30 day Green Day challenge

Day 26 - Favorite Green Day moment

Well, as far as moments go personally, my shows. They were the most amazing experiences of my life, and the best days of my life. But for them, as a band, probably American Idiot hitting Broadway. That's such an incredible accomplishment. It truly makes them larger than life. How many

I cry every time I see a 9/11 documentary. I cried in my geography class freshman year when we watched one, and there was this one scene with footage of people on the ground right outside the twin towers watching as the airplane hits the first one. People are fucking screaming, and you hear this one guy who's like, "Oh...holy....shit!" It's just...so fucking sad.

Wow, I'm impressed by little!Molly. See, I was in third grade during 9/11, and little!Aly didn't fucking understand why everyone was geeking out. I thought they were all pansies. I was like...dude. They're buildings. They got blowed up. What's the big deal? I honestly didn't give a shit about it until about middle school when I finally understood the severity of terrorism and all that. Now just thinking about 9/11 makes me want to cry.

I basically want to go back in time and punch little!Aly in the face for being such a stupid little twat.

Shit, yesterday when I was watching the documentaries, I was a wreck. It made me so physically sick, but I couldn't tear myself away for two reasons: One, it's like a train wreck, y'know? You get transfixed or something. Two, I felt like it was the least I could do to honor those that died, by spending my day watching the horrors of it all. Y'know? I don't know. Lol.

You weren't a stupid little twat, though, you were a kid. Most kids around our age are the same way. They don't really remember it, and if they do, they didn't really think anything of it. Me, though, I guess I've just always been sensitive to that shit. And that's not necessarily a good thing, I don't think. . .

Even here in Canada, we used to watch documentaries on it for a couple of years after the attacks. I always wanted to skip school those days. It's just real heartbreaking and upsetting.

I was in grade four when it happened (I am so old xD) and I remember watching morning cartoons and then bam! The towers were suddenly on the screen and we didn't know what the hell was going on so we ran to go find our parents. At school, a few kids were running around yelling that world war three was starting and fuck. I was terrified. I was so scared. I was at a brand new school too...it just wasn't good. And I was feeling this way all the way up in the middle-of-nowhere-Canada. I can't imagine how it was for you guys actually in the States.

I'm still afraid of airplanes and flying into big cities. I hate flying into Toronto. Fucking hate it.

Y'know, I can really only imagine how frightening it must have been in Canada. You're our neighbors, and if shit was going down here, you guys are the closest and it could have affected you too. Thank God it didn't. No country deserves what America went through on 9/11 - despite how arrogant and wasteful we truly are as a nation. I still don't see how anyone, even someone like Bin Laden, could order something so terrible. It makes me angry and it makes me sick. Fuck.

Shit, I know right? Only recently have I been okay with the idea of flying. I rationalize it by saying, it's a quick way to die lol. Boom, over, even if it's a scary trip there.

I know that where I live, it wasn't a huge huge thing but over in Ontario and shit...people were scared as hell. Apparently you could see the smoke from Toronto. Which is still a good couple hours from the border. The thought of what happened still scares me.

Well, that's a good way to look at it. xD Flying over the ocean was horrible. Everyone else was sleeping and I was just trying to concentrate on remembering how to breathe normal. And I fly quite a bit. xD

I the smoke was visible from space too. And that's fucking insane, isn't it? It still gets under my skin, hell. . .

Ooh, over the ocean would be scary. Y'know, vehicles are scary XD Driving even weirds me out a bit, because of the power, y'know?
