friday five (posted on a sunday), on september 11

1. How often are you reminded of the events of September 11, 2001?
Not often now, unless I hear/read it referenced in a speech or something.

2. In what ways has your own life changed as a result of the events of September 11, 2001?
It marked the beginning of my political awakening.

3. Did the world become more dangerous that day, or did we just become aware of the danger?
I think the US became more aware of it.

4. What is your attitude toward safety and caution in these post-9/11 days?
Personally, I feel no safer now than I did on this day five years ago. So I suppose it’s no different from how it was then. Don’t be too careful, but also don’t be careless, if that makes sense.

5. Is September 11, 2001 a bigger deal now, five years later, or is it less of a big deal?
Probably less. I think it was a bigger deal back in 2002.

friday five, on anger

(By way of friday5.org)

1. Who is most likely angry at you right now?
I’ve got no idea.

2. Who were you most recently angry at?
I don’t remember.

3. How easily do you get angry?
Not as easily as I did, say, fifteen years ago. The good thing is that now I can recover from being angry quite easily.

4. How best do you deal with anger?
Vent in writing. Cry. Listen to music. Something like that.

5. How can people tell, just by looking at you, that you are angry?
A roll of the eyes, followed by a “pfft!”, or something like that. If I’m expressing it online, in writing, all they have to do is read what I’m writing. *nod*
