h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A few million kilometers never stood in the way of a good friendship.

I used to come to h2g2 for the sole purpose of writing entries. And then I met a bunch of really great people. And now I just can't be pulled away. This is the only way I get to communicate with my friends that live all over the world as far as hundreds of thousands of miles and kilometers away from me.

I'm so happy !

I came to h2g2 to read the entries. And I did it for a long time. I registred as a user in May 2000 or something like that but I started to communicate and opened my page only in October. Now I spend my time here mostly communicating. Not a long time ago I discovered the statistics page and now it turns out that I'm quite often in the top 10 posters. Nothing to be proud of, of course, but still...
And then I got so many friends and some very special friends and now I spend my sleeping hours here. It's 10 pm. But at least I was able to stay online until you appeared here, .

Special, eh?

I registered sometime around the end of last summer. I never really got into it until Aprilish, though. But to be honest, if you're tired I'd hate to be the reason you'd stay awake. Plus I'm about to pass out too. Not that I couldn't sit here for hours talking to you or anything. Zarquon knows that I would if I could

So I'm sorry to cut short tonight's conversation, but now I'm going to catch a nap.

Sweet dreams!

Where are you?
Tell me that everything is okay with all your friends and relatives, please!

I've been trying to login for the past five hours, but it would never work, I'd get this damn Proxy message...

My mother was flying out of Boston the morning of the hijacking and the crashes. I almost collapsed in fear that I had lost the only person that ever loved me. And so for four hours I was in mourning, and on the verge of a nervous collapse.

I got home to find my mother safe and sound. The company told her she didn't need to fly anywhere earlier that morning until later that night, and then the disaster happened, so she was sent home, and that was that.

Words cannot express how I happy I felt to see her alive and well.

I gave my uncle who lives in Manhatten a ring to see if he was alright, but I only got his answering machine. And so for the rest of the night we sat around in silence praying to God (though I'm doubting his existence nowadays) that he was safe. He called around one in the morning, and we were relieved.

And then my aunt who lives in San Francisco called today, telling me that her best friend and co-worker was a passenger on Flight 11, and that he was now, obviously gone.

So I'm sorry it took so long to reply, but the phone lines have all been bottled up.

I'm glad to hear that this horror left you and your family ... er ... I don't know any word to place here, 'untouched' is definately not the word as I believe there is no person knowing about this and not careing. Huh! Anyway, I love you and I hope to meet you soon here in h2g2, if it is possible to break in here.

There is hope .

I love you, Hati.

(If you haven't seen it already, check out my article in the Post and the note I put in the conversation bit)

Look at how selfish I'm acting, asking you to read my article without even asking how you have been doing through this whole mess...

I'm sorry

But please tell me how you are doing? It seems like a lifetime since we had a real conversation and I need to know if you are safe and well...

I am safe. At least atm. Tomorrow I'll travel to Sweden which probably causes a week without h2g2. I hope I can stand the withdrawal syndrom. I'll travel by ferry, m/s Regina Baltica and it takes 16 hours. We will pass the place where m/s Estonia sank in sept 1994. So tomorrow I'm not so safe.
And I'm almost wel today, thanks for asking. Yesterday I isolated myself and spent the day without tv, radio and newspapers. A day before yesterday ended in a total depression, I was so exhausted that I was not able to read news on the air. Yesterday I had a day off, well I had covered the crises here in Estonia and in US alone since monday. It was about a time to collapse.

Now I'll go to read the article.

I miss you, but I hope you're having fun partying with Titania and Freedom...

You're back!




How was your trip?

Oh, yes, I'm back!
Just for welcome my cpu crashed.
But my trip was great and our mini-meet-up was also even better I expected. The sea was a littlebit restless last night so I was a little bit seasick and I caught some bad cold in Sweden but everything else was perfect. Though I missed internet.
Now I'm back and online. Tomorrow I must be back at work also.
It means I have to be there already in 8 hours.
I try to catch up things here for some minutes and then I guess I'll .

Seasickness, eh?

Well, I'm ecstatic that you're back, but speaking of seasickness, I wrote this hilarious poem sometime ago...

If you were to send me an email (my address is on my page), then I could reply and send it to you. I'd like to see what you think of it...


But you're back!!! Yay!!!!!!

I am back and my cpu keeps doing it's funny tricks. I know, it has it's own idea about my bedtime but still I didn't plan it to be so early last night.

I think I'm going to call it a night for h2g2.

Have fun at w*rk tomorrow.

Goodnight, Hati

Is it bedtime alread?

I'm a bit of a realist as well, although I cannot help but be an optimist at heart. I naively believe that most are good, but this is probably due to the fact that I haven't met many bad people in my life.

I took the day off today and it was amazing. I love anti-w*rk!

I think that they are all good, some of them just act badly.
All babies are good.
