just a dream

A few things today.


1.
9/11/01

This day was terribly surreal.  I was only in the eighth grade, so I didn't quite understand the implications of what happened, but I knew that everything was going to be different from that day forward.  And it was.  The events that day and the actions of a few people rippled out so far and wide and affected things and people that we could not foresee and did not expect.  I'll never forget that day, nor will I forget the sense of togetherness I felt as a citizen of the US after we were attacked by terrorists.  This day taught me that as people, we have to love and take care of one another because anything can happen at any time.
Love thy neighbor.

Second thing is a present I got myself this week.  

Lady Gaga heartbeats.  I had wanted these for quite some time, so the other day I decided to just get them.  I love them to death, and yes, I have listened to a lot of Lady Gaga through them :)

Last thing is a meme.  Haven't done one in a while. :)
