Yeah, I'm watching in on MSNBC because I actually want to. I was so young, and a little punk ass so I didn't give much of a shit, but now that I'm a bit older I'm curious about what happened, and how the initial reports reacted to it.

I live in Oklahoma, and we were worried (in 9th grade) that they would hit our airforce base and gas pipelines (the crossroads are the principle east-west lines). Everytime an AWAC would fly over, we would panic.
I'm watching "9/11 as it Happened" because I didn't see it as it happened. I've never said, "I'm a patriot, America is number 1!!!!!1!!!111!!" but it's quite weird. I was 14 when it happened, in a French club meeting. Since I was a freshman in high school, no one told us about it so we wouldn't get scared. Watching it…
Is this how you post a photo? I hope so, because it's my darling cat in a sink.
Happy Caturday, all! I don't know how to post photos, so while I learn, please post cat photos. Nothing is better than cat photos.
Whenever I travel and don't want to talk, I tell them I'm from Iceland in a really bad accent. I speak Spanish, but when I travel to Spanish speaking countries and don't want to make small talk with the taxi driver, I say really stiltedly that "I don't understand, I speak Icelandic" then, thinking I don't understand…
I like that! I have a rule of "If I didn't wear it in the season in which it is wearable, it goes". If I don't wear a summer shirt for all of summer, I probably did so for a reason (weird fit, ugly color, not my thang anymore). I purge four times a year because I don't like useless stuff, and I also only have one…
My mom just went through a weird scare. She had a hysterectomy when I was born because she wouldn't stop bleeding. Everything was breezy until last month, 24 years later. She got so swollen she looked 9 months pregnant, but no blood. Her tests came back yesterday, and she has mono and a French parasite. So, don't…
I have a pig. Once, she rooted out of the yard. It was morning rush hour, and my neighbor is banging on my door and she said "She's out!!!". Since pigs don't really have necks, I had to tie a leash around her belly, and get a loaf of bread and make a trail like you see in cartoons to lure her back. She was about a…
Her opponent was Brittany Novotny, a transgendered candidate. Voters generally are uninformed, and if a Republican and Democrat are up against each other, in Oklahoma, sadly, we'll vote by party lines, and we were the only state in the last big election to have every county be a red county. So. There is good and bad…
I'm from Oklahoma, and quite active in politics and grassroots movements here. There is so much more to Oklahoma than her, the bombings, and the movie Twister. True, we have enough people that like her to vote her into office, but her opponent was Brittany Novotny, a transgendered candidate. That polarization really…
I just finished my first two days as a high school Spanish teacher. I am wiped out. I love it and I hate it and I dread it and I anticipate it. Weird feelings! Happy Weekend, ya'll!
Ha! That's funny. I just imagine a bunch of weird, desperate dudes and sane, disappointed ladies standing on either side of the court like in middle school dances. The girls don't want the weird cooties and the boys are too emotionally underdeveloped to ask the girls to dance. (Yeah, I acknowledge that's a broad…
Ugh. I hate saying this, but American Apparel tees have lasted me years. The 50/25/25 blend is great, breathable, and doesn't get fuzzy in the wash. Same goes with the summer tees. I buy mine at a local boutique, so I support them, too, as well as the shitty company. But Target/Hanes/whatever tees just don't cut it.…
Several years ago, I was once talking at work about how stupid expensive weddings are because those people could put money into savings, do a house down payment, whatever. Something useful. Some guy was sitting next to me and later Facebook searched my work, found me as an employee, and asked me on a date. We're…
Are you from Oklahoma? Because it's awesome here. I love this cold front. I'm actually wearing jeans! Whoa!
Just gonna throw this out there: everytime I see OKC (OKCupid) I think OKC (Oklahoma City) and I get excited that there's a happenin' dating scene for my friends here, but then I realize it's not the same OKC. Oklahoma City is a great place to meet people though. If you have problems with one OKC, come to the other…
