Merry Christmas, Buffalo, and FUCK U.S. Airways

Buffalo- 1130 AM-

Sup guys, so I flew in to Buffalo starting Thursday evening at 7, ended up getting here about Friday at noon. Here it goes: We get to Ft Lauderdale Airport (with the Dog, mind you) on time and everything. All is going well. Then we find out that the plane we are taking is going to land about ten minutes late, putting our flight a little behind. No big deal. So, we drug Daisy up on dog sedatives and benadryl and are ready to be on our way. We board the plane and by the time we all sit down and are ready to go, the pilot gets on the microphone jaun and says "attention folks, we are going to be delayed indefinately for a security breach on the plane", so everyone is freaking out b/c somebody thinks it is something serious and shit... absolutely ridiculous. So, they escort some extremely drunk guy off the plane and about an hour later, he comes back on, and the pilot says that the guy had a screwdriver in his bag (which was also ridiculously oversized). So, at this point we are about an hour and a half behind. They also let the screwdriver guy back onto the plane and gave screwdriver guy his OWN ROW on the plane, so basically they reward him for being drunk, belligerant, and having a screwdriver. OK, whatever. So, we get in the air, Janelle and I will now only have about 15 minutes to catch our connecting flight in Charlotte, NC. We are about 10 minutes from landing when the pilot says we had run into some fog and we are going to circle around until the fog clears in Charlotte (oh... he also said if we had left a little bit earlier we would have beat the fog- THANKS SCREWDRIVER GUY!!!). We circle around Charlotte for about an hour, now we def missed our connector to Buffalo, and the plane was running low on fuel so we ended up flying to Charleston, S.C. So, we land in Charleston and we sit on the Runway for another hour b/c they didn't have the ground crew/ stairs to let the people off the plane! In the meantime, Daisy pisses all over the place b/c she hasn't been able to pee for about 5 hours. Also, everyone on the plane, including a few black guys is threatening to kill this Screwdriver guy. The black guys were hilarious though, I think one of them was like a rapper hoping for his big break, and the other guys were in his entourage, they were just yellin shit from the back of the plane telling the Screwdriver guy that they are gonna beat his ass, kick his teeth in, break his jaw, etc. So, it is now about midnight when we finally get off the plane and are let into the airport. We find out we have to get to Charlotte somehow, so I try to rent a car to no avail. We find we have to take a Bus to Charlotte. The bus was packed, and we didn't get our luggage b/c there wasn't a ground crew that could take it off the plane. So, we take the 2 hr bus ride from S.C. to N.C. Bus ride wasn't terrible, but that is mostly because I made Janelle hold the dog, Hahahhaha. Anyway, we get to N.C. around 3am and Daisy is going nuts, so I take her outside for about an hour and run around with her. She took the biggest shit I have ever seen in my life. 4 pieces of shit, each about 4-5 inches long throughout the parking lot in N.C. Hilarious. Anyway, we spend about 6 hours at this airport, we each got about 1/2 hr of sleep. Leave for Buffalo at 930 and get in to Buffalo around noon. We get Janelle's luggage the next day (mine was all carry on).
LESSONS LEARNED:
1. DO NOT FLY US AIRWAYS!
2. Picking up girls is SO EASY if you are carrying around a puppy
3. Fly early, direct flights
4. Emergency Exit rows are awesome
5. I seriously would rather spend an extra $100 to NOT fly US Airways

Anyway, Buffalo has been pretty lame. I don't have like any friends here anymore b/c they all went to different parts of the country and got real jobs and shit. Nobody really has a winter break. They got a few days off for xmas, and thats it. I was supposed to go to Tia's grad party on Saturday, but we got about a foot of snow on Friday and then found out we were gonna get another 2 feet on Sunday (which we did), so it was a good idea not to drive down to Penn State, cuz it would have been through at least 2 feet of snow on the way back. I have just been watching a lot of the office (1st 3 seasons). Also, I got my left wisdom teeth out, its not as bad as people say. They kinda hurt, no big deal. Vicotin is nice though. Hahah.

Lastly, Janelle's roomate Marisa got her identity stolen. Apparently some girl stole her purse, opened up a few credit cards, maxed them out. Maxed out Marisa's existing credit cards and emptied her bank account. Sucks eh?... Not really. The retard ID stealer kept going to the same mall and they ended up arresting her. Marisa gets all the stuff the girl bought and doesn't have to pay the credit card companies back. She does lose the money from the bank account though, which does suck. Oh, she is pressing charges and the girl should end up in jail for at least 5-10 years. Hahahaha.

K.... Merry Christmas all.

Love,
