daim...miam: flying etiquette

i have this thing.

i can't sleep on planes.

(or any other type of public transport. except for trains/buses if i'm with someone i like)

this makes 16 hour plane rides quite fun as you can imagine.

it's not that i don't trust pilots. (yeah i totes took a sly shot of some just as i was about to board a plane to brisbane)

i just can't fall asleep. i can't normally anyway. but on planes it's like. ridiculous. i think it's cos i don't want people to touch me or my stuff when i'm unconscious. cos that would be weird. i also don't like taking off and landing. scary. i usually hold someone's hand.

i don't like it when people complain about their discomfort during flying....like, i can't sleep. at least you did. bitch.

plus this one time, i had to sit through 13 hours of this kid crying and kicking on my chair the whole entire time. why did i put up with it? cos they were asian. and i could hear the mum trying to calm him down and saying stuff like "you'll hurt the pretty girl in front of you". and when i turned around after about 7 hours, i saw that the kid was mentally disabled. he had blue eyes (not right for an asian) and a hearing aid i'm pretty sure. plus there was no way a kid would chuck such a bad and continuous tantrum. so i just closed my eyes and didn't think about it. rainbow (my sister) fell asleep on my shoulder and wouldn't stop complaining about the kid. and i was like "do you have a heart dude? are you frickin kidding me? i'm the one that is actually in the seat he is kicking and i'm not complaining. so grow a pair"

then the rest of the trip was lovely:

how cute is this little hispanic boy sitting on the suitcase conveyor belt thing waiting for his backpack:

bondi rescue on a plane? i love you qantas.

tetris on a plane? i love you aircalin. (yes, i got all the way to 99 999 999)

walking in semi rain to the airport? not so cool. but check out our braces! how cool are we. no, seriously, leela from futurama had braces. nuff said. i love us:
