“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We're afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We will fall!”
“Come to the edge.”
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.

Guillaume Apollinaire, 1880-1918

It's all happening. I checked out airfares the other day and the excitement of travelling has returned. I am in the process of applying for my British passport and there is a minor hiccup which I need to overcome. After that I'll have a Brit. passport in my hot little hands, my gateway to all of Europe.

I have been surfing some travel forums lately and I have to say I'm more than a little worried after reading numerous experiences of the negative kind with US Immigration officials. Being interrogated, verbally abused, intimidated, locked away and in some cases deported - not my idea of a great time. I know the world is a different place after 9/11 but that doesn't mean courtesy and decency has to disappear down the drain. I should be perfectly fine with an ongoing ticket to Canada, but you can never know. Maybe I'll fit some computer profile for some drug trafficker from Norway and wont even get to set foot on North American soil...it's a worry.

I haven't seen Donovan for a little while and I'm kind of...worried. I know I don't want anything serious with him but I have developed some kind of feelings for him over the past couple of weeks. If he's decided he doesn't want to pursue anything, it'll be for the best. It wont be fun leaving someone I've grown attached to...
