In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

Yahoo counted me as a "cool person" from 1997-2001. How far have I fallen?!

September 11, 2001 Finding People
9:40 a.m. PT We located my brother. He was working out at the gym when the crash happened, and he apparently saw the whole thing. I hope all my friends in New York are OK. San Francisco has closed the Golden Gate and the Bay bridges. Gareth can't get to work (in Marin). I might try to get to the office, because I have so much I need to get caught up on. Still trying to figure out what to do.

12:01 a.m. PT It's almost midnight right now. I ended up working from home today and mostly just alternating between freaking out and/or trying desperately not to freak out. Selena and Esther both called from Portland to check in. It was so nice to get phone calls from them. Esther also sent a really great email. Ya'll are the best. I'm glad you're my friends.
