[ adventures travellin' ]

so, i had adventures getting back to los angeles from seattle yesterday. my family's unofficial motto is 'A FAMILY THAT'S LATE TOGETHER... STAYS TOGETHER!' we left my house an hour before my scheduled flight and it wasn't pretty. i never carry anything in my pockets at the airport (to avoid the whole beeping/walk-through-again-please sequence), but i had gone to the fremont street fair that day and had with me some souveniers. the buttons (one peace sign, one 'i love amie') attached to my belt loop caused me to be herded into the 'm'am-i-need-you-to-spread-your-legs' line. the metal rod that went with my new dragonfly garden ornament thiniemajig caused walkie-talkies to blare and superiors to be called. (RED ALERT! RED ALERT! potentially dangerous home decor!) they made me take off my flip-flops to run through the x-ray machine.

i finally got on my plane ten minutes before take-off.

during beverage service, the waitress accused one of my row-mates of touching her butt when it just wasn't true. he was black, she was white, i don't really know if that had anything to do with anything, but she gave him the evil eye for the rest of the flight.
