I do a post about this every year. I came home from work and went to sleep. Two hours later my co-worker called and woke me up, told me what was going on. I turned on TV and watched for a while. I called my two closest friends, one of whom I was in love with at the time. I wanted to hear her voice and know that she was okay even though we were all in the middle of the Midwest, far from any of the danger. I wanted to make sure that our trip to the Rennaisance Festival we'd planned for that weekend was still on, because it didn't seem like anything that had been in place on the day before could possibly still exist. By then I needed to go for a walk so I went down to the local game store and talked with the owner for a while. After that I had no choice but to go home and get a few hours shut-eye since I had to be back at six p.m. to work a twelve-hour. I remember driving to work, seeing the lines of cars at all the gas stations where prices had been jacked up in panic. I got supper at Arbys and can still remember exactly what I ordered. I spent the night at work IM'ing with my friend Beth while we watched the coverage together in our seperate locations.
