• So I’m going on spring break, but my flight isn’t till liek 5:58…..that leaves me with a lot of time since I could not get a good (LATER TIME) ride to teh airport. So I’m chilling here…trying to figure out what to do.

  HENCE I’M GOING TO COME UP WITH A LIST (MY OWN IDEAS AND OTHER PEOPLE’S) OF WAYS TO ENTERTAIN YOURSELF. especially since I have a 2 hour layover once I finally get to this flight :S

  NOTE: I recognize not all of these would be plausible, but I’m having fun amusing myself…

  1. So I just saw an employee driving one of those airport golf cart things….that would be an awesome way to entertain myself.

  • race throughout the airport on them
  • drive around in them and be obnoxious
  • crash into stores in them

  1.  (ok, xanga hates numbering and bullets but that’s ok!!)
  2. go to one of the stores with really expensive stuff, go in and ask about their products like you’re going to buy something and then just walk away
  3. OMCHEESE this airport has this thingy where ythere’s a picture of these umbrellas made up of smaller umbrellas and when you walk past it/disturb it in anyway you get really awesomeness of the parts scattering everywhere!!! SO THAT CAN KEEP YOU AMUSED FOR A BIT IF YOU’RE NOT AFRAID TO LOOK KINDA STUPID
  4. record the annoying voices that constantly are reminding you not to smoke, leave your bags etc and make a movie or audio tracks (extra points if you can somehow make it a rap)
  5. run through the hall and race people (this sounds like it would get someone in a tonnn of trouble…!)
  6. if the airport in question has those treadmill type moving platforms stand on them until they take you across, keep going around in circles….also try to recreate OK GO’s music video…
  7. look up funny youtube videos (what can I say…I’m VERY creative!!)
  8. ask the people around you where you’re going
  9. if it’s a holiday (like today…it’s pi day!) ask how people in the gates around you are celebrating
  10. PLAY THE NUN GAME—-If you see a nun, Asian, Muslim woman, or anything else that gets you excited and full of fun and awesome….YOU WIN! (It was originally just nuns and my friend came up with this one, I swear!! There’s a nun that goes to school with us and apparently no one ever sees her around campus though I had a couple classes with her last semester and history with her this semester, so she made it a game….)
  11. Calculate the amount of money you paid per mile on your ticket (I don’t feel like don’t this right now, but it would certainly take up time)
  12. count the number of people around you
  13. count the little children….THEY ARE SO LITTLE
  14. FIGURE OUT WHO HAS THE BEST GATE/PLANE DESIGN….i’m flying with united today, but I think southwest has the prettiest planes (or at least the most unique looking), American airlines ties for second on that imo, so far the gate that I can’t remember from before that had special comfy chairs has been my favorite
  15. wonder where the lady that’s supposed to help board people is…..there really are no other flights in this gate until 5ish????
  16. reminisce about Florida, because that’s apparently where everyone around me is going D:
  17. watch the planes take off (this airport and apparently many others has a special area for this!)
  18. see how long you can resist before you touch your computer (AKA see if you can entertain yourself without technology…)
  19. see if you can sunbathe through the window in the gates (which I am totally doing right now though it is completely at the expense of not having super great visibility on my screen)
  20. write a blog post (haha)
  21. create backstories for the people you see (this is a fun game though depressing if you’re very perceptive about what other people deal with)
  22. read about airplane stuff and flying
  23. chek your email, facebook, twitter etc 10+ times
  24. look up crafting stuff an wish you could craft.. :S
