Fun Zone! Have you tried this?

This was at the fun zone on the newport pennisula where i grew up, and was on a big family outing with my 'blended family' (i have lots of great step siblings..) and we were waiting for our table to have dinner milling about....I grew up jumping on trampolines (we had one in our back yard where all the neighborhood kids would come around and play for hours) but i'd never been on a contraption that safely allowed you to get air that high. the harness was too big for me so i'm wearing some strangers sweatshirt stuffed in the harness too (it also kept my dress from flying up and showing my underwear) 

Anyway, so i tried to get other members of my family to do it. the guy managing the trampoline throws you into back flips and front flips if you are game, and honestly, i've never gotten that much air in my life. and the expression on my face is the terror of letting someone else control how high you get as i was always used to getting the height under my own power, so i'm trying to surrender here, relax here...but i'm not quite there yet as you see on the expression on my face.

I might be one of those rare people who actually loves airports.

I might be one of those rare people who actually loves airports. As in loves. There's something about being among my fellow travelers and enjoying what crazy neurotic traveling get-up they might have planned -- the buckwheat hulled neck pillow, the cheesy spy novel tumbling out of their bag, the over-priced eyemask, not to mention the opportunity to guess their destination. i also just enjoy the flying itself, getting put next to some unexpected person. As I believe we are all just one conversation away at any moment from meeting the most incredible person with their own unique set of stories. And flying has that strange luxury that you can ask wildly inappropriate and personal questions as there's this understanding that you are likely to never see that person again. So seat-mates can be particularly candid, particularly raw, particularly unedited. 

And then you have the added bonus of arriving at that new destination. My favorite is places are those I've never been, and I have a bias toward less developed wilder country. Perhaps because it matches my sense of my own interior, the unkempt nature that lives inside my own head. And that new destination might be a reflection externally of what I feel inside myself, making me feel in the words of david shields (taken from someone else I think) "a little less freakish, a little less lonely..." something like that.

If they would make a movie about your life, what do you think they would call it and who would play you?

Oh, geez. I'd rather know, what would they call the movie of YOUR life, and who would PLAY you? My movie would have to be someone where the actor felt like what I've read when someone described  d.h. lawrence. i think (was it d.h. lawrence, mr. shields?) where it felt like the actor was without skin, just a walking jumble of exposed raw nerve endings. That's how it often feels inside me a fair amount of the time. I don't know what they'd call it. I hope something sort of funny in a sexy sort of painfully embarrassing way....
