Song of the Day 9/11/11: "A Little Faster." ~There For Tomorrow~
Quote of the Day 9/11/11: "Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won't do that."
Disclaimer: You know, I've been thinking about it - really really thinking about it - and I've come to the conclusion that, no matter how many stars I bore to death wishing for it, it's never going to happen. I just don't own InuYasha. And I don't know that I ever will.
Kagome
The doorbell rang all of a sudden
And I braced myself;
I didn't know what to expect.
As Mama got the door
I turned
To InuYasha
And fixed a baseball cap
Gently over his ears.
I fiddled with the bill
For a few seconds.
I heard them
At the door.
Talking.
Laughing.
Loving.
I couldn't make out his voice
But
I'm sure InuYasha could,
Even if his hearing
Was slightly muffled by the hat
He had to wear -
Just in case.
He grabbed my hand,
Gave it a squeeze.
"You ready?"
I shook my head.
"Not in the least."
He smirked.
"Too bad."
Then
He stiffened.
All his senses
Trained
On
The
Door.
I felt it
A second later.
An extremely
Evil Aura was
Moving towards us.
Slowly sucking the life
Out of the house.
Definitely
Not
A
Good
Sign.
I shivered;
Looked up.
Stopped breathing.
Another short one. A little heads up: the next few are going to be rather short. This one, obviously, plus chapters eight and nine at least. I'd say chapter ten is... average length. I'm not sure about the others, though; I've only got up to chapter ten typed out so far... I should really get moving, huh?
I know this has nothing to do with the story, but I need to ask someone so... Book suggestions. Does anyone have any book suggestions? I'm almost done with all the books I've got from the library and I don't know where to go from here; what I should read next. So, read any good books lately or have a favorite you can suggest I check out? It'd be insanely helpful if you did. And if not... I dunno, I'll figure it out eventually. Just thought I'd ask.
So today's the tenth anniversary of 9/11. It's weird, thinking that something that affected America so greatly happened ten years ago today. I've heard that people remember exactly where they were when they heard about what happened, well, I don't. Ten years ago today, I was sitting in a first grade classroom, doing science or something and kids all around me were getting picked up and I didn't know why. I remember, by the end of the day, there were only about five of us left in the classroom, and the other classes were pretty empty as well. I don't remember who told me about it exactly, but I think it might have been my mom or my teacher. It's just so insanely weird, thinking about it. I've basically grown up in the after-math of 9/11. I don't live in New York or anywhere near it, but still, everything's different because of that day. A lot of good people died that day. I don't know anyone personally who did - none of my family has ever lived in New York - but a lot of other people do. Some people were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, others were just doing their job, trying to provide for their family, and still others were rushing into the buildings, saving others, and died in the process. I'm glad to hear that in times of crisis Americans really can step up to the plate. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you knew anyone who died that day, I am so sorry for your loss; I cannot imagine what losing a loved one in that way must feel like. And if you or anyone you know were a hero that day, thanks. I dunno if people like that term or not, but really, truly, thank you. It's good to know America is still able to produce good, selfless people.
Anyway, let me know what you think.
Peace out,
~Hisa-Ai~
