I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a pretty laid back guy. Never was much for pretenses. I tend to be who I am wherever I am or whomever I'm with. Right now, I'm a flight attendant which defines a lot of my life. I have a pretty strange schedule. I could be up all night due to night flying or I could be home in bed at 8 pm due to a long day's work. I don't go out as much as I want to - definintely not as much as I used to. I'm out of town a lot or else spending the evening with my boyfriend on the nights when I'm in town. I'm always looking to make new friends, though. Just be willing to be patient. :) It may take a while before our schedules mesh enough to meet.Also, my new adventure is my exploits as a writer/copy editor. Starting back in December 2006, I began writing for Outlook Magazine and it was amazing! Then, I became Senior Copy Editor and really enjoyed that, as well. I didn't realize how much I would love getting involved in something like this. I had an amazing time traveling WITH A PURPOSE, meeting wonderful people around the world and putting my college degrees (and corresponding student loans) to use! The magazine has sadly gone under, so I'm looking for a new editing/writing position. If anyone wants to offer me some freelance writing or editing, I'll take it!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Someone - anyone. Okay, I take that back. I'm a little bit picky. :) I try not to be, but who am I kidding? Be around my age or at least close, because I want to have SOMETHING to talk to you about. I never know what to say to these guys who are retired. I want to meet people who would make great friends, but who are okay with the fact that I'm not in town incredibly often, so we may not be hanging out every day! If you're cute, it never hurts. (Surround yourself with beautiful people - that's my motto. Hehe.)

Not In Use

Upon arrival to our gate today, everyone stood like normal, going for their items.  A certain passenger reached for a box, but it slipped and ended up swinging into another male passenger's crotc...

What a day!

Okay, two stories from today's flight.  Both are true. People do the funniest things.  It is often said (though not by me, of course) that when people check in their bags at the airport, the...

Do you mind . . . ?

On my flight today we were showing a movie. It's always nice to have entertainment on flights because it keeps the people in their seats!  So, I'm walking through the cabin after the movie f...

Made For Each Other

On our way to Philadelphia today, we were in and out of pockets of turbulence.  I made several announcements requesting that people should remain seated and I also took my seat.  (I've alrea...

A Proud Moment

As the passengers were deplaning, I had a nice older lady stop and smile. "I'm flying your airline from now on!" I have to say that it always makes me a little proud when I hear people say that: I fee...

Eh? What did you say?

It must be a bad day for hearing.  (But, at least it made me smile!)  As we were going through the cabin with our meal service, all we had were the snack boxes.  Michael (a good friend ...

A whole new language

Sometimes when I'm on the plane, I begin to fear for the future of our country (and our world).  These days, pretty much everyone flies: from the poor to rich, the educated to the uneducated, the...

Generations

I had a couple of passengers this trip that just reminded me of the importance of family - and our responsibility to one another. First off, a really fragile-looking man boarded the plane with another...

For the Love of Safety!

There isn't much of a story here, but I thought it was so adorable that I had to mention it.  Today we had a REALLY early flight out of Sacramento, so most people were asleep for the majorit...
