It's understandable (better someone else than me), but still slightly tacky.
Yes, this! I understand, but, hey, why don't you think it instead of say it?
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, Tom, I was going to comment. Don't they do drills near you like every week? I'm always seeing streams of cop cars turning down a street near you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yes, this! I understand, but, hey, why don't you think it instead of say it?
Yeah, you're crazy. How could someone have a thought and not say it out loud????

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
and also? doesn't it go without say that we are happy when we or the people we know are not killed by terrorist bombs. I MEAN REALLY!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There are drills, and then there are drills. This one is called "Operation Hercules".

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
All my London LJ peeps have checked in. An LJ FoF who I keep meaning to friend (and who happens to have JUST arrived in London in the last day or two) also appears to be okay, though she hasn't been able to get to a computer, and had to rely on the old-fashioned way of contacting people to spread the word that she's just stuck somewhere away from her computer.

Tom, double dog dare you to walk near them singing "I Can Go the Distance" LOUDLY, maybe even out a window. That would be comedy GOLD.
I am pretty sure I have the Ricky Martin Spanish version of it here somewhere, I could send you an MP3.

How do you find out about it?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
my co-worker doesn't let a conversation about London pass without saying something like, "well, it's too bad that happened over there, but I just hope that it won't start happening here." I don't know why this bugs so much. Possibly because I have personal stakes over there, as well as here.
Yes, this. And if I make myself stop and think, I can even understand. A little. I didn't have this strong a reaction to the Madrid bombings because I've never been to Spain. But I lived in England for a year, I know people there even if I've done a piss-poor job of staying in touch, and I spent a lot of time in London. Makes my fury very personal. Which I suppose is just as All About Me as your coworker and the person on my other list. But I'm still pretty pissed off at anyone who moves so quickly from "terrible thing elsewhere" to "Oh, God, what if it happens HERE?"
