Columbus, OH
12:21 PM-Go to catch the bus. A white civic drives by and a deep voice yells, "Heeya Beeatch!" I squint at the sun and pretend to not hear him.

12:34 PM-Transfer and wait for the 92 bus. I have swampass already. Grand.

2:00 PM-Make it to security and I'm singled out. My bag is scanned three times because I look sooooo threatening, right?? ALSO, when did they start feeling women up at the airport????

3:30 PM-Settle into my window seat when my neighbor starts crying. Hard. She calms down and she starts pouring out,"I'm going to basic and I have to leave my boyfriend. I just keep listening to this song that fits us perfectly [me: invisible eye roll] it's by Simple Plan [me: gag]." She goes on and on and on and instructs me that I should chew gum for my ears. "Uhhhh yeah I've flown a couple times."

7:15 PM-I board the plane for my next flight from O'Hare (O'Hell) to Dublin and the flight attendant announces there will be a three hour delay and everyone must get off the plane. I just took two heavy duty sleeping aids.

Chicago, IL, Dublin, IRL, Amsterdam, NL
I sleep sitting up. I sleep on the floor. I sleep walking. I sleep on the plane. I sleep in Dublin. I sleep 'til the Netherlands. Now I'm here. And I can't sleep. But that's quite alright because....I'm in Amsterdam.
