make new friends but keep the old...

Today on the flight home to utah i met my 20 year counterpart female soul mate, and her name is Annette Moral.....like moral of the story. Or at least she tells me to help me remember her name. I met this gem of a lady when i finally found my way to my seat, after making the gate cut of the flight within 5 min. "cuttin it kind of close eh" warned the middle aged man that checked me in. He obviously doesn't know me very well. I simply thanked him profusely for letting e on (a talent i learned in Italy from mustlovetravel) batted my eyes, and made scintillating conversation while he checked my bags. I'm lucky he forgot to charge me the $15 that is now standard for one suitcase amidst the small talk! I hurried to my spot and sat at the wrong gate for going on 15 min before i realized that i was sitting at the gate NEXT TO the right gate, and was happily one of the last to board. Annette is a slender blonde, 6 foot woman with sparkling eyes. Soon after i sat down she had me talking about school, and my family, and my love life. I learned about all of her children who are my age, the battle she has with avoiding her intense younger sister, and her opinions on the changing economy and outrage at the lack of peanuts on the flight. We chatted the whole way, at at some points she had me giggling so hard that we were shushed by the lady in front of us. Annette is truly my 20 year counter part, and i wish i could marry her son so that we could be related lol.

After leaving the airport, i was picked up by twinkle fingers, one of my favorite people from london, if not one of the coolest people in the whole world! Have you ever had a friend that you can understand, and that can just understand you without saying a word? She and i can see each other once a day, or once a year, and it would be as if no time had passed. We rarely delve into our deepest emotions through words because we just understand, and we don't have to verbalize everything. That is what i love about twinkle fingers. She is so easy going and fun to spend time with. When we are together, we play. When we need to, we talk vent our frustrations. And best of all, our relationship has unspoken depth. I hope she knows that i heart her :)
