:: in which I sing my barely-contained excitement ::

so --
I'm leaving on a jet plane

don't know when I'll be back again

oh, babe I ['m thrilled] to go

at 6.45 tomorrow morning, I will be flying out of the louisville airport to california.

well, I'm leaving in the morning
and I won't see you again
we'll have one more night together
until the morning brings my [plane] 
and I must go

I'm so thrilled to see my best friend kelsey, and I swear we are going to have more fun than anyone else, ever. I mean, come on. it's us.

I'm never gonna look back

whoa, I'm never gonna give it up

no, just don't wake me now

this is gonna be the best [week] of my life

my li-i-i-i-i-i-i-ife 

x) 

we're going to go swimming.

'cause it's never cold in california

there's always someone near

to tell you that they love you

we're going to stay up all night and jump around until we see the sun.

*ahem*

we're gonna stay up all night and jump around

until we see the sun

we're gonna stay up all night ['cause we are girls

who are feeling 22 want to have some fun]

hold on to the feeling, and don't let it go

'cause we got the floor, yeah

get out of control

I want to stay up all night 

and do it all with you

AND we're going to eat at in-n-out basically every meal, including breakfast (NUMBER ONE THING I MISS ABOUT THAT OL' STATE. aside from the beach and the redwoods. of course). 

well, she got her daddy's car

and she cruised through the hamburger stand, now

seems she forgot all about 

the library like she told her old man, now

and with the radio blasting

goes cruising just as fast as she can, now

AND WE'LL HAVE FUN, FUN, FUN

[just hum the line about the t-bird, oka-a-a-ay] x)

WESTWARD HO!

...be back in two weeks.
