tonight, my mom called and told me to prepare myself with 3 days worth of food and water in case bin laden strikes the u.s. she says the u.s. government is recommending everyone be prepared.

i'm not prepared for this....this possiblity of war, a destruction of lives and of land. the thought is unnerving.

i don't understand war. i don't understand human hatred of this sort. i don't understand destruction of lives. i don't understand crime of this nature.

i have lived a life of innocence, of compassion, of love, peace, harmony, and togetherness. i am naive to hatred and murder. i understand goodness but i do not understand evil.

i thought of my puma cat and mentioned to mom i'd have to prepare some emergency cat food, as well. then she said, "oh...the cat, well then you need to get extra water since there's two of you." i thought that was kinda cute.

this sort of news brings out the motherly side of me and i feel the need to also buy boyfriend emergency supplies of food of water. he'd probably laugh at me and then think it sweet.

living in los angeles scares me. we'd make a good first few targets if anything were to happen.
