the perfect moment

alright. well.

i'm sitting on a plane in between two annoying people.
have you ever loved someone so much, but hated them at the same time?
yeah, me too.
like right now.

they're video taping me writing this blog.
D: what are you writing?
N: she's writing a blog.
M: yeah.
D: i want peanuts.
N: that's so cliche. peanuts on an airplane?
M: yeah that is cliche.
D: but i like peanuts.
N: so do i but you don't see me ordering them on a plane.
D: well i like dogs but you don't see me ordering one of those do you?
M: shut up. that didn't even make sense, D. this conversation is over.
D: *mumbled* it did too make sense.

As annoying as they are, there's something about this moment that is very relaxing.
two people i love sitting close, good music playing on my ipod, the quiet chatter surrounding us. the light from my laptop glowing dimly on the semi-dark plane.

there's something i call the perfect moment.
there are no words to describe it.
it's just the moment when you get that unbelievable happy feeling when you love life, god, your friends, when you love even the most annoying things and the biggest fears.

it's the moment when the windows are down, the music is playing and it's sunny out.

or it's even the moment when the rain is splattering against the side of the tour bus, and your falling asleep to the latest john mayer.

or it's even the moment you sign the contract to do a season 3 with disney, or a second album.

it's whatever you want it to be.

A lot of things are going wrong right now.

my phone is ringing, but i can't reach it.
i can't sleep.
my throat hurts from so much screaming.
my stomach hurts from so much fair food.

but even because of these two annoying, loud, obnoxious people, and the bad feelings in my body, and the uneasy noises, this, is no doubt, the perfect moment.
