ennui

[jeffnelson]

It's two days before Christmas, I'm sitting in the san francisco airport, which i've been in for the last 6 hours, I didn't sleep last night (i had to leave for the airport at 3:45am and I'm used to going to sleep at 2 or later, and i thought i was getting on the 6:30am flight) so I figured i could sleep on the plane, but i didnt get on that flight, and i didnt get on the 7:22 flight, or the 8:30, 10:00, 11:00.... so now im waiting for the 12:46, buuut its 10 seats over sold, so unless 10 people don't show up, I won't get on... It looks like I'm gonne here till 10:00pm, fly to Miami all night, then take like a 7am flight out of miami to dallas. needless to say, next year im making my parents buy me a ticket for christmas (for those that dont know- im flying standby cuz my dad works for the airline.) i feel like a zombie carring copius luggage. and i spent $7 on a bagel and $5 on 2 aa batteries (which I bought from a frightening shemale who gave me $1.30 in change instead of $0.13, don't worry I gave her/him back te excess change... but really though, they cost $4.87 and I gave her a five, then she gave me the dollar and thirty cents after fiddling with a handheld calculator for at least 30 seconds) anyhoo, im counting down the ever-increasing hours until I see you all... it reminds me of running on a treadmill... or one of those carrots tied to a string that the hunter keeps tugging away from the rabbit. or both, seeing as how im exhausted and hungry (there's an hour line for the only food place in this terminal- they're remodeling or something so its the only one open).

wow, i havent complained this much in a while.
i guess it helps a little.
