sign of "please leave me alone"
also a sign of "please leave me alone"
"Hey, what you reading? You like music, huh?"
"Hey! Hey, talk to them! They're trying to be friendly! Show some interest and appreciation!"
"...well, it's a start...we'll work more on the sincerity for next time..."

[And now, a public service announcement in case you were feeling overwhelmed by too much humor and not enough boring. :-]
For those of you who have longer social-battery-lives, I know that you might sometimes listen to music or read books to start a conversation, but others use them as emergency rations for the antisocial soul, since we've been told that they're a good way to get people to go somewhere else if they want to talk to someone.
Now don't get me wrong, I looove talking about my favorite books or music, and I can, on occasion, go on for hours about them (more on that eventually in a later post), but 99.9% of the time I've got the headphones on and the book open because it's the closest thing I can get to a recharge at the moment (aside from being rude and leaving the stressful situation).
This concludes the public service announcement. Please enjoy the rest of your flight.]
