Redeemer Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Updaaaaate! For those of you that don't read my journal, that is. XD My mother phoned me today with important information - I have an interview for my passport on Wednesday! Then after that, my passport should arrive on time! I need to take the bus to Glasgow, but that's okay because I can meet my mother for lunch. :3 And yes Psygonis, I should totally aim for Paris sometime. It won't even cost too much! I'm also putting all of the money I make from commissions into my plane ticket fund, so if anyone wishes me to draw for them, just ask for more information via PM. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salem Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 So I just wanted to ask you all, have any of you ever been to any forum-meets or anything? I wish I could do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myu Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 So I just wanted to ask you all, have any of you ever been to any forum-meets or anything? Another forum I go to has meets when someone saves up enough money to country-hop. I missed the one a few years ago because I was in Canada, but I've met a few people from online (including my husband xD) and there were also some forum friends at my wedding. It's fun as long as everyone can function without a computer in front of them. I've just always made sure I wasn't meeting them by myself for the first time, just to make sure if things went wrong I'd have the upper hand xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I agree with myu here. It's really important because you never know how this person can be IRL. He/she can have a whole different personality than what you expects he/she to have. I've met that kind of person and believe me, it's not fun. So bring a pal if you can! Other than that I wish you a lovely trip to germany! Thank you for your concern, this is a valid worry most people have about the internet. I've already booked everything, and although I'm travelling alone, I have also become very close friends with R3d's friends. In fact, one of them is giving me a place to stay, which is so, so kind. :3 I'm sure I'll have a wonderful time in Germany, thank you so much! :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorAllosaurus Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Members of SFO, let's remember this is me we are talking about here! That's what worries me in the first place... I kid, I kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fox Runner Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I hope you two have a good time! Kick back and have some fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I had my passport interview today! The guy was really nice, and he spoke to me for about 20 minutes. At the end, he said "Have fun in Germany!" so I'm assuming he deemed me safe enough. XD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redeemer Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Heehee, I know right? X3 Okay, so my flight pulls in at 2pm on the 18th, I think. I've never been on a plane, the more I think about it, the more nervous I get! But eh, there's a first time for everything. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psygonis Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 No worries, plane is statistically the safest mean of transportation currently available! ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Haha, I've heard this before. I take comfort in that, thanks Psygonis. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarita Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 It's not bad. I was really panicky on liftoff the first time I flew, I just had to close my eyes and breathe, the same thing they teach you if you get motion sick. X3 Because I was motion sick because I was panicking, bahahaha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Just remember, you are safer flying on plane than driving on conventional ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Oh I panic too, hahaha! I'll be sure to report back as soon as I get to R3d's computer. XD Thanks guys. :3 Actually, I look forward to experiencing flying for the first time! It's a challenge, and I never back down from a challenge.

OneUnder Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Here's a flying protip; always bring something to chew on! The changing pressures, while somewhat of a fun experience, will almost always mess with your ears; I've found that either chewing and yawning seem to negate this effect. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlow Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Also, flying, at least for me, seems less stressful when you seat by the aisle. You feel that you got more space and you can use the facilities better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redeemer Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Update: I just booked my flight! I leave at 9am on the Sunday, so I'm spending the night before in the airport, if that's allowed. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
