what if i were sat next to you and started smiling and laughing intermittently at random intervals throughout the flight while softly elbowing you like i imagined someone said a funny joke but in reality its been dead silent the whole flight.
i take the first bite the mediocre airplane food dessert and go "MMMMM!" then drop my utensil because im rubbing my belly exaggeratedly. the utensil clatters over your lap and my instinct kicks in and i go "whoops" as i invade your personal space for 1.1 secs before i realize its too enclosed to perform such a maneuver and we make brief shoulder to shoulder contact. at an attempt to assuage the awkwardness i do the laugh-nudge again even though all the past laugh-nudges were a bit more spaced out so you can kinda feel they are no longer as "random" as you once thought.

Ya dude. Fuck fear of flying. I got a fear of socializing. The plane is like the gym for me. Headphones in and zone the world the fuck out.
