i don’t have time to write a full entry right now but i just wanted to say i’m fine, nothing got hit in my area. more later.

12:50 pm update: this morning has been insane. i woke up around 9:30 am because pine was beeping so many new mail alerts - as of now, i’ve received 113 emails asking if i’m okay. i’m overwhelmed, i had no idea so many of you cared about me like this. i don’t know how to thank you.

i called my mother and other people to let everyone know i was okay, then started trying to find out about the rest of my friends. there was a very scary hour or so when nobody had heard from Strict9 of #thorns, who worked in the world trade center, but eventually gundam spoke to his mother and found out that he’d left a message with her saying he was okay.

i have no radio and no tv reception at all, so i’ve gotten most of my information from other people on irc. around 11am i went out to give blood - there were lots of people doing the same thing and everything was pretty efficient, if very tense. i feel kind of sick as a result though, because i’m anemic and i don’t take well to blood loss. i’m going to go out and get some juice and stuff in a little and i’ll try to get some more pictures of the skyline, what’s left of it.

i don’t know what to say about all this. i still haven’t heard from all my friends who work in lower manhattan and i’m sick with worry. i’m going to go lie down for a bit, i’ll update more later. thank you all for your concern, i really appreciate it. if you can, try to go out and give blood - they really need it.
