Later that night... (or rather, technically, that day)

SO in this blog- while im over seas- can you, my loyal readers (hahah yeah I know- lol!), do three things

1-      Forget my grammar and spelling (it’s terrible- forgive me)

2-      Remember that this is not a journal

3-      Remember this is a blog

That means that this will not be documented, sequenced series of my day, but rather snippets of thought I’ve written down and typed later; photos (sorry they’ll be from the dodgy camera as the good one’s photos are too large to upload); random occurences; interesting happenings; and any other rare stuff I find/do/see/feel/touch/taste/smell/experience.

So I’m now currently in Departure lounge B2B (I think this is Thailand secretly telling us that they’ve made an updated version of the bananas in pajamas)

*I always suspected foul play in the animated world of ABC*

Anyway… so the moment I was off the plane (thank goodness after almost 9 hours) the heat hit me. Not so much heat but humidity. Then a swift walk along those awesome flat escalators (which make me feel tall for some reason…) and into the airconditioned bubble in space and time. I think the next evolutionary stage for humans will either be homo internetus or homo strandedalethus-in-airportious. Both will be brain dead and capable of connecting wirelessly to youtube with fast streaming. Vocal connect will be annihilated and only the sound of typing will be heard.

Enough of that.

So- the random thoughts and pictures from the plane trip…

READY?
GO!

5:30pm Australia time

Screaming babies and marshmellow clouds- what more could you ask for?

7:52pm Australia time

I’ve watched pointless, mindless, boring crap for the past 4 hours until my brain explodes and when I find something worth watching- my tv chicks it in saying “svgalib:Sigmal 11:segment fault received.”

COOL L

7:57pm Australia time

Most of the time I don’t understand my parents. They can sit happily plugged in for 4 hours plus without itching to look out the window and snapping it up with a camera

8:07pm Australia time

You could see it. The sun peeking out underneath the clouds. The son that everyone so desperately craves but never seeks; needs but never wants. I wanted to yell; to scream at them “It’s right here! Just open your window!”. But they wouldn’t listen; they won’t listen. Just like I didn’t. I guess the dark catches us all- always.

9:33pm Australia time

I chased the sun and I lost.

Now I sit in the dark until someone turns a light on.

9:40pm Australia time

Water in a plastic container. Really?

9:41pm Australia time

Would it really be that hard to make edible plane food?

9:48pm Australia time

Apparently I was right. It’s not that hard- a chicken curry with a rice pilaf is great when compared to whatever the hell I was eating before.

9:52pm Australia time

Who ever thought that characteristics could be inherited is a genius- I instantly and instinctly liked the male flight attendant (who I had had previous doubts on his sanity before) the moment he offered me a choice of wines!!!

10:02pm Australia time

Dad ALWAYS gets the most food on planes then he denies sharing it with me and mother. We are always given less food because apparently having a nut allergy or being a vegetarian makes you less hungry. All on the pretence of possible allergens in the food. Stupid, responsible, doctor father. It’s definitely not survival of the fittest- the “I” has been updated to an “a”.

10:40pm Australia time

In nothing, we are nothing.

But in everything there is hope.

10:55pm Australia time

OWWW!!! My back hurts from trying to get comfortable.

????

11:24pm

Same old, same old. On a plane

So yeah! That’s what I wrote down whilst suspended 10km over the hard, unforgiving surface of the earth by mere metal.

Sorry if it’s a bit weird; a bit random but that’s just me in general!!!

Miss you guys
