My mind has been flipping from subject to subject all day, and now I can't really focus on just one thing. I'm finding it hard to concentrate. It's likely to do with the fact that the first thing I read when I woke up was about the bombing and shootings in Oslo, and I haven't really been able to think about anything else all day.
Normally I don't feel so affected by things that happen in the news, but it's more troubling when it happens near someone you know. I suppose it's like this: It's one thing to read about crime happening all the time in the local paper. But if something like that happens to a neighbour or to a friend, it feels different, and one is more affected by it. Perhaps that isn't right, but that is how it is, at least for me.
Spent much of the morning worrying about my friend in Oslo. But I managed to get in contact with her, and she's fine. Perfectly fine. I figured she would be, but there was the possibility -- well, anyway. I'm just glad she's okay. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the victims of this. Man, it's just awful.
Now I hear of certain goings-on, and those certain things being defended. It makes me very angry. Some things are just not appropriate. Not at all. I wish people would realize that.
I don't understand people. At all.
