Where were you when Stephen King was hurt.......

[CriticAndProud]

...by that van way back in 1999? I don't want to be bringing up the bad-gunky here, I know it's a sore spot with some of us. I wasn't a member (don't even know if the SKMB was around back then?)then. I didn't even know it had happened for a couple of days afterwards. Which is strange for me because I keep up on my Entertainment Tonight viewing religiously and read the paper and watch the news but for some reason it just slipped passed me. Or maybe I somehow blocked it out? I do remember being at lunch with a friend and fellow King fan when she asked me if I had heard the news yet about the accident (which had happened two days prior to this lunch). I remember my stomache dropping and my palms started to sweat. I couldn't finish my lunch. At that time it wasn't known how badly he had been hurt, so it really was a scary thing to go thru. Not as scary as what Steve and his family had to endure. I just remember being scared and feeling so bad for all of the Kings. Thank the Powers That Be that Steve is still here with us all and still able to churn out those books that we all so desperately love!!

Where was I ????

Hm..., oh that's right, I wasn't even born yet.



Kinda glad, other wise I would have been likely in some sort of comatose state of despair.

So you're under the age of 16??

Wow, thought you were older! Good for you!

I have complained in the past that I was born a decade too late (at least). I don't have any memories from my experiences in the Nineties (too young), yet I think I would have fit in nicely.

You fit in fine here and now.

Thankee ! I figured at first that putting my age of 15 out there may lead to me being ostracised a little bit, but I don't believe it will, people here are too nice.

Well, now that we know your age, we took a poll and we decided we don't like you anymore. Now get off the SKMB! JK! Just kidding!!!!!!!! We're glad that you're here. It gives us all hope that the joy of reading is still alive and well among the younger generations.
