- taking chuck palahniuk's 'rant' as my plane read without having read it before, getting about halfway through, spending the rest of the flight low-key anxious about the obscenity laws at my destination
- affecting a vaguely texan accent in ireland because i was worried my newfoundland accent would come across as fake irish
- every church youth group conference as a teen. just all of them. too not-christian for pentecostal mindfuckery
- losing literal hours in toronto because i kept getting convinced i'd taken the wrong train and going back the way i came only to find out i'd been on the right train the first time
- falling asleep on a plane, waking up with my head on the shoulder of the guy next to me, realizing i drooled on his windbreaker and trying to figure out if i should try to gently wipe it off or just hope it air-dried before he woke up
- cleaning guy in my hotel hit on me so i spent the last three days of my fieldwork trip staying out for like 12 hours a day just to make sure i missed him, and whenever i was in public spaces in the hotel i would call my own voicemail and pretend i was having an important conversation with someone that i couldn't interrupt
