The kitty wanted pie.

That's pretty unfortunate. Are you old enough to remember the attacks? That would have to have been a very strange birthday.

[–]notsocrippled[S] 1 point2 points ago

yeah, it was my ninth birthday

[–]zaphod_85 0 points1 point ago

What was that day like for you? 9 is still pretty young, did you really grasp the enormity of what was happening?

[–]notsocrippled[S] 1 point2 points ago

i don't know if i can say that i fully grasped it, but my world was definitely turned upside down. I remember coming home and seeing my dad watching television. Coming from a then lower class family, the first red flag was that my dad was at home and not out working and the second was that the TV was on (very rare). I sat down next to him and started watching the news and I still remember the absolute heartbreak I felt. I had only recently grasped the concepts of death and hate, so this was an emotional sensory overload. Even as a 9-year-old I felt no sadness about my lack of birthday celebration, but only for the lost souls and their families. I cried for hours and for years was terrified whenever a plane went over head.

I remember that scared feeling every time I heard a jet go by. My high school was right underneath the flight paths for the F-16s that they had patrolling the skies in the aftermath (those suckers are so much louder than your typical commercial jet), and every time one flew over everyone would stop talking, wondering in our heads if the roar was going to suddenly get louder and end in an explosion.

It's a day where people give you cake in real life. Soooooooo....STFU

[–]salenth -2 points-1 points ago

But you sound like a goddam retard everytime you say it.

[–]zaphod_85 -1 points0 points ago

They don't sound as retarded as the people that correct them, though. If it bugs you so much, just downvote and move on.
