[16 Dec 2009|12:07am] bumpercar_blues Sometimes I wish I had the courage to act out what I think about in my mind. There were huge doubts in my mind that he would actually make it to the airport before I had to get through security in order to catch my flight. The increasingly depressing feeling that he would end up texting me saying he wouldn't be able to make it on time had enveloped me. But, he came. We talked a bit, he cracked jokes and made me wish I were staying just a bit longer. When the time came for me to head back into the line to go through security, we only hugged good-bye. It was the longest hug out of the three total. I had the thought but not the guts to kiss him. Why not? Sure, he has a girlfriend but he had expressed the feelings of iffyness involved with that. I just need a warm body right now. You're staring me down, a glance makes me weak

[14 Dec 2009|06:49pm] bumpercar_blues I've lived in SC on two separate occasions; once for six months and the other for a year. I've known that Bill Murray does, indeed, live in the Charleston area as well as owning the local baseball team, the River Dogs. Since knowing I've hoped to have met him, even found out where he ate on certain nights so I could have planned a convenient run-in. But I didn't. My stepdad had informed me about a week or so ago that he was on the same flight as Bill Murray! I thought that was awesome, and was a tid jealous about it as well. Today, my stepdad took me to the airport. He pulled up to the arrivals/departures area to let me out, and I just turned to the window to begin my exit when none other than Bill Murray walks by the car. I whip my head back to face Gene and say, "Oh my god, it's Bill Murray!" He tells me to go say hi and that he'll get my bags for me. So I do. I follow Mr. Murray as he's walking down the sidewalk, until reaching a cart. He places his bag on it and starts rummaging through it. I walk over, hesitant, and say, "Hey Bill Murray." in a bit of a questioning tone. Without looking he's like, "Hello." as if he's reassuring me that he is, indeed, the one and only. He apologizes for being distracted but he's looking for his boarding pass. Then stretches his hand over towards me to shake my hand! We shook hands! He has his license in his mouth until he finds his ticket, and starts to chat with me. We walk towards the doors to go inside and he asks me what I'm heading back for and I say school. He asks me what I'm studying, and I say "Linguistics" and he makes this noise like "Wha-huh?" so I repeat, and he does the same again...so I get he was poking fun at me. He told me to study hard and yeah. It was just amazing :) I'm still in Charleston. I'll be seeing Monsieur Niege one more time tonight. Travis is coming in at midnight so I may go see him as well! I'm so excited! I made the right choice by not taking that 4:08 flight back to Buffalo tonight! The half-marathon was a blast. I beat my previous half's time by 15mins! I came in at 2:08:01. 9:46pace. With only 20-day notice, and 5-days of actual training/running. I did amazing. :) Life is fantastic! You're staring me down, a glance makes me weak
