That was before I had joined MP, still only hearing things about it through CP.

I do recall being slightly weirded out looking over her shoulder and seeing all of the flag avatars.

On a positive note this corresponds closely with the time I started meeting all of you personally. I still fondly remember those days of fear right after and how empty that made the parks for us to play in.

But yeah, the culture of fear that spawned and is still with us in silly security checks and annoying invasions of privacy makes me think the terrorists were at least successful in defeating that aspect of the American ideal. I also remember how much the rest of the world loved us in those moments after and how quickly we squandered all that good will.

I believe December was the first NYE party you hosted too and with all the food the dark jokes of "well if something happens we won't go hungry for awhile" were rampant. Also: are you bacon or sausage.

One bright spot is that we live in California. When I travel abroad, claiming to be an American will have me spat upon. Saying I'm a Californian usually gets me a free drink.

That's all? You're lucky I have to say I'm from Washington DC.

I could swear there was some party at NA and €uro's that happened to be on a nine-elevenaversay, because Isaac and I were busy working on a replica of the twin towers that we would have a miniature airline crash into via traveling by wire. We were making building plans and shopping for miniature aircraft when we realized there'd be too many who might find the demonstration in poor taste. Oh well.

I recall that as well, thoughts of a twin towers cake?

I made the decision to leave my miserable job on 9/11/2001- after having the worst seizure episode of my life.

Ooooh, that's a pleasant idea. Maybe a twin towers souffle would be more appropriate. Ya know, something confectionary that could collapse. Bah, not enough time to work this out before Sunday ... but it's good to know my taste is still in my mouth.

That was Erica's surprise birthday party.
