Sometimes you come across a great man or woman.
And sometimes they come across you.
Nevertheless, if you meet someone special, appreciable, or even just tolerable- make note of it.
I didn't know Thor that well, but I had spoken with him and really just chatted and what not on various occasions. He was always one of the people in the F2 list that I was happy to see, even if only on scattered occasions.
You never know how long you have, or how long you care to give yourself. I never thought I would live past high-school graduation. I was sure that I would take my own life, or die strangely due to my own realm of stupidity and lack of wisdom. Thanks to people like Alp, Drake, Furdle, Chaoszero, Pass, Siba, and Pooterin, (and so many others, you know who you are :] ) I was absorbed into a world where I could vent my frustration with the faults of real life.
If I could have taken a greyhound to Thor's front door and stopped him I know I would have, but it wasn't my choice or even to my knowledge that such a great kid was in such a dark place.
Shamus is in heaven if there is one. Some people; through thick and thin, life and death, happiness and sadness, gains and loss- are just what life makes them be.
I'm immensely sorry for his family, as I know they love him and feel guilty about letting it come to this- even if it was rooted deeper than basic fault. I am also sorry for all of you, and us, and we his friends who have lost a great internet buddy.
For all is not lost, however. Thorfin25 has left the server, but has remoted into the console of all of our hearts.
