I remember being at my friend Amanda's house and going in the room of her sister, Elena, who was one year older than us. She had printed out a single-month calendar on their relatively new and expensive computer and was using it to write 'WAR' on each day as it went by.
Other than that, I can't remember a thing about the first Gulf War except a lot of 'peace in the Middle East' said half-jokingly by the rest of the kids at my school. I feel like I already can't remember this war, either. No fear, hardly any concern; this whole thing is such a media fiasco and I've disparaged it so much from the start that I feel very, very detached about it. At the most I could say I'm 'annoyed' when I know damn well that 'annoyed' is an inappropriate wartime emotion.
