hey darlin. I have definitely seen posts from both

zoetrope and

bexless in case that helps.

*hugs you*

I've seen posts from

oxoniensis, too.

oxoniesis has checked in and apparently is OK. She has a post up for today that is a link to the news reports.

good luck! stay safe, darlin'!
hint -- now is a time to start drinking. all of my friends in london are on a pub crawl home, with brief stops to give blood.

I'm not in London but my cousin is... We've heard nothing off her and she hasn't got her mobile on.

Just remember: They can bomb us but they can't beat us. British spirit and that, eh?

*offers you tea... Or alcohol*

thanks, zarah. :)

I'm so sorry, sweetie. I hope everyone is safe and sound.

::hugs::

::hugs you::

Oh, honey. *big big hugs*

I'm glad you're ok. I'm sure you've seen it by now, but there's a list for lj check-in here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/london_070705/2794.html.

I didn't even realize you were in London.

*hugs*

My god-mother's in London, and takes the tube to King's Cross every morning for work, and her husband's not heard from her yet, and she's not picking up her cell phone, and this is possibly where I begin to panick a little bit. I hope all of the people you care about are safe.

Checking in. I'm fine, and was actually probably one of the last to know what was going on!

I know you miss your city but today I'm very glad you're not there.

*hugs*

Your post is an eerie reminder of September 11, when people I scarcely knew, from the internet and various fandoms, all emailed me to find out if I was all right, because they knew I lived in Manhattan. My heart goes out to you, all of you, your friends, your families, and also the strangers neither you nor I nor those terrorists ever knew, the people who died or were injured today. There may be plans behind these terrible acts, but there is no sense, and no humanity. It's easy for me to believe that these so-called "religious" fanatics are not religious at all, but soulless, godless, and less than human.

You don't really know me - except perhaps as your pedantic occasional commentator - but as someone who saw today's events unfold from that first agency flash at 9 ish saying there was an explosion at Liverpool Street, later attributed to a power surge, etc... to the first inklings that perhaps that wasn't just another demonstration of the crapness of London Underground but that yes, it might be a terrorist attack (which pretty much happened when the reports about the bus came in) I appreciate your support to us in the city... It's been a mad, intense, hectic day, and I - we, the whole of London frankly - am still coming to terms with what the fuck actually happened. And counting my blessings - all friends and family accounted for, and I think all colleagues, although things might still develop.

Tough city, though. We'll recover. And it's not like we haven't been waiting for this since 9/11, and then Madrid. Still - tonight we're licking our wounds.

elynrae was checked in via

mistful (I think), on the Roll Call">. (http://www.livejournal.com/community/london_070705/72657.html)

Sorry bout the delay, but checking in now.

Thankfully no-one I know is involved, although had it been during term-time it would probbably have been a different story.

But thank you very much for your concern!

*hugs* I hope everybody is okay, and you'll find your friends soon. <3

*hugs you*
