i HATED how people would try to coo at/comfort me when i'd be crying in a terminal or on a plane. i know they meant well but i always wanted to stab them lots.  See, I must not look like the friendliest person. No one ever tried to comfort me. I must give off the "Fuck off" vibe when I am upset. Oh the same goes for being pregnant, no strangers have come up to touch my belly either. 
I need to think of some ways to keep my mom occupied on her flight over here. The longest she has ever been on a plane was two hours. She HATES to fly. | |

Enjoying the music stations, and forcing myself to be distracted by the flight movies. The in between moments are filled with lots of vodka  | |

And another way to make the time pass on long flights is to pass out from abdominal pain and get moved up to First class and have the paramedics waiting on the runway when the plane finally lands in the U.S. That works too.oooh!!! awesome! I will have to remember that!   Yeah it works.  But then you have to sit overnight in some random hospital in D.C. with no family there, no luggage, and then check into a hotel before your next connecting flight will leave. So maybe just the regular flying plan isn't so bad.  "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I need to think of some ways to keep my mom occupied on her flight over here. The longest she has ever been on a plane was two hours. She HATES to fly. Same no one ever bothered to come up and try and comfort me when I was about to get on my flight to Australia for 3 months and was being a tad silly about it sure I wasnt wailing but I could have done with someone asking me if I was okay. It was made a whole lot worse when I sat next to a woman who called her daughter over for a hug, I wanted a hug from my mummy.
My only defense was that it was the first time I had actually flown on my own and I was leaving everyone I knew for 3 months and had no idea if I was even going to enjoy myself. With Love there is no Death | |

Invest in a good travel pillow and if need be, take an over the counter sleeping pill. The first time I traveled from (21 hr flight) Chicago to Bangkok and I learned on my layover in Tokyo I had another 5 hours and mintues left, I got good and drunk. That's an option too. 
P.S. Purchase a backup battery for your iTouch/MP3 player/Blackberry. ===== [Edited 9/10/09 11:00am] | |
