To being spontaneous
WELL, my weekend hasn't really been going the way I originally expected. And by that I mean, I really didn't expect to be sleeping in the Dublin airport at any point this weekend. And yet here I am. It's 6:30 in the morning. I snuck into a closed restaurant to sleep in their comfy benches and they threw me out at four am. Which I kind of expected but I was having this awesome dream about woolly mammoths made out of clouds. I might be slightly delirious but Gabe is FINALLY going to be here in less than three hours. This has been an ordeal. Like I said, he was supposed to leave JFK at 9pm Saturday night and get into Shannon airport yesterday morning. But he couldn't because of the weather and his flight got changed to be leaving JFK at 9pm LAST night and getting in this morning to DUBLIN. This felt like the world's largest disaster until a very nice lady who works for Delta changed his return flight so that he can stay a couple of extra days. At this point, every once and a while I think about what's going on... how he was stranded in JFK for 24 hours with no clothes other than his Doctor Who outfit... how I've been in the Dublin airport for ten hours already for no real discernible reason... suddenly I'm laughing at how absurd this whole situation is. I'm stealing this internet connection from a bus company. His flight is delayed a little but it's still supposed to come in at 9:15. I hope we make the 10:20 bus because I am pretty seriously sick of this airport. To be honest I am ~not really sure~ why I am blogging about this but it's something to do. I am very excited but at this point, everything just seems nuts. Like, I logically know he's going to be here in like three hours because it says so on the little arrival screen, but my life has become so completely crazy in the past 36 hours or so that it barely makes sense in my brain. But if anyone is reading this who knew I was going to sleep in the airport, everything went better than expected I guess. And if you didn't know that, well, now you know and you can rest assured that everything went fine unbeknownst to you at the time. Spontaneity! Adventure! Backpacking! These are the buzzwords for my life right now apparently.
