My flight was at 9 PM, and I said goodbye to my dad at 6 because of the insanely long security lines. That day, I visited the dentist, my brother and my grandma for the last time before going. I saw my brother eat for the first time!

As of the present I'm waiting outside the boarding gate for my flight by myself (darn nerve wrecking). Just now a cute girl my age just sat down next to me, AND SHE WON'T EVEN TURN MY WAY, so all I can see out of my peripheral is her beautiful hair. She's playing this game or something... She didn't even ask as she sat down, like, am I this transparent? I guess I'm not so attractive after all...

Will update this post after landing in LA

...also she smells good.

UPDATE: Nearing 11 PM in LA, July 15

So it turns out, the flight was dreadful. I had initially hoped for ANYONE but a teenage girl as my neighbor on the plane. And in clear favor to my giggly blog readers, it just had to happen (see pic). My neighbor(s) have an ENDLESS number of horrible idiosyncrasies. After the plane took off, the leftmost two girls in my row pulled out food after food that they had bought in the shops, no doubt the daughters of some rich Shanghainese businessmen who're shipping them off to LA. Then they gossiped for literally, nonstop 4-5 hours, discussing everything from teachers to boys to whatever. My neighbor on my left is slightly more disciplined with her noise, but she has an extremely efficient bladder, interrupting me every time I get into a comfortable position. But the worse thing is, she's extremely picky and demanding of position. It took essentially 6 hours before she finally fell asleep and stopped moving. For 6 hours, she would move at least 3 or 4 times every minute, whether it's twitching her leg or jerking her arm, always resulting in contact with my body. When I try to lean to the right, there would always be an inconsiderate passer-by every 5 mins or so, making it impossible for me to sleep (which is good for jet lag purposes).

Worse, I have this horrible problem of not being able to do math in front of girls, much less 3 of them, two of which are extremely judgmental. Also the desk was tiny and my space was further compromised by the ever-so-fickle nature of my neighbor's body (at one point she had her head on my desk like it was her pillow).

So to kill most of the time I ended up lip-syncing to Kpop songs as well as fantasizing Tiffany Hwang of Girls Generation as my girlfriend and narrating in my head a lot of different love stories (personal stuff, sorry can't go into specifics), which resulted in saliva unconsciously dripping out of my mouth a few times, which the two leftmost girls in my row had plenty of fun judging about. I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O21xdKXW_F4 a total of more than 15 times, as it was the only Kpop video I managed to download beforehand (blame Chinese wifi).

Another awkward thing that happened was before the second meal. While the three pig-faced girls next to me were dreaming about their imaginary boyfriends, the food cart came, so I tapped my neighbor. No response. Tapped louder. No response. I then tapped her a bit too hard, which may or may not have made her feel her bra being touched. Result? She woke up, and I eyed her friends meaning she should probably wake her friends. She gave me a what-in-the-world-were-you-thinking-*swear*-*swear*-dude look and proceeded to sleep (though she didn't really fall asleep after that so I kind of feel guilty).

Anyways, right before I was about to fall asleep I suddenly spotted that girl who sat next to me at the airport a few rows a head, and fantasized about her for the rest of the flight while listening to slow romantic songs. Rip. Oh well, see you 3 annoying girls never.

Then my aunt picked me up and we went to a pho restaurant to pick up some spring rolls. My brain died for a few seconds from excessive pleasure stimulation after eating my first bite.

Anyways... I should probably sleep now, if I want to turn this jet lag thing around. :\
