9.0 earthquake + tsunami... geez
*sigh* ...i've been watching live streams of NHK & TBS news since the earthquake. it's really depressing. :/ it's like i've lost interest in doing anything else but watching the news and my Twitter list, both of which are depressing. at one point yesterday i was so fed up with all the sadness & bad news that i had to drop everything and get out of the apartment. go anywhere. just had to get away from it all for a while.
i don't know anyone in the heavily effected areas... as far as i know all of my friends are safe and sound, but that only makes me feel marginally better. i still feel horrible for all of the people who have been/are being effected by this horrible event, whether i know them or not. when i talked to my mom yesterday she didn't seem to get why i was being affected so much since everyone i know is safe.... "these things happen," she said. true. but that doesn't make me feel any better.
*sigh*
i wish mother nature would give the world a break, even though none of this is her fault. especially the nuclear power plant... earlier i felt like ranting on the subject but right now. meh.
