Four Explosions in London.

[daylyn]

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in London right now. No one should ever have to experience the horror caused by sensless, cowardly terrorist acts. God, WTF is wrong with this world? I literally feel sick to my stomach by this.

Hope everyone is alright.

We're ok - hope everyone else is.

I'm so glad to hear you're OK. What a nightmare it must be.

Actually, everyone seems to be exhibiting what the media terms 'British stoicism', so we seem to be getting on all right. Maybe it's the inherited 'stiff upper lip' or something, but Londoners seem to be getting on with whatever they have to do without causing a fuss. Emergency services are running, public transport is gradually being restored and things generally seem to be under control.

Thankyou for your support. Luckily, as far as I've been able to find out none of our families and friends have been hurt either... and Sputz herself is safe in Israel at the moment.

That being said, it's still a horrible shock to realise that at least 37 people died suddenly and for no good reason this morning, and nothing can change that... And it was rather tense waiting to hear from others we knew were in London - it took about 6 hours to get hold of my dad, and I knew he'd been on the Tube that morning... But everyone on LJ has been a brilliant, and the community set up to post news on the events helped a lot.

The not knowing is the hardest part, isn't it? I'm glad to hear that your Dad is OK.

And the British 'stiff upper lip' is one of the things I love most about your country. One of my LJ friends, son_of_darkness had the best quote about it:

"Not seriously" isn't quite the term, but I know what you mean. It's the British reaction. The yes-okay-but-where's-my-tea-I-want-to-watch-Corrie response. You feel like going "Damn, I wish it was the French, it's fun to blame them for everything". When the news reporter said "Shopkeepers are opening their doors bringing out blankets and cups of tea" I just smiled. It's like yes. That's Britain for you. Tea solves everything. You're a bit cold? Tea. Your boyfriend has just left you? Tea. You've just been told you've got cancer? Tea. Coordinated terrorist attack on the transport network bringing the city to a grinding halt? TEA DAMMIT! And if it's really serious, they may bring out the coffee. The Americans have their alert raised to red, we break out the coffee. That's for situations more serious than this of course. Like another England penalty shoot-out."

I'm going off to make a cup of tea right now, and thinking of everyone in London while I drink it.

I can't believe that happend...its horrible, just horrible.
I wish America was cool enough to help them but we won't.
Terrorism is getting extemely out of hand.
:-/I hope everyone is alright also...even though most of them arn't...I just hope they recover ok.
I can't imagen what it is like to be there right now...
I'm so sorry to the people who live there and have to go though this...

Yes, terrorism is, unfortunately, the new way of the world, isn't it? It's just sickening. And it creates such a feeling of helplessness... and outrage. I'm so pissed off about this right now.

[dustbunnies710.livejournal.com]

When I first heard about it I couldn't decide if I was more shocked, pissed, or sad but then I watched the 11'o clock news...
Oh
My
God
this was basically it:
"Four bombings today in London. blub blub blub people injured blub blub blub people dead. The U.S. is now on alert and wonder whether we are next *insert more stuff about the U.S. being endanger here*"

I was rip shit. All we care about is ourselves.
Two lines. Thats all they said about London before they started talking about the U.S. being in 'danger'.
It makes me so mad.

It is hard to believe that so many deranged fools are still running amuck. The world would be a better place if everyone just read and wrote slash.

[daylyn.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more.

*steps up to megaphone* "Ahem... is this thing on? It is? Good. HEY EVERYBODY! Get you head out of your asses and start writing slash. That's an order!"

Oh, if only I had that power...

[vejgeta9.livejournal.com]

I only wish you did... but then, I just thought of something.

(In our slashy writing and reading world)instead of sending people to jail or death row, we could punish them by making them read 'Mary Sue Slash', written, produced, and tpyed by Mary Sue.

And for people that are really bad, we could make them read 'Mry Sue thiks that Harry Potter is hawt! So she flipppeed her perfect hair and walkedd past Snape, Dumbledore (who died, but whit her tears of healing and bringing thhe death back to life, he is alivre) Draco, Sirus (who she saveed by pushing him out teh way so that teh bast would hit her instead. When she fell thrrou the curtin, she came out on the other side with... Super Wand Power!!!)and Ron to Uncle Voldie.

Wit a brat of her eylashs, Uncle Voldie turned good and brough all the people he killed to life. Uncle Voldie said that 'Oh Sue! You are hawt!! I loves you. Marry me!

'Really? Oh Uncle Voldie, I loveed you too. Lets ask a Death Eatery to mary us!!" And Harry, Ron, Draco, and Dumbly, Snape commited killed themselfs because Mary was so hawt! and cause she went to Uncle Voldie.

The End.

Yeah. That would be enough to turn ANYBODY good!! My head hurts. I think I lost a few brain cells typing that up...

Oh an thy were at Mry Sues hawt! weding. Harry cme up to Mary Sue and sed You are hawt! Mary me to. Mary siad I cant marry you too harry cause i lover Uncle Voldremont. He is hawt! Harry said oh. ok.

But you can be godfathres when baby is born.

I love you I am rich. mary me to. The baby cried harry. I can see it. Ok push Mary. Then the baby came out. Ervybody came to see the baby.

My daughter said Voldie. What is her name said Harry. Her name is Phoenix Voldina LilyRains Summers Eve Sue. I think we shoul name her Phoenix Eve Rebecca Fresa Evelin Cortney Tisha. The we can call her PERFECT for short. No Tom said Mary sue. Her name is Phoenix Voldina LilyRains Summers Eve Sue. Ok said Voldie smiling at them. So we are the godfatters said Harry. Yes you are said Uncle Voldie. Can I hold it said Ron. Yes. Ok. Ohmigod said Ron Yall baby is so hawt!!

The end For Real


If I keep that up, my head will explode. However, it is pretty easy to type stupid once you get started. Good thing I didn't type this up on Word. It may have exploded commited sucide.
