I did not sleep at all on this flight. Literally. It takes about 8 hours to fly from Philadelphia to Dublin, and I, for whatever reason, opted to stay awake the whole time. It ended up being okay, as I was far too excited to sleep, and I had too much adrenaline once I got here to fall asleep. Oh well.
This was largely due to the aforementioned GlU.S. Glairways' need to switch planes on us before we left Philadelphia. This plane was smaller, and while I fortunately still had a seat (some others were not so lucky) it was a middle seat rather than the aisle seat I'd reserved. I was far too tired and anxious to go to make a stink, so I decided to roll with it. I ended up being seated between a high school-aged girl who snored the whole time and a woman who looked like a cross between Skeletor and Cruella DeVille. Both were nice enough, but the girl was a loud snorer, and the Villainous Mash-Up wanted to talk the whole time until she fell asleep. GlU.S. Glairways made up for my previous flight's mistake by showing TWO films this time. The first was Invictus, which I've already seen, followed by Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, which I have also already seen, except when I saw it, it was called Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone.
The flight was uneventful, and really just consisted of me trying to will myself to sleep or distracting myself from thinking about not sleeping by reading or staring at either movie with the sound off.* All in all, it was just a placeholder until I could get to Dublin and start doing things.
*I must say, Percy Jackson was kind of fun with the sound off, as I imagined all the male characters talking like Tom Waits and the female characters talking like Carol Channing. Someone should make that movie. I'd see it in theaters. Twice.
