I haven't been back outside today... actually I'm just getting out of bed. But the helicopters kept me up all night. The Red Cross and other assistance trucks have completely invaded the area.

And happiest of all (and I don't know how this works when houses explode at 2 in the morning) but no one was hurt, no one was killed. An entire street of homes and cars was lost, but somehow no one died. Whoever was on the watch last night is damn good at what they do.

It was one street away from us, across the main highway street of the city. So basically, if that had happened just one street over, the street that would have gone up would have been our main square.

I was thinking it was about time for you to be waking up. xP 2, you know, kids getting out of school. x3

I'm so glad no one got hurt...but ohmygod I cannot imagine losing everything like that. I think I would go completely insane. It's kind of sad how much of my life is contained on so many little pieces of paper.

O_o You are so luckyyy.

Haha, yeah now you know my schedule!

Agreed. The things kept in one's house are sacred vessels of the soul. To burn them is a sacrifice to gods that don't exist.

I am soooo lucky, yes.

It's ironic, because today with my therapist we were talking about how I've been doing these kind of therapeutic doodles, and she asked me if I kept them, because some people like to rip things like that up or burn them to get rid of the 'negative energy', or whatever.

And I guess my eyes went wide and I exclaimed "No!" a little to fervently by the way she raised her eyebrow at me -- I would never be able to get rid of things like that. Sure, they were created in times of pain, some of them are scary... but I don't want to get RID of them. I want to be able to look back at them and see what I've come through. The pain has helped make me what I am, who I am.

I'm so glad everyone is alright.
