Okay, so a couple of days ago (Thursday night to be exact), I flew out to California, which is where I am right now. I fly stand by as many of you know, so traveling somewhere is always an adventure. Well, I did end up getting on the flight and I saw some old friends who were on the same flight as me too. My friends, Jonathan and Darren were lucky enough to have been upgraded to first class, and I was lucky enough just to get a seat, but still dissappointed all the same that I didn't get to sit in first class. So, I walk by my friends comfortably seated in First Class, with their own liter of coke, and a steak dinner. I get back to my row, 16, and look for my seat, D. Low and behold! I get the even greater priviledge of sitting in a middle seat. So, I sit down hoping that I will be lucky enough to only have one person seated next to me, because as of right now I am the only one in my row. Not even two minutes later a dude comes walking up and says those dreaded words..."I think thats me sitting here" as he gestured to the window seat. "AHHHHHH!", thats what I said to myself inside, but on the outside I said, "oh sure just a minute" as I awkwardly got up out of my seat so he could get by. Once the gentleman was seated we both made some lame small talk to one another, joking about how small the seats were in the back of the plane,and he made me promise that I would wake him up if he started to snore. (yeah right buddy). So, this guy was really nice, but also kinda large. Not in a fat way, just in a big linebacker sort of way. Then a couple minutes after this another guy comes and sits down on the other side of me, thankfully he was a petitte man, cause lets be honest, I am not what one would call small.
The whole point of this story, that I am not so eloquently getting to is that the bigger dude next to the window was lapping over into my seat. Not his arm or stomach or side, just his thigh. The whole flight his thigh was oozing over into my seat, Where my thigh was quietly minding its own business keeping its fat to itself and then over comes lumpy. We sat the whole flight trying not to touch thighs, he kept adjusting and moving and trying to get his body parts on his side of the seat crack, but it was no use. Needless to say I had a bad case of sweaty upper thigh due to the fact that it was being suffocated by someone else's.
If the gentleman in 16E is reading this (which I am sure he isn't), I'm sorry. You were a very nice man and all, but next time could you request an isle seat instead of a window seat, that would work out better for all those envolved.

Ugh! I hate it when that happens! For America being the most obese country in the world, the airlines sure haven't taken all the research and news stories with pictures of fat people from just the neck down seriously. Maybe it is their subliminal way to get us to lose weight, but if that were the case, they should stop offering their services and make us WALK to our destinations. That could burn some major calories. I vote for cubicles on planes- just give us our own partition to put up beween seats so our own cellulite can rest against a peice of plate glass, and not someone else's sweaty thigh.
Either way, ugh.
At least your plane made it to its destination, rather than breaking in half and crashing on a mysterious island unknown to the world where you are hunted by a polar bear, a large boar, a noisy tree frog, a strange smoke monster holding secret images from your past, and the OTHERS. :)
I just stopped by because I, too, don't have many fellow Lost fans out there in the world. How are you liking it this time around? I'm going to be going through some serious withdrawlals in a few weeks when they take a 3 MONTH BREAK before airing the last three-fourths of the season. :(
At least I will have my new favorite show, Heroes, to keep me company.
what is this about taking a three month break? I am not okay with that. when is this break starting? but besides that I am freaking out about that, i love the season so far. its way better than the beginning of last season. while they are on break I guess I will have tou find another show to fill that time slot, or hey, maybe I will actually do something productive with my time instead of watching of TV...naaahh, probably not.
Well, I thought we got along quite well, but apparently you thought otherwise. Next time I'll just ask for a seat reassignment.
you were thigh kissing another guy?!?! i'm telling ryyyaaann!!
