Push came to shove.
One of my favourite things in the whole world is when I get to talk on the phone with my brother. He hates the phone. Hates calling people, hates being called... hates speaking on it in general. So when we have conversations that last more than 5 minutes, especially when he is the one that calls me, they make me feel great. We generally have fun together anyway, but it's that much better because I know that he usually can't stand it. Today he called me to ask how the Obama rally was last night, and it was very sweet. I love him. I 'said goodbye' to him yesterday and was really upset... but I'm pretty sure I'll stick around for 2 more weeks until I have to be in Edinburgh for sure.
At this point I'm just waiting for my passport. Then I can book flights, then I can start to really prepare. I'm really bummed to miss out on Rach's hen night but I'll see her in October.
I'm now toying with the idea of the Mackinac reunion but need to find a ride up there. That shouldn't be hard. I also might need to sleep in the carriage tour stables cause I'm dirt ass broke. But it would definitely be worth the trip. I'd love to see everyone and the Island before I go. Deadline is Friday... will have to think it over before then.
I hope I can destress about the Scotland thing a little... now that I'm not waiting for an immediate and prompt answer I can plan a little better.
I read Franny and Zooey the other day and it's gotten me back into the reading swing. I was reading two very slow books before it and they just dragged me down. Life is too short to read boring or poorly written fiction.
I'm feeling ready to embrace the next step, whatever it may be. I've also toyed with the Atlanta idea... but it's not for me. Not right now. It's his big step, not mine. The propositions have been very tempting and very sweet, and I will miss him, but I am not at a place in my life where I'm ready to 'settle down' like that. I hate that phrase. I cringed to say it. But it's really appropriate for what we would be doing. There should be a better way of saying 'move in with someone in a life altering and permanent way' in my opinion.
This was really just to document my love of phone calls with brother... and it went in an entirely new direction. How about that.
