Where were you...

Taken from Crash from got it from someone who got it from someone....

1. Where were you when you heard that Ronald Reagan died?

At home. I actually read it on CNN.com before I actually "heard" it. I was sleeping most of that dat.

2. Where were you on September 11, 2001?

At work. My boss' fiance called her to tell her about it and we went down to the trading floor to watch it on the TV screens down there. As I lived in Queens at the time, I had no way of getting back short of walking all the way to Astoria so I bunked at the boss' apartment that night. I just remember the sick feeling of having absolutely no control over anything and feeling so helpless.

3. Where were you when you heard that Princess Diana died?

At my parents' house. I was house sitting for them and I was having problems sleeping since I was also sick at the time. I was curled up on the couch watching Saturday Night Live when the news report came in. I stayed up all night long watching the news reports.

4. Do you remember where you were when you heard Kurt Cobain had died?

Not a clue.

5. Take one for The Gipper: What’s your favorite flavor of jelly bean?

Sour Apple.

6. Where were you when Magic Johnson announced he was retiring from the NBA due to AIDS?

Since I don't want to answer this one the same way as #4, I'll make up an answer and say I was having sex at the time.

7. Where were you when Reagan was shot?

Definitely in school. First grade in Dallas, Texas. Silver Springs Elementary, I believe.

8.Where were you when the Challenger exploded?

At home from school. I remember being pissed that they interrupted The Price is Right to show the news story of it. And then they showed the explosion over and over and over all day long. I got annoyed very fast. We were stuck inside because of the snow in North Carolina and well...there was nothing else on TV to watch.

9. Where were you when the 0J verdict was announced?

At work. Lots of people brought in TVs to watch the verdict live. I was at my friend Kathy's desk watching the verdict with her and about ten other employees. Only one person was happy with how it came out. The rest of us were in total shock.
