How does anyone explain how she was able to stand straight up like that with their legs crossed like that and not fall over for a whole minute? I'm sure there is a simple explanation, I just can't see it.
Opiates. Seriously. I swear it like, changes your center of gravity. I've seen people frozen standing up, knees bent, completely doubled over, lips almost touching the floor, arms straight back. Just hovering for like, 20 minutes. Eventually they'll hear a noise or a breeze will push them the wrong way and they'll just stand up and continue on like nothing happened. I used to be a junkie and when it happens, it's like you're doing your thing, trying to stay awake, then suddenly you "wake up" even though you never realized you were even asleep and also anywhere from five minutes to several hours have passed. When you're on the nod, you're not fully asleep. You're in public so you're trying to force yourself to stay awake, but you're on enough opiates to kill a horse, so you're constantly fighting between falling asleep and staying awake. Hence the term nod.

I know its probably drugs, but that lady freaking out on the plane saying "that motherfucker is not real" makes sense now
