You’re Stuck in Here with Me

I realize that I kind of failed at the Decemblog! thing. This was mostly due to the magic of Christmas and trying to spend every ounce of time with my mom, and later Max. Also, I have been unable to sleep any longer than six hours a night, which has been causing me to pass out pretty early these days. I’m not really all that sure why…but I was an insomniac for years, up until I met Max, so maybe it’s just resurfacing again.

I am currently in transit, taking a nightmare of flights to get from Toronto back to BC. I have been reading Watchmen practically the whole time, and I have to say that this is one of the best graphic novels I have read. Granted, I am kind of new to the scene, though Max assures me that Watchmen is one of the greatest of all time. I highly recommend it.

I used to love flying when I was growing up. I started flying alone when I was six years old, which was a bit upsetting, but mostly because I was flying between parents. Lately though, the industry is starting to wear on me. Nothing is easy anymore, in fact, on my last two flights they were charging TWO DOLLARS for a beverage. I was infuriated. I paid over a thousand for my crappy seat, and now you want two more for a tiny bottle of water?! I think not. Oh, and now bags cost money, changing your seat costs money, soon they will be charging us to use the toilet!

…I have really come to hate flying, but I think it’s the industry’s fault. I don’t know why they get to treat us like crap, probably because we have no choice but to fly.

I am just tired of jumping through this miserable little hoops. I am looking forward to a break from the planes.
