hullo!
i don't know where to begin...so i'll go back to the beginning.
the plane ride over was...an experience...15 hours in the same seat i know people have done worse, but i wanted to kill myself (bow wow was on out flight) a little side point, lol. well, due to all of my down time i finally finished ONE of my books, which is the size of a childrens novel and still took me 500 years to complete....so it was quite a moment of victory on my part! but it was also the only time in which i wrote in my notebook (other than 58 pages of notes from the convention, not an overexaggeration) so i'll just write what i wrote...or an edited version ;)
I've been trying to put off starting this trip, starting this sentance, starting this song (Transatlantism - death cab for cutie)
this trip - i don't feel like i should be here, having this priviledge.
this sentance - maybe it has to do with nostalgia. maybe this particular notebook has too many memories and opening it would be the equivalence to unleashing a pandoras box of emotions. besides i knew one sentance will never stop at one ssentance.
this song - I always have to rumage through many old playlists, playlists that should have probably been deleted but I never got around to that task, I've been thinking of listening to this song in this very chair on this very flight for days. the only plan i've had for this whole "adventure." i thought it appropriate as it is my first trek across 'the pond.' even though its night time at sea and you can barely make out a perimeter of the wing i can tell it's beautiful outside. I keep reminsing about star gazing in the Pacific, on the Galapagos trip. I'm looking forward to that when i'm in 'the bush' of South Africa. My eyes are starting to burn and I have to take my Malarone.
i still feel a connection...i hope it'll be interuppted.

Hi Bianca,
ReplyDeleteI take it you are back safely in Florida. Good.
Interrupted connections can be nice. I look forward to the epic continuation.
Best regards,
Stephan
hey stephan
ReplyDeleteno not back yet...but i leave tomorrow (technically thursday morning) wanna come visit me in S. Africa?? ;)
i just got a chance to review my last post...there's so many grammatical errors and the editing made some parts unclear and almost enigmatic. sorry, i was in a bit of a rush.
anyways i think it's a good sign of my composition potentetial :) okay enough egotistical banter. see ya!
Well Bianca,
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to visit you, but I'm afraid my concord jet is on the fritz. I would go ahead and use my spare, but I loaned it cancer-researchers. No idea what they need a concord jet for. I should probably manage my millions a bit more responsibly.
There were so many mistakes that I thought it might be intentional- a matter of style... but that's alright. I'm not angry or anything. :P
I felt like I was with you for a moment there and it made me excited and melancholy at the same time. I have some not-so-great news. You get back late Thursday night, I have a flight at 2 pm to Bloomington the next day. This is hardly enough time to catch up. I get back the 24th so you are going to have to try to harness your excitement to retell all the stories you have already been telling for 6 days. I would love to do an early lunch friday, but understand you will be dead tired (I guess that's a hypothetical invitation? I'm not sure). Sigh. I love and miss you.
