My brother was killed in a plane crash at the weekend.
He wasn't perfect, but he was my brother and I loved him.
The funeral is later this week, so if I'm not around that's why.

There is so much stuff I can't even think about dealing with at the moment. I know a lot of you guys are having rough times too and I wish I could help... I just....

A couple of weeks ago there was a bus smash that I attended, I helped out a lot of people and got them out of the wreck. All well and good until today when I got served.
I can't believe it. You try and help people and then they try and sue you. And they do want to sue me personally and not the hospital. I was half convinced the guy doing the suing must have done some digging around my name.
I pulled the record at work. Turns out he was in the hospital getting physio so I went to see him. The guy was pretty strange, I didn't remember him from the accident at all and I could remember every other person I helped that day. The good thing is that after talking to me he decided he wasn't going to go ahead with the claim but still. Something didn't smell right to me. And to make things worse Hassam kind of implied that he thought I had brought it all down on myself.
The good side to today was making a new aquaintance. Emma works in the records department and I got talking to her, well I did most of the talking; it turns out she's deaf but can lip read really well and is very determined to get on with her life. I think she's like me, a special but I'm not sure she's totally aware of what she can do yet. I should be there for her, help her come to terms with what it means.
So weird day all in all.

This morning Rose was awoken with breakfast in bed and ( this )

|
| just a quick update. |
[28 Dec 2009|08:46pm] |
Thanks to everyone who made it to the wedding, it was wonderful to see so many of our friends and thanks for making it a very special day for both Rose and myself.
Also thanks for the cards and birthday greetings, we've had a fairly quiet holiday season so far and with the amount of time off work I'm making it up to my colleagues and pulling a few extra shifts so that they can spend some time with their loved ones too.
Being married is every bit as wonderful as I'd hoped it would be and life is so good for me now.
I'm just worried about my brother, he's not been himself for a while, I'm not sure whether he's feeling bad at missing the wedding, but he's been distant for far longer than that.

| I know I'm a stranger... |

I've been out og the loop a while again. Currently I'm still doing shifts as a paramedic.
I don't know where to start writing about the last few weeks, I guess it should start with my brother. He finally did the right thing and I'm fiercely proud of him for doing that. Don't get me wrong, I'm still mad at him for a lot of stuff and he's got a long way to go, Mom too for that matter.
We're starting over as a family, clean slate more or less. Who we mean by family too, it's all new but it's feeling right.
Mom is keen for me to stop being a paramedic and work with the family full time, I'm not sure I'm ready to, she didn't take too kindly to my suggestion we were becoming an Italian American cliche.
[Filtered to friends]
And that's it, we're making a new company but we're doing it right this time. None of the things they used to do.
I'm torn, I want to make a difference and it's all I've ever wanted to do. What I've learnt in the last few weeks is that I have a very real need to do that. The rules have changed though, and the nature of what I can do and how much is more fluid. I've been angry about it, that I'd been betrayed by those I should have been able to trust. But I'm adapting. I helped stop Sylar and that gives me a sense of relief. I can still contribute.
Family helped me see that.

It’s been a while I know, there has been travelling which was intense. I’ve also started work as a paramedic and it’s been long hard shifts. It’s good. Rose is staying with me for a little while which is making the whole having to work thing a lot less attractive.
In fact Rose insisted she take the picture of me in uniform and I decided to make it into a user pic. So there I am all dressed up as a paramedic.
And we come back to all this news. Congratulations Danny and Jordan, on the arrival of Becky. Congrats too to Lucas and Layla.
We’re heading down for the wrap party this weekend, I’m not rota’d on. I feel the need to see some friends.

Travelling was tough, tougher than I expected, both places we went there were elements of risk that I hadn’t even thought might crop up. I never thought I’d be stuck somewhere off in the far future, or in alternate universe. It’s brought home the risk that Rose takes when she’s travelling with the Doctor and she won’t like me saying this, I’m going to worry that bit more when she’s away in future. Not because I doubt her or the Doctor. I know Rose’ll fight tooth and nail to get back. But because some things happen that are beyond anyone’s control.
It was tough on her too, she met an alternate version of her parents and it didn’t work out very well. That and Mickey opting to stay behind. He’s a good man Mickey Smith, I wanted to write down somewhere that he’s off fighting the good fight.
I’ve been watching the news and it seems my brother has started to make a splash, he’s ramping up fear levels that most people read as being against terrorists, he’s not talking about them. He’s talking about people like me, like Matt Parkman. I don’t know what he’s up to, but nothing good can come from it.

I start full time in a couple of weeks.
I'm really pleased.
I'm looking forward to starting and being useful.

Just you wait til you see me in the uniform.

| Just a brief catch up. |
[28 Feb 2009|10:09pm] |
Hey there I know its been a while. I've been doing training for the paramedic job. Its great and I've been learning new stuff. Like I said last time, I'm being fast tracked and I finish the training in a couple of weeks.
I'm hoping to go travelling with Rose soon, she mentioned it and one last adventure before being a paramedic should be good.
[Filtered to Claire]
Hey Claire, next weekend come visit. Get away from the claustrophobia.
[Filtered to Rose]
Looking forward to seeing you.

I'm a happy Peter.
I've had a fantastic weekend. Rose came by semi unexpectedly and she's been telling me all about her adventures and travelling with the Doctor.
I start my training today. They're fast tracking me because I'm already a trained nurse so within a couple of weeks I'll be out on the streets and hopefully saving lives.
It feels so right for me to be doing this right now. To be being practical and helping, just being constructive.
Yeah feeling almost entirely postive today.
I'll let you all know how the training goes.

I'm going to be a paramedic. I have got some training starting next week for a couple of weeks and then I can start.
I'm excited. Its going to be good.
I've tried talking to Nathan, just to tell him what I'm doing to try and talk to the guy, but he won't take my calls. Apparently he doesn't have a brother.
My mother informed me he's going to be on TV tomorrow announcing some new initiative. I have a bad feeling about it.
But I can't let him get to me, I've got a new start.
Rose is travelling and I miss her, I guess I was spoiled getting to spend a month with her.

| Long time no update. |
[29 Jan 2009|09:41am] |
I know I know. Far too long.
Cabo was amazing. Danny Tripp you are the man.
But we're now back in New York and its back to reality. Rose is heading out travelling with the Doctor soon and its all change for me.
I've been doing some thinking and I've applied for job as a paramedic. I have an interview next week.
Wish me luck.

| Happy new year |
[04 Jan 2009|01:16am] |
Heading to New York soonly with a Rose. We're spending some quiet time after Christmas and the Invasion and everything. She won't be travelling with the Doctor for a while and Danny has been really kind for setting us up with a break in Cabo.
I think we both need time to charge our batteries before I take a look at what my world looks like now. I don't want to look too hard yet, I'm not sure I want to go back to reality yet.

I'm still feeling pretty lucky to be here. Christmas day was intense and we've been staying with Rose's mom Jackie.
I'm feeling the happiest I've been for a long time.

| Good news. |
[24 Dec 2008|12:48pm] |
I've just had a call from Rose.
I'm heading to London now.

| Thanks guys... |
[23 Dec 2008|08:05pm] |
Thanks to Danny for the tickets, Nell for feeding me and letting me vent. And to Lucas and Layla for the Bourbon.
Today hasn't been as bad as I feared.

| Happy Birthday me |

My family isn't talking to me.
Rose is who knows where.
I can't sit here all day, I'm going to go and see if the free clinic needs any volunteers today.

Still nothing from Rose, I know time is strange and I know time might not be elapsing for her in the same way, but my gut's are churning all the time for her.
It's my birthday on the 23rd but I don't think its going to be a good one this year.
So not a good time.
Nell - I'll see you later.

And still no word from Rose.
I'm worried really worried.
I know time travel isn't always precise but, I'm really starting to get anxious about her now.
I hope she's okay, I don't know what I'll do if she isn't.
