oh hello

It has been a while, but in that while I finished another quarter at school- it went well...i think.  then went to denver for a quick weekend and drove back.  I took notes of things I wanted to write out loud about:

It's rare you meet someone who has never been on a plane.  I actually feel bad that they have not experienced this social norm for so many other people.  There was a guy in front of me at the security checkpoint and everything about him was nervous.  He even said, "this is my first time flying."  Like Joey from Blossom- woah!  I don't know where he was going but he beeped through security and the Service Agent told him to take off his watch, so he did and threw it, literally threw it through the x-ray machine.  Tossed it on the belt and didn't put it in a bin.  Then he almost forgot it because I saw it coming out nearing a fall through the cracks.  Maybe it's not so weird that someone hasn't been on a plane.  I guess I've never driven a stick shift? not the same.

Secondly, I had a pair of scissors in my bag.   Not your 5 year old cousins scissors, these things could cut off an arm, or at least cause severe damage.  The agent took my bag, found the scissors I forgot about, and then shrugged and said they were acceptable size.  WHAT? I can kill someone with these, but I can't bring a bottle of water through? whack.

In world news,  Pirates took hostage of some ship- I wasn't really listening to the rest of the story or the facts because when I heard that pirates REALLY DO EXIST I laughed to myself and then replayed Pirates of the Caribbean in my head.  oh captain jack sparrow- he is definitely a mean hot.
