kittydesadeI completely forgot. Mostly, I think, because I thought it was the 20th, and April 20th just doesn't have the same ring that April 19th does.
The country completely forgot, too, what with one thing and another. It happens.
I remember after it happened, security at my Mom's workplace tripled. All of a sudden I couldn't smile at the guards I vaguely remembered and go up to meet her, I had to call her from the desk, sign in, stay in a tiny little closet of a visitor's room, then go through a metal detector while my Mom waved a chipped pass at a green flashy beepy thing. I remember thinking, holy hell. That could have been my siblings in there. I remember being scared when that happened, and, hell, when some jackass shot up the Capitol building too, but I remember that what hit me hardest was that while people hate The Man, they don't... do that.
Well, apparently they do, but I was a teenager. I was invincible. I was in high school. They didn't do that, then.
It's not really a bad day, it's just kind of. Huh. Happy Anniversary.
There are song lyrics here, but I can't remember them. I'll google them and edit them in later.
