I think it's safe to say 9/11 was the wowworstdayever.

The biggest non-trauma-inducing event was probably me moving to LA in 2004. It was the first time I lived somewhere without one foot out the door or an itchy, restless urge to move on. I had never as an adult quit a job or left and apartment without going all the way cross-country, but almost as soon as I got here I knew I could finally settle down and stop looking for somewhere else.
