this is not my triumphant return

[etben]

there was a dude on the airport shuttle bus who was straight up whining about how far away the hotel was, and how shitty it was, and about the traffic, and the airline, and I was just - SIR YOU ARE AT LEAST TWICE MY AGE. PUT ON YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES ALREADY. and apparently he's on my plane tomorrow morning, so, you know. THAT should be exciting!

so, yes. flight massively overbooked, so I took the $400 travel voucher and the night in the (honestly NOT THAT AWFUL) hotel (WHICH HAS FREE WIFI AND A POOL I SERIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS DUDE'S DEAL WAS) and will be making it home tomorrow sometime! I'm honestly totally cool about it - I am going to try to hang out with some of the MSP people tonight, but failing that there's a mexican place across the street and I have a mattress and a television and a shower all for myself, plus the aforementioned wireless, so. Life: not actually that bad!

Next task: trying to find actual skin color under the layers of accumulated grime on my feet. If you're around, you should tell me interesting things!

HI MARIE. I just cut my foot and now there is blood everywhere.

HEY IMP HEY. I have a million mosquito bites on my legs, and I keep scratching at them without thinking about it and picking off the scabs and then bleeding on things without realizing.
