"If you could go anywhere right now
Where would you go
And would you miss me when you get there
There's no place that I would rather be
Please don't let me
Go falling from the sky
This fasten-seat-belt sign just needs to go out
If only you could be
Right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here"
- Takeoffs and Landings, The Ataris
I feel like that a lot when I'm on trips somewhere. Actually, I've felt like that on every single trip I've taken in the last, oh, two years or so. Maybe this is actually a perfectly normal way to feel, and my family is just extraordinarily bad company on vacation.
Or maybe I need to learn to deal with being incommunicado with friends for relatively short lengths of time.
Or, perhaps, I need to go on vacations with friends. Yay for third guesses! I like that one best.
