Paper Blog

Dear Readers,
Its Christmas Eve and I traveled from Arkansas to California to head home. On my layover in Dallas, I found a quiet place at a restaurant and watched people. After watching for not even thirty minutes, I found myself compelled to write and write I did. I scribbled down this blog on the back of my budget sheets. Here it is with a few edits:

I am sure you will be happy to know that I am so tech-savvy, I can even blog on paper! Since my computer is so stubbornly in-portable, I didnt even think I would write to all you loverlies today, but the material is just too good. So I decided to let you know what sort of people inhabit the Dallas airport on Christmas eve.

First up: A curly headed Jewish man of whos fancy I seemed to have struck. I have been told I look Jewish so its no worries, however when people usually hit on me, its never that big of a grin. Ive apparently outdone myself this morning. On second thought, perhaps I should wake up late and not get a chance to shower more often!

Second: The airline lady taking her McDonald's out for a cruise around terminal C in one of those little terminal car thingies. Also, I found not only the Little Terminal Car Thingie parking but also the Little Terminal Car Thingie traffic jam (elevators). Anyway back to the lady. She even had her arm over the back of the seat like cool high school guys when they take pretty girls out... or so Ive been told.

Third: You know how at the security point some people get impatient and start to bicker? That moment when the person that slept in and is about to be late (usually me) gets stuck behind the person that is approximately 15 years early for their flight and enjoying a nice relaxing morning (usually my dad). The the first person starts making comments and crowding the second person which causes the second person to go even slower until they are in a screaming match. Exactly... only it was a bunch of small yappy dogs today. I kid you not! Dogs barking all over the place. Had I know it was ok to let your dogs fight in the Dallas security check, I would have brought Duke!

Finally: The lazy man. Epic. This guy is absolutly brilliant. He is literally walking thru the terminal with hands in his pockets, nice and lazy. Not a thing on his person, no backpack, no suitcase, no nothing. Nothing, but his pillow, which (get this) was around his NECK! I did a double take. He was so casual about it like everyone walked around with a pillow around their neck. Oh the questions it brought it my mind! How heavy is a plane pillow? Is he narcoleptic and just over-prepared? I need to know his story!

Update: I tried it and those pillows are like a hug just for your neck. The moment it was around my neck I couldnt help but grin. Its a very happy feeling; I totally get his point now.
