Decided to be
thefridayfive-y today
Feb. 9th, 2018 12:55 am1. Where did you go the last time you took an airplane ride?
California. No, wait, I lie. I went out to California and then I came home. Was that the year Ana pretended she didn't know me?
2. Are you a nervous flyer or a comfortable flyer?
When I was in kindergarten, my parents put me on a plane with my sister to go to Belgium alone. We did this repeatedly. No nerves here.
3. Window seat or aisle seat?
I will fight you for that window seat.
4. What is the worst experience you've had flying?
Excepting the bad earaches I had as a kid? That time I found out at the end of the flight that my seat didn't have to be so itchy, I was just sitting on ramen noodles.
5. What is the best experience you've had flying?
It's flying. As long as I can walk away at the end, I'm sure it's the best experience.
