Grab your shit first, make it quick.  Block the aisle because you stood up first so now you're entitled.  Sit down cow! Just because your ass is bigger doesn't give you the right make me miss my flight.  They are holding the plane for me, please step aside.  a shuttle with one other US passenger, hurry now.  Securidado privee por tu.  Made it through to wait in the 15 min queue.  Glad they rushed us.

Standing waiting enjoying the people watching.  The epitome of stupid American behind me says to the intercom voice "doesn't she know we don't understand a thing she's saying?"  wait a second and she will translate for you.   Was she that ignorant and self involved before or has old age wilted her brain?  Sigh. Maybe I should try harder not to listen, thank you ipod!

It's all ok now because one of the cutest babies I've ever seen is sitting across from me.  I'm a sucker for little feet.  And I've got the aisle seat.  Euro adventure over and off to my house where my empty suitcase is waiting to be filled.  Time to fly...

i think

as my european adventure comes to a close, im winding down and gearing up for the next adventure.  3 days after i get home. just enough time to do laundry, pay bills and pack again. i cant wait but i can but i cant.  tormented by the need to work and the desire to see new things and be with people i love.  i love my life but im ready to settle, right?  too much to do before i leave yet another country so i sit with my pen and write to satisfy myself.  the sun is setting, maybe i can catch a few more memories before i leave.  my itunes just hit repeat.  animal collective sings yet again...

No more runnin', says my mind 
All this movement has just proved your kisses hard to find 
Older harmony that I see 
Friends I once had turn their thoughts away from me 
No more runnin', I’ve got to breathe 
On back porches with the torch of a firefly lit tree 
It's what I hope for 
It's what I hope for 
No more runnin' 
No more runnin' 
I locked my bones and trapped my feet 
I told them I found ‘em a place to be 
And stick like candy in your teeth 
When you lose your faith in me 

i think ill listen.
