I am sitting in the Washington Dulles Airport with an hour and a half to spare before my flight leaves for Charlotte, NC. After I catch my next flight in Charlotte, I will officially be London bound! The Charlotte to London flight is eight hours long. To occupy myself, I have several magazines, two books, and my iPod. Oh, I also have a crossword puzzle entitled, "The Totally Awesome 1980s." Last night when I was printing my boarding passes, I was given an option to add a small, printable form of entertainment. So naturally I chose this crossword puzzle. The answer key accompanied the blank crossword puzzle, but my friend Natalie could not suppress her inner-teacher and held onto it so I couldn't cheat. I might need to solicit some help from my fellow passengers. Some examples:

-Movie that inspired cut-off sweatshirts (10 letters)

-Popular - and now derided - men's hair style (6 letters)

-Featured on legs of women's jeans (7 letters)

I am thinking the second answer is "mohawk," but that's one of the two or three answers I actually know. Apparently the creator of this puzzle is not a fan of mohawks.

But let's be honest. The minute the plane starts moving, I'll probably fall asleep. Any form of transportation makes me incapable of staying awake (don't worry, it doesn't happen while I am driving). Unfortunately, falling asleep on an airplane usually makes you painfully unattractive. You know - that awkward position where your head is back, mouth is open, and the probability of you drooling on yourself is about 98%. The best part is you're usually not in a deep sleep, so you are somewhat conscious of the fact that you look ridiculous, but you're not awake enough to actually do anything about it. That's usually me on airplanes. I am totally that person. 

As for now, off to London!
