Well, crap.
vampirejew was Frank w/ Sins for the 1st time last night & I missed it. I was so exhausted I couldn't even bring myself to get ready, not to mention drive there & sit through it. I would've fallen asleep at the wheel & had an accident or fallen asleep in the theater & gotten tea-bagged. And while an accident is definitely worse than getting tea-bagged, the latter isn't great either. So I sent an apology to him through the ether & went to bed. I really wanted to see it. I know I'll never hear the end of it, & I'm really bummed, but...safety first. And with finals starting...oh, tomorrow, I needed the rest.
Then I got an email from Tony. He's sending me up on the plane, not the train. fuckfuckityfuck After all the work I did sending him the Amtrak info, he books a flight for me on Alaska Air. I DO NOT want to deal w/ airports. I hate them. I don't mind flying. But...
-I don't like airport crowds & now all extra the safety shit passengers apparently have to go through
-I don't like not being able to keep all my bags w/ me
-I don't like the fact that I prob'ly can't take a shaving razor in my ditty bag...I'm going to visit the love of my life for 2 weeks. I don't want to hurt anyone, I just want to be able to keep my legs nice & smooth while I'm there.
-I don't like I don't like trying to find my gate &
-I have this fear of missing my connecting flight, when applicable.
And of course the flight up is from the Fresburg airport (kinda small & I'm familiar with it; not so bad) to the Seattle airport (huge if I'm correct & I don't know my way around) w/ a puddle jumper (damn noisy machines) to the Portland airport (also big & crowded, but at least Tony will be the tallest person there). However...the flight's at 6 bloody AM!!! I'm wearing my jammies & not doing my hair or makeup. I can understand if he's doing this cos it's cheaper, but I don't think it is. I can understand if he's doing this cos it's quicker, but I'd deal w/ a relaxing day on the train vs a few hours of hell dealing w/ airports, connecting flights & noisy puddle jumpers. Aaargh!
I think I'm going to write him & say that if he's sending me on the plane he's buying me a nice triple bladed razor & making a card to hold up at the airport that says "Megan, the Love of My Life" or sommat. At least the return flight is a direct shot from Portland to Fresburg at a decent hour.
I feel like such an ingrate complaining like this when I actually get to see him & he's paying for it. But I really DON'T like airports. I guess I should be happy I'm not flying out of LAX, though!
On the upside: Jayse's Senior recital is tonight (in about 20 min, actually) so I need to head over that way. And I just remembered today that he said Brian would be town for it! Yay! I saw him & hugged him last time he was here & that was it. Brian's a darling; I'm glad Jayse found him.
