A year from now, ten years from now, people will be writing books about where they were when the sky fell.Me? I was at home. Sleeping. I told someone once I would sleep through the Apocalypse if anyone let me... and now I've proven it. I'm going back to bed in a few minutes. Wake me if something new happens. Although bear in mind, I really don't want to know. I REALLY don't want to know. Vissara says: hey you Dehan says: *waves* Kadinness! Vissara says: have you seen news today? Dehan says: Nope... what's new there? Vissara says: you are sitting right? Dehan says: What channel> Vissara says: any of them Dehan says: WHAT IS GOING ON? Vissara says: 4 commercial jets were hijacked and crashed into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and someshere in Pennslyvania Vissara says: they still haven't figured out how many were killed Dehan says: WOW. Dehan says: TV is on... you guys aren't kidding... WOW. Vissara says: no not kidding Dehan says: *now has Caleb up... his first response: Kick ass!* Dehan says: Dear lord... ok, this is something of a nightmare. They actually GOT the pentagon??? Vissara says: yes Dehan says: Gods... Vissara says: for the first time i'm glad the shrub is in office instead of Gore, I just hope to hell he asks Dad for advice. . . Kadin has been added to the conversation. Dehan says: My life is simpler now. Dehan says: Gods... this really IS going to fuck with immigration. Kadin says: *nods* Dehan says: Which is a very petty and narrowminded thought. And dammit, I'm thinking it anyway. Dehan says: Gods... Kadin says: I'm wishing more than ever I'd turned back at the bus station. Dehan says: *NODS* Dehan says: At this point, they wouldn't f'ing CARE. Kadin says: With the borders shut down, right now I wouldn't even be ALLOWED back into Canada. Dehan says: Gods... do they know who is responsible? Vissara says: not yet Kadin says: Their best guess right now is Bin Ladin, but that's pure guess. No basis. Vissara says: Arafat has condemned the act Dehan says: I should hope so. This was... a bit beyond most of the major players right now. Dehan says: They've more SENSE. Kadin says: Have you seen the scene in Palestine, Juliet? IT's insane. Kadin says: They're celebrating in the streets. Throwing candy at eachother. Women, children, dancing all over the city. Vissara says: so is New York Vissara says: I'm hoping like hell this doesn't turn into racial nastiness here Kadin says: I keep thinking about those Japanese prison camps Canada kept in WW2. You don't think...? Dehan says: *shudders* Doesn't it always turn into something bad, given half a chance? No, it won't get THAT bad... not yet. Vissara says: no, but I think there will be random one on one attacks Kadin says: *nods* I'm wondering just how many copycat attacks are coming up. Vissara says: I'm worried about my sister's finance Kadin says: She was in New York? Kadin says: Or Washington? Kadin says: He, I mean. Dehan says: Isn't the the one who tossed her again? Vissara says: no, he is from Lebanon Dehan says: Oh, wait... noe. That's kadin's sister. Dehan says: *is not very focused right now* Kadin says: I think it's OK to be a little confused just now. Dehan says: When they found Anthony�s body, the note he left behind him read: Average British White. Fairly versatile, tolerably well-assembled. A good solid buy for beginners. Nothing to tempt the discerning, however. Absurdly cheap at �4.50. Postage and packing not included Vissara says: more than ok Dehan says: which allowed the coroner to pronounce the verdict �death by suicide while the balance of his mind was disturbed� with a clear conscience. Dehan says: I just thought I'd share a fragment of my confusion with you. *wry grin* Kadin says: Huh? Kadin says: Dare I ask what that's from? Dehan says: *hugs her kitten* Nothing of current import. I love you. Kadin says: I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you. Dehan says: *grrs at the universe* Kadin says: This is utter insanity. Kadin says: Other buildings are toppled now, taken down by the debris from the towers. Dehan says: *blinks... shivers again* Kadin says: There are a LOT of people dead and injured. A lot of innocent people. Vissara says: they say it'll be days before they get an accurate count Kadin says: The lowest current death toll estimate is still five figures. Dehan says: *blinks* Kadin says: Isn't there a Tom Clancy novel that mirrors this entire attack almost exactly? Dehan says: More than likely - he's been writing terrorist blueprints for years now. Kadin says: *Sighs in frustration* WIll someone please tell them to STOP ANNOUNCING where the important people are?? Vissara says: the press is good at helping terrorists, Kadin Kadin says: Apparently. Dehan says: *finds herself actually amused at the reactions of the people she knows best* Dehan says: Apathy... amusement... rage... tears... the whole gambit. It's all there. And all for the strangest reasons... Vissara says: well, the part that bothers/enrages me most is we are gonna be forced to make some 'retribution' type military strike that will probably kill even MORE innocent people Kadin says: I was in IRC when you came online. It's aggravating just how many people are already pointing fingers, declaring that all [Name your favorite race, ethnicity, religion, etc.] people need to be shot for this. Dehan says: *sighs* It really doesn't end.
