What were you doing on 911 :(

[cloudwalking]

i was pretty much new in america on 9/11.

i remember the weirdest part being that i faked sick from school that day because i didn't feel like going. goes to show how much i faked sick (almost failed because of poor attendance that year ). so it was just me and my mom at home.

conversation pretty much went like this:

(me sleeping)
mom: lauren, wake up. something crazy is happening!
me: mmhh... i'm sick, mom, please!
mom: but the pakistanis... they crashed a plane into the world trade center! you have to see this. some sort of terrorist attack against the yanks!
me: what's the world trade center? is this really that exciting?
mom: you don't know what the world trade center is?
me: no.
mom: it's these really tall skyscrapers in new york city... two of them... you really don't know it?
me: no mom i said i don't know what it is! but since i'm awake now anyway go on and turn on the tv.

so she turned on the tv and we sat in my room and watched the news coverage for the entire morning. i think at one point i got up to have breakfast. by the end of the day i was feeling pretty bad for the americans but i guess it didn't affect me like a lot of my american friends. though i guess some of that had to do with never having heard of the world trade center before that day.

I didn't see either plane hit live because I'm on west coast.  I knew that people would actually freak out about it once I saw what bin laden looked like.  He was like an unathletic, arab OJ simpson.

So he was like OJ except he was completely unlike OJ?  Fuck, by your criteria, I'm gonna be flying planes into shit soon.

TVC is like a white, gay, sickly, depraved, unathletic OJ.

I was playing Total Annihilation when my (ex) GF called me and told me there were planes flying into the WTC.

did you begin frantically panning the TA map like wut

I was in class in high school. The principal announced over the intercom that an airplane had hit one of the WTCs. Later he announced a second plane had hit the other WTC.

I was at school playing basketball outside. I was like a white Micheal Jackson that day. Then all the teachers ran outside screaming "GET IN SIDE, THERE'S TERRORISTS ATTACKING THIS AREA". Of course all of the classes for my grade were outside so, that includes the distinguished mentally-challenged fellows. They thought terrorists was actually another word for Mexicans which started this huge yelling and pushing contest.

I lol'ed because of the sheer stupidity of the situation but then as the teachers started yelling back and forth at each other, I realized that it was quite possible that my entire family was dead. I found out that wasn't the case and that my dad took the cable box out of my room because of some bullshit.

Oh and my copy of Simpsons Wrestling was broken.

all black people look the same

I was fucking 2 hot chicks.

No you weren't.

Fuck off, I was fucking 2 chicks and one of them accidentally hit the remote while I was fucking her in the ass and the news came on. We stopped and just watched as the second plane hit the tower. My dick was still in her ass..

I hope you made the second girl catch the cum in her mouth as it came out of the first girl's ass.  Don't want that stuff on the couch.

[brawndolicious]

So he was like OJ except he was completely unlike OJ?

well that my point that even if you're obviously a murderer, people might give you the benefit of the doubt because people love athletes and people love not feeling racist towards black people.  Bin Laden and OJ are complete opposites.

I was in 10th grade English class. One of my classmates had come upstairs from the main office and told us that a plane had just crashed into "a big building in New York". We turned on CNN and ended up seeing the second plane hit not too long after.

We stayed in school, but all practices and things afterward were cancelled.

I came home to find like 50 emails in my box from people I knew online, but hadn't talked to in a long time, all basically saying "oh my god a plane went down in PA, are you all right?"

Insanity, basically.

I have a scrapbook from each year I was in high school. Our FBLA went to NYC every winter, and I have these beautiful skyline pictures from my 9th grade year that have the WTC towers in them. It was so weird to put the books together knowing the skyline will never be the same.

I was in #GA chat.. yeah...
