I just got home from visiting my family in America!! It was good fun!
The journey back was pretty hectic though - for starters, I should have been home yesterday but delays meant that I couldn't catch my connecting flight. So I rearranged for a couple of flights for the following evening (with no charge, luckily). The flight from Indianapolis to Washington Dulles was okay, I guess. Nobody on the plane said please or thank you and there was one dude who didn't know how Venn diagrams worked but it was okay I guess.
The real fun began at Dulles though!! I saw that I hadn't been allocated a seat, so I was in line at the front desk to try and get one sorted, and I was kinda pressed for time. Luckily I did get allocated a seat - 21C - and I thought everything was sorted. However, I went on the plane and saw someone was sitting in my seat. Oh. Luckily the man sitting there was SUCH A GENEROUS SOUL and he allowed me to take the free seat in business class!! I was honestly just... speechless. I really didn't deserve this at all. I really aspire to be as kind and selfless as him when I'm older.
And I know that guy can't even read this BUT THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AAAAAAAAAAA
I wrote a diary of what happened, you can find it under the cut.
(All times are UTC-4)
22:41 - they handed me hot towels??? What do I even do with these? Am I some sort of princess???
22:46 - THESE PULLS OUT TABLES WOW. Super hi-tech!!
22:47 - is it illegal to fart in business class
22:57 - they brought out some nuts.
23:02 - and then they offered me more with this cute little shovel tray thing omg!
23:07 - I don't know what these little crescent-shaped ones are called bu they're nice. Saltier than Ronald Mcdonald's ballsack though.
23:09 - asked the flight attendant to offer the man and his wife some champagne. She gave me a smirk and said "we'll take care of it".
23:11 - actually I think ballsacks taste more sweaty than salty. I guess I'll find out next time he catches me at KFC.
23:14 - I think that earlier message was a bit big-headed. I'm grateful that I was given some nuts to suck/snack on. I'm grateful for this whole ordeal. It's just that I still can't believe its happening to me.
23:18 - is it an instrumental if it has backing vocals?
23:21 - the two people either side of me are grown, functioning adults. I'm sitting here on my phone taking pictures of dumb stuff.
23:28 - what I thought was dinner was actually a starter! With three sets of metal cutlery!! A salad with cheese in it (that caught me off guard) and salmon with pubes on it. Salmon tastes like dirty fish water.
23:41 - my battery is draining extremely fast... I might not have enough to log the whole trip.
23:43 - I JUST SPOTTED THESE CUTE LITTLE SALT AND PEPPER POTS OMGGGG
23:47 - dinner! A huge piece of chicken (I think it was a thigh?) with some pasta and a pile of green stuff. Really good!
23:57 - if it sounds like I'm being rude with the descriptions, I'm not trying to be, I just don't know what I'm eating. It's good stuff though!!
0:00 - I'm not an Apple fan but the battery life on my iPod nano is really good. My Nexus 4 however...
0:04 - taking my shoes off. Get the nose pegs out.
0:10 - in the music menu there's an option to listen to the captains. Creepy.
0:17 - now they replaced my cup of water with a bottle. I guess its these thoughtful little things that make it costly.
0:18 - ICE CREAM OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
0:20 - time to destination: 4:20
0:24 - that ice cream was gorgeous. Mmmmmmmmmmmm...
0:27 - bedtime. The chairs go allllll the way back too!
3:46 - woke up. That was actually rather comfortable. I think I dreamed as well.
3:51 - I can't think straight though.
4:20 - we're 21,594 feet in the air. That's pretty... elevated. B)
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: LGBT+ CHIPTUNE COMPILATION ALBUM FOR CHARITY
Hello there, Internet Queers and Allies!
We’re putting together our first ever chiptune compilation album! A sizable portion of all money made (anything not being directly funneled back into the organization to pay for printing, postage, venue fees, etc.) will be donated to a queer-friendly charity TBD.
Our criteria are simple!
-Must be an original chiptune work (no covers unless they are of your own work and not owned by anyone else)
-Must be a previously unreleased work
-Please submit a brief (a couple lines is fine) bio about you and your place in the LGBT+ community. Allies are welcome to submit!
-Send an email to [email protected] with “SUBMISSION” and your artist name in the subject, your song attached, and your bio in the body of the email.
-The top 15(ish) tracks will be selected.
-THIS IS AN UNPAID COMP. If we magically make a ton of money, you bet the first place some of it will go is back to the artists who make this possible. But it is, for the most part, a work of total charity.
I don't normally like making covers, but I've been listening to this OST recently and Sonic 2 is one of my favourite Sonic games for sure!!
This was pretty quickly done, there's probably some inaccuracies in places (excluding my own additions, of course!!)
Thought I'd record Famitracker footage for variety.
