Hmm...being a youngin, I too was born long after Kennedy was assasinated. But my dad tells me that he got home from school, walked into the den, and my grandma was sitting on the floor in front of the television crying. He hadn't ever seen his mother cry before.
Diana: She was killed on my birthday, and I was having a sleepover with a bunch of friends. The Spice Girls were singing on SNL that night, so we were playing "Big Girls" and staying up to watch it. As they were being announced, the news anchor came on with the news. It was a sad birthday.
9/11: During school, people were being checked out by their parents all day long, until during my lunch block, there were eights people at my table that usually held 30. They wouldn't tell us what happened, but I remember walking by the main office and seeing the office ladies crowded around a TV crying, and I just walked in and sat down. They didn't stop me, and I saw the footage of the planes hitting the WTC. I wasn't completely familiar with what the buildings WERE, but it didn't mean the sigh of the people running and dying hurt any less. I was told not to make a scene about it, andn they made an announcement at the end of the school day.
Crime #1: I've seen people exchange drugs for money around midnight at a local gas station. We kept our mouths shut and left.
Crime #2: I took a pin from the shop at the Smithsonian once...I think I was 8, and my mom wouldn't buy it for me. I don't even know where it is.
Crime #3: I'd never ever pay for gas. That's a lot of money saved.
American Idol: I don't LIKE Fantasia, but out of the two, she's the better performer. Her last song was great last night. But ever since LaToya was kicked off, I've stopped caring who won. Fantasia will win, though. Even if she doesn't...oook at Clay Aiken. You see him everywhere...and what has Ruben been doing? Oh that's right...nothing!
Sick day today...I hate being dizzy.
I'm excited for the Tonys!
