tell me what you were doing 16 years ago today anon
I was in high school, I'd been up until 3am playing video games the night before. I had my head down half asleep when they wheeled a TV into the room and turned on the news. Everybody watched for a while not really knowing what to do before I put my head down and fell asleep again. Well except the fat girl who was into weird woo-woo stuff, she was sure the Sears Tower was gonna get hit next, because she had a family member who worked in it. They wound up dismissing us early.
playing counterstrike that night was kinda odd.
I was 4, probably shitting my pants or eating some random stuff I found on the ground

checkin checked my man
High school as well. I definitely didn't understand the gravity of it for quite a while, weeks or months maybe. Mostly I was thinking, well that sucks, but I don't know anyone in NYC, or know anyone who knows anyone in NYC so I'm not super sad about it.
