so kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you’ll wait for me, hold me like you’ll never let me go

I.  Love.  Turbulence.

Our flight to Korea has a LOT of it.  No, I’m not blogging from the plane duhhhh.  They won’t let us do that, even though Savannah said that it doesn’t really mess with the navigational whatever.  But I am typing it up, and I will post it so it looks like I put it up while on the plane :] 

I don’t know how this happened, but I somehow didn’t realize that this flight is 10 hours long.  TEN.  HOURS.  I don’t think I’ve ever had to sit in one place for that long.,  It’s freaking ridiculous.  I’m pretty sure the longest flight I’ve been on was like, 5-odd hours or so.  Maybe 7, but I doubt it.  Wait… no, it was 7.  Going to Texas, I think, to get to New York.  But 10 hours?!

And at the moment, there are about… 5 and a half odd hours left.  DISLIKE.  Not having a cell phone feels maaaajorly strangeness.  I kind of wish I had brought it with me, so I could at least have the familiarity.  Having only my iPod feels like having only one arm.

Wow I’m technologically dependant.

They keep playing songs on the airplane radio that remind me of home, or something that happened at home, or people at home.  They played the song from Ponyo, they played Madonna’s “Vogue”, they played “Everything” by Arashi, and “Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith.  And that’s just a few of them.  I got sick of it, so I switched to my iPod.  I don’t know if it’ll last 5 and half hours… what’s the expected battery life on these things anyway?  If I just listen to music with the backlight on 0%?  Guess I’ll find out…

I’m ridiculously happy with my going away presents ^_^  Now I have things to remind me of the people I’m going to miss.  I want to shake my orange squishy out the window of the plane, but they pulled all the blinds closed for the movie or something.  And I opened the blind just a wee bit to check, and it’s BRIGHT out there.  Almost ridiculously so.

I did sleep some.  But I’m finding it hard to go back to sleep.  And I keep checking my watch and time seems to be moving really slowly >.>  My new haircut kind of makes me feel more Japanese, but I think that’s just because I have it up in Himono Onna style, and it’s flopping around all over the place.  Kind of funny, actually.

I miss my family and my friends already.  4 months is a really really long time, and I didn’t realize that until around now.  Like, really really realize it.  I hope everyone is still around when I come home, and haven’t gone out to the corners of the Earth.  That would royally suck.  :[

I just noticed they’re playing Sherlock Holmes on the plane.  And I haven’t seen this yet.  So, Ja ne.  I’ll update again from Korea.  Here’s hoping I have internet access there.
