Future Tense (Both Future and Tense)

Firstly, before I start the main part of this post, I want to comment on my emotional state yesterday.
Alot of you noted how unfair it was of me to sulk and be jealous that most of my friends were in Seattle and I wasn't. I agree, it was unfair. That said, I did it anyways. A part of me realizes that there'll be other parties and other "Big ChaoticMUX Bashes" that I MAY get a chance to go to, but.. this one was special.
I've been trying to get to Seattle to see my friends up there for three years. I have a ton of friends in Seattle (ChaoticMUXers, all) that I would love to meet. Yes, I will (hopefully) be meeting Marky and Scottydoggie in August and for that I am both excited and thankful. But I'd love to meet Soreth and Aldar and Aello and Destiny and Nissa and Charlotte and whoever else would like to meet little ol' me.
Actually, as amusing as this is, a good part of why I'm upset is Josh (on Chaotic. Not my brother.). When I heard that he'd snuck up there and gotten to meet Soreth and all that jazz... it just... straw that broke the camel's back.

Anyways, let's get to the bulk of this posting.

Hmmm...

I'm too productive. I'm getting my stuff done too quickly :P
On the plus side, I've got the dispersion coefficient and the assumed LOTOX barriers in. Yay, me :)
Now to figure out how I wanna handle these velocity vectors...

Vacation

I'm feeling better now that I'm seriously considering vacation plans. The problem is... none of these plans is looking too concrete.
Here are the thought I had so far and the issues with each.
1) I'd LOVE to go to Seattle. if I had the money, this is first priority place. The problem is the money. It's gonna take $400 or so dollars to get from here to Seattle. I'm not sure I have that kind of money to spend. Also, I'm slightly worried, based on a conversation I had with Marky, that July would be bad with him due to the possibility he may have to pay rent by himself. That may or may not be true, but it's something I'm keeping in mind.
2) Idea two was NYC. I've been there recently and I thought it was really cool. I'd really like to see the sites, maybe meet up with circe and/or pupcake. I could probably afford the flight, too. The problem is... I'm not sure I want to go all by myself. I DO have a cousin who has offered for me and a couple friends to stay at his place, but my mom told me that if I invited more than one friend I'd be "using him" and she'd kill me. It's not worth the fight.
3) If I wanted to, I could probably get in with kolys and dawnstar on their trip to Boston to see kareila and alierak. Let me first start by saying I wouldn't mind this, but I've met kareila and alierak a few times before and I've seen parts of Boston. I'd really like to go somewhere new.

I have no fourth idea. No place else I'd really like to visit or no other person I really can afford to see (Sorry, Rhayden. I'd fly to Winnipeg, but I bet that's about as expensive as Seattle.) is coming to mind.

So.. ideas? Suggestions? Alternatives?
Help a poor pixie find someplace COOL to go to this summer and someone cool to hang out with! :)
