Perhaps the real proof that my soul has been eaten is that right now I feel nothing.

Yeah, still nothing.

By Daria logic, it's okay that I feel nothing, because I do feel bad about not feeling sad.

Hell, I didn't even know they had been up there in the first place.

Well, I do feel something - disgust at the people who maybe even thought it was the result of terrorism. Dumbasses. Yeah, Sadaam Hussein launched one of his "Nukuler" weapons at it. Just for kicks. Though it would have been great PR on Bush's part. Who would oppose a war versus Iraq if Bush told America that 7 brave soldiers had been silenced by the evil of Sadaam? Anyone who did would be Un-American. And an asshole. Maybe they should have blamed it on terrorism. Really would have worked in their favour.

This is the weird fucking cynical shit that goes through my head. Wonder if we'll talk about this in class on Wednesday.

Wonder if work'll be slow? Will no one come in, because they're at home, glued to the news? Will everyone come in, trying to escape reality by making a happy little bear? Will people more than ever ask me if we have astronaut outfits? Or will people come in, asking me, "What are they talking about? Something exploded? Those damn towel-heads acting up again? We should just nuke 'em all anyway."

Course, I am thickheaded. Maybe it'll just take a couple hours to sink in. I really hope I just don't start crying at work. I do bizarre emotional shit like that. Get upset over things that happened hours before.

Yeah, I have to get ready for work now.

aw, hell sweetie, I walked to the library looking upwards in hopes that I'd avoid falling spaceship....and wording it that way really makes me sound like a sarcastic asshole.

Hey, they died. Yes, that sucks. It's a terrible thing when innocent people who try to do good and want to have productive fun are told NO! NOT ALLOWED! But hey, that's the way life works. It's nothing to get broken up over because if you did, you'd spend your entire life crying. Even John Hughes didn't have that much angst.

I agree with you on the terrorism bit. My mother said that when she called. "They're saying it could be terrorism." My reaction "Oh go suck a fucking egg." What disrespectful assholes. Nothing like taking the mournful ceremony out of the occassion.

In any case, take your cue from Daria. You're not a bad person if you feel nothing- you're a realist. And if it weren't for us realists, the entire world would never get over a paper cut and we'd all be whining in our misery.

You have to watch out for that stuff. Did you hear it's a federal offense if you're found stealing, selling, buying, or hoarding (HOARD!) wreckage? Damn.

People have until today at 5 pm to hand in shuttle debris without being prosecuted.

And yes, there's already shuttle debris on sale on ebay.

You're not a bad person if you feel nothing- you're a realist

I don't know you and you don't know me, but I just wanted to say thank you for saying that. I'm pretty much reacting the same way as fadingembers to the whole situation, and it is so damn refreshing to know that there is someone out there who doesn't think I'm the scum of the Earth based on my views.

Thank you thank you thank you.

From one realist to another, you're welcome.
