Hello, dahlinks. (This is) the first leg of my trip to St. Louis. We're currently taxiing to the runway. I'd like to use the bumpy ride as an excuse for my horrible handwriting, but it's actually always this bad. I left my iPod at home because I didn't want to take the chance that they weren't letting them on. It was a gift from Shannon and I'd be crushed if I lost it. I'm surrounded by people with electronics, though, and am insanely jealous because the regional junior exposition champion is in the row behind me. Now we're taking off.

A woman who was stopped at the security checkpoint cut in line in front of me at the check-in counter to have her checked baggage retrieved so she could put her lipstick and blush in it. Then she was in line in front of me while I bought this notepad and pen, buying two magazines with a credit card. THEN she was in line in front of me getting on the plane. I have this dreadful feeling she's on her way to St. Louis to visit every place I'm going to visit, and will arrive just before I do.

They just announced that the price of beer, wine, and cocktails is now $5! For as long as I can remember, beer and wine were $3 and cocktails were $4.

They also have DirecTV and movies for $5, but I bought Exile in Guyville by

badrobot68's friend

djmrswhite, so I'll just read that instead.

Oh, and the movies are actually $8.

And my god, this pen sucks.

Sucks. I thought maybe the green ink would flow better but it doesn't. I didn't bring my own pen because the ink is a LIQUID. I probably shouldn't have chosen the cheapest 4-color pen at the newsstand.
