  Half A Flower Petal

  Exciting news! I think I may be able to get away with not checking any bags! I must remember to buy contact solution once in Utah - that whole 3 oz liquid thing... I'm happy about this because even with the earliest train to the airport I'm cutting it very close. Now I might be able to check in online. Excellent.
  
  Also, I have a ZILLION books to read, which is great for planes because, with the noise of the engine, watching movies on my iPod is usually out of the question.
  
  These are the books I'm taking:
  
  The Late Bloomer's Revolution
  
  The Fourth Bear
  
  The Thief Lord
  
  The Thief
  
  The Supernaturalist
  
  There was a 3 for 2 sale on children's fantasy/sci-fi lit at Borders.

  It's An Illusion Done With Rubber Bands

  So much of the time - ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME - I really want to say "screw it all. I'm outta here," and just go do random things and not be all practical. But I am not as strong and independent as most people seem to think I am, and I just cannot chuck my safety net and go it alone. I so envy my brother, who is the only boy I know to have had a real soulmate kind of best friend. If I had a really good friend who was like, "Come on, let's go somewhere and just figure it out later," I would do it. In a second. Because a good friend is the strongest safety net.

  A Metaphorical Hug Around the Torso Area

  Posted: October 5th, 2007, 10:59am EDT by Rebecca

  I hate asking my friends for favors. I expect them to ask me - because we're friends and that's what friends do and I don't mind even a tiny bit - but then I always feel TREMENDOUSLY guilty asking for anything. Friends, reassure me that you don't mind doing me favors - that in fact you WANT to pick me up from the airport and drop everything and hang out with me when I'm in town, and that I shouldn't feel bad for asking.

  Stardate Something Something Who Knows

  I think I killed a butterfly yesterday. I was driving and I saw something falling, but I thought it was a leaf right up until it smacked into my windshield. Poor butterfly.
  
  I'm going to Utah tomorrow. I am GREATLY looking forward to a real vacation - away from here.
  
  Captain's log, day 5 as a vegetarian/cheating vegan. Soon I will begin to gnaw off my own leg. Just kidding. So far - no problem. I'm completely enjoying it.
