That last sentence was an unexpected surprise!

I could not handle the orange level of Epcot's Mission Space, so I can't imagine I'd do well in a real life take off, lol.

What could possibly go wrong? Just strap in on top of a sky-scraper of chemical propellant and wait for it to take you to the empty vacuum of space where no one can hear you scream. EZ and harmless!

Oof. And that's the reason why my answer to #1 is, not until they reach Star Trek levels of safety, and I don't mean redshirts.

2. Once I turned on the radio and happened to overheard a live interview of Will Wheaton. Unfortunately I was late enough that all I heard was "Will Wheaton, thanks for being here today." "My pleasure." I was much put out.

3. Honestly, I like driving in the rain, as long as it's not too much of a downpour. There's something about being out there under the grey sky, in the rain...I don't like getting wet, though. C'est la vie.

In answer to your questions:

1. I don't particularly enjoy flying, and space travel is just flying but worse. Also, I wouldn't want to be on another planet if there's ever a family emergency.

2. I'm prone to being late, so it happens more than I'd like. Once I was over two and a half hours late for a rehearsal dinner. I got horribly lost.

3. Rainy days are nice for chilling at a coffeehouse for a few hours.

Flying and getting lost are two of my most irrational fears so youre speaking my language!

It's why I hate that stupid reoccurring dream about being lost in the airport so much. Thanks, subconscious.

I didn't realize until too late that a Crunch is supposed to be 250 words. But once I had the idea, I couldn't get rid of it. Thanks for the prompt! :)
