So I've found someone else on the internet with the same name as me. She's an author of young adult literature. Cool.
Sometimes, life just kind of sucks
On the other hand..America just started bombing Afghanistan. Fun. Great. That's just freaking wonderful.
On the news they said that today most Americans felt for the first time thus far, a sense of fear. I don't know about you, but I've felt fear ever since my teacher turned on the TV at 9:45, September 11th, 2001. What? 6,000+ human beings being slaughtered in the blink of an eye didn't send a wave of fear through you? Well. Geez.
I've only had one nightmare thus far, and even that was really funky. I dreamed that I had been drafted and was on my way to boot camp on a bus.
History in the making
So we're having this discussion, right? And we were talking about how this is history in the making. Someday our kids, (if we have any), will be learning about this in school.
Morbid thought- But, what if somehow we manage to blow ourselves up before then? Huh. What happens then? No school. Well duh. End of life as we know it? I think that has already happened. I guess it's sort of like being back in the Cold War..no one is sure who is going to blow up who first? Uncertain future looms..We thought we could handle whatever was dished out. But I don't think that anyone ever expected this. Ever. And like I said yesterday, that's not fair. It shouldn't be like this. I mean, what can they hope to accomplish through this? Don't answer that. But as I see it, the only thing that's going to come out of this is more hate, death and destruction. Freaking great.
