My neighborhood is an absolute mess right now. I didn't even try to get home last night. I just went straight to Nick's and stayed over there. Ate dinner, went out, got a bit drunk. Because the building that was hit is literally 4 down from me, there's no way we'll be driving on our street for a while. I had to park a couple blocks over, and show a policeman my ID to prove I lived here. There's news cameras all over the place--when I stopped at home earlier to see what the situation was, my neighbor (who was home yesterday) was being interviewed by a reporter. It's very strange and surreal. If that pilot had just turned his wheel to the right, my apartment could have been the one destroyed. Talk about a head check. Right now I am very very VERY grateful to be alive and well.
