Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My dad just emailed to say that the bomber's house is about 10 blocks from the building he and my mom lived in when they met. (She had just moved to Boston and rented a room in his apartment.)
Fortunately it's nowhere near where my brother lives now, or my aunt.

OMG, monday morning quarterbacks make me crazy. There's speculation and then there is Making Up Theories To Make U Luk SMRT.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
The bombers live on the same street as my friend Bob and they've played basketball in his driveway. He and his husband have been evacuated by the FBI.
I am paralyzed with shock and grief. I called out of work today. Should put the computer down and watch some Community or Friends or classic HIMYM.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Boy, what the fuck a thing to wake up to. I turned on the Today Show, and they had a live report from a guy who was prostrate on the ground, after the cops told them all to get down, get down!
This is surreal.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Holy shit.
I don't have anything much to add, just. Holy shit. I just want this to be over, with everyone safe and the suspect in custody.
I have so many people in Boston: friends, relatives, Buffistas, former classmates, M's friends, way too many people to check on individually, but Jesus, I wish I could. This is fucking terrifying.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
God, I have to go get dressed and get to work, but I don't want to leave the computer. While I'm here, even if I'm just reading and not posting, I feel like I'm still *with* you, but if I get up and go, even for the few minutes it'll take to get up and out and log in at work, I'm turning my back on everyone and some new bad thing will happen while my back is turned.
