I was in french class. I was happy because we spent the period talking about it instead of learning about which verbs are conjugated with etre.
It's funny how in historic moments like that, it just seems normal; personally, when I found out, I felt nothing, because it didn't affect me directly, being in Toronto. Or maybe because it hadn't really sunk in yet. Maybe because I didn't know that the total dead was over 2000.
When it really hits the most for me is when I'm watching a movie set in New York, made pre-9/11, and there's an establishing shot of the skyline. And I see the two towers, and think, "Wow. Those aren't there anymore." And thinking what it would've been like if you had, say, a father working in the WTC, and the kind of feeling you would feel when you found out what happened; fear, panic, denial...the whole deal. And you think how glad you are to never have had to feel that.
RIP

That's not what he needed to know. That's how to conjugate etre, but he's talking about the past tense, in which some verbs have etre instead of avoir.

gracias.
BTW, this post was kind of vapid.
--------------------
Yeah, it was kind of meant to be. I was optimistic enough to think I could get some easy +2s for no work for something like this, but it turns out you need a big name around uber to pull something like that off.

Holy shit this was bland, empty, and fake.
I'd know. You told me.
----------------
Bland? Yes. Empty? Definitely. Fake? Obviously. But never...wait, yeah, you're pretty much right. I guess you need a well known name to get good reviews for this kind of bullshit. Experiment failed.

You need to spend less time in your basement masturbating and trying to pick on 15 year-olds and more time... just about any thing else.
