Where the streets are paved with gold...
Wow, I really have been away for a while. I'd forgotten how -clean- San Francisco is. ;)
I think the lady on the flight next to me on the way there was about to go postal. See, I have this tendency to fidget when I'm confined in a small space for any length of time, and... well, I was bouncing my leg up and down a lot, and not even really realizing it until she shot me the -dirtiest- look. Uh. Oops?
Longest six hours of my life.
Man.
I'm glad I went, though - even if Kory didn't really quite get why, I think she understood, for the most part. Knowing she doesn't resent or regret our relationship, and more importantly how it ended, means I can stop beating myself up over it. It felt good to have closure... and good to know she's finally marrying someone she -truly- loves.
She has such amazing strength. If I had just a quarter of the strength she does, knowing what she's been through, seeing her own homeworld destroyed, all that Raven did... I admire and respect her so much. As a friend and as a teammate.
And... as someone I once loved.
For my part? I'm relieved to be back ('back' being relative - I've sorta stopped by the Clocktower for a while...) - because I've really, -really- missed my fiancée - the first woman to make my heart truly sing. I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to figure out that it wasn't simply rampant teenage hormones. (grins)
Hey there, Babs. Miss me? ;)
