What happened then...

I'm not a conrep kind of person, so this isn't a conrep, just a summary of events that happened up to and including FKO. Every time people meet me they ask "How was the trip?" Which I understand why they ask the question, since it's the easiest one to do so, but it gets annoying after a while, because, fuck, it's a 24-hour journey from one side of the globe to the other stuck in economy class, so how could it possibly have been? So forgive me if I growl at you if you ever ask me that question in similar circumstances.
