glacier_kitty1. How do you feel about passengers riding in front of you reclining their seats? I understand why they're doing it, but it's still annoying, especially when I'm trying to watch something on my laptop lol
2. What single aspect of airplane flight do you dislike the most? Being squished in a germy metal tube next to strangers for hours
3. What was your longest flight on an airplane? At least 9 hours..I watched like 5 or 6 movies haha and saw Greenland from the air, which was SUPER cool!
4. What’s your favorite way to pass the time on a long flight? Watching movies, seeing what's outside the window, reading
5. What are the best and worst things you’ve eaten on a plane or in an airport? I had Mexican food at DFW Airport a couple years ago, and their queso was SO good, my tastebuds had forgotten what GOOD Mexican food tasted like! There's a restaurant at the Seattle Airport that has good Italian food too. I've had airport mac and cheese that wasn't great..there might be other things, but can't think of them at the moment..
Earlier on my lunch break I thought I'd read up on Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, known as the "Doomsday Glacier" because it could raise sea levels too high, and about died when I read that scientists want to put up a giant sea curtain in front of the glacier to protect it from warm water. There is even a website: The Seabed Curtain Project! They want to curtain a glacier?? That is amazing and super cool, it'll be a fancy glacier haha! It's probably insanely expensive, but still a cool idea
17. What happened today at 10am? That was Saturday..I had probably just gotten to work
18. Where were you born? Have you been back there since? Upland, California. In the general area, but not to the actual city, I don't think
19. Write down five things about your mother that you are most grateful for:
1. She's always accepted me for who I am and been a huge advocate in my life. She's always treated me "normally," even though she knew I was different right away. Her unconditional love is amazing <3
2. Her presence is super comforting and calm..even if I'm freaking out because I threw my back out and things like that, she'll stay calm and will know what to do. Even if it's 1 in the morning, she'll be there for me. Last year one of my high school friends told me she still remembers mom's calm presence..super cool!
3. How good she is at crafting..she's made me so many cool things! Too bad she didn't pass that on to me haha :P
4. How much fun we have when traveling together..we've done last-minute things that have turned out to be some of my favorite experiences! (Glacier cruises, for one)
5. She makes yummy food! I love her cinnamon toast and our traditional Sunday strawberry milkshakes lol
20. What's your relationship like with your siblings? My half-sisters I haven't seen in like 21 years, but it's fine with Ryan..he was obnoxious to me a lot when we were kids, but now Jo gets all the obnoxiousness haha
21. How do you feel about the dark? It's pretty scary..many times I've been worried about a nonexistent murderer watching me haha. I need even just a little bit of light when I'm in bed, because waking up and not seeing anything is terrifying!
22. When you were little, where was your favorite place to hide? In clothes racks, which would completely freak mom out because Ryan and I would just disappear! When I played some type of tag game with friends, I climbed up this tall, thick tree..it took a log time for them to find me! I also liked hiding under the balls in the McDonald's play area..kind of like a weighted blanket. Definitely an autistic comforting thing!
23. What is your current go-to outfit, and why? Pants and a t-shirt, because it's comfortable lol
