Finally home

I'm home! Ahh.... it feels great to be back. It's about 11:54 pm right now. It was a long flight... it was supposed to be a 4 hour flight but we got there 15 minutes early, I think (so we landed at 8:45 pm). Then at the Vancouver airport, the line for customs was sooooo long. There must have been like 100 people in line already (seriously... it was that bad) but the line moved at a pretty good pace. At this point, Maggie and I were taking bets on when exactly we would be setting foot out of the actual airport; she said 9:35 and I said 9:44, just so that it wasn't exact. So we finally got through customs and proceeded to get our luggage from the carousel. We figured that because we had been waiting for so long in the line that our baggage (all of it) would probably be circling around on it already. But when we got there, we didn't see our luggage and we almost resorted to going to the baggage claim and asking what the hell happened. We figured it may have gotten lost because we had a connection flight in Fort Worth, Dallas. We waited some more and I saw my suitcase so I grabbed it and we assumed that Maggie's would be really close by since we had travelled together and they checked both of them in at the same time... but no. After it finished dumping (haha, dumping) out the luggage, it just stopped. The carousel was still spinning, but the ramp thingy just stopped and we didn't know what to do. There were still lots of people standing around from our airplane waiting for their luggage as well, so we knew it was just us. We waited again some more and finally another batch came out and we got Maggie's suitcase. We basically flew by all the exits, handed in our customs form and zoomed out of the airport at... you guessed it, 9:44!!! So yeah, I was right. Anyhooz, I am now back in Vancouver and yay! Hope you guys had fun without me. We have to get together so I can give you your exotic presents (yes, exotic... as far away as Alabama/Tennessee)

So Lily's gone to Shanghai I hear. I hope you're having fun there. Try not to sweat too much... it's not a good look for you.

Ann: You sound happy with your job.

Chels: You don't sound happy with your job. Quitting soon? Let's go job hunting together!I have something that might cheer you up.

Amazingly, I don't feel tired, and not because I slept on the plane, because I didn't sleep on the plane. I did have to pee severely because they gave me too much stuff to drink. Can you believe they didn't even offer us a meal? Not even the ones we had to pay for...

And also, random can be overrated, yes, but this guy seems just kinda... I don't want to say this, but average? There's nothing hugely interesting about him, other than the fact that he wants to be a funeral director... and that he's really good-looking. Besides, I don't think he's into me that way and neither am I, strangely enough. Finally, he lives out in Indiana.

See you guys soon! You guys can see me perform on Thursday (technically today)
