- Somehow, I'm under control
- Should I be?
- Normally by this time I'm paranoid, nervous, angstful, and cringing from the
- inevitable rejection that is sure to come....
- But I'm also happy, racing up through the sky, headed for orbit as fast as
- I can get there. You have to get sufficient altitude you know if you're
- going to plummet back to reality......
-
- But not this time. She's great, I like her a lot,even starting to care about
- her, but there's no sound of engines warming up in the back of my head,
- no rush of adrenaline, no obsessive thoughts, no crying, no endless checking
- for email or anything like that...just lots of thoughts, ideas, images,etc.
- but none of the tyranny of emotion that has always been stock standard for
- me at times like this.
- Am I actually in control of my feelings this time, or have they been so
- stomped on and beat out of me that I don't even have them anymore.....?
