up up and away

[chris_o_donnell]

Call me crazy, but sitting in an airplane on takeoff never fails to remind me of my own mortality. A thin metal shell and some plexiglass is all that stands between me and and the last few exhilirating moments of my life. I've heard that, knowing that one will die at impact with the ground when falling from extreme height, usually the fallee will

Airplanes always freak me out too. Hope that you have and safe trip out to Toronto. It seems like everyone is going to Canada right now. Anyway have fun.
Kisses

I'm probably just being dramatic. I don't really mind flying so much...

It's the falling that will kill you! Ba dum bum

But yeah, it really makes you think about all the people that risk their lives every day in these things.

I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up before you left. I really wish we had... I miss you. More than I'm wanting to let myself accept.

I'm sorry that things are rough for you right now, but at the risk of sounding trite, is there anything I can do? I mean anything, so just name it and you got it.

[chris_o_donnell]

I know Sandy. Like you said before, we probably both could use a little space. Things got...confused, and it sucks that our friendship had to suffer because of it.

I'll call you when I get settled in at my hotel, and we can talk a bit. That would help a lot.

[sandra__bullock]

Yes, it does suck that our friendship had to suffer, but I guess if we can get through this we can get through anything, right?

I'll look forward to the call.

I'm not irritated with you, I'm confused and frustrated with the situation.

I told you I wanted you to call me on my bullshit and you did. I think it's good that we can get frustrated with other and express and still be sort of okay.

I think I might have a "solution", I don't know what you'll think of it. But we should talk about it. You know I flew to London for a birthday party, I think I could manage a day or two in Toronto if I needed to. I'm not going to invite myself... but I'm willing to do a lot to try to get things settled.

Cheer up, Mr. O'Donnell. Remember you are loved.

[chris_o_donnell]

I was always told that you can tell the good ones because they're the ones that stick around after they've seen you at they're worst. I think that's really true.

Have fun in London, don't do anything I wouldn't fantasize about...

I definitely want you here. I'll call you soon and make arrangements.

Coming from you, the day seems brighter already.

[drew_barrymore]

I think so too. I don't plan on going anywhere.

I'm almost ready to leave again. It's crazy this was just a whirlwind trip. I snuggled with Niko, lounged around the hotel room in a big t-shirt, went to a party where I drank almost nothing and smoked too much. Did you fantasize about all of that?

Okay.

I'm glad.

On a lighter note...

This post made me think of a quote from "Sixteen Candles"

"...and pink TransAm in the driveway with a ribbon around it…and some incredibly gorgeous guy that you meet like in France, and you could do it on a cloud without getting pregnant or herpes."

"I don’t need the cloud."

"Just a pink TransAm and a guy right?"

"A black one."

"A black guy?"

"A black TransAm, a pink guy."

Speaking of clouds and cloud related things, I wonder if you could guess what song I have on right now.

[chris_o_donnell]

I love that movie. Seriously.

Would that song start with an 'A'?

That Nurse icon kills me.

[drew_barrymore]

I do too, I love all those 80's John Hughes films.

It would, indeed.

What do you think of this one? It's a little dark but I wanted to capture the whole "theme".

[luke_wilson]

It sounds like you're being too hard on yourself about a lot of things. It's easy to focus on all the bad but often there are just as many positive things to take into consideration.

It's never easy to end things, even if they've come to their natural conclusion. Beginning things can be even more difficult because there is so much unknown. I trust that life will never give us more at one time than we can handle if it looks that way I usually find that I've overlooked something obvious that could have helped me out.

[chris_o_donnell]

Thanks Luke. I probably am taking things wrong, but it's kind of par for the course right now. At least I can see it, and eventually I can try to do something about it.

I think I'm content to be a little melancholy right now.

Ending things and starting things are really hard, you're right. But starting things before another thing has really ended? That's a killer.

Maybe that missing thing will make itself obvious to me soon.
