November 11th

Today it's 12 years since Pedro Zamora died. The cause of many an angsty bout of teenage depression for me and scribbled mottos and quotes on my school books.
Also the cause of my pinning a red ribbon on my bag ever since then (even though I've lost my latest one and desperately need a new one. Bastards) and becoming a bit of an activist.

It might have been silly teenaged hero-worship on my part back then, but the guy did a good thing and he went too soon.
Bloody bastard disease.
