Now Boarding: Flight 4: Nuts About Southwest
 I know, I said before that I was going to talk about PSA next. But I’m going through some serious writer’s block. I tried. Seriously.

Now Boarding: Flight 3: My 5 Favorite Airports
I asked a Delta flight attendant once what her favorite airport was, and she couldn’t answer me. Maybe it’s because it’s one of those things where she’s been to so many it’s like a blur. Whatever.

(insert title here)
Hi, my name’s Amanda, and I’m an addict. I guess I should give a little background, even though I’m not good at it. Half the time I leave those little “About Me” boxes blank when I register on a message board. I’m 27, and I live in northeast Ohio. I was born and raised here. When I was 18 I moved to Los Angeles; I lived there for 8 years and now I’m...
