As evinced by my last post, I am slightly sleep deprived these days. In part, I feel as though I am bouncing back and forth across the earth. Tonight I leave for Wichita; on Sunday I leave for California. All this traveling is certainly fun and thrilling (I know there are people who are stuck and would eagerly kill me for the chance to wear my traveling shoes), but kind of wearying for a homebody crab. For some reason I keep thinking about that twin paradox analogy from my high school physics textbook, and I tell my homebody self that all this hurtling through space may actually prolong my life (granted that I am not flung head first into a mountain or a corn field somewhere along the way).
I’ve also been using up energy trying to keep my friends from hurtling themselves off wintry Kansas cliffs. You’d be surprised how many dark and dreary cliffs there are in such a flat state. I am doing my best to try and hold them back, but it is tough and my efforts are, sadly, not all that great. My clear-headed logic and awesome reasoning powers can only go so far; I am perfectly confident of my ability to bend space and time, but saving lives?
Hopefully I shall return from California, not having driven the camper-van-on-its-third-engine into a snowy ditch somewhere in northern New Mexico, to find everything (and everyone) safe and sound.

You are a wonderful friend, but remember it is not your responsibility to manage your friends’ safety, happiness, or sanity. I hope the trip goes well. I hope the trips go well.
