in transit

ok so i copied this from an email i just wrote to cc. anyways:

i'm in transit like always.

somehow mixed myself up on the days, and managed to get a day behind schedule, which aint no big deal except when you got a 2 am flight to ethiopia to catch. so some chaos ensued, but tonite i am off on a 4 am flight to ethiopia, a few hundred dollars and many fairly amusing hours later.

all to see mr yttes ingag (spelling things backwards so it dont pop up on no google search), which actually was quite worth it, hes quite a piece of work, a bit loco, but in a good way, his foundation, the neerg eert noitdnuof , has the motto: The Promoter of the Massive Vegetation. How can you not love that?

so last nite i managed to get into the airport even tho my ticket was for the day before (not easy to do in india...must be a BONA FIDE passenger to enter airport. they like that word). i was thinknig there was another flight that i could squeeze myself onto, but, contrary to what i had been told, there was no such flight. And, being india, once your BONA FIDE ass has made it into the airport, there aint no going back out. So, i was in the rather amusing position of trying to convince some rather unconcerned dudes with aging weaponry to let me out of this airport. It took a trip to the airport manager, who, not knowing i understood hindi, was saying some pretty funny stuff along the lines of what idiot let this guy in, etc.etc. Eventually mr airport manager makes a call and i am free...

so now i off to ethiopia for 8 days instd of 10. should be good. gots to see my dad who happened to be landing in delhi an hour after me. lots of happenings and chance thingems. my grandma happened to have a heart attack while i was at my cousins house and they thought it was the end. shes ok now tho. wasnt really a heart attack. ava happened to be in banaglore at the same time as i. well i was supposed to be gone but i got a lil confused b/c of the pain meds. anyways. loveya
