mandolinHaven't been dead the past week or so, just... been pretty out of it due to allergies and other stuff.
1) The Soul Eater anime is total crack. th-thank you 24 Hours of Anime
1b) Studio Ghibli's Earthsea was kind of weird... and yet it made more sense to me than the TV miniseries did. Probably because I could not take Kristen Kreuk seriously in said miniseries.
2) Benadryl + caffeine makes for an interesting combo. And can quite possibly induce signs of the apocalypse. (Hey, did anyone notice hell freezing over Saturday afternoon? ...I'll expound on why later.)
3) Heat wave + promptly getting FREAKING COLD again = extreme difficulty getting up in the morning. I-I wish Maryland weather would get hormone therapy already or at least pick a temp and stick with it.
4) When you have the sinus headache that will not die, try writing your paper with a pen and paper because staring at the computer screen will just make your brain shut down. ...I'm positive this caused most of my lack of ability to progress on the paper this week.
5) Corollary to #4: COMMUNICATION IS GOOD. Even when you don't want to talk to your other group members. Just confess that you are stuck and brace yourself if the person you don't want to talk to is still trying to write a totally different paper than the rest of your group. Also, talking amongst the whole group is good too because then everyone can agree.
6) When I get back to work after being out sick and my boss wants to see me and I KNOW I didn't do anything wrong... it's usually good news. Like a performance award. (which in this case means extra money in the next paycheck) I shouldn't freak.
7) The SECOND I start blanking on something fic-related that's not RL or class-related, it's time to walk away and either do chores or homework.
8) Trying to fax something while running out the door will guarantee that the fax machine will screw with you.
ANYWAY GETTING TO THE POINT: I'm registered for G2008 but... have no room or plane tickets yet. Part of the reason is because the friends I was going to go with can't go now, and part of the reason is that I'm half-frightened that I will book tickets and then the airline will go "oh hey, we're bankrupt! find your own way home" like Airbus did to my Mom.
Anybody going who needs roommates? Or who can squeeze somebody in? I-I've got to work out the plane tickets myself but if I have roomies it'll help me plan how much time I can take off and know when to book tickets. I know I've been putting this off but stress and other things have pushed it to the back of my mind. Help?

Date: 2008-04-30 11:58 pm (UTC)As to travel, with this whole airline mess going on... I'm tempted to say screw it and just drive the nearly 2100 miles. That or fly and meet up with somebody is within reasonable driving distance (and you are closer than me when it comes to that).
I dunno.... drop me a line some time and maybe we try to work something out.

I'll get back to you on the rooming thing? May not be there as early, but I appreciate the offer. :)
I'll let you know?
