sherryillkIt's a sad day.
First the Zimmerman trial, and now Cory Monteith. Real life and fandom life have been dealt such a massive blow, I don't even know how to process everything.
I was first really shocked by the Zimmerman verdict but then that just faded into numbness. I was really, really pulling for manslaughter at the very least. I can't believe he wasn't held responsible for killing a scared kid. It just doesn't seem right that people can just do that and not face justice. But this is the state of the US right now -- things like this can just happen and we can't do anything about it. *sigh*
And just when I thought this day couldn't get worse, I go on Facebook to see Glee's statement about Cory. My heart sank because all Glee fans knows of Cory and his struggles with sobriety. And when he went to rehab earlier this year, I had hoped things would turn around for him, that he recognized the signs and was getting help. I was really looking forward to seeing him again in Glee next season. But now... I don't know if it's because Glee was a show I was zealously into for a number of years or if it's because with social networking and the internet the way it is now, that you form closer bonds with celebrities but I help but feel like I've just lost someone I knew very well... And I know we don't know what the cause of death is yet, but he was found alone in his hotel room, and he was only 31. With his history, I can't imagine it could be anything else but an overdose. But I'm hoping it wasn't something even more sinister. I don't really want this to be any worse than it already is...
And now I can't help but think of Lea, and how happy he seemed with her, and how it seemed like things were getting better, and then my heart breaks all over again. Why do these things happen?
Like I said, it's a sad day.

Rest in peace, Cory. We'll all miss you with all our hearts.
