Goldfrapp. I remember borrowing her albums from the public library haha.

Me too, among many other things; I don't miss carrying around a stack of 15 books and 10 cds. They should've had shopping carts. But it's too late now. It's too late, refugee! *silently sobbing*

[Oh_no_she_DIDNT]

I am a crier. Like...using a mountain of tissues, smudged mascara, puppy dog face-crier.

I just saw my best friend off at the airport. She's going for a few years overseas to the UK...

I didn't realize how strong the airport atmosphere affects me. I was crying before I even got out of the car. Just being in such a place of transition...between happy family reunions and sad farewells. Between one land and the next, between a hug and a wave goodbye from a platform, in sight and then out of sight-gone beyond a sheet of terminal glass.

Ugh. I thought I'd be fine, because I am happy for her, she's going to have an amazing trip-but man. The tears hit like a waterfall.

@PerturbedPrufrock I hope you don't mind me piggybacking on your post. :)

I relate to your feelings about airports. I mean, I find airports kind of exciting/intense/emotional for all of the reasons you list. People coming and going, saying hello, saying goodbye. People watching is especially fun/interesting at airports. The emotional temperature of the place can be kind of high.

My first airport memory is from when I was young and my friend's family adopted a young baby boy from India (my now fully grown friend), and we all went there to meet him for the very first time. (which blows my mind when I think about it now)

And another memory comes to mind: I was picking my sister up at the airport.. she'd been on vacation with some of my friends, and while we were loading her stuff up into the car, I got to watch this movie-like scene play out in front of me: this girl gets off of a plane and runs to the car in front of us, drops all her bags and is embraced by this guy, and OH. MY. GOD. It was intense... I was so captivated and nosy...LOL. It was this passionate embrace... and long, passionate kiss.. and you could just tell they were dying to just hold each other and were really into each other or loved each other. My friend and I just watched from our car, jaw-dropped, and wide-eyed... and giggling... lol... it was like watching a movie, or chick flick..lol haha.



I wonder where that couple is now, 4 years later... or if they are still together... or married.. or have a baby... or who knows...

I hope your friend has a very safe trip, safe stay, and that the two of you can continue to be great friends to each other close or far. (One of my best friends left for Africa for a few years but has come back and we are as close as ever now.. :D)

Aw thanks, I'm sure she'll have a great time. I'm good now, I think. And don't worry, I love piggybacks!

I enjoyed reading your stories : ). I've never seen anything quite so intense as that there, but then again, I haven't really been to too many airports. I'd have probably stared too, I'm a sucker for happy reunions.

Sometimes I like to get under people's skins, shake things up a little.

now that i'm out of my stupor i can't be more mortified over this entire thing; if a bad idea had an exact human embodiment it'd definitely be you. too bad it's too late. just where the hell did my Ne go???

I so dislike getting stressed.. It makes me see the world in black and white spectrum. Transforms me as judgemental and angry person.

I'm killing time with answering questions on dating service (I'm not looking for a date, I'm just very bored). Then I got the question I should have never been asked.

Would you rather have your dream job or your soul mate for the rest of your life?
a) Dream Job
b) Soul Mate

I felt like crying. Still do.

Ya. Stress is okay and it really does usually bring out the worst in everyone. However maybe u make things black and white in order to get things done quickly, make a decision. But I guesss it depends on what kind of stress.

I'll be returning to university study in a few months' time and don't know if things will work out. I'm still somewhat scared, anxious -- and pretty much on edge after having to face major disappointments as well as alarming situations this year.

I still haven't resolved my past issues with some people and feel as though I'm running away from things. I don't have much faith in the future or myself. It feels as though just about everybody else I know (including my 'enemies') is moving ahead in life, while I'm still nursing grudges and lacking any sense of meaningful purpose or direction. It sucks :(

[orangesicle]

I don't know if I'll ever really love someone. I always find more and more characteristics I dislike about someone the more time I spend with them. Then, I start to dislike them and push them away. It always happens... I expect too much out of everyone, mostly myself.
