I left my iPod at home , which is a real crisis for me . I had a hospital appointment this morning , so I hoped that I would be late enough to miss the most irritating people . However , I ' m sitting across from two extremely loud gum - snapping teenagers who ca n't seem to talk without smacking the window or drumming on the little table between them . One of them is actually astonishingly beautiful .

My wife and I took # 742 to Barcelona ( July 22 ) and returned August 3 on # 715 from Venice . We traveled in economy . Both flights had the worst food we have ever experienced on a domestic or international flight . This was in addition to the antiquated entertainment system and lousy service . Leaving we sat on the plane for one and 1/2 hours with no air conditioning . How long can this airline survive --- Any one else could not be worse .

We had a wonderful year together ( it was less than a year , actually ) , but it must have been something special because they 're close to the oldest friends I have . I do n't think any of their moms understood why three guys would hang around with one chick all the time ( well , we were innocent then ) . Aaron and I dated again in high school , sophomore year for about 5 months . Nothing happened though and I later found out that he was intimidated by me .

A: What happened with her and Aaron during highschool ?

All of us had minor tweaks to what we wore last year , becoming more authentic with each successive visit . We got there about fifteen minutes before the gates opened and got to watch the Welcome to the Faire show over the front gate . Soon after the gates opened , we were wandering through the streets of Bristol admiring the items in the shops and interesting sites at the Faire .

A:
Why has the narrator decided to make tweaks before the Faire ?
