how much has the world changed in 5 years

its sept 11 so i'll do my story (as i feel bad making an entry without mention):

I had been home alone for a few days and was at school taking an AP euro test on the spanish conquistadors (i remember exactly what i was writing) when someone came in and whispered something to my teacher, she went white, but didnt say anything...then our douche principal came over the loud speaker saying he had to make a very special announcement (in an excited tone of voice where we were expecting a homecoming date request..it was not)...we all left the class for the tvs in the cafeteria and were watching live when the towers fell.

school was so weird that day, the streets of chicago were filled with people walking /running home (i cant imagine what NY was like), and I became addicted to the news, for weeks i always had it on.

personally for me one of the most disturbing things was that my dad had a 7:45 am United flight out of boston logan on 9/11...he was in the air when the planes hit...he couldnt get through to me by phone for 5 hours and he couldnt get home for 3 days (he ended up sharing a rental car with a few other stranded Chicagoans)

I am truly sorry for the victims, families, and anyone who lost someone

on a lighter note to cheer people up on the most depressing of days

I went underwear shopping yesterday which made me quite happy and ran across some panties that reminded me of molly ringwald:

I also found out that my favorite underwear ever AE boycut is so successful that they are opening a whole separate store for it...which i find exciting as the only thing i ever buy at american eagle is underwear

*I just got back from a class where we talked about mia Kirshner (as i was the only person in the class who knew who she was) for about a half hour, and then analyzed a stripping scene of hers from exotica--nice class*
