I noticed today, for the first time, that you can see the trains through the trees if you look carefully

Hi!

[alpha_incipiens]

Hi, back!

Our old journals used to be friends, so I thought our new ones should play, too.

Unless I'm really confused and you're not who I think you were. In that case, hi, anyway.

I'm who you think I am. I'm not on here much anymore, but it's good to see you!

When I lived with my parents in Orange Park, you couldn't hear trains at all unless you paid really close attention, and you'd only hear the faintest of sounds very late at night in the middle of winter. But airplanes? Those obnoxious hunks of metal were loud and clear all year round.

I don't know why I love the sound of trains so much, because I certainly didn't grow up around them. But when I hear them here, they always relax me. Trains sound lazy and sexy.

Lazy and sexy? Puppet Freud thinks you just like the train going into the tunnel, Tara.

Airplanes just aren't the same. When I get all crazy in my head, I think they're aliens, or else after me, and I get all freaked out. No one chases people in a train. You just have to worry about people running on the top of the trains.

your house is really nice.

and the fact that you can enjoy trains without the whistles is even better.

But, Bill...

The whistles go "WHOOOO! WHOOOO!"

hullo! i'm glad you like your house. *mwah*

[alpha_incipiens]

Hi, sweetie. I'm glad I like my house, too. This one finally feels like home - and you didn't even have to help us move this time.

Sorry 'bout all the drama over there on the West Coast. You can always come back here and drink the cheap wine in our backyard.

I grew up in a house a bit away from the tracks. At dawn, you'd hear the big passenger train heading past, and get up to watch the windows shooting by, very exotic and fantasy-inspiring.

I have the incredibly romantic view of trains, which I preserve by never actually travelling via rail. The noises of the passenger trains are so different from the freight trains, but I don't think I can say which I like best.
