Sunday, 28th April 2002.
Was up all night watching tv and reading. Did some last minute editing for Eric for deviantMAG and was talking to Ruth till 5.30am over AIM. I left the house at 6.15am, and it was pouring. Bought Colin's Eternity and a New York shotglass. Hopped onto the 'plane and slept for most of the journey to London. Virgin Atlantic has some very funky cutlery :P
Reached London 15 minutes ahead of time, and I walked around the duty-free shops, picking up cookies and stuff for mom and her friends. I was feeling very disoriented, but when I came across the perfume section and saw the array of Gucci Envy's on display, I laughed to myself, thinking of that crazy Turkish boy and his mad, mad ideas. Unfortunately, I didn't pick up my bottle of Absolut Mandrin, because it was going for 14 pounds, and I didn't have the money. I thought it was rather pricey, anyway.
While collecting my boarding pass, I was told by the guy behind the counter that I had "a great smile, but there's a cheeky look there too". I thought he was hilarious, lol. Me, cheeky? Never :P He was really nice though; he moved my seat up to the front, where there were at least two other empty seats next to me, so that I could sleep comfortably on the 'plane. I guess it pays to have that cheeky look, hah!
Flying back was great. It was long, but thanks to the extra seats, I got to lie down and sleep comfortably. One of the air stewardesses yakked with me for a while. She thought I was 17, and was wondering why I was travelling alone. Come to think of it, I really like travelling alone. Ruth said I should have a companion of sorts to help me carry my stuff, lol. Honestly though, if it weren't for the luggage, travelling alone's fun, 'cause you just do what you want to do. That's just me though.
