1600 arrests?!? Riots? Holy shit. Otto was just there, in the midst of that. He has pictures of cops in groups. Am I ever grateful that nobody turned on the news this weekend. Otto's safe, and I don't know anybody in SF anymore. My brother's north of there, remember, you damn worrywart? He's way north of there. I only know Charles and Gill, and they don't live in the riot zones. I think.
I should call my brother tonight.
I'm a stupidhead worrywart.
I want to bite some flesh.
Breathe. Breathe and chair-dance. War is not an inappropriate time for heightened anxiety, but I'm not going to let you have a full-fledged panic attack over two people you don't know very well. Not gonna happen. No. Otto is sleepy and safe. Julius is going grocery shopping. The people you feel immediately responsible for (however silly that may sound) are safe and sound. Julius can't be drafted, and Otto's smart enough to make a pass at the person next to him in the medical exam.
I should stop reading my Friends List for a while. I'm smart enough to ignore/turn off all news sources, but I've got some very politically aware critters on my Friends List.
