So remember my 2012 goal to go to on a date?

Yeah, pretty sure I can check that one off now.

It went something like this on our way to my place after the weekend trip (which included an extra day that's now sending me scrambling, but that's another story ( Read more... )

Finally we've arrived at Sunday morning. Sleepyhead me got up, got dressed, and washed up as soon as the bathroom was available, and then I organized and packed my stuff. All my wet stuff went in a separate bag. My remaining non-wet items went in my backpack. Then it was time to figure out the sleeping bag, which came out of a teeny tiny bag. David ( Read more... )

At this point all ten of us were in Erin's room. One of the guys, Michael (I think this was his name) was definitely drunk. He was a fun drunk, though. Conversation happened. We discussed masturbation and concluded that Michael had killed more kittens than anyone else in the room ( Read more... )

The girl who took our order also wore this draped thing; their fried pies were being sold for fifty cents instead of a ( Read more... )

This is probably going to be in multiple parts so I don't take a week like I did last time. First, I finally finished writing about it. Yay! It also took almost an entire Dr. Nbook, as I tweeted last night. I started this Dr. Nbook on Friday before leaving. It is almost finished. Clearly I had a lot to say, and this was a revelation-free trip ( Read more... )

Today was awesome.

I left campus around 8:50 and took the Marta to Tech, and I ran into poisonedwriter and Kelso (who wasn't going to the Barack event) at the Marta station. When poisonedwriter and I arrived and finally made it to where the rally was being held (about fifteen minutes and one huge hill later), I called Justin to let him know that yes, I was there, and where ( Read more... )
