You're six hours ahead of us right? I gauge Europe by where the UK and Germany is. Family conference times. LOL!
Well it's 6:27 am here in Wales (so the UK) now if that gives you a hint.
I never knew that you were Welsh! I thought you had the Union Jack above your avi for a while? Sorry I didn't notice the change.
Yeah I'm Welsh lol. I'd use the Welsh flag but it's not in the database. I normally just roll UK flag (the union jack) or Russian lol.

Rhongomiant is from Welsh folklore too lol.
I was confused when I saw an NM called "Gwyllgi" which literally translates into "Wild dog" from welsh lol
Edit: And I bet everyone pronounces Gwyllgi wrong lol.

Ll makes an unique sound in Welsh lol.
Put your tongue on the roof of your mouth and just blow lol, it's essentially that sound.

I was asleep.
No, seriously. The towers were hit at like 9am and I'm in San Diego, and there was no chance I was gunna be up at 6am at 21 years old.
My dad woke me up, who I was staying with at the time, and I remember bleary-eyed stumbling into the living room to just kinda watch in numb shock as the first tower came down.
It was surreal because I had been in Manhattan not two weeks before, and had dinner at Windows on the World at the top of the WTC for a birthday present.

We can drink at 18 here >.> (too bad I don't drink lol)
Now that Osama is out of the picture, this was milling around in my brain. Just kind of curious...
I was driving to my high school in the morning when I heard it over the radio. I was late, so it was probably ten minutes to eight central time. I remember the confusion that the DJ had, and I'm pretty sure they thought it was a hoax at the time.
Most of the teachers kept the TVs off, but were all consumed with what was going on. (They had the luxury of watching it on their computers.) It wasn't until I was in athletics that our coaches abandoned mat drills, and whatever miscellaneous BS we were going to do that day, then I finally got to see what had happened. The coaches led us all into the locker room and we watched the live feeds on a continuous loop for an hour and a half.
EDIT: LOL! I needed to do a couple edits. Damn you, red wine!
