There are places I remember
Sep. 12th, 2009 03:32 amThis entry marks the memory of two very different events.
Number one, the most obvious: the 8-year anniversary of 9/11. Years may have passed, and new tragedies may have unfortunately continued to occur all around the world since, but my memories from that day are still as fresh as ever. The moment I heard my sister on the phone say to me "The twin towers are gone! They are completely gone!" is not something I'll ever forget. The only other time I ever cried that much in a single day was when my grandpa passed away six months before.
Number two, and much less important on a grand scale (but significant to me nonetheless), is that as of 12:04 am on 9/12/09 (yes, I checked. I am a nerd) it will be exactly seven years since my very first entry on livejournal. That is crazily crazy. I mean, just think about it for a second: a good chunk of you have now known me for most of my adult life, and have never even heard my voice. It's both incredibly weird and incredibly special, all at the same time.
So in honor of these anniversaries, both big and small, this entry will be about taking a look back (complete with a crazy picspam o' pics to better illustrate our Trip Down Memory Lane). I'm even breaking out my very first icon and everything. The oompas are back, yo. Ready to give you nightmares all over again! Haha.
(there'll also be a Vid of the Day of course, but I'm leaving you all in suspense as to which fandom it's for. I'll give you a hint though: which show was Rachael ape-shit obsessed with in 2002? Hmm, that's a tough one![/sarcastic])
( Here's to 7 years, one livejournal account, and a lot of epic rambling. Cheers, y'all )
