Delayed in Chicago
Entry 2 of 8 | show all | print this entry |
You know what really grinds my gears? When you're sitting on an airplane, waiting for it to take off, and a voice comes on and says "this aircraft is out of commission, please exit it and await further instructions." What grinds my gears even more? "I hope to god you guys get to get out of this airport tonight."

So hear I am, at the world's lamest airport (seriously, no sports on TV at the bar? come on!), waiting. Chicago definitely isn't as fun as Changi for hanging out between flights. No one seems to be playing the football channel.
Perhaps this would be a good time to write down those New Years Resolutions I was conned into making this year. (Resolutions normally irritate me to no end. Why don't you just change your life NOW? Why wait until some arbitrary date that isn't even the real "new year" anyway?)
1. (The most important of all of them.) Spend next New Years Eve with Audrey. (United we stand!)
2. Climb more. I have not gone climbing in almost 4 years, and that is just wrong. Mostly this is due to the knee injury, which plagues me no longer. I took up diving because it was easier on the knees, but I find I much prefer this sport to scuba diving. Possibly this is because I have absolutely no fear of heights or falling, but the idea of drowning or dying of decompression sickness scares me just a wee little bit. Or possibly this is because whenever I go diving all of the most embarassing things possible always happen.
3. Be single all year. In the words of a famous philosopher, "Men are frightful nuisances at times. How much simpler life would be if women did not have to make allowances for their little peculiarities!" I don't have time for such peculiarities if I am going to be a fabulous acupuncture student, at whatever school I choose to attend.
4. Do not, under any circumstances, get drunk and by plane tickets abroad, no matter how much I loathe San Diego and desire to leave it once and for all.
5. Go to spring training! Or at least, go to as many baseball games as possible. And if I move to England, I will NOT be replacing my sport of choice with cricket.
6. DO NOT DRINK ANY VODKA ALL YEAR. New Years Eve certainly taught me a lesson in that respect.
That is about all I can think of. I really wish this effing plane would get here already.
