. . . because I'm having the wobbling terrors about TSA and nothing warms the chambers of my cold, blackened, unbeating heart like reading about other people's misery. I realize no one likes being groped, but I'm afraid I'll flip out, punch someone and then get shot, or put on a no-fly list, or something. Sheesh!
In other news, I have over 3,000 watchers? When did that happen? I remember thinking I should do something special to celebrate hitting 3,000 and now it's past that and whoa. Because that's precisely 3,080 more people than I ever thought would be interested in watching me draw a million werewolves. Seriously, I was visiting my aunt this past week while she was babysitting my cousin's two little girls, and I was drawing unicorns for them in their coloring book, and my aunt says, "You should draw a wolf! Remember when you used to draw wolves all the time?". Yeah, I'm five years old still.
Anyways, if anyone can think of anything fun to belatedly do, sing out.
In closing, I'll share this which went up on Cracked today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84WpcmJ28Yg
it's gone up from 17,000 to 47-odd just since this morning.
The writer says, "I can't morally include that last dub without bringing up this one -- and I'm telling you right now, it's a goddamn tragedy that this only has 17,000 views. If this doesn't have at least a million by next week, I'm setting people on fire. It's that horrible "Party Rock Anthem" song, started right at the dancing interlude part of the video. Except right as they say the line "Every day, I'm shufflin'," the music that comes in is the cantina song from the original Star Wars. And it fits perfectly. Every beat, every dance step, every kick ... perfect. If you can watch that video and still be in a bad mood, you may be part demon. And if the Internet can make a pre-teen's song about days of the week famous, then there's no fucking reason we can't reward the person who made this."
I AM part demon (1/4 demon on my mother's side) and I love the hell out of it. You won't be sorry you clicked on it.

Uhm...not sure what else to say as I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly ><
Most of mine are actually during the flight itself and extend from my being a clutz. I did intentionally douse the guy next to me in tomato juice because he was being a twat.
The only stories I've got are from the flights themselves, and those are mostly about how even though I assign myself an isle seat on the website(s), I always end up stuck in between two people because there end up being more seats than the chart showed. Or the last international flight I had...
Everyone has these little LCD TVs in the backs of their seats on the 8-10hr flights I've been on, okay? They're touch-screen, and you can poke through and watch movies or TV shows, listen to music, play games, and so on. I just so happened to get the one that was broken. It would turn on, but most of the time the buttons didn't work, and the audio would jump in and out of really loud static. After that, I got lost during my connecting flight and ended up having to go through security twice because I'm an idiot. I almost missed the plane. If I'd somehow taken 15-30 minutes longer, I probably would have been stranded in Dallas/Fort Worth. That had to be the worst flight home I'd ever had.
The next time I fly, I don't want to have to come back. 9_6
Perhaps my worst experience was returning to college after one Christmas break. I was originally scheduled to fly from my Midwestern airport to BWI and then to the East Coast airport nearest my university, to which I had to arrive before 5am the following morning to board another flight with a college group I was touring with.
At 3pm, we arrive at the airport to find that my flight no longer exists. The only way to get to my college in time was to reroute my flight ... through Atlanta. So I flew from the Midwest, to Atlanta, to the Northeast, and then to the Deep South within 24 hours. XD
That, or the time that I spent the night outside of security in a foreign country.
surprisingly egnough nothing crazy happened beyond having to remove them
we (two people) just got free tickets & $300 each because they overbooked :D
and idk, security is fine as long as you don't forget to take everything out of your pockets
i forgot my phone once and they treated me like i had a bomb in my pocket :c
Years later, I went to NYC and flew into and out of LaGuardia. This was the full "take off your belt, take off your shoes" etc. thing. Paranoia. I did, and no big deal. The next week there was a story in the news about some gal who had flown from LaGuardia and - during the flight - recalled (and made the mistake of telling people) that she hadn't removed a knife and a stun gun from her carry-on. Great security they had, huh?
Idunno, never found flying FUN. When I was a kid I got horrible ear pains from the pressure changes :B
That video has nearly at two million views now :P but I really love the original songggg!!
