sometime last year, i went to see my brother at uni and i had planned it so i could go watch a play, see my friend's exhibition and go for a concert. pretty packed day already and i decided to have an edible after since i was staying over at my brother's place and it whacked the fuck out of me on the train back. i was at asda about to get some food to deal with my munchies when i realised i din't have my wallet :( i tried re-tracing my steps, nothing. i put in a claim with the train operator's lost and found website, didn't hear any word back. a week later, i was on messenger looking at work updates and this guy had found it on the train and reached out to me about it the day it happened. he sent it back to me with everything in it and paid for the postage as well and didn't want anything in return. it was such a huge relief, big shout out to him.

apologies for the crazed look on my face - a 3 week long saga has come to an end with my phone FINALLY being delivered to me in Vienna. after getting my drink spiked in Lagos and leaving it in an uber, my phone was eventually recovered by my airbnb host (everyone say thank you stephanie!!!) and shipped to me in Berlin. then, somewhere along the lines it got lost by UPS (boycotting forever). it was eventually recovered and sent to me this morning. REMEMBER WHEN I SAID MY LUCK WAS GOING TO CHANGE??????

Once I was on a bike ride and ended up getting a flat tire pretty far away from home. Didn‘t bring a phone or wallet, so I was well and truly stranded. Thankfully an old man passing by on the trail let me use his old flip phone to call my friend and she was able to help get me home! S/o Maddie and that old man.

Shortly after 9/11 my family and I were going on our first flight together to Alaska. My dad and I went through security and went into the clam chowder restaurant at the end of it. But for some reason my mom and brother were still held up. We sat down and kept waiting until my mom screamed “HE HAS A KNIFE!!!!???????“. My dad went to investigate but my brother and mom were swarmed by the military and they told my dad he couldn’t come closer. So then he came back to the restaurant (there was a big window in the front of it where I could see everything unfold) and he was panicking and pacing saying that we were gonna get put on the no fly list. I just sat there calmly amongst our luggage while absolute chaos was unleashed before my little 9 year old eyes. This was not my first rodeo. My mom was still screaming and causing a scene and my brother was being taken away by troops. I can’t remember where my mom went next.. or where my dad was anymore. I just remember sitting there calmly and waiting to learn what my fate was. Apparently the men with the AK47s questioning my brother were very nice and felt bad for him cause he was so scared (probably more scared of my mom then them tbh). What happened is that he had packed his own luggage and decided there were three very important things to take with him.
1: a cup and balls Magic trick, which was three metal cups stacked on top of each other and encased in a purple velvet pouch
2. His clear game boy advance AND charger. The issue was that in order to save space, he wrapped the charger (still connected to the game boy) around the magic trick pouch.
3. A switch blade. Cause we were going to Alaska and what if he needed it?
Unfortunately it DID look like a bomb and a knife going through the scanner. They let him keep his magic trick and the game boy, but they confiscated the knife.
Anyways this pic is of me after we were reunited and weren’t put on the no fly list. ready to go to Alaska with my arctic animal tee.
