The Universe Really is Out to Get Me

meddowI've just been watching The American President. I haven't watched it in a while and it is my absolute favourite romcom.
"I didn’t send 466 to the floor to win you back."
"And I didn't come back because you sent 466 to the floor."
I am such a dork.
Anyway. There is a need for me to post today. Today is the one year anniversary of the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, which means it is the one year anniversary of the death of James Norrington, which means it is the beginning of the trend of every single favourite character of mine always having to die.
Seriously: James Norrington, Nymphadora Tonks, Noah Bennet,* Lucius Vorenus, Caroline Price, Amber Volakis. Then if you add characters which I like but aren't my favourite, the list gets longer: Sam Tyler, Fred Weasley, Mad-Eye Moody, Weatherby Swann, Owen Harper** Toshiko Sato. Nathan Petrelli may be dead (damn, what is with Heroes and nearly killing Nathan every season finale?). The list goes on.
* Okay, so he rose from the dead via miracle blood, but for a whole five minutes there I was devastated.
** I would not have though he would have made the list this time last year. Congrats Torchwood writers.
Will the needless slaying of adored characters please end.

Most everyone on my friends list either hated her entirely and are glad she's dead, or only cared enough about her presence/death for the effect on the House/Wilson ship. *flails* AMBER WAS AWESOME GUYS.
