Oh crap, and other stuff.
Okay, so I have the place to myself this weekend. A friend just left, and I'm too tired to game, but still awake and restless. And a little paranoid. A friend is going camping this weekend, and left a message on my cell, with his facebook password, telling me to log-in, and harvest his crops on a mini-game thingie. It seems, according to the friend that was over at the time (camping boy's best friend) that he uses the same password for everything. So, just out of pure evil curiosity coming from friend's mind, we decided to try his password for msn. No way we'd actually ever use it, but the curiosity is killer. (I'll throw the password out after the weekend) Anyways, I tried it as soon as he left, and was about to text him the results, when I thought better of it. It doesn't take him very long to get home, and he left around 5 last night, waking up his grandparent, who are visiting his place. That didn't go very well, and since he left later then he was supposed to tonight, he was gonna try to be really quiet getting home tonight. Anyways, I was about to hit cancel, and out of epic stupid habit, I hit send. I don't think it was a long enough time for him to get home, but man, would I feel epic stupid if he did manage to get home, and his cell goes off, waking people up, and getting him in trouble. Ack, I'm sorta freaking out about it. I won't be able to ask him about it either, since he's leaving for a week trip to Washington in the morning. *guilty sigh* Well, here's hoping my time perception doesn't suck. (Update: he came online as I was typing this, and he was still en route, so, no epi-fail here, phew!)
In other news, hmm... Quad, a four day SCA event is this weekend. It's out in the middle of no where, in Saskatchewan. It's one of the biggest events, and has a ton of events, and vendors. There's a castle shoot, and everything. No drinkable water, real camping style. Unfortunately, the friend I was going to go with, added up the damage for rent and bills, and decided that he really can't afford it this month. Too bad, since honestly, though I would love to go, four days straight out in the heat is just too much, thus why we were just going to go for a couple of days. I had a few other people offer rides, but they're all going for the full event. It's going to be a friend's 23rd B-day out there, and he was epic guilt tripping me about not going. I dunno, maybe I can bake him a cake or something when he gets back. Usually Quad is during A-thon, this being one of the few years that it isn't, so although I'm disappointed, it might be for the best... Someone gotta take care of the pups, I suppose, they don't do very well in kennels, and Animethon's next weekend, and I wouldn't want to be too burnt out from Quad to enjoy it.
Speaking of A-thon. It's really coming up quick, I'm having a hard time believing it's only a week away. I don't have a room at the dorms this year. The friend I've roomed with for the last couple years is being something of a douche recently, but that's another topic entirely. Instead, my plan was to stay with someone else, at one of the hotels about a block away. She's staying anyways, so she said she wouldn't charge me the full half price, just an amount to help cover the cost. That said, she told me how much it would be just yesterday, and it's far more than I expected. I'll probably have to stay there, now that I said I would, but man, I wasn't expecting that. Ironic that this would be the only time I can ever remember, that I didn't demand a price before agreeing. Staying close to the con adds an extra specialness to the event, which is why I do it, but it's really not worth the price she's asking. I'll talk to her, and see if we can work something out.
I'm gonna be volunteering as Security again, or Mod, as they're calling it this year. Seems like I've gotten a few people into doing it. I guess I ranted about it enough last year, that people are following my lead. A good thing for the con, but I must admit, I'm a little disappointed too, for some reason. In any case, my friend Jordan has signed us up to be partners, which is a good thing, since I have another friend doing it this year, and although he's fine to be around in small doses, prolonged periods don't really work out, just a fundamental personality clash. The Volunteer Dinner is going to be after the con at Japanese Village on Sunday evening, I've heard. That'll be nice, I really enjoyed Korean Village last year.
I have a noob coming for some of the con, I know he's not pleased about me doing security, but this is my main event of the year, and I'm not compromising the experience for him. I'll show him around, but I won't change my plans like I did at Otafest.
A good friend of mine is thinking she might go to the lake during A-thon, so that'll be too bad if she does. She's normally the one I hang-out with most.
That's about all I've been up to lately. I handed in an app to Cineplex a couple days ago, and the manager said they'll be hiring in a couple of weeks, so I should expect a call back around then, which works out well for me. Here's hoping.
*yawns* Jordan woke me up by appearing at the door today, and he'll probably do the same again, so I should probably try to get some sleep now. This rant has been good for the soul.
Off to bed with me,
Reki.
