Here's why I think something is happening. The night before 9/11, at like 4am, I wound up having this brutally nostalgic conversation with my then boyfriend, me talking about University, and the bombing at the WTC (we always say the "first bombing" as if there was a second bombing, when there wasn't exactly), and then in the morning was the WTC, and then that plane crash at the end of the city a few weeks later, and the earthquake that felt like a truck ploughing into his apartment building. It was a terribly specific feeling, and as someone/something else I'm about to get to just said, we were much younger then.

I just wrote something pretty harsh to someone I care about. Honestly, it's probably the tip of the iceberg, because I do have all this unexplored anger, but I just wrote about who we were, in a way I don't have the time to bother to think about it.

And then, _right_ after reading it, I find someone else having written something about the day we met, and how we were both so much younger then and about my hat, her hat with the feathers, and how it's hard for her to picture me wearing it anymore. And it's very truthful, but more than that, since I started composing my little tirade last night, and all through this this morning, I've been itchy, itchy itchy itchy, and it's like that night. And so I'm freaked by the EGGs and hoping it's just all crap, or just because the Conclave starts tomorrow, or too many people watched Supervolcano last night. But I'm not so sure. The end of the world is such a long static point.

What fascinates me most, is how everyone accepts/understands that I belong on the other side of the world. No long, "Raaaaach....", the whine that inevitably comes when I'm going through one of my things. Terrifying, to have my perception of my world trusted or even just, not mocked.

Not only the Conclave and the Supervolcano thing, but also the recent SoCal earthquakes.

*shudders*

Very interesting on many levels. I've been having 'disaster' nightmares for several days now, as well. Maybe something is happening, or soon.

That really is Little Kitty's job.

What has me worried is the gorgeous weather. And it is so sad that sparkeling, sunny days now seem like bad omens instead of beautiful New York afternoons, but there you are . . .

I was wondering if it was just the weather making the EGGs go off too.

Heh, well in theory the groupthink that's making the thingies go all freaky-like is million's of people thinking "Do I want the omelette or the fritatta for brunch?"

Eep!

Well, let's just hope I haven't been unknowingly predicting any great disasters and the universe is just having a massive attack of coincidence? (I haven't been getting any real vibes myself, but I did clean my room, which could be a sign of the apocalypse.)

(It is a great hat.)

Your yarn went out priority mail yesterday, btw.

Cool!

I had a feeling it would get here eventually - it's for a project I can't start until I finish MOUNDS OF BABY CLOTHES for a friend, so don't worry about it too much. I really appreciate you picking it up for me. :)

So far it looks like a false positive, at least with respect to the hypothesis the experimenters have put forward. You can't have a globally conscious event if no one is conscious of it. Unless something happened that the west just isn't aware of yet, but with every hour that becomes less likely. The anecdotes here don't have me worrying any less, though.

slow moving biological event, read: missing flu samples

Actually, I was thinking Marburg. Suddenly it's mutated to be airborne, with 100% mortality rate? Yikes. And if it was ripping through central Africa, we wouldn't have heard about it yet.

I can't decide if those samples scare me or not. It seems like there's no way in HELL that could have been an accident. It's not like you arrange viruses chronologically and someone grabbed and cultured the wrong vial. To get to a level 2/3 pathogen that's killed a couple million people, you've got to get it out of a special refrigerator. So if it's not an accident, the question is, why, and answer is probably money -- instead of 50 million getting vaccines at 30 bucks a pop, we could have a billion or two. That's a lot of dough.

Except vaccine production/development takes months and months and months... not lucrative to have everyone dead first.

Unless: a) It's not a fake story. No one from the lab in question has yet been reached for comment. So you scare the public with a fake danger to drum up business...seems like they've been trying to drum up flu shot business for a long time.

Or b) that 1957 strain wasn't that bad anyway. That just so happens to be one of the years conspiracy theorists claim that the shot caused more sickness than the flu itself. The estimate is that it killed a million or two, but those statistics are very unreliable.

Oops, I mean: a) It IS a fake story. (was going to say 'not real' then I changed real to fake:)

It's a really low profit margin business though.

That's what they say. I haven't heard that anywhere other than the mainstream media, though, and I have such a hard time trusting them about anything these days.

A friend of mine's father works for one of the big two vaccine producers, and they were the riches people I knew until I moved to LA. I never really talked about it with her, because it's only recently that I've turned into a crackpot. Maybe I should ask her about it.
