It's freaky when you live through something like this. Being a California native, I've been through a couple serious earthquakes. Oh, and today my husband drove past a murder scene on his way to work. Joy.
It would be horrible to lose a loved one like that, but it's almost strange when something happens and nobody you personally know was seriously affected. You feel like there ought to be somebody you knew involved. It's a wierd headspace to inhabit.
Oh, and I'm hideously terrified of needles (nearly fainted getting the blood test for my marriage license and cursed when California dropped blood tests for that purpose just a couple years after I got married, dammit), but I'm going to look into donating a pint. Too many tragedies are made worse every year by people like me being wussies. Time to step up and do the right thing.
