9-11-2001 .. where were you?
 

i'll start off, was my day off from work and i was actually playing EQ.

was sitting in front of the bank in FV talking in OOC. i see a halfling druid next to me sitting, i asked him for a port and got no response. minute or so later i asked him if he was there and he says: yeah whats up? so i ask him if he got my tell and he says he's no paying attention to the screen, he's mourning..

at this point i still don't know what has happened, TV is off. i crack a joke and ask him if he's mourning the death of the ogre next to him (there was a dead body laying there in front of the bank) and that's when he tells me to turn the TV on and watch the news.

it's amazing the things you remember so vividly at certain points of your life.

RIP all those who lost their lives that day.

2nd period History class, Girl got dropped off late for school and said a plane hit one of the towers. Assuming it was a small prop plane and some kinda of tragic accident. Little did we know till turning on the TV in class to find out more.

My dad woke me up extra early for school (we lived in Hawaii at the time, 6 hour time difference from the East Coast) and turned on CNN. He said no words. I will never forget opening my eyes that morning to the second tower being hit.

I went to school and most people had no idea what had happened. I mentioned it to my first period teacher and he thought I was full of shit. Then we turned the TV on and the word spread like wildfire around campus.

I believe they sent us home early that day.

well as you can tell by my post count i don't frequent these boards, so i was unaware of another similar thread. thought it would be appropriate to start this thread on the 10th year anniversary to the day.

i'm sure Mods will move or merge this thread if need be.:)

I was at Best Buy buying EverQuest after I got off work at 0800. I got home and Mother told me what happened.

oops, I posted in the RnF thread. I was camping that gay goblin earring in WW while home "sick" from school.
