Comings and goings

I flew in from Vancouver late last night. When I got on the plane I was immediately disappointed with the level of attractiveness of the flight attendants, they were more the motherly type and that's not what I look for in flight attendants. I mostly stared out the window, looking for shapes in the clouds while listening to my iPod, but then as the sun set I decided to check out the movie offerings. I chose 'Something borrowed' cause it looked simple and probably stupid but actually I found it quite poignant. With about half an hour to go in the flight my screen and a few others around me cut out. There was an uproar, mostly from the woman beside me, I accepted this as fate and gazed out the window. They got it working again and I continued watching but as we descended, a portly flight attendant told me my type of headphones cannot be worn at this time. I put them around my neck but that wasn't good enough, they had to be 'away'. I didn't understand but felt I would lose this argument. So, I never saw the end of the movie, which actually made it even more meaningful as the movie was all about fate and choices and what is meant to be. I got off the plane and got my baggage. I walked through the sliding doors, imagining that my love or my crush or someone I'm dating is waiting to pick me up, you know, like they do in the movies. But, no one was there, so I went outside, pulling my suitcase behind me, got on the bus and headed home.
