Tragedy.

It's moments like this when I am SO sharply reminded that once you're a Soldier, you never stop being part of the military family.  I lost eleven brothers and sisters today.  Another 31 were wounded.  HERE.  On American soil.  Where they should be safe.  I don't even know their names.  I'm waiting to hear who they are, because I know people who are stationed there.

I'm trying not to cry.  It's not working.

Senseless, needless loss of life.

I need a drink.

Hun, I'm gonna drink coffee tonight and bury myself in a fanfic I'm writing. That was already the plan. Don't worry, hun. I've gotten pretty good at keeping a level head over the years. People just don't realize it until the shit hits the fan.

*hugs* Take care of your academics, and I'll talk to you soon. <3
