I don't often participate in these Angles threads -- but in the spirit of GPK resurrecting his license plate thread from 2006...
I would like to use this opportunity to 'say goodbye' to a very special young lady (who I never met) that was fatally gunned down in a Colorado movie theater over the weekend.

Micayla Medek, 23, worked as a Subway "sandwich artist" -- "I do everything lol," she added on her Facebook page.
A graduate of William C. Hinkley High School in Aurora, Medek took classes at Community College of Aurora through last fall.
"I'm a simple independent girl who's just trying to get her life together while still having fun," she wrote on Facebook.
She attended the midnight showing of the new Batman movie with friends and was wounded, family members told the Los Angeles Times.
But nearly 20 hours passed before authorities confirmed to the family that she was one of the 12 killed in Friday's theater shooting.

Micayla Medek sounds EXACTLY like the type of girl that tosses on a 5th piece of provalone cheese on your $5 footlong sub and doesn't bother to try and up your order by adding a drink or chips when she rings you out.
She was probably even the type of girl whose smile disarmed you at the counter as you look at sando board, trying to eye up the monthly specials.
And if you caught her on a good day, perhaps when she was floating on cloud nine because she got a B+ on one of her papers, she would throw in two free white chip Mac cookies with a 'you're one of my favs' wink.
She is who we lost in this tragedy, folks. She is irreplaceable.
Do yourself a favor today and buy a $5 footlong for lunch in honor of Micayla and see if they'll offer you a free cookie in return.
If it's stingy ass Mahmoud or Habib ringing you out instead of one of the chicks -- you be sure to remind him that 'It's what Micayla would have wanted!'
Goodbye, Micayla. Fly with the angles, sweet girl.
