this Thursday
pulse begins to race and my body warms
up. As I pick up speed, I think that nothing
can stop me from finishing my run ... that
is, until I hit a slick patch of snow and
break into my Oh shit, Im going to fall
dance.
When I return home, my ass is sore and
there is snow in my pants. I take a long,
warm shower and vow to myself that I
will wait for warmer weather before I run
again.
After all, I can hibernate during one
out of four seasons. Right? Nope. It turns
out a sore bottom heals and memories of
snow in my pants melt away. Then again,
Ive never been one to learn from my past
running mistakes (Ive built up an immunity
to poison ivy after running through it so
damn much).
Justines story about running in the
cold on page 7 offers advice for runners
who brave Mother Natures frigid touch,
especially those runners I see every so
often in a T-shirt and shorts. I get chills
watching them from a window in my
heated apartment.
With a lot of the country sitting under
a blanket of snow, I hope you all are
staying warm and safe this winter. And if
you happen to witness me doing my daily
Oh shit, Im going to fall dance, dont be
afraid to applaud. Its awesome.

I sit inside my apartment debating whether
or not to go outside. Just when I think it is
safe, a snowstorm hits Lawrence.
I find myself working out less during the
winter. And even less than that when the
ground is covered in snow. As a former
cross-country runner, I have weathered
many terrains and temperatures, but now I
find myself weathering physical hibernation
brought on by the cold, not including the
work I put into getting to campus in one
piece.
I get restless when I am cooped up in my
apartment. My bones and muscles begin to
itch for physical activity. I allow myself to
get to the breaking point where I must run. I
put on enough layers to cause me to sweat
before I even leave the apartment.
Once the initial shock of sub-zero wind
chills subside I break into a slow jog. After
stumbling awkwardly on the snow-covered
sidewalks, I am able to pick up a rhythm. One
foot after the other hits the snow and kicks
back to propel me forward. I push through
the pain of cold air burning my lungs. My JONATHAN HERMES | ASSOCIATE EdITOR

kansas in heat // PROSTATE PLEASURE
Q. I have been with my boyfriend for four years and our sex life has been amazing. But he
recently told me he likes to have his butthole played with. Should I be worried?
Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn. graduate student, and Michelle MacBain, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student,
are the hosts of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Wednesdays at 11 p.m. on
KJHK, 90.7fm and at kjhk.org.
a. Dont be worried that he is now some
sort of sexual deviant. Think of his P-spot as
a different version of your G-spot. Academic
articles and popular press have written about
the strength of the orgasm that comes from
prostate stimulation.
I understand that his request might have
caught you off guard, but I recommend giving
it a shot if you feel comfortable.
// MIke ANDeRSON
a. Your boyfriend is curious about heightening
his orgasms, which can be a wonderful
exploratory experience as a sexual couple.
exploring fantasies supports the development
of intimacy and trust.
If you dont like inserting your fnger, you
can use thin vibrators or curved massagers.
If you make an effort and still have
apprehension, express this and Im sure he
will understand!
// MICHeLLe MACBAIN
how we met // MADDIE DAVIS AND CASEY LYTLE
> All great relationships had to start somewhere.
Maddie Davis and Casey Lytle, both
Scottsdale, Ariz. seniors, met during their
sophomore year of high school in a Dairy
Queen parking lot in Arizona. They both were
with friends, and they talked back and forth
between their cars. Though the two got to
know each other in high school, they did not
start dating until September of their freshman
year at the University of kansas.
The couple has maintained their
relationship by making time for each other
despite their busy schedules.
Since I play baseball we are hard-
pressed on time during the spring semester,
Lytle says. With a busy schedule its hard to
fnd the time to do everything right and please
everybody, but in the end you have to please
her frst because she is number one.
When they have free time the couple likes
to go to movies, try new restaurants and go to
concerts. They also enjoy relaxing together
and watching their favorite shows.
The couple took a huge step toward their
future together in 2010 when Lytle proposed
to Davis on their three-year anniversary.
Lytle, with the help of his three best friends
and his brothers, sent Davis on a scavenger
hunt in Lawrence. The clues led Davis to the
Campanile, where Lytle asked her to marry him.
Though they are only 22 years old, Davis and
Lytle know they want to be together for the rest
of their lives.
A lot of people say, you guys are too young,
but I dont think there is an age limit on being
engaged, as long as youre responsible, Lytle
says.

ing lot in high school, Maddie Davis and Casey
Lytle started dating in Lawrence and are now en-
gaged.

You go to the doctor for your yearly physical
and you go to the dentist twice a year for
teeth cleanings, but how often do you get
an examination to check on how your bodys
sexual function?
Sexual health is not something to ignore.
Ken Sarber, a health educator for Watkins
Memorial Health Centers wellness resource
center, says 50 percent of all sexually active
college students will get at least one sexually
transmitted infection (STI) by the time they
graduate.
Students can prevent such infections by
taking advantage of the sexual health resources
that Watkins offers. The health center has two
clinics, one for men and one for women.
The heal t h cl i ni cs see pat i ent s f or
contraception, STI treatment, screenings and
problems like pain or bleeding during sex. They
also work with Counseling and Psychological
Services to help treat patients having problems
like low sex drive.
Nicole Anderson went to the Womens
Health Clinic for her annual physical exam. She
chose Watkins instead of a gynecologist off
campus because of the convenience for her
to go there between classes. Gynecological
visits are always super awkward but somehow
the staff there succeeds at providing excellent
customer service and affordable options,
Anderson, San Bernadino, Calif. junior, says.
Also, confidentiality seems to be a main
priority there.
Watki ns offers affordabl e methods of
contraception, including more than 15 different
types of condoms. Students can purchase three
condoms for 50 cents.
If students cannot afford servi ces at
Watkins, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health
Department and the Douglas County AIDS
Project offers similar services for lower prices.
For example, Douglas County AIDS Project
offers free oral swab HIV tests.
Dr. Carolyn Johnson at Watkins Womens
Health Clinic says the Watkins business center
will help students fnd where they can get the
services they need for the best price, even if
theyre not at Watkins. All they have to do is call
and ask.
To avoid paying too much, Sarber says its
important to meet with a doctor and determine
whats wrong so you dont have to spend money
on multiple tests. If [doctors] can narrow it
down to one or two tests it can save [patients]
lots of money and time, and agony for that
matter, Sarber says.
Al l students, facul ty and staff at the
University can use the services at Watkins.
Full-time students paying the health services
fee can see a doctor without paying a doctors
visit fee if they schedule an appointment for
Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. What I tell students is when you call in,
ask ahead of time, am I going to get charged
with an office visit fee or is this time covered
under my student health fees? Sarber says.
The staff will also help patients get qualifed
for manufacture discounts on medications such
as the Gardasil vaccination to protect against
human papillomavirus.
Having unprotected sex can change your
entire life. An STI can make you infertile or
give you a virus that will never go away. I
think theres an attitude when youre young
that everythings just going to be OK without
really worrying about making sure that its OK,
Johnson says. But its a big beneft to you later
on if you take care of your sexual health as a
young person.
Your sexual health isnt just a personal
matter. It affects you as well as every person
with whom you have sex. Being honest about
your sexual background with a partner and
knowing your partners history as well is
important. Sarbers student group created a
questionnaire to help couples learn about each
others sexual history. Both partners answer
questions like, Have you ever had sex? How
many partners have you had? Did you use
protection every time? Have you ever had sex
under the infuence of alcohol? Have you ever
had any STIs?
That kind of just helps open up the avenue
before its too late, Sarber says. If [couples]
would have that conversation, a lot of things
can be prevented.
If youre not sexually active, you should still
take precautions so youll be healthy when you
do become sexually active. Johnson says that
if a person is not sexually active, now is the
perfect time to get the Gardisil vaccintion.
Youre not at risk of getting an STI if youre
not sexually active, but remember, sexual
activity is not just sex. Johnson says STIs are
transmitted by skin-to-skin contact.
Sarber urges students who are not sexually
active to stay strong and not be influenced
to have sex before they are ready. I think
something that stereotypically is thought of is
that everybody at college is having sex, and
thats not true, Sarber says. Theres a large
portion of college students that arent having
sex and not choosing to have sex for many
different reasons.
When ShOULD I GeT ...
An STI screening?
The Center for Disease Control suggests
getting tested for Chlamydia and HIV once a
year, but Johnson recommends getting tested
every time you have sex with someone new.
Its reasonable to go ahead and get checked
whenever you have a new exposure, Dr.
Carolyn Johnson says.
A mammogram?
Johnson says that women dont need to get
mammograms until they are 50, unless they
have a family history of breast cancer. If you
have had a frst-degree relative, like a mother
or sister, or several second-degree relatives,
like several aunts, who have had breast cancer
you should start getting mammograms when
youre five years younger than the youngest
relative was when she had the diseases.
A pap smear?
Although the recommendation used to be three
years after a woman frst has sex, it has recently
been changed to once a woman turns 21, no
matter how old she was when she became
sexually active, Johnson says. This has to do
with the immune systems ability to heal Human
Pamplona Virus [HPV] without treatment. After
a woman turns 21, she should get a pap smear
every other year until she turns 30. Women
who are 30 years old who have had normal pap
smears and negative HPV DNA screens should
get a pap smear every three years. Health protection: Watkins Memorial Health Cen-
ter ofers students exams and contraceptives.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS
// A tAttoo you dont like.

> If youre going to do it, be smart.
> Sometimes its hard to tell.
The folly of an impulsive youthful decision
can sometimes leave a lasting mark that time
will only fade but not erase. Such was the
case for Rachel Downs, Milwaukee graduate
student. Five years ago she decided the
Aquarius sign tattooed on her shoulder, which
she had loved at 17, needed to go. But how?
Laser treatment: If permanent removal
is what you want, be prepared to pay up to
ffty times the cost of the original tattoo.
Aestheticare, a Leawood medical spa that
performs 15 laser removals a week, charges
$100 per square inch of skin per session.
Depending on size and color, full removal of
the tattoo can take up to 20 sessions. We are
Mom always said, Dont go outside with a
wet head or youll catch your death of cold!
But what about being outside with a sweaty
head?
Megan Chinander, Shoreview, Minn., senior,
says she likes running outside more than on a
treadmill because the environment offers more
interesting things to look at than the four walls
of a gym. Chinander says the many terrains add
different dynamics to training. It is better for
your muscles in terms of strengthening when
running outside, because you often encounter
different surfaces such as hills, sand, grass or
snow, Chinander says. As long as people like
Chinander follow a few safety precautions,
they can fnd a safe way to exercise when its
cold outside.
Laura Webb, a KU Fit instructor at the Ambler
Student Recreation Center, says hydration is
just as important when exercising in 30-degree
weather as in 80-degree weather. Webb also
suggests dressing in layers in order to maintain
a comfortable body temperature. Chinander
says she always wears a hat and gloves to
help her extremities stay warm. The Minnesota
native also suggests always dressing warmer
busy because a lot of people are still making
stupid decisions when it comes to tattoos;
they dont understand a $100 tattoo could later
cost $5,000 to remove, Matt Taranto, owner of
Aestheticare, says.
Cover up: Maybe what you need is not less
ink, but more. The tattoo artists at BDC Tattoo,
938 Massachusetts, do at least one cover up
every week. It really fuctuates, Irene Walker,
BDC desk manager, says. One week we will
have one, another week we will have a dozen.
Downs decided to get a cover up. She has
spent the last fve years under the needle
transforming the zodiac symbol into a work of
art. I would rather turn it into something else
I enjoy than pretend it never happened, she
says.

than the weather. I can always take clothes
off, but if I get halfway through a run and
am too cold, I will have to turn around,
Chinander says.
VERDICT: Good For You!
//JUSTINE PATTON
Moving on: Tattoo removal is a costly investment,
but there are options for getting rid of unwanted
ink.
Bundle Up: Wearing weather-appropriate cloth-
ing when running outside allows for a safer and
more satisfying workout experience.

To celebrate the last week of artist Dan
Perjovschis featured drawing exhibition
Dan Perjovschi Central Court, the Spencer
Museum of Art and its Student Advisory Board
will host a Dunk & Draw event at 5:30 p.m.
Feb. 3. The event is free.
The museum encourages guests to make
their own drawings and discuss Perjovschis
drawings with members of the SAB, who will
be available to answer questions.
Perjovschi, whose work has been featured
at the Museum of Modern Art in New York
and the Venice Biennale, was the fall 2010
international artist-in-residence for Spencer.
During his two-week visit at the University,
he installed a site-specifc project by drawing
directly onto the exhibits walls with permanent
black markers. The simple images relate to
student life, current events and global politics.
His drawings will be painted over after the last
day of the exhibition.
For more information on Perjovschis work,

Despite packed schedules, theres one thing
no student can live without. No, not beer. Food.
Everybody deserves a home-cooked meal
from time to time. If your mom isnt close by to
whip one up for you, have no fear: the Merc
is here.
The Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St.,
often referred to as the Merc, is known around
Lawrence for selling the best in local fare,
organic foods and some of those harder-to-
fnd ingredients. But in the evenings, the fancy
dishes and cloth napkins are carted in, and
cooking classes begin.
Nancy OConnor, director of education and
outreach at the Merc, says the Mercs cooking
classes have been increasing in popularity,
thanks, in large part, to the teachers. The Merc
works hard to bring in the best of the best in
the food business; a recent class featured Free
State Brewerys head chef, Rick Martin.
The Mercs classes, which are typically
taught from 7 to 9 p.m., cost anywhere from $5
to $25 per person. Lily Siebert, an Education
and Outreach Assistant at the Merc, has taken
numerous classes, and says theyre well worth
the price. The classes are really wonderful
I didnt watch the State of the Union ad-
dress. I didnt miss it because of my political
ignorance or because I was busy with home-
work or friends. I was at home on Jan. 25,
2011, but the TV wasnt on.
For one week, I made the decision to fore-
go the enticing world of whatevers happen-
ing with the hard-haired people of New Jer-
sey. I have no idea who the Bachelor dumped
or who lost the most weight on The Biggest
Loser. I havent watched TV for several days.
I sure do miss it.

vision and American Culture, I have good

reason to want my daily fx. Mittell says TV may
be a detriment to some young people, but stu-
dents often can get a sneak peek at life in other
cultures and learn to appreciate different per-
sonalities. It all depends on how you use it,
he says.
I may not be using my TV time in the benef-
cial way Mittell described, but I defnitely felt
lost without it for the frst day or two. Everything
changed when I searched for other sources of
entertainment and found that I enjoyed the long-
forgotten activities TV often replaces: playing
board games, reading and having sex.
Am I ready to replace TV with Scrabble for
good? Probably not. According to the Nielson
Company, Im not alone in my TV dependence.
The average American watches 35.6 hours of
TV every week. Thats about fve hours a day.
Joey Beeler, Wichita freshman, says he prob-
ably watches four hours of TV daily. He says
giving up the habit wouldnt be as hard for him
as it was for me. Its not a necessity, he says.
Its just something to do.

New York has the anthemic Empire State

Also known as BeeJay McLoyd, B-Double-E
has a video titled Red and Blue, a shout out to
the University and Lawrence, with over 73,000
views on YouTube. But thats not the only thing
giving him attention. B-Double-E has opened
for 50 Cent, and hell be playing a show before

also has a new album coming out soon. You
grow so much being around artists and being
in the studio, McLoyd says. Im impressed
with myself and how Ive improved. You dont
believe you can get there til you get there.
McLoyd started freestyling in high school
and after seeing peoples positive reactions,
decided to go for a career in music. His frst
album, The Bill Self Project, debuted in 2008.
But doing solo work isnt McLoyds only focus.
He, E-MASE (Eric Mason), and Yung Dre
(Deandre Andersen) came together to create
Big Team, and theyll be releasing a mixtape
soon. We started doing a little free style
stuff, Mason says. That led to some studio
time and it got serious, Mason says.

what its like // To wreck your car
Ouch: Patricks car after he lost control, rolled,
and drove to a nearby residence to call help.
Contributed Photo
It was 12:15 p.m. and I was speeding, of
course, around Lawrence. I was also lost.
I set my phone open on the passengers
seat and looked over to read my friends ad-
dress again. When I looked up, I was headed
straight into the roundabout at Harvard St.
and Monterrey St. I turned my wheel hard to
the left oh shit.
The moment was slow, but fast at the same
time. I know its clich, but I honestly thought,
So this is what this feels like.
The car rolled once and landed back on
its wheels. Its hard to remember what hap-
pened then.
I was so concussed that everything was
a haze. I looked down and my lap was full of
glass. I didnt even know I had been injured until
blood started dripping down into my lap. I had
hit my head on the concrete when I fipped and
my arm was covered in cuts from the glass.
It was cool that I landed on my wheels be-
cause my car still ran and I actually drove it a
block and a half and parked it legally. I had to
go knock on random doors to get help since
my phone had fown out of the car during the
wreck. An older red-headed lady answered her
door and called an ambulance for me.
I remember that happened on May 17 be-
cause the next day was moving day. I had to
call my parents at 9 on Sunday morning and ask
for a ride. Oh and mention that I had totaled my
car.
Since then, Ive learned how to be car-less.
But whenever I ride with my parents around
a roundabout my dad will always announce,
See? This is how its done.

Q&A // Sherri DuPree BemiS of eiSley
Sherri DuPree Bemis is a vocalist, guitarist and lyricist for the Texas-born melodic indie pop
band Eisley. The sibling (and one cousin) band will release The Valley, their frst record in four
years, on March 1. Eisleys U.S. tour kicked off yesterday in Albuquerque, and stops in Kansas City,
Mo., this Saturday, Feb 5. They will play at 7 p.m. at the Beaumont Club, 4050 Pennsylvania Ave.,
(with Rooney and The Chapin Sisters). Tickets are $15.
Sherri spoke to Jayplay about the new album, touring and being married to the lead singer of
her favorite band.
What sets The Valley apart from Eisleys frst
two albums?
This new album is defnitely the most self-
possessed. Lyrically, its a lot more personal
and the songs are very much just about our
lives and our experiences, whereas on the
frst couple of records, a lot of it was fctional
because we were so young. So I think this
ones just the most open Eisley record that
weve ever written. I dont want to say grown
up because that sounds clich and silly, but it
really is the most grown up Eisley record that
weve written.
How long have you guys been working on
this album?
Its been a long road with this record because
we actually fnished it not last summer but the
summer before that, so right after we fnished it
we went through the whole label change. We
ended our contract with Warner Brothers and
we were looking for a new label and so it was
nearly two years ago that we completed the
record.
Its diffcult whenever you create something
and youre so excited about it and you want to
just put it out, but then you just have to sit on

it. Its been done for so long and we couldnt
play the songs live or anything just because
we didnt want anything getting out before it
was time. So, while its been frustrating, now
its so exciting because its been built up for so
long that now it feels so good that the records
coming out in less than a month.
You and your sister, Stacey, write Eisleys
songs. How many did you write for The Valley
and how did you both put your work together
for the album?
I think there are 11 songs on it, and I think
I wrote fve or six and Stacey wrote the other
half. Whenever we write for records, we both
write separately for the most part, and then
well bring all of our demos to the band and take
an even amount of her songs and my songs and
see whatever fts together the best to make the
most cohesive project.
Do you have a favorite on the new album?
Yeah, it changes for me a lot, but I love the
song Stacey wrote, Ambulance. That one is
one of my favorites. I think its really a powerful
song.
Which song, past or present, are you most
proud of?
If I was going to pick one thats not on this
new record, one that fans know, then itd be
the song Combinations off of our last record.
I think it just turned out really pretty. Then from
the frst record, Id pick Marvelous Things
just because that one has become such a fan
favorite. So I love playing that one live because
fans sing along so loudly and its so fun for me.
What artist is your favorite right now?
Im always the biggest Say Anything fan. The
lead singer [Max Bemis] is my husband so it
sounds like Im just saying that, but I honestly
was a huge fan before we even met. Its so fun
for me because like right now, hes just walking
around the house singing and playing guitar, so
it couldnt get any better for me.
What is your favorite part of going on tour?
There are a couple things. For one, just
getting to hang out with my band. Theyre so
funny and I love spending time with them. We
have a ridiculous amount of fun just hanging
out and driving around the country and I always
enjoy that part of it. Also, I love playing for fans
and getting to meet them. Because Im online
a lot, like Twitter and all that stuff, so I get to
talk to a lot of fans and have relationships with
them, so its so cool getting to go on tour and
fnally meeting these people that Ive been
talking to. To write songs and have them touch
people, and have them all come together in one
room and be singing these songs with me is so
fulflling. Theres really no feeling like it.
Whats the most important goal you have for
your music or yourself as a musician?
Just to keep inspiring people. Thats the most
important thing to me. So many people who
pour out their lives into their art and their music
inspire me, and I live off that; that stuff keeps
me going, keeps me inspired and helps me to do
what I can do. So if I am doing that for anyone,
thats all I want to accomplish.
Ive read that you do art in your spare time. Do
you see art becoming more than just a hobby
somewhere down the road?
Photography for me is just kind of a creative
outlet thats fun and I dont honestly know any
of the technical things that make photographers
good. That, for me, is just hobby. I dont know
that Id ever pursue it professionally, but I have
a lot of fun doing it. My art, though, is defnitely
my next biggest passion to making music. I have
it really good, too, because Eisley lets me design
all the t-shirts and posters, so theres always
something to do for the band. But if I didnt
have music, I think Id really try to get better at
illustrating and itd be so fun to illustrate and
write childrens books.

REVIEW

sTyle review // look on the bright siDe
Deerhoofs avant-pop comes off like the
progressive and manic scatteredness of
Marnie Stern or Hella, but less absurdly
frantic and much sweeter on the ears. The
San Francisco four piece has played noisy,
experimental and off-kilter rock with various
lineups since 1994, and Deerhoof vs. Evil is
the groups 11th full-length. The new album is
noticeably dancier and straightforward, but it
still has the fuzzed riffs and frenzied drums
that fans will recognize. Singer/guitarist
Satomi Matsuzaki still provides the whimsi-
cal and childish vocals that complete Deer-
hoofs signature sound, but overall the album
comes off a bit softer and smoother with less
aggression and abrasion.
The band recorded, mixed and mastered
the album in practice spaces and members
basements without outside engineers, mean-
ing more creative control. The record begins
with angular guitars that seem to argue over
what time signature to play in, but the song,
Qui Dorm, Noms, unexpectedly snaps into
a simplistic funk groove less than 30 sec-
onds into it. Right as it seems to sound like a
more typical pop song, it falls into somewhat
The best way to conquer the winter blues
is to add a splash of color to your dull winter
outft. Candy-colored watches, neon shirts
and pastel handbags are a few of the many
brights being devoured this season. You can
energize your wardrobe without spending
a lot of money; bright clothing and acces-
sories can be found all over Lawrence, and
at reasonable prices. Spending some quality
time on Massachusetts St., I found brilliant
pieces that complement well with any color

of a slower, folky and tribal beat with plucked
acoustic guitar, atmospheric synths and the oc-
casional ting of a triangle. Then once again,
the band cant settle down - the song drifts back
to the funk groove, but with more eccentric
plucked guitar work. This is all within the frst
couple of minutes.
Deerhoofs music, especially here, could be
described as A.D.D. its an aural pastiche
that constantly shifts and rarely settles down
and not for very long. I hear funk, metal, pop,
jazz, punk and garage infuences, but no one
song really adheres to those guidelines. Its
a completely unorthodox and unpredictable
brand of indie pop. Secret Mobilization has a
gritty central guitar lead and a repeated chant
from Matsuzaki that seems to symbolize the
bands strangeness: This is not based/This is
not based/This is not based/On a true story.

SPEAK
We hadnt seen each other in 68 days. Two
months, one week and one day: an eternity
when youre in love and 3,529 miles apart.
I had completed my dream internship abroad
in London writing for a travel magazine. My next
stop: Stavanger, Norway. I was visiting Ane,
a girl who started out as a foreign exchange
student at my high school and quickly turned
into a best friend. Her cozy cottage felt
like home, but with a few essential people
missing. Cory, the boyfriend, was one of those
essentials.
My fight back to the States left at precisely
6:45 a.m. The only problem was I wasnt on it.
Ane and I had gone to bed late the night before,
strategically sleeping at her friends house
located three minutes from the airport. She
assured me her alarm was set, I set mine for 5
a.m. but didnt open my eyes until 6:42 a.m.
three minutes before my fight.
Oh, no, Ashley, I think were too late, Ane
said.
Her alarm never went off. I must have slept
through mine.
At frst we didnt move. We both just stared
at each other. Then the realization set in. We
jumped up, threw on clothes grabbed my bags
and started for the door. I wasnt too worried.
I was positive the plane would wait for me. I
could still make it.
Ane hit the gas pedal and skidded to a halt
in front of the airports Unloading Only Zone.
It was 6:50 a.m., only five minutes past the
scheduled departure. I just had to get inside
the airport and I would be fne. This happened
all the time, right?
Wrong. I scanned my boarding pass at
the Self Check-In and the truth sunk in:
Flight #254 has already departed, sorry for the
inconvenience.
I was sorry, too.
Ane talked to the woman at the service
desk. It was all Norwegian to me. Even when
they were speaking English I still couldnt
understand what was going on. To make things
worse, Ane had a plane of her own to catch;
she was leaving for China that morning, so she
had no choice but to abandon me.
The worst part was telling Cory. It was 2 a.m.
his time when he got the call.
Cor? I am so sorry. I missed my fight.
Very funny. What time will you be here? he
asked.
I think I could have held it together if my
phone and computer hadnt run out of battery.
As soon as my connections with the outside
world died, my spirit died right along with them.
And, of course, I didnt have a Norwegian
converter and the only store that sold them in
the airport was located just past security. I was
able to convince the security guard to let me
through without a boarding pass but as soon as
I started throwing my 50-pound suitcases onto
the conveyer belt he stopped me.
Sorry miss. Carry-on luggage only.
Can I just leave it here for a minute? I
pleaded.
Sorry miss. All unattended luggage will be
confscated.
Im sure Im marked in an airport file as
emotionally unstable because I couldnt stop
the tears from coming. A few minutes later the
woman at the service desk told me I could fly
out at 6:45 a.m. the next day for no charge. I
started to sit down when she stopped me.
Miss, its only 9 a.m. You arent waiting here
are you?
Thats when it hit me: I had no other place
to go. For the first time in my life help wasnt
a phone call away. I had never felt so alone.
I pushed my hulking luggage into a corner,
stared at the wall and realized this was the new
reality. Throwing my coat over my head, I cried.
The pity party seemed to last for hours but
when I checked my watch, the only technology
that hadnt failed me, it was only 9:30 a.m. I still
had 21 hours and 15 minutes to go and I wasnt
going to spend it with my head under my coat.
I picked myself off the floor, grabbed my
belongings and went on a food hunt. Already
my hopes were getting higher, and not just
because I was on the escalator up to the only
restaurant in the airport. Im almost certain
the owner of the restaurant was an angel in
disguise. He watched my bags while I ran
through security, purchased the converter and
came back with about 20 hours to spare. I did
everything but sleep: I was terrifed of closing
my eyes. After all, thats what got me into this
mess to begin with.
Seth, Ryan, Summer and Marissa became my
companions as I watched episode after episode
of the The OC. When I felt my eye lids getting
heavy, I loaded my luggage onto a cart and ran
a few laps around the airport. I did everything
from jumping jacks to crunches on the airport
floor to stay awake. Sleep was the enemy. By
midnight. I was then desperate enough to pay
$20 for 30 minutes of Internet. I blogged:
Goi ng on hour 18 i n the Norway ai rport.
Whoever said you cant go home again must
have also missed his fight to America. I tried to
get money out of the ATM and accidentally took
out 2,000 Kroners. Which converts into $320.
Can you tell I havent talked to anyone all
day? Anyway, Im going to exchange them back
into dollars. Those are my big 2 oclock plans.
At 2:30 Im going to walk my luggage outside.
If I can ft my bags in the stall, I may go to the
bathroom at 3. Its going to be a pretty crazy
night! Better run, theres only 5 hours until
boarding time! New York here I come.
I had never cared less about a city and more
about a person. Cory was waiting for me and
that thought alone made me smile. Being the
frst in line to board, I had time to take one last
look at the airport: my temporary home. Just
because the day hadnt gone according to
my plan, it didnt mean my life had veered off
course. In 24 hours, I learned a lesson that cant
be taught in school: To make the most of a bad
situation, sometimes you have to take the coat
off your head and rescue yourself.
Though I stayed awake, the rest of my
journey to New York was a blur. When I made
it safely into my boyfriends arms, I closed my
eyes. I was fnally home.
