I haven't updated in a few days because I haven't really been able to think. Or at least, haven't been able to think publicly.

I will perhaps write something eloquent about 9/11 tomorrow, or perhaps not, because honestly, I have been so mentally fried as it's not been a uber-present thought for me.

I will note however though that a number of people have mentioned that this year feels worse than last year. There's a simple reason -- last year we were still in the throes of shock and recovery -- it was still going on. So it wasn't _really_ a first anniversary. This year is, and as such is feeling the way we expected last year to feel.

I agree with what you noted here. I'll add that it's really weird to be so far away from NY right now. People in LA are such islands of themselves. A woman who was living in NY then, a friend who was living in Israel and I, who was living in Boston, were talking about this tonight at school. There should be . . . something tomorrow to remember what happened but there very likely won't be in LA.

I for one don't think I'll be able to watch the news tomorrow. Just in case they show photos. I think I need to close myself off from feeling other people's feelings on this day, because I couldn't do it for a long time after the tragedy in 2001. And I have an OCD to show for it.
