Jesus, Kat, that's insane.
I am not my brother; he loves driving. It's just a part of my day. Sometimes it is even fun.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
What in the world, Kat? That bites.
I love flying. I love driving. I love transport of pretty much all kinds. I like the idleness, watching the world fly past my windows. I like the sense of anticipation, destination, departure, arrival.
I like transitional spaces in general. Being in my van isn't being anywhere, it's just going. And sometimes I like going better than getting there.

I also like the deep conversations that it seems isn't possible to have outside of really long road trips where you've been on the highway for so long and you're road-weary and bored and you've already talked about all the normal things you can.
Then you're somehow allowed to talk about other, more esoteric things. More personal things. I love that.

I have big control issues, and yet I'm fine with flying. And driving.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. When I was in high school, most of my really intense conversations with friends and my GF took place while driving.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That sucks, Kat. I'm so sorry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Some people do. Other people do not care for amusement park rides precisely because they don't consider it fun to be jostled about in a metal container. IJS.
fair point

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
"Happy animal fear that the sun will never come up again and attempts to propitiate the gods to make it warmer!"
That's what I say to everyone.
That or "Happy Let's Kill Something to Make the Sun Come Up! Don't eat the bean!"

Being in my van isn't being anywhere, it's just going. And sometimes I like going better than getting there.
Oh! That's what that is. Yes.
I also like the deep conversations that it seems isn't possible to have outside of really long road trips where you've been on the highway for so long and you're road-weary and bored and you've already talked about all the normal things you can.
That's one of those things I've always heard of but never really experienced.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That's totally fucking outrageous, Kat. Six weeks is an outrageously small amount of time in the first place; and, in the second place -- just, fuck them. The district wasn't the one in a postpartum haze with critically ill infants and a stress level constantly rocketing back and forth between insane and unbearable. If they couldn't either get it right the first time or catch any errors before they and you were $4000 in, they ought to just suck it up and write it off.
I'm sure they won't, but, for God's sake, they bloody well ought to. That's just fucked.
