And I was honestly worried I would get turned away at the gate for being too fat for one seat, or that whoever was next to me would complain about the audacity of my thighs or arm to bump theirs.
pshaw! You are nowhere near large enough for that to be a problem. As for the bumping of thighs or arms, I am extremely territorial, so I'm like a hawk for that sort of thing, but as long as the person isn't deliberately encroaching on my space, it's fine. For example, the guy who had his foot under the seat in front of me. When I asked him to move, he said oh, well, I need to stretch out my leg. I replied "I'm happy to get up so that you can walk."
I hear humming Metallica helps.
I'm taking a few eps to get me through the trip.

I'm hoping there are some linguistically-bent Buffistas online now. I'm generally pretty good at dissecting language but I've never actually studied linguistics. So I'm not sure if I have the name of this right.
Yesterday I tweeted "...I'm have" but meant "I'm going to have". I then said that I'd left out half of a compound verb. But is it really a compound verb? Honestly, I'm not even sure what tense the whole phrase is because I don't think it's a simple future tense.
TLC has a show about little people who own a chocolate shop?
Spidra, it is the English equivalent of the simple future.
Ginger, wouldn't that be "I will have"? "I'm going to have" sorta puts the emphasis on action towards the future, it seems to me.
Wikipedia calls it the "going-to" future.
There's a way in which getting too deeply into language abstraction makes my eyes glaze (like the long discussion on an Irish list I'm on) but there's another way in which I want to delve into it. I would really like to know some of these more obscure (to me) names for things.

I fit between the lowered armrests. BARELY. With no amount of comfort whatsoever. I can easily see an overzealous gate agent hassling me. (And, as I think of it, wasn't Kevin Smith tossed off a flight even though he fit between the armrests? So it concerns me.)

I had to post that to Facebook immediately. I know more than one little girl who resembles that picture.
