I need to get a map and put pins in it to signify every airport I've ever cried in. That map would be a whole lot of pins...

I think there also needs to be a mandatory rule that requires all women to die their hair that unintentional shade of purple...

Your airport thoughts kind of remind me of Hugh Grant's voiceover at the beginning of "Love Actually." Have you seen that? Cute movie!

I don't spend a lot of time at airports, but I often have the same thoughts while I'm sitting in the train station watching everyone come and go.

i haven't seen that movie- but i keep meaning to because it has such a good cast. one day it will happen.
i love train stations. my dad is a total trainhead. watching trains for him was like collecting baseball cards for a north american kid. (he's from england). i know the location of far too many train stations in england... i find train stations less sad than airports, but still have the excitement and fun factor.

i always wonder who all the people are and where they are going. i wonder if i would want to be their friends or if they would want to be friends with me.the summer that I graduated highschool, I took a trip to Chicago to visit a friend, and I went by bus (which was like, 13 hours). on one of my stopovers (I can't even remember where it was) I met this girl named Lainey in the bus terminal. she had a Rainbow Brite purse and I commented on it and we started talking and it turned out that she was travelling by herself too. so we talked for like an hour while we were waiting for our buses, and then we discovered that we were going to be taking the same bus! we were very excited, because travelling by yourself on a bus pretty much sucks. so we spent the last half of our trip just chilling out on the bus talking and at the end, she pulled this little swan patch off her backpack (she said it was her favourite) and gave it to me, and I gave her this little blue plastic lamb I had in my purse. I never spoke to her again, but I still ( ... )
