It's beautiful. I can't believe we're up here. It's actually getting down which is going to be the interesting part.

I should write a h/c story about either Jamie or Roy dealing with a fear of flying and maybe that would heal me

#roy x jamie #fear of flying #royjamie prompts #royjamie #I think it would be cute if Jamie was the one with anxiety but my rational brain knows it would be Roy #and we already have one canon instance of Jamie referencing being a prick on a plane #and you can't really do all that when you're having a panic attack #jamie tartt

Funny how being stranded together can do that to you

9/2/1990. 11:35pm

Home, Thank God.

So tired. I swear that flight scared me. As the trucker  from the flight said on our drive back, as our plane landed in San Jose, the left wing dipped and we aborted a bit—but then—tried again and we were home.

God I was scared of falling on the flight.  That sickening feeling of death.

But, I was strongly influenced by the movie “Flatliners” that Zoe and I saw in San Diego today. The movie upset us both deeply. After words, Zoe said “I need to be alone.”

The movie screamed out “forgive, listen and understand NOW!   While it’s not too late! Don’t wait for death to forgive yourself and others—to make atonement.

For a bump from a flight that I did not want to take , I got paid $300.00. We all did in our two vans.

Good company. Full moon trip, $300 trip ticket for free, and what’s best, avoiding the horror of a bumpy late afternoon commuter flight from San Jose to Modesto. I was dreading it.

The trucker from the flight was in the same van that I was in.

The trucker’s son is on 10 minute alert at Camp Pendleton and has been for 3 weeks. The trucker is scared for his son. The son says “It’s what I’m trained for, Dad.”

The trucker said diesel gas prices are now $1.53 a gallon. Costs $300 to fill his truck which will take him 900-1000 miles. He hauls hazardous materials. He said “Diesel runs in my veins. I love it” His friend in college wanted to be a public defender. “You like it, don’t you?” He asked me. I replied “Yes, but you gotta be a special kind of person. You gotta know how to take care of yourself It runs in my veins."

Also on board are the trucker’s wife, spiritual advisor and a  history major out of Oregon who had long, red hair.

We got along so well that the van driver thought that we were old friends.

We commented that if we were on a plane, we would not speak to each other.

But, thrown awkwardly into a van, we were for the length of the journey equals and comrade in arms. Funny how being stranded  together can do that to you. Funny. People really are good. Just takes the right circumstances to bring them out.

Note:

In the above entry ,I had been visiting my sister Zoe in San Diego. I took a flight from San Diego to San Jose. Apparently there was supposed to be a connecting flight from San Jose to Modesto. But, it must have been over booked, so, so some of us got a van ride and free airfare instead.

Interesting that Zoe and I watched Flatliners then. It is a movie about what happens to you after you die.

Before Zoe did die last May she had ordered two movies on DVD about life after death which she never got to watch. Maybe it's because she watched Flatliners in 1990 and she didn't need to see the others just before she died.

"Until women started writing books there was only one side of the story. Throughout all of history, books were written with sperm, not menstrual blood. Until I was twenty-one, I measured my orgasms against Lady Chatterley's and wondered what was WRONG with me. Did it ever occur to me that Lady Chatterley was really a man? That she was really D.H. Lawrence?"

My 2023 TBR (8/?) 

Assorted women’s lit. I love Erica Jong. I have read a few of her poetry collections and Sappho’s Leap. I finally got a copy of Fear of Flying. I’m determined to read it before I turn 30. Her protagonist is 29 and I just love it when I can coordinate with the characters’ ages. I read Persuasion for the first time when I was 28, the same age as Austen’s heroine Anne Eliot. And I think that made the story all the more powerful for me. Persuasion is now my favorite Austen novel because of that experience. 

I have been wanting to read both Anne Rice and Amy Tan for a long time as well. The Girl who Reads on the Metro was featured in one of Jack Edwards’ videos. Women in Their Beds (a short story collection) was up for a goodreads award I think within the last couple years- or it was nominated at least. I think that’s where I got it from. And I’ve heard good things about Come As You Are and it’s appeared on many suggestion lists for books on relationships, dating, and sex.

"I congratulate myself on every successful takeoff, but not too enthusiastically because it’s also part of my personal religion that the minute you grow overconfident and really relax about the flight, the plane crashes instantly. Constant vigilance, that’s my motto. A mood of cautious optimism should prevail. But actually my mood is better described as cautious pessimism. OK, I tell myself, we seem to be off the ground and into the clouds but the danger isn’t past. This is, in fact, the most perilous patch of air."
