... I got up and got ready for high school, just like any other day. I threw on black capris and the Guess Who T-shirt from the concert I'd just seen over Labor Day weekend... the "American Woman Tour," complete with a silhouette of a woman in red, white, and blue. Of all things to wear that day! It still gives me the willies

i was asleep. it was a tuesday, i didn't have anything until 1.
roommate comes in the room and turns on the TV. i'm pissed as hell because i'm trying to sleep, damnit. she notices i'm awake and says, "There was an explosion or something at the World Trade Center."
as Steffi doesn't do mornings, my first thought was, "Someone flushed a fuckin' cherry bomb down the fuckin' toilet." I put on my glasses and look at the TV.
only one tower was standing.
i jump out of bed, get online, try and find out what's going on. as i'm sitting there at the computer, the second tower falls.
i call my mom, and then go to the music building where we all hug and cry. people i had known for less than a month suddenly became my family.
It was about 6:15 AM when I got up. I was dreading yet another early morning lifting electrical equipment and driving all abouts San Diego county delivering electrical supplies. As usual, I have the alarm as my radio. It is tuned to KFI 640AM. Now realize that 6:15 AM is unprecidented for me. I'm usually up two hours later. I noticed that the radio host, Bill Handel, was a little more anxious than his normal self. He had a very serious tone. Groggily I half-pay attention to what he's saying. I stroll to my computer to do my usual e-mail check, and what not. Then I hear Bill Handel, "I do not believe this is an accident. This is a terrorist attack." This really got my attention. So I make a quick dart to downstairs and flip on Fox News. And there I see before my eyes, the World Trade Center burning up. I was mesmorized
