Off to Ireland
Oct. 16th, 2012 11:15 pmWho's starting a new knitting project and looking up whether scissors are allowed in carry-on luggage (if the blades are under four inches, apparently so!) instead of getting some much needed sleep?
Oh, right. This dummy right here.
I'm leaving in the morning to go see my lover. Well, I'm going to the airport in the morning, at least. It'll be late afternoon before I get there because such is the way of the world and long distance relationships. I probably could have said that less wistfully, but I'm not going to change it because it seems to fit somehow. From there, we'll hop to Colorado then New Jersey then across the pond for some fancy Irish business at the Four Seasons and then a flippin' castle. OMG as the kids say... or probably not since I have no idea what kids say these days.
Kind of insane, really. It'll be a lot of fun, but I think it's only now really starting to sink in that I get to leave for a while. This always happens. I get all worked up by the details; then suddenly when it's time to go, I get an idea what's actually going on. Probably better that way. Today was long enough without constantly dreaming of green hills and hotel rooms, but I digress. All this waiting, and it'll still go by so quickly.
Kind of related but really not, I don't know if any of you watch Adventure Time (again, being a program for children and all), but it's pretty excellent. Every once in a while, they have episodes and songs that punch you right in the gut. Last night's episode had a pretty good example. You don't even really need to know the context or any of the characters in the show to understand this song, I think. (I also don't know who's covering it, but it's a pretty good version anyway.) Just straightforward and a little devastating.
Anyway, goodnight. Hope you have a good next ten days. I'm hoping I do too.
