Well this time last year S-11 happened and Ansett collapsed, taking $600 of my hard earned money with it.

What I wrote about it all last year )

And as for this year. Hrmm, well we're gonna be inundated with the coverage. 38 shows this week about it apparently, that's more than you get Christmas shows around Christmas

I'd like to be watching it all with Matt, but I hafta wait till tomorrow to see him.

My conads round arrived, with a paycheque thank God. But I hafta give cheques to 3 of the places this time round and stuff which means 1. I hafta make it there somehow (Bassendeen, Cannington and Melville! *ugh*) 2. I hafta make it there when "the manager" will be there. Crap. And I hafta manage this in two weeks and juggle uni and carlessness at the same time.

Back to S-11, the US is on orange alert *yawn*. Did they really expect there'd be NO threats?? Half of them are probably hoaxes from people who get a sick kick out of panicking everyone but S-11 is gonna be the safest day from no on cuz everyone is gonna be so damn alert.

I must finish this essay today. I will lose the point and rant crap but I WILL hand in SOMETHING!

And now I'm getting hungry and wanting breakfast.

That I meant to write before.

Most people I know aren't watching any of the stuff, and I can understand that.

It's still shocking and terrible that it all happened but I still want to see the footage because I am just intrugued by the mechanics of it all. That it COULD happen, how well executed it all was. They hit the corner, not the middle because a hit in the middle and the tower could possibly have stood, hitting a corner destroyed the support structure. How once the top floors came loose and started falling there was no hope for the rest of the building because the weight of previous floors just kept increasing until they all crashed down and pancaked into a smoking heap.

I think it's probably just my clinical mind, the same one that makes my find biology as my forte. There is no wrong or right, things just... are. That's how I try and see most stuff. I mean hell, I get emotional, just ask anyone who knows me well. :) But I can also snap around and be the most unfeeling, clinical bitch around. For my line of work I'm gonna hafta be. In the animal kingdom there is no subjectivity. They just live to survive and procreate, no more. (I'll stick up my personal essay "slaves to the nucleic acid" sometime, this will all make more sense)

Hrm, prolly more to write here but I can't think of it, maybe I'll ramble more later as I do.

But now essay, yes yes I will I will I will!! *argh!!*

I think the biggest trouble I'm having writing this is that I know it's wrong and I'm thinking to myself "oh I'll be marked down for this and this and I'm missing the point here"

Also having books as a reference is a pain cuz you hafta look up pages and hold the book open and find space and type at the same time and stuff. If it were online it would be a simple matter of flicking windows, copying and pasting, but noooooo.

*gah*

Richardson v Forestry Commision (1988) 77 ALR 237

Okay, that's how to cite a court ruling. Can anyone tell me what the 77 ALR 237 crap on the end means?? I have NO idea.

Wheeeeeeeee!!

Just spun around in my chair for a while, knocked over the bin while I was at it.

Gotta love how the room pulsates for a while afterwards. Took me a while to realise that the chair had actually stopped spinning.

I am now giddy and dizzy, hehehe

There's your S-11 drama

a rogue dog running up some highway and causing traffic jams.

I wish you would just leave a simple message.
I get so worried. Watching 9-11 stuff doesn't help.

It just goes through my mind everytime. What if something's happened?? What if I never see you again? How will I live the rest of my life?? I get sick thinking about it and a simple message could aleviate 99% of it. But you still don't do it. Why????

As for the shows I just watched.
The one on the tower's structure was interesting, as with all stuff like this, somethings were just not done right. Things that "could have been predicted" but really, you can only ever know in hindsight.

I see and think of the WTC and I don't even think of terrorists or government. I guess I keep watching the footage of the hits and the falls because, my mind can't get over that part. No matter how many times I see it still looks like something that did not happen. I never knew the towers. When I got the original "a plane has hit the World Trade Center" message from Matt I had no idea what the WTC was, where it was. I don't remember the New York skyline beforehand. Sure, I'm Australian, I have never left this country, I live in it's most isolated city. But I still feel like I should have a memory of beforehand, considering my age.

yeah, at the moment I am just cold and worried and want to know where Matt is and I want to talk to him, desperately. But I must have a shower and go to sleep or I'll never get up in the morning.

I'm feeling pretty unstable at the moment.
