*flop*
Home, kids.
Thanks for the card, Bri. I have one for you (I actually wrote before I got mine), but since you didn't post the addy in the "give me your addy, bitches" entry, I didn't have the time to dig for yours. Now that I'm home, I do. So a belated card to you is coming. :)
mariadeluca, when are you home from NY? Now? Later? Do update me. I <3 my card.
I didn't get any other cards from people. I'm not necessarily disappointed, but more worried that you all sent them to the old addy and they're not making it to the new addy ... or whatever.
(Oh, and I'm going to need to move again soon. UGH. )
My trip was my trip. Good times ... bad times.
My flight back was so horrendous. It was originally cancelled, then I was rerouted, then changed flights because picking up my connection wouldn't happen due to weather delays , then being delayed, then a HORRIBLY turbulent (and I actually usually don't mind turbulence, so that's a statement) flight, which caused some guy in the back of the airplane to begin vomiting loudly towards the end of the 45 minute flight.
(random aside: Pet Peeve #5237: People who vomit unnecessarily loudly.
I totally understand that blowing chunks requires a certain level of noise. It is, after all, an awkward process for the body to go through. However, I can not stand it when individuals have absolutely no desire to tone it down. It is one thing if you are alone at home. By all means, be as noisy as you want. But when in cramped quarters [like an airplane], nobody wants to listen to you heaving. Being as loud as you would if you were giving birth to an blue ribbon winning pumpkin out of your esophagus is just plain rude and obnoxious.)
No really. This guy was LOUD. Be happy you weren't around for that. It was excruciatingly difficult to listen to without becoming ill myself (and, in my older age, I've become fairly immune to all things vomit)
Don't forget landing with only 12 minutes to get across the airport to make my connection before the plane is scheduled to take off. Running (MY fat ass running) across the airport, only to find that the gate is an entirely new terminal and having to go through security again. Add the joy of sitting bitch between two 250+ pound Mexican brothers from Oakland and an hour of sitting on the runway due to "weather conditions" before making the additional 3 hour flight to Los Angeles.
The airlines losing your luggage during this obnoxiously miserable process: Priceless.
I went back today and all was retrieved happily.
Much love to
fallonmay for my awesome Christmas gift of paid time for a year!! :) *glee* I love you, lovebunny!!
I know this is disjointed, but I'm afraid I'm fairly disjointed. Back home and all, with a lot of realizations on my plate for the new year. All of which will be reflected upon when I'm ... in the mood.
If there are any major developments in your life, please link me, or summarize in comment or something .... because I'm reallllllyyy not looking forward to digging through entries. No offense, but I just don't want to have to skim through the "fun" stuff to get to the important stuff.
