After one of the most emotionally exhausting nights I've had in a long time, I collapsed in bed and slept for about 10 hours, then woke up and logged on, and _hannelore pinged asking if I'd heard what had happened in London. The Olympics? I asked. No.

Ran to check on my London friends. All had posted, except one who is on vacation out of the country.

Maybe it's the anger and sadness and disappointment of last night talking, but I feel more upset right now than I did the morning of September 11th. I think it's partly that the WTC attack was on such a grand scale that it was hard to even comprehend it, whereas the scale of this is more human-sized.

I feel sick. If there's anything I can do for anyone -- though I can't imagine what -- tell me.

Life needs to stop happening, dammit.

Yeah, what is with all this shit happening at once? Not cool.

My painting was okay, by the way. I got the masking fluid off before it stained or stuck or anything.

Just posting helps.

I have cried loads today at how loving and worried my flist has been - it's amazing.

It's moving to me, too. I love that fandom can be that, even though I hate that it's ever necessary.

You know, I know what you mean about feeling worse than on 9/11. For me I think it was because that was so unique that the shock of it prevented me from fully comprehending it. Now, we've gone through it, and all that's left is the horror and grief from it.

I don't know. I'm just....I wish I could just leave work now and go find my friends.

I was just saying that to a friend of mine today, how I felt worse than I did on 9/11. I thought maybe part of it was that on 9/11 I was in it, basically, and so I could just deal with it with everybody else here. Now I was just hearing about it.
