I've been to the Dallas DFW airport many times. This is the only time where I had to spend like 7 hours here. Apparently because of bad T.O weather, my flight was canceled and I had to go on the 12 o'clock flight to Toronto. In retrospect, I should've just gone back to the Park n Fly 10 minutes away, drive home, sleep, re-park, then back to the airport. Should've, could've, didn't. I slept for 3 hours on the chairs then woke up to have one of the most disgusting breakfasts ever. I thought I could cheer myself up by doing some airport shopping in LV or Gucci, but this airport has no class and does not have anything like it. So there goes that idea. Maybe the good stores are in another terminal...
From what I hear, the weather is not that bad in Toronto, maybe it's an en-route thing? Or perhaps there weren't enough people taking the 6:30am flight so they decided to consolidate - bastards. Either way, there goes 1/3 of my vacation! I should've left last night. Back to that again*sigh*. It is 10am now...2 more hours.

Southern Belles
Incredible. I have never lived in a place where women dress up to go to the grocery store. I've heard that it is difficult to make female friends here, now I know why. The women here are all in competition with each other! You cannot walk out of your apartment or house in "comfortable" clothes. People will wonder what is wrong.
I went out Saturday night, and I can't honestly say I was all "decked out", but it was decent (how does one go wrong with jeans?). I walked past the lobby where there were 3 girls waiting for their ride (or whatever), short skirts, skimpy top, high heels (alright, I know you boys are thinking that there's nothing wrong with that) ... it was COLD that night! So as I walked pass, I was going to be neighbourly and say "hi", but one of them gave me such a dirty look I got scared (well not really). So I'm thin (and she not so much), but seriously. Either that or she was giving me a look for my oh so simple outfit. Guess the yellow biker-style leather jacket isn't "in" in the South.
The outfit of the night was this chick in a SUPER short (and I mean so short you can literally see up her ass without bending over) skirt. She must have forgotten to look into a mirror. Where were her friends (at least I have that excuse...haha). Apparently I was not the only one who noticed her skanky outfit - another female, obviously not from the South by her accent, was also making the same comment to her bf as I was to my friend. So we got to chatting and I voiced my disbelief. She completely agreed and says it's difficult at first if you want to make female friends - "you can't walk out without feeling like you're competiting". We swapped contacts at the end of the night - maybe I'm on my way to making some more female friends.
I must admit though, there are a lot of pretty females here - especially blondes. People here are good looking, I guess if you're a female it's hard not to feel intimidated/insecure by those around you...I guess I'll just have to play my exotic card. Hahaha....
I've also discovered something about myself this week - I like sunflowers!
