I like this entry for its description of various people's reactions to a delayed flight at the airport, but particularly for the term "arguing with reality." I think this is a very common and silly thing to do, and I know that I am quite often guilty of it. And I recognized myself toward the end:
The planes come, if not on time. The words come, if not when I want them. I do best when I use the time of waiting engaged in something other than arguing with reality.
The planes come, and I have never missed a deadline.

'arguing with reality'
I find myself doing this sometimes too.
Continuing with the theme of "the words are late," my comments are late. Welcome, Trula!
I find myself doing this most often with time, especially in the mornings. I look up at the clock and gasp, "it can't be 7:30 already!" Alas, it is. I am constantly having to reprioritize as I try to get myself and Viva out the door in time for school/work. I just keep denying the reality that I move really slowly in the mornings and I need extra time, which means I can't be all heavy-handed with the snooze button.
I am trying to improve.
We'rea ll heavy handed with the snooze button. I admit that I've been too generous with my sleep tim e and less with my getting ready time. I need to work on that. Baby steps...
Mmm, sleep.
Hee.
