Wow

So yesterday was another good day and an extremely good second date.

My day STARTED at 4:15 thanks to *grumblegrumblegrumble* cattsses
It's a damned thing they're cute. Otherwise, I imagine I'd have killed them by now.
Tried to sleep some more, failed. Wandered downstairs, watched American Pie 2, some random cartoons (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the Cartoon. I've found myself watching this on a weekly basis. I was a bit of a fan of the first cartoon :) ), waited until 10.
10 rolls around and I head to Media Play to get HP5 (Of which, so far, I've only read about three pages. So if anyone dares spoil it for me, I shall be forced to tie them up, hang them by their toes and dangle them into a steaming vat of molten cookie dough. ), grabbed some gas and head towards Rochester.
Actually, back up.
Got to Media Play. No line.. and for that matter, don't see any big display of HP5 books in front of the store like last time.
So I go up to the desk and the guy's like "Harry Potter, right?"
Right.
"Didn't someone call you. We didn't get our books in. Our trunk was stolen yesterday."
Wha? No.. hey.. wait.. isn't that hp5 behind you (behind the counter)
"Oh. Those? No, those are for me."
I'll take one, please :)
Anyways, so I headed to Rochester.
Rather, I headed towards the wrong way on the 90, found myself on the 190, turned around and THEN was headed to Rochester.
The trip TO Rochester SUCKED. It was raining the whole way, not lightly and I found the car slipping a couple times which scares the hell out of me. I DO NOT want to get into any more accidents, thankyouverymuch.
Found my way to ecwoodburn's. Hung out there for an hour and a half, headed to Applebee's to put stuff in our belly and headed off to visit dawnstar and kolys's place where we, together, were way too cute (Which is NOT me admitting that I am because I am NOT! :D )
It's amazing. I'm just extremely comfortable with Kristen. Once we got over what was really a fairly quick awkward phase.. I'd dare say we were acting like a new couple (xb95 and janinedog come to mind on how cute new couples act around each other. (Again, not saying I *AM* cute, but I apparently act it. (Which goes to show my great acting abilitiies, eh? ;) )) I was with them through most of the Darien Lake trips and there was major cutage.) And after only a week, I'd swear ecwoodburn and I are acting the same way. Weird.
Hung out with Dawn and Oli for a couple hours. Got to hear kolys play guitar and ecwoodburn sing (I'd previously heard dawnstar sing and, actually, I didn't hear much of her, being right next to Kristen and also somewhat singing myself (If badly). Wandered off for dinner (and massive snugglage :) ), hung out at Kristen's place a little more, then headed home at 9:55 (which is a good time, cause I *WAS* tired and actually once I hit the 490, my eyes were TIRED and yawnage occured on the 90 and... anyways.. yeah.. left on time :)
Came home, saw mom. Told her about what the Media Play salesman did, went to bed, slept.
Which sounds good. I think I'll try sleeping again now.
So to sum up Rochester... um.. Wow. :)

This song keeps whirling around in my head...

Why did they send her?
Over anyone else
How should I react?
These things happen to other people.
They don't happen at all in fact.

Dork-A-Thon

OK, I REALLY need to post this. So I'll just post it.
I need to have some idea of what peoples plans for getting to the Dork-A-Thon, where they plan to stay, how long etc.
That way I can work out a schedule to pick up anyone I need to (such as kholnuu) and to get hotel rooms for those that need them.

The plans I know are..
Getting There
Dawn, Oliver and Kristen can all drive up easily from Rochester.
Don't know about Trillian, but given that she's somewhat close to Rochester, maybe someone could pick her up. Otherwise.. bus, I'd guess.
Jen, Robby, Mark, Janine and John will all drive over from Boston
Derek's taking the bus down from Manitoba and I'll either pick him up at the bus station or (more preferably) figure out how to get him to the UB South Campus and pick him up there.
Sleeping Arrangements
I can have up to two people staying at my house.
For those that don't know the house rules.. guys can sleep in the same room as other guys. Girls can sleep in the same room as other girls. Unless married, girls and guys may not share a bedroom.
If you let me know ahead of time, I can get hotel rooms for anyone. The more ahead of time you let me know, the easier it will be for me to get cheap prices.
Dawn, Oliver and Kristen... you planning on staying in Buffalo overnight or going back to Rochester?
I'd suggest if you want to go midnight bowling with the rest of us, you stay in Buffalo overnight. We get out of Bowling at 2 or 3 in the morning and it would be a longish drive home that you'd be tired for.
I will leave it up to you folks to fight over who gets to sleep in the Casa De LITE! ;)
Leaving Arrangements
Undetermined, but probably follow the same basic style as the getting here arrangements.

Anyways, let me know and we'll start hammering some details into place :)
