Honey, I'm home. Yesterday morning I awoke in California but went to bed in Carolina. The wonders of modern day travel. Maybe I should become a stewardess. I can see it now, "Welcome aboard Frontier Airlines. Flight 436 from San Francisco to Denver. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt, and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask,and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more." Ahh, well maybe not. I did spend most of the day in a plane or at the airport. Everyone knows that airports are some of the best place to people watch (a favorite passtime of mine). On both of my flights, there were girls my age with infectious smiles. They would rush right off the plane, out of the gate, and into some loved one's arms. It kind of made me a bit jealous as I walked sullenly back with the other travellers with no one to greet them. I started singing the Beatle's "All the Lonely People" (it was them singing in my mind not Joan Baez rendition of the song). But it was entirely sad because my family was waiting for me at the baggage claim. *YaY* So, I spent a lovely 3 hours with them in the van ride home from Atlanta. Oh its so good to be home. Plus, a representative is needed from NC on this list since the last 2 vagabonds were seduced by the lure of money and hightailed it to DC. Didn't JFk say something to the effect that DC is a town with southern efficiency and northern hospitality? Can anyone there verify this statement? I do think that I'd rather drive cross country than fly though. And it would have taken me through the recently released from the nursery ward Josh Baze's Kansas City. I had never heard any part of the midwest called one of the "most beautiful places." In fact, I was with one of my friends a while back and we were looking at a beautiful view over a city. He said, "Just goes to show that there is beauty everywhere. Well, except for the midwest." Hey don't look at me that way, Josh. I didn't say it. I am oh so happy that the art girl is back - and more bitter than ever. I too was beginning to have post withdrawals but now I'm happy to know that she's wreaking havoc on her bike somewhere in Arizona. As they say, "Hell hath no fury as that of a scorned woman." Well, last time I was in Arizona it was hotter than hell so maybe its the place for you to be, LJ. Ok, I'll stop saying not nice things about other people's home. Bad me. Bad me. This is the earth. And this is Laura. You can tell the difference quite easily. One is a lump of inert matter hurtling blindly through the void. The other is - the earth. Oh! Today I listened to all of Tigermilk for the first time today (thanks to my imaginary friend Eric). To think of what I had been missin'! I LOVE it! Especially the second and third song - though I don't know the names of the song yet. Yay - I adore new music. Ok, enough rambling. Down to the whole reason I am writing this post anyway - The Crush List (doesn't it sound like we're in the mafia or something. To the mattresses!). Is there a set of rules somewhere that I missed? I figure that I'm not suppose to vote for a person more than once (well unless I just find them irrestibly charming and cute than I just lose self control. sorry) but is it 'bad' to vote for more than one person? I mean, hello, look at all the great people we have on this list - no one can just like just one! Can sell my crush vote? Should I make a cardboard sign reading, "Will vote for music"? I had some other questions but now I can't think of them. Oh well. What a lousy post. Sorry. *quickly regaining her accent* Laura 'meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977' ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
