Last night I was riding on the back of Justin’s motorcycle, going sixty five down Route 31. Not an outstanding incident in and of itself, but I had the strangest urge to fling myself off the back of the bike. The rational part of my brain said that if I did something so stupid, and at such an odd angle, I would wind up quadriplegic or dead or horribly maimed and disfigured; but something else told me that if I let go, I would fly, and land harmlessly over on the shoulder.

I don’t know which of the outcomes surprises me more.

It wasn't suicidal- at least, not in the textbook sense- but it was such an odd sensation. Time stood still for those few seconds, and I knew I wouldn't have gotten hurt had I jumped.

I might not have ever been seen again, but I wouldn't have been hurt.

I got that sensation a couple of times, going over that little bridge to my house... I knew somehow that if I opened the door, I could get home quicker than if I was in the car, that I would just whizz past.

Maybe it has something to do with elements? Mine is obviously water... I think yours might be air...

Doesn't that sound fanfic-ey?

Maybe I should get in touch with Justin, so I can have a ride on his motorcycle? Hmmmm...

I think we should definitely look into the whole elements issue. Who knows, we could really have some kind of super powers or something. Muah ha ha. I always kind of had you figured for an air person though. Air and Winter.

Actually I was talking to Justin last night about you. He told me to tell you to go to his house to go swimming in his pool. You want his #?

I dunno... I usually identify with Water in the Chinese sense... flowing in all directions with nothing to stop it. HMM. lol. I'm definitely a winter person, though. No doubt. Maybe I can shoot ice from my fingertips!

Yeah, I know you & Justin talked, since he was asking me for my LJ URL. :P Oh, well. I'm not really all that interested in hanging out with him, actually.
