Why the fuck is it every time I work to make something just right, something comes along to fuck it all up?
This time it's fucking terrorists!!
I just can't fucking win!
I'm flying to California next month for Tara's wedding. I went through so much trouble to put together the perfect flight plan; I purposely looked for a flight that would give me a two-hour layover halfway through; I had the plan so strategically crafted, even though it required me to fly in to and out of two different airports just so I could have the best options for the plan. I spent hours planning that trip.
All for fucking nothing.
I purposely wanted a layover, so I would be able to re-charge the battery in my laptop. I had the whole fucking flight planned so I could watch anime the first half of the flight, until the battery died (it lasts about an hour, I think), then have a layover where I could charge it again, then be able to watch more the second part of the trip.
But now, because of fucking terrorist assholes, I may not even be able to bring my laptop. So all the planning I did was for nothing. Spending the extra money on the only flight that had just the right elements was for nothing. Now I'm going to be stuck on a longer flight, with a two hour layover, for nothing.
SHIT.
Couldn't they have pulled this shit two months from now, so it wouldn't have mattered? Couldn't they have done this two months ago, so I could have just grabbed the cheaper, non-stop flight?
Of course not. That would mean something going right in my life. CAN'T HAVE THAT!
::fumes::
Of course, I don't know for sure what will happen. I've heard several different things - from no electric things will be allowed to only liquids/gels/toothpaste/etc. being disallowed - and the trip is still a month away, so maybe things will calm down by then.
But probably not. Because, you know...it'd be good for me an' all.
I may just finish 'The Tale of Genji' this year after all.
Mostly, I feel sorry for Tara. She'll be flying from England, where things are even worse. They can't even have any carry-ons besides a wallet. .o_o Are they seriously going to make her get on a 14-hour flight without being allowed to bring anything to do on board with her? She'll go out of her fucking mind.
(well....no, knowing her, she'll probably just sleep the entire time.... still sucks though..)
The other thing that worries me is Günter.. I'm defininately planning on taking him with me, but if security is tight they may not let him on with me. But I DO NOT want to put him in my checked luggage - I'm fully aware they just throw people's shit around, even stuff marked 'fragile', and don't give a shit what happens to it, where it lands, what lands on top of it.. With my luck, I just know that even if I wrapped him securely in bubble wrap, pillows, and clothes, and put him in my luggage, some 600-fucking-pound bag would get thrown on top and I'd end up with a shattered resin boy. I can not risk that.
Unless I could find a sturdy metal box that he could fit in, and would fit inside my suitcase.... ..... Actually, my dad might have one of those..... Hmm.... (because he's the treasurer of his motorcycle club, so he has several metal cash boxes)
Meh. I guess what I'll have to do is call the airline the day before and tell them that I'm going to have a very very expensive doll with me that I'd like to take in my carry-on bag, and see if it'll be ok. Again, I'm hoping things won't be too bad a month from now, but I'll do it just in case. And if they indicate at all that there may be a problem, I will look into getting one of those boxes.
And I must remember to get the full name of whoever I speak to, so if I'm told it'll be ok then get hassled when I actually get to the airport, I can say "SO-AND-SO SAID IT WOULD BE OK!! >=( " 'Cause I know that's what'll happen to me. .-_-
::huffs::
Well I feel a bit better, now that I've vented. ::nod::
And I'll feel even better watching this here new episode of 'Princess Princess D'.
