So, it's August of 2011

[conuly]

And in about three weeks it will be September of 2011, and not long after that it will be the tenth anniversary of 9/11.

And I want to be really clear, right now. I mean, right now.

I don't want to hear about it.

I'm not going to run around defriending people, but whatever you have to say, if I'm your friend, please consider sticking it behind a well-marked cut. If it's going to be FLocked anyway, do me a favor, make a custom group and keep me out of it.

The only thing I want to hear about it is that after next year we'll stop talking about it until the 25th anniversary. That'd make me really happy. Because the only thing worse than being in the city on 9/11 (and luckily I was safely trapped on Staten Island) is having to talk about it, every year, and watch that awful footage on TV.

I already have to live in this city, but when it comes to online, do me a favor and leave me out.

Thank you!
