But the train crash that happened out here is affecting me more than I am used to. Even though it was overshadowed by hurricanes, and even though there are events that cause equal

It's amazing, isn't it? I think our brains are made that way for a reason; if we reacted the same way to every disaster in the world, we wouldn't be able to stay sane.

I'm sorry you're directly affected this time. :(

I know how you feel...it's really strange to be so close, although i didn't even know about it until my mother told me. Where are you living these days?

[dan_e_boy]

In the valley; specifically, the city of Calabasas. How's your senior year so far?

Ah. It's going well, absolutely hectic and crazy. How's graduated life?

[dan_e_boy]

Life is life. I'm lazy and wish I didn't have to do any work ever, but I am pretty OK with the job I have now.

i think your sister's right: if every tragedy were so real to us, we wouldn't be able to live life.
do you remember the end of your freshman year, when several people had close relatives or friends die within the space of a week or two? that was one time that it all hit me hard.
it's when you pull a Garden State.
