I Am What I Am: three observations

1. Barrowman's collapse into depression after "Ballgate" is horribly familiar - it's what I went through during Racewank '07. I'm a terrible person, everyone hates me, my life is over. Anger helped me rally, too.
2. No, fandom, John didn't tell you at Torchsong that he'd injured his ankle in a car accident, and then swear you to secrecy. Thanks to the magic of third-hand gossip, you conflated two separate incidents - his poolside fall (bt dt ow) and the Fifth Gear prang.
3. Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear.

I'd heard he told the audience at the Cabaret something that was supposed to be a secret, but I did not buy a ticket for that. Apparently the secret was about the car crash? Yeah, two separate incidents.
