as soon as i woke up this morning, my brother said to me, "the world trade center was crashed into by an airplane 5 minutes ago." i was so tired and concerned with waking up to go to an arraignment that it flew right through me.
but watching the news all day and reading thse posts have brought me nearly to tears.
my thoughts + prayers are with all in the NY/DC-affected areas...so many gone...i can't believe it...i've never seen this sort of thing...
my mom's thighs are burn-scarred since youth from a schoolyard fire and it brings pains to my stomach to think of all the people burned "head-to-toe," as they said on the news...those burn-scars are very very ingrained in my memory...
i know nothing of politics and am not religious, but i'm a crying vengeful fair pacifist...my uncle walked across the brooklyn bridge to pick his son up from school...my gramma's gonna take a train to NYC to donate blood (she thinks her town is too "corrupt" to tranfer the blood over there!)...
alll of you all of you religious or not, let's pray to anyone God the gods the godesses the angels whathaveyou....i'm going to devour the newspaper tomorrow...i don't know what i think of war, except that it strikes a chord in my tum 'cos i'm 23 and a bunch of my friends have just joined the military...i'm sick of drug overdoses...now war???
angry and sad.sar
