thankful
i'm so glad international piss off amanda day (aka thursday the 16th) is over. it was all shaped up to be a simple day of travelling back home, but turned out to be a rage-inducing day filled with me grumbling at countless strangers under my breath.
first, i got picked up by the slowest cab driver in the world. he must have been 900 years old. he drove so slowly, at times i felt i was actually going backwards. and when approaching a red light, he wouldn't slow down until it was time to slaaaaaaaaaam on the brakes. plus, he was listening to cbc. which isn't bad in itself, but listening to cbc turned up as far as the freaking speakers will allow sucks for anyone with more than 10% of their hearing left. he did turn it down at one point however, to note that "they don't call cartoons cartoons anymore...they call them 'animated motion pictures". okay. what am i supposed to say to that crazy? just step on it already.
then, there was the six hour layover in vancouver. the only thing that saved me was plugging in my laptop and earphones and watching like four episodes of sex and the city in a corner all by myself. oh, and the starbucks drink and cookie didn't hurt.
but i think sitting on a four hour and fifteen minute flight next to a guy who badly needed a kleenex, and infront of a lady who's only volume of speech was 'high pitched scream' took the cake. oh, and the fact that said grown woman behind me also seemed to find it very entertaining to emulate the 'bing' of all the freaking buttons on the airplane. 'bing' for a stewardess? check. 'bing' for seatbelts? check. 'bing' for i'm going to punch you in the freaking face? check.
as you can see, i'm still a little angered.
but now i'm in ottawa, enjoying the weather, sleeping in my comfortable bed, and hopefully doing some shopping...and eating some gelato. mmm. gelato.
i even got a free cup today at the liquor store when i bought some coolers. bonus! well, technically i took the free cup off of another smirnoff box and put it onto mine. damn the man, i always say.
until next time. stay fit, and have fun.
