Planes, Trains, and Mobile phones.

so... seeing as I haven't written anything in about a million years, I decided to try my hand at blogging once again. It's going to be quite random (seeing as I'm on a layover in Seattle right now waiting to board the plane to Boise and haven't slept in almost 24 hours and just got off a 10 hour flight...)

so... first, 5 things near me right now.

1. american and british mobile phones
2. ipod.
3. frosty. (mmmmm praise the Lord! i missed frosties!)
4. Fake ray ban's from camden market
5. cool straw fedora from H&M london.

cool, so now that that's over with, I have come to a conclusion; public transportation and I are pretty much besties. Why you may ask? well... let me tell ya. So, woke up this morning at 6 am. london time and rode the hour train all the way to heathrow with my fam fam to board the plane. then rode it all the way back to the airport to pick up my bags (where the crazy hotel man got mad at me for forgetting the room key in the room. he didn't like us very much.) then, i went on a hunt for HSBC and finally found it before riding the train all the way back to heathrow! PHWEW!

next, a three hour waiting in the airport before a 10 hour flight that puts me where i sit, right here in the seattle airport on my maple four legged chair looking out the giant window wall to the sky beyond. it's pretty grand. soooooooooon ill be boarding my 2 hour flight to boise to have another 1.5 hour drive home though! whew! that's quite a bit of travel in one day!!!

so, random story. This morning i woke up and had the great idea that if i went with my parents to the airport they could check my bags with them since they were short and then i wouldn't have to carry them with me. Great plan, no? well all goes according to plan (except for me not getting the right tube pass and getting in trouble. oops) until i get BACK To the airport four hours later. I'm all excited because i don't have to check any bags and head smiling to the security checkpoint with my carry on bag, back pack, and longboard. when i get there, the lady then informs me that i can't carry my longboard (which i've done on several other occasions so that's not true) so i have to walk ALL THE WAY back to check it. Just my longboard. nothing else. haha the lady thought it was pretty funny too. now, let's fastforward all the way to seattle where i get off the plane, hoping i can make an earlier flight, so i'm hurring. Lo and behold! i have to wait for my *luggage* to come before i can go through security again, which is only my longboard, so i have to wait again for an hour until my longboard comes out last on the little cart. wow. it's amazing. good thing i love chae so much! woot woot.


well... soon ill be boarding my plane to boise. holla!

not really sure if this made sense, but there's another addition to my jet lag rambles!

peace in the middle east.
shalom in your home.
