Fight 4 Flight

I'm currently haunted by the combined scent of antibacterial gel and vomit wafting through my scarf as I attempted to sleep on US airways flight 755. 

Although I've always been interested in visiting New Mexico, I never thought it would be an Albuquerque pit stop to fuel up due to heavy headwinds en route to LA. This also meant heavy turbulence and the occasional attempts at visualizing my death in the sky, imagining I could better prepare myself if I picture the wings tearing off and the skyline flipping vertical. 

Thankfully, I am now safe et sound in Los Angheles...now I turn to the holiday battle with my mother, centered primarily around her desperate desire for me to socialize with people I don't remember ever having met, but who for some reason feel perfectly comfortable telling me what a "real career" should look like at this stage of my life.
