PS: I am planning to be in the NYC area during the weekend of August 9-10, 2014. Hopefully my NYC people will be around for drinking/food/catching up then.

So I may have mentioned something about a little trip I took this past week to New York City by way of Ohio? And I may have done more than my share of drunk posting? Who can say. But I'm back in Knoxville now, and I'm done feeling sorry for myself about it and ready to tell you all about the trip.

+ GUYS I LEAVE FOR NEW YORK TWO WEEKS FROM TOMORROW. That is crazy talk.

I have so much to do between now and then. It's freaking me out a little, but at the same time, I don't care, because I LEAVE FOR NEW YORK IN TWO WEEKS+ My head hurts and my throat's been sore since yesterday. There's a terrible cold going around at work. Also my nephew ( Read more... )

Someone talk me out of buying a new shoulder bag for my trip to New York. Even though I don't really have a good overnight bag. I have one, but the straps are super uncomfortable, and that's a perfectly valid reason to buy a new bag, right? I was considering an L.L. Bean Boat and Tote bag, because they're classic and durable and I'm a New ( Read more... )

So I've been home for a week, which means it's high time I actually post a con recap or I'm going to forget everything that happened. ( Which, granted, was mostly just hanging out and talking about Glee. )

First day back at work*. Boo. I have answered all the requisite vacation-related questions, and I haven't bothered pretending to be happy to be home, because no one would believe me anyway. I have caught up on my e-mail**, consumed roughly my body weight in caffeine, and worked on three different fics in the two and a half hours since my work ( Read more... )

Aaaand I'm home again. I've been up since 8:00 am yesterday and driving since 3:00 pm yesterday. ruggerdavey kept me company on the trip home, helped me come up with a fantastic AU I am probably never going to write, invented some crackfic featuring duckduck's dog and Mary Sues, and encouraged me to spend five dollars on state magnets at 3:00 am at the Pilot in ( Read more... )
