Big Girl Panties

Feb. 29, 2008

I am finally in a plane, and it’s about to take off. In case you’re wondering where I’m heading, it’s a small island near Italy, so all you have to do is guess the name. I really should be listening to the stewardess explaining how to survive in a horrible, burning crush, but I decided to update the journal instead.

By the way, don’t you just love the way they show you how to use the emergency exits and all the survival tools on those small TV screens?

Imagine their crash scenario: sun is shining, pretty girls are using their whistles while jumping happily off the gangways, wind blowing in their hair...

Yeah, that’s the way it’d go. Optimistic much? Listen to them and you'd think there's nothing more romantic on a beautiful sunny day than a plane crush. You see it falling rapidly from the sky, leaving a trail of smoke behind it, and you think, "Aw... Why did I stay home?!"


P.S. The sky is beautiful.
