I hate doing expositions and essays, why must I suck so much at them? And why oh why didn't I just play it safe and choose the paper that had written friday on it instead of trying to get one for next week and actually getting the one that made everything be due tomorrow...
I'm still trying to get ready for Nan Desu Kan, which is a week after PAX. Most of what I still need to do revolves around finishing my BLU Spy costume.

No you don't you love us..and you want to be there with us, don't worry..we will have a moment of silence.
Unless that moment of silence is actually a magic spell that teleports me to Seattle, it's small consolation.
On the other hand, I'm pushing it to be ready for NDK as it is, so it's better that I don't have plans to spend another few days at another convention during the 9 days I have left.
Our cat is going through surgery tomorrow, its going to have its tail removed.
It came home one day, hissing at us if we came near him and after that day the tail have not been moving at all.
Was taken to the vet today and the woman said the tail had been pulled so hard it was pulled out of its socket, so there was no way to save it.

I swear, if I ever find out who did it...
Oh god, that's horrible
Well... At least the tail won't get in the way anymore, and you don't risk walking on it accidentally! ...>.>
I didn't even know it was possible. Poor cat.
Got my tickets for this "weekend" (I'm spending Sunday and Monday in Vancouver with Sean). I'm very nervous. It's always weird to meet someone from the Internet face to face for the first time, and with only two days I'm afraid the awkwardness won't have time to wear off...

I'm really looking forward to it though.
I have this feeling that scenes from "Misery" Will be Re-enacted
err..right cheering up then...well don't worry, it's a complete and understandable nervousness, and believe me it soon will pass, and you'll both be having a great time.
Also seriously, whenever I'm packing, I never have enough socks...this...this is not cool.

I have one pair of socks. Altogether, I mean. I've been thinking maybe I should get more at some point but it's been months and, well, I'm lazy
It's not even a real pair, as in, they're not even a match xD
I hate buying clothes. It always feels like such a waste of time and money.
im thinking of dying my hair red... can't decide, i've never dyed it before
I'm actually considering dying my hair, just because it'd be different. My brother dyed his hair blond a couple of weeks ago, and now has had it cut into a daft short Mohawk! I should also add that he is 31 years old.

Totally understand what you mean about being nervous. In a way I think it's harder than meeting complete strangers - at least with strangers there are no preconceptions.
It's odd because you can get to know people really well in some ways online, but not experience the most basic things such as how they walk, or what they look like from behind. In real life, those are things you'd often know before you even spoke to a person.
Anyway, I'm sure you will be absolutely fine! It just takes a little time to find the "rhythm" between people. After an hour you'll wonder why you were ever nervous in the first place.

Absolutely! It has happened to me lots of times... I can't think of many people in my life that I'm in contact with right now and didn't meet online... So you'd think I'd be used to it by now! But as I said, online you experience a person with zero to two senses (you might get to see what they look like and hear them, at most), and once you meet them it's 3D and with all senses... You can touch, smell and in theory taste them. You get a notion of them in volume, very different to what you get from pictures... ever met a famous person only to think "hey, I though (s)he'd be shorter/taller"?
When you get to actually meet someone from online, too, it's usually a very immersive experience. In my case, it pretty much has always involved living with them (be it for just a day or for years) so you go from no interaction to lots of it. You get to know the small gestures and expressions, the person's tastes, the weird things they do...
I'd say the more you know the person, the more nervous you might be that something will go wrong, but at the same time the less likely it is that it will.

Yeah, he says he won't let me be nervous or awkward
I think if I had been able to go to PAX as originally planned it would have been easier because I would have met more people, who would all have met for the first time as well, and so on, making it less of a big deal. On my wedding, I met at the very least half the guests for the first time in the flesh, and apart from checking with people who they were (I hadn't seen pics of most of them lol), there was absolutely nothing awkward at all.
However when I first met my husband or my childhood friend Sev, it was pretty awkward for the first... half-day I'd say, at least. And I meant reaaally, awkward, the "I don't talk and don't look at you directly" kind. Then some lingering awkwardness over like a week but things felt much more natural.
I'm worried this might happen with Sean too. Half a day out of (less than) two days is a pretty big amount.

Yeah, I do wish I had a little more time at PAX just to hang out with people. I have to leave early Sunday morning, so I won't be able to spend more than 48 hours with anyone.
Even though half a day out of two IS a fair proportion of awkward, next time around you'll already be familiar with each other, so should be able to skip the awkward and get straight to the awesome.

*bangs head against wall again*
(And really, they DO celebrate survive August with a party September 1st. It's kind of a tradition)
I do the same thing... I think it's either excitement, or vague paranoia about missing the plane.
My flight's in 34 hours! Trying so hard to refrain from using multiple exclamation marks!

I still hate you all a little bit, though.
Sam & Max 305 is out. And it's great. Easy, but great. Good Telltale.
and umm... "Why
Yeah good luck with getting me to shut up long enough to do that. How about a few joyful squeals instead?
Oooh, I love a challenges...wait you squeal?
Best use of spoiler tags ever.

Uhh, Yare's not with Telltale anymore...
its still his birthday
Tonight we plotted the frequency of my voice (in kHz) against my drunkeness (in pints):
Attachment not found.
I have occasionally been known to work in frequencies beyond the range of human hearing.
Wow, that's nasty. The cat probably won't even notice it's gone though - hope it's out of pain soon.
Aw, really? That's a bit sad-making, he was good fun. I'll still wish him a happy birthday. What happened to him?
Go to Facebook then!
Yeah, I just don't know if he comes around here anymore.
Dunno. I just heard he was moving on. I wish him well, whatever the reason and wherever he went.
Likewise! Ginny's link says he's at KlickNation now.
I couldn't imagine my Kira without her tail flying around. Or why anyone would ever do such a thing... :mad:
Unfortunately, it wil notice. Cats use their tails for balance, especially when they're running and decide to make sharp turns mid-stride.
He'll get used to it eventually, but he certainly will notice it's gone (however would probably prefer it gone to being in pain.)
I've seen him logged in since he left, so I'd say, maybe? I doubt this thread would be the first place he'd look though.
However, if (s)he can't move it anymore because it's been pulled out, I'm going to say (s)he'll be better off without it.
Oh, damn. 2,001 now. That was one short lived party.
I'm really looking forward to it though.

anyway. im also extremely jealous of all you going to PAX

I'm so glad I'm not they only one =]

I'm packing right now... currently have 10 pairs of socks and wondering if that will be enough.
