enormous. Seriously. I had to pick it up in a pint glass and its leg-span was bigger than the mouth of the glass! Considerably so.

You could see every detail of its body.

I thought it was a wolf spider but the fucking thing was so big it was almost the size of a small mammal.

I do know it wasn't a tarantula.

Bearing in mind that I am arachnaphobic (my ex, Kate, would have been sectioned after seeing a spider that big), I am extremely proud of myself for relocating it to the back garden, and then duelling with it to get it off my towel. Which it really did want to hang on to. But I won't be going in the garden for the next week, I can tell you.

HUGE!

So, when I was a little kid I used to be really into Thomas the Tank Engine. But then, in one episode, one of the trains derailed. I always thought it was a big green engine called Gordon, but Gordon was blue, and it seems the derailed engine may actually have been a red one called James, anyway...

But to cut a long story short, after that episode, every time it came on I would run into the kitchen crying.

Twenty years later, I looked up the kids' website to find out which engine it was (it's a GST argument at the moment), I still just actually felt scared looking at it. I had to close the window.

And I am terrified of trains.

*shakes fist at Ringo Starr*

Edit: It was Gordon!
