mine....
the blackout - Home alone, I was actually on the computer, randomly surfing the net, then my comp just shut off....Then it came back on, in a surge of power for a second, then stayed off. Then, went over my buddy's house a few blocks over on my skateboard, proceded to play chess/risk/monopoly under the stars all night.
Right after it happened, I remember when some ignorant people of low socio-economic background [aka: white trash] were going around the neighborhood and proclaiming that terrorists did this and the entire nation's power was out !
Grr.....
columbia- Just a few days before, I noted to my math teacher [who works @ NASA part time] if he knew that it was the 16th anniversary of the challenger crash. He forgot. I remember, being surprised @ the time, that not many people remembered the significance of Jan. 28th [besides the fact that it was the date I was conceived
] A few days later, my father was watching television, and saw the incident on cnn.
sept. 11 - When it was actually happening, I was actually in class, and wasn't notified about it until 1030 AM [EST zone], when the school's president came on the p.a. and said what was happening. That day, was like a dream, didn't seem it was real, and confused as hell. Later, I saved the quiz that I took right after I heard that announcement. My handwriting was atrocious and my hand was trembling then, along with every bone in my body..
