Well, of course, I would be delighted to represent you all.

^ I think I might have claustrophobia a little, too... I don't like planes because I can't escape them and feel trapped (plus I don't want to die that way). Same with cruise ships... so yes, definitely wouldn't want to be trapped in space lol
