Disjointed Thoughts: Day One


  • I have never known a time without hardcore airport security. 
  • So much for millennials and their technology. The two 20-somethings sitting here are the only ones reading paper books.
  • This flight is probably only the third time I've ever used airplane mode on an airplane.
  • Do not cry on the plane. Do not cry on the plane. Do not cry on th
  • God be with me. God is with me. God be with me. God is with me.
  • I swear I just peed twenty minutes ago.
  • Don't drink Starbucks before a flight.
  • I almost lost an earbud thingy already? What the hell I just put them down for like two minutes.
  • "Uptown Funk" is a good song to listen to when trying to regulate rhythm to relieve stress.
  • Stomach, why didn't you tell me you were hungry before we got on the airplane.
  • "And in that moment, I couldn't tell what was vibrating faster- the plane or my heart." - an excerpt from a longer piece of Revolutionary Young Adult Fiction I wrote while the plane taxied. 
  • [Peter Pan voice] Here we gooooo!
  • Isn't east the other way?
  • Holy shit
  • I don't care what they say. The Greater Columbus Convention Center does not look like train cars even from the air.
  • Clouds
  • I can see all of Pennsylvania
  • I have to pee
  • Mini pretzels have never tasted so good
  • Wow. Pepsi and Coke products?
  • Conspicuously watching the lavatory door...
  • Oh thank goodness
  • Is that fracking or strip mining? Well whatever it is it ain't good.
  • NEW YORK CITY
  • There's a sign for a dog run but I don't see any dogs. What lies.
  • I'm in the greatest city in the world and I want to take a nap.
  • A firetruck stopped by Times Square traffic
  • 30 Rock. 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Good. I remembered the address this time.
  • I have taken 15,000+ steps today. Standing for 8 hours every day at Walgreens has trained me well. 
  • Just keep walking and show no expression. They'll never know.
  • Trains! Trains are exciting! Trains smell weird!
  • Dogs! Dogs are exciting! And they smell weird too!
  • I feel weird that the waiter assumes I'm 21 and offers me a drink menu even though he'll be right in less than three months.
