Go figure the first time in a long long time that I actually write something substantial in this thing is when I’m on an airplane headed to Los Angeles for two weeks.
So it just kind of hit me that I’m going to be in Los Angeles in an hour. I’m on the plane right now.
Jade and I have been freaking out about this for at least two months (we’ve only known each other for less than four, by the way) and today I’ve been pretty busy so I havent really had a chance to think about what the hell is about to go down.
I’m excited. For Warped, to see Jade, to meet Jade’s friends, just to be in California in general. I enjoy California. Actually I enjoy being outside of Portland Oregon. Don’t get me wrong, I love Portland and living there, and I’ll probably never move outside of the general area...but I love seeing new places and being somewhere that isn’t my home for awhile.
It also just kind of hit me that I’ll be within a half hour of Craig. Granted, I don’t think I’ll be seeing him until next time I go down to California on the 25th of July...but it still just kind of freaks me out/makes me very excited. I’m on that upward spiral again. That’s a good way to put my crush on him. It’s a spiral...like a slinky. Up and down and all over the place. One minute I can be thinking about nothing but him, the next minute I’m pissed off at him. Right now (10:28 pm) I’m just excited to see his smile and hear his laugh again. It sounds cliche but I really really love seeing his smile and hearing his voice.
Listening to “Bruised” by Jacks Mannequin. Seems fitting.
35 minutes left on my computer battery. Something like 60 minutes until we land. Looks like I’ll be starting that new book I got.
This is definitely my last “hurrah” as a kid. I mean..I’ll always be a kid...but after August 6th I’m in adult mode. Going to have to get my shit together and actually start caring about whether or not I have any hours at work or not (mom has made it VERY clear that if I don’t start paying rent on August 15th, I’m going to have to find somewhere else to live),
This plane is all I’ve got, so keep it steady now.
“The Funeral” by Band of Horses is also good plane flying music. (With no internet, and having already played my share of solitare and Click Five videos, I’m really trying to write as much as possible right now).
I wonder where I am right now. Maybe over southern Oregon? Northern California? I wish the guy I’m sitting next to didn’t steal my window seat so I could see everything down below in the dark and take some obligatory airplane photos.
Well, it’s been good times, WordPerfect document (P.S. I’m SO installing windows office when I get home. Word > WordPerfect), but I think I’m going to fold up the ol laptop and start digging into my new book.
