As I chopped up black olives for our family taco dinner tonight, the reality that I'm not going to see any of my family or friends really hit me hard. There was so much planning and packing that kept my mind occupied for weeks and months. Tears are flowin...
Since being home and jobless, I've grown very "close" to my dogs--it's quite devastating that I have to leave them. Living in Columbia for 6 years, I obviously didn't see them all that much--in fact, during the 08-09 school year, I came home maybe 4 or 5 times. But I always knew I could see them if I wanted. :(
I'm also really concerned that something is going to happen to someone while I'm away--death, accident, just something bad. So everyone needs to be really careful so that I can stop worrying.
Two funny things happened to me yesterday: On the highway, some guy driving behind me was wearing a white mask (phantom of the opera-like) and staring at the ppl in the cars next to him. Before this, he was passing me, then letting me pass him--somewhere around 30 times--and staring at me--maskless. Freak.
Second thing, at the bar down the street last night, some 50+ woman was trashed and slipped and stumbled... totally face-planted in my brother's crotch. She braced herself with her hand...in my brother's crotch. We laughed. He felt violated, and rightfully so.
Leaving tomorrow morning--18 hr trip. The flight from San Francisco to Seoul is 13 hours--bring on the tylenol pm.
