Flying?

Doesnt bother you at all?
Nervous wreck?
hate takeoffs?
Hate landings?


im a very willing flier. dont mind take off's or landings at all. i get a little nervous at 35,000 ft with bigger bumps.

also, i have never fallen asleep on a flight. ever!

Don't mind it at all, but it's a good excuse to down a few Xanax or Valium and have a couple cocktails.

Big bumps at "cruising altitude" can be a little unnerving though.

I've thought about the terrorist thing too lol....I sort of survey the plane as I walk into it too see if I notice anyone that looks suspect lol
