(no subject)

I kind of wish I had anything intelligent to say about the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall, any meaningful memories to share, because I certainly was old enough to have them, but to be perfectly honest, my mind comes up embarrassingly blank. What I do remember rather vividly is reading about Ceausescu's death, I guess because my best friend at the time was from Romania.

Strangely enough it's the time before that I have stronger memories of. I remember reading Level 7 early in middle school and being scared. I remember my great aunt talking to me about neutron bombs. I remember a time when this song was relevant.
