september is full of important days
Yesterday was September 11.
What was I doing 5 years ago? (Yes, I know everyone did this yesterday, but whatever.) I remember going to classes and 2 out of 3 classes I went to we spent the day talking about the events of the day. Some girls were actually crying in my first class of the day and one of them was so upset that she ended up leaving. Then I remember later unpacking in my apartment, because I was just moving into my first apartment at the time, and listening to all the redneck people in Spokane calling in and being like 'Kill 'em all!' Then later that day, since it was my sister's friend's birthday, I drove the two of them to the fair. And it was the emptiest I had ever seen the fair. Now his birthday is infamous (as is he, I'm sure).
On my way home, I pass by both the fire station and the police station. Yesterday, they had the road in front of the police station blocked and two fire trucks and several police cars were out with their lights going. Which would have been fine, except traffic was backed up all over the place. Also, I think people were very distraught as the coffee vultures were out in droves and we were out of coffee before lunches started.
I forgot to mention in my earlier post some of the awesome presents I got on my birthday not on the actual day itself. First of all, Meg drew me a picture. Which was really, really pretty. Then Camille got me some stuffed Totoros and a gift certificate from Kinokuniya. (And we laughed about how Kinokuniya was behind the times 'cause it was a paper certificate and not a card.) The people at work got me birthday balloons and I got cards from several relations. Okay, two relations and one of them was my mother. And Meg sent me a card too!!! The cool cards made it onto my wall o' cards.
Man, tons o' shit going down. My sympathies to everyone.
