Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hmph. I figured out that the high-pitched sound in my living room was coming from my lamp when I turned it off, but now it won't go back on.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Can I get a sanity check? My sister has almost talked me into flying. Which should I do: 26 hours on the road, arrive probably tired and cranky after spending 6 hours in a cheap motel in Virginia; or, $580 to fly?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Fly. I hate driving long distances and will put up with the crap and expense of flying if I don't have to drive.

Do you have the $600?

Yes, I have it, I just hate to spend money. But I'd really like to sleep in my own bed tonight. *whimper*

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dude, this. My perfect road-trip length is "how close is the nearest airport".

Do it do it!!

Done! Money spent.

Now I'm nervous. I hate flying. Not the flying part. The getting to the airport on time, will the cab be late again, did I forget something important, usual anxiety crap. Also, now? That caffeine I just slammed wasn't a good idea.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'd fly, given that distance. You can't do AirTran from where you are? That might be a cheaper alternative.

AirTran is what I did. Cheapest I could find, at this late hour. Spontaneity has its price. (About $1100, in fact.)
