I can’t. Not today.

Yeah, so, I can’t.

There are no words.

I just can’t talk/write/think about the shooting in Connecticut. I have been crying in my cube all morning. My coworkers hate me.

I used to work in a newsroom. I had really thick skin when it came to tragedies. Now, not so much. Now I’m the girl who cries in her cube. I’m so glad I don’t work in a newsroom anymore. I don’t think my heart could take it.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people?!

Children depend on us to protect them. We failed those children. I can’t stop thinking about how scared they must have been. My heart breaks for their families. What a fuckin’ nightmare.

I have an overwhelming need to leave work, pick up my son and never stop hugging him.

There are several petitions floating around about gun control. I urge you to sign one. I also urge you to hug your kids and loved ones.

[Update: Thank you, The Onion, for this. This just about sums it up.]

The Sonia Show is about a girl who likes to write, eat, drink, talk smack, shop, laugh and make other people laugh, feed her unhealthy obsession with pop culture, mock motherhood, do yoga, wear orange and root for the San Francisco Giants, talk about TV, listen in on strangers' conversations, make nerdy “Star Wars” and “Simpsons” references, add things to her ever-expanding Shit List, and post personal things about herself on the web for all to read, which makes her some sort of literary exhibitionist.
