i was in 5th grade when 9/11 happened
they made us watch this video after doing the pledge every morning for a year afterwards
thank you

I had to sing that song every day for a class in elementary school. The teacher would have us sing in chorus and was a perfectionist about our timing. He'd always put a lot of emphasis on the pause between "stand up...... Next to you!" This was before 9/11, so I guess my teacher was just a true patriot before it was cool.

The same teacher often spoke in the third person and promised us a "big party" at the end of the year if we did everything perfectly all year. I remember that we got some 2 liters of pop and popcorn and feeling ripped off

On 9/11 I was watching Real Genius on the HBO my family was stealing in the pre-digital cable switchover.

If anyone wants to talk national tragedy it's when the US telecoms infrastructure switched from analog to pure digital.

People used to go to the rats nest of wires in the tap where all the cable comes from. If the perform the correct ritual and plug the thing into the thing and take off the terminator then boom you ~stole~ free cable. Now, instead of communing with the cable spirits raw, the individual connectors on the tap have to receive authorization from the cable billing office before it dispenses sweet sweet signal.

I mean we live in the future and it's better now. But it was cool back then.

The tragedy of my dad waking me up from a really good afternoon nap to tell me the news, just in time to watch the second plane hit.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
