katsterwelp, here i am in math class again, updating my lj through the text editor on the calculator. i should really pay better attention in math, but...
my teacher is wearing a bright orange dress today. it's hard to ignore. :)
everybody is running around today with that weird faraway look in there eyes. there's a lot of people scowling for what seems to be no reason at all. it's a little unnerving.
and i think, whether you're a peacenik or a warmonger, or somewhere in between, that yesterday hurt! we'd just begun scarring over at the wound that was WTC, and retaliation for that act is literally pulling the scab off the healing wound. and coupled with bin Laden's threat...it's definitely a scary time to be an american.
[note: this journal entry did *NOT* stop me from falling asleep in math...]

Date: 2001-10-09 12:19 am (UTC)canada's mobilizing troops and air force, and HMCS Halifax is moving to join up with one of the american carrier groups.
we're putting our stuff out there, which means we've got a significan chance of getting hit as well.
I'd like to believe it can't happen here, but that's a) naive and b) inconsistent with a reasonable view of the situation. so i hope our security services are up to stopping the next attack before it happens...
not that you guys aren't living under the gun, but ... it's not just the US. =\

So we'll all be scared together. How's that sound?
good neighbors, good friends (ask Zibb how my maple leaf turned out...)
