Overworked graduate student. Archaeologist. Attracted to all things that are the color green. Propensity for randomness. Queen of sarcasm. Easily amused, entertained, and distracted. Made happy by climbing on rocks, playing music, and drinking red wine (preferably, complimented by a bowl of ice cream).

I'm a dive bar kind of girl.

I love traveling, and I love people watching in airports, but I am not a fan of actually flying. Not one bit.

  • Take-offs.
  • Landings.
  • Airplanes simply were not designed for tall people... so uncomfortable
  • ... because of the above, I am incapable of sleeping on planes
  • Screaming babies. Oh my god. Seriously people, they make sedatives for a reason.
  • Coughing, sniffling, itching people.
  • Strangers who really do not get the hint that are you not interested in talking to them about meaningless crap for the entirety of your flight.
  • Stupid peanuts.
  • That damned curtain they insist on closing to separate first class and coach.
  • I'm always cold on planes, no matter what.
  • Turbulence.
  • $8 beers.
  • Airplane bathrooms... really, who likes these things? I will try my damnedest not to pee for an entire flight just to avoid those bathrooms.
  • People who bring smelly food onto the plane.
  • Bad movies. Almost always.
  • Fidgety people sitting behind me, constantly knocking into the back of my seat.
  • Body odor.
  • Snarky flight attendants. (Not that I can really clame them, I'd hate to have their job... but, still.)
  • Large groups of people flying together... and then walking all over the plane and/or screaming over others' heads in order to talk to each other during the flight.
  • Anyone who wears heavy perfume and/or cologne on a plane. If you ask me, they should be forced to sit next to the bathroom.
