Off I go...

....

I'm going to give you a gratuitous amount of ellipses, just because I know you love them so much...

I am leaving in about half an hour on the long leg of international plane trips of my Azorean adventure. Meghan is super excited and I just don't share the same enthusiasm as her. I'm trying to get a little more psyched up, but it's really hard right now because my allergies are terrible and my eye is swollen and uncomfortable because of them. I think as soon as we hit that plane its Benadryl time! Woo! (...)

It is absolutely pouring rain and thundering and lightening here. I like it, but I hope it doesn't delay our flight any. Just what I need is a few extra hours in DIA with Meghan to make this trip #1! (...)

But I feel as if I'm being a pouty poop, like Mollie. Who pissed on me today as I was putting her in her carrier. She really showed me how much she did not want to go in it. But who got her in? The man of the family: Kaitlin. Meghan is such a pussy. It was even my first try getting her in...

So I have decided I am going to make a quick list of things I am happy about...

1. I can positive think.
2. I am getting away from Turtle Rock.
3. I am going to a place that I have never been before, that sounds like it is going to be very beautiful and serene.
4. I, apparently, am not vain. (I was worried.)
5. I bought some new books for the trip that I am excited to read.
6. My mom gave me 50 pounds to spend while we are laying over in London, so I can buy a shit load of booze, cigarettes, and designer perfume at the duty free.
7. I got to see Mollie. Even the fact that she peed on me makes me love her more. She is so unabashedly a bitch.
8. I GET TO SEE TOPAZ SOON!
9. My family can only make me feel bad if I let them, and I won't let them.
And very importantly...
10. You.

So there, I have ten very good things to feel good about. I feel better already. I am going to miss out talking to you the next few days, and I will figure out how this is going to work out right when I get there. I get there at night sometime, so I don't think we will have any big plans besides going to bed.
And I'm just to going to warn you in advance. If I seem a bit reserved or colder while talking to you while I'm there, that just means my mom or sister is amuck. I know it is kind of cowardly, but the best way for me to deal with them and their attacks on me is to give them as little ammunition as possible. It is in no way a reflection on you.
I hope you always know that no matter what I love very, very much and I can't wait until we can spend real time alone together for reals. None of this webcam shit.

So, here I go. I will be thinking about you tons. If your nose itches, then you'll know for sure.

I love you.
