Over Stimulated

I have this strange experience every time I fly now. Whether it's a little float plane or a big jet plane.

Sigh, yeah.....when the plane starts to take off - I cry.

It's not like blubbering tears or anything, I just get super teary and then it passes.

So anyway....the plane lands in Vancouver and I begin:


"Holy shit that's new?!"

"Woah, that rain drop is SUPER cool!!"

"A lego whale?!"

"Where did THAT building come from?"


Totally over stimulated and I haven't gotten off the plane yet. I guess I've been living away from Vancouver long enough that it seems super busy and crazy when I go back.


One of the meetings I flew in for was cancelled (??) so I dropped in to visit Rawbean and my old work mate R. for the rest of the afternoon. Flew back to Victoria on the last flight of the day. I love 'work days' like that, don't you?

Sounds like you had a nice Vancouver day.

I kind of go crazy like you do when I visit my sleepy hometown. It's more like "whoa! a new stop sign" and little things like that. It's more like stimulation in reverse, I guess.

Yes, Victoria and Vancouver are two entirely different entities. I feel overstimulated in Vancouver as well-- I can only handle it in small doses! :)

Sounds like a perfect 'work day', though. Especially after everything you've been through lately!
