I am moored off of Greenland in the rough North Atlantic, unable to go ashore because of high winds and seas. As I sit here on a luxury ship, I watch the unreality of what occurred eight years ago on this date. Our lives have gone on, while so many have not. But we can never forget. We honor those innocents who died in this horror and mourn for the ( Read more... )

I haven't been on LJ much these days. Life has gotten busy, not in a bad way, just busy. I miss your post and the camaraderie of crating graphics and reading your writings. I miss playing on LJ and crazy fandom.

It feels odd to think it's been 8 years since that day. I can still feel the fear in the pit of my stomach. I had friend who were supposed to fly in Cali, PA, Boston & NYC. Fortunately all were fine. I remember getting text messages from friends in NYC who worked near ground zero.I remember growing up how people always talked about how they could recall exactly what they were doing when JFK dies. I now know how they feel.

I hope you and you family are well. Thanks for once again putting into words, what many of us were feeling.

*BTW I watched a show on BBCA called Being Human, that reminded me a bit of Indifference. It's a bout a a Vampire, a ghost & a werewolf who all live together.
