So the plans for the "surprise" were done during Friday day (which was good since Friday night things just went to shit on me).
Well, actually, I had wanted the surprise to have happened the weekend of Shiney's surprise welcome home party - but because of the party, I decided to postpone it.
I reserved a car Friday for the weekend. Sat. morning I picked it up, brought it back and asked Jeff what we should do with it for a weekend trip.
"Mall of America"
So we packed (after I went back to sleep for a couple of hours to make up for lost time) for the night and drove out to the Twin Cities. Spur of the moment kind of thing.
We got to spend a couple of hours there that evening. The Wizards of the Coast store was going out of business and selling everything at ridiculous prices. Chessboards were 80% off, chess sets were 70%. A lot of the sets had been picked over, but I got a set with Greek pieces.
Had a hotel. And went back in the morning for a couple of rides (the Twister & Log Run). Picked up a few other trinkets. Feet were kind of tired and we really didn't have a lot of $ to spend.
It was nice to just get away though - especially leaving the people that had been really really insensitive to situations.
I posted something in one of my LJ communities - left out a few details, someone told me I should ban myself from my own game *sighs* Other people who were there and knew the details didn't know what "the incident" was - yet they saw IT walking around and talking to people like IT'd done nothing wrong and expect me to not frenzy on IT. I don't want to frenzy. I have before, its not a pretty thing. Haven't frenzied in a very long time though. I know the signs of it coming on and have been in situations recently where those signs have started so I've walked away - which was probably the best I could do. I hope the rumors are true and that June comes soon.
Of course, then will come July... I don't want July, but I will do what I have to do if I need to do so.
I both love (because I can do things like this weekend) and hate adulthood (because I have to hold some semblence of responsibility).
