shouldn't have had that cup of coffee...

[slumber]

Things, things, things, in no specific order:

• Washington is a pretty city, but I'm not trading Chicago for it. Washington is all neat and proper and appropriate, while Chicago's got this edge to it that HELLO, IS IN BATMAN. :|
  
  
• While American history, as it turns out, doesn't do much for me, I believe I'm acquiring an interest in all things World-War-II-related. :| Like. Everything. The period itself is-- I kinda see what Captain Jack Harkness loves about it so much, and just. Yes. :|
  
  
• This vacation has been grrrrreat. Like, I'm under no stress to omg-see-everything-NOW and as it is also largely unplanned, it has become somewhat a natural occurrence for me to simply stumble into pleasant surprises. My first day it was the Portrait Gallery, yesterday it was the Holocaust Memorial, today it was Jim Henson's gallery at the Smithsonian Castle. I've allowed myself time to sit under the shade of a tree when I so desire to catch up with a book or fill out a crossword, though I've not had the chance to write.
  
  
• Neil Gaiman is going to be in a Chicago suburb this October. I want to seeeeeee. I hope I can. Fingers crossed!
  
  
• I have decided that I am going to try to go to Leaky Con in Boston, because I loved Terminus so much and anyway, I've always wanted to see Boston. Who's with me? :D (I even have ideas for programming, lol)

Crying, I didn't even know Batman was filmed in Chicago! No wonder it looked so familiar when I went to see Dark Knight yesterday. kasdlkf whoops.

I'm glad you're enjoying your vaycay! I was in DC a couple of months ago and loved it.

I think I'm going to try to go to Azkatraz in San Francisco! Leaky Con sounds awesome too though, arghhh. D: Choices. DDD:

whereas every minute of the film I was like "I KNOW THAT PLACE" or something, hahaha. I am such a dork.

:D:D:D

Oh, crap, there are TWO cons? *CRIES* I can probably go to just one, in terms of like, taking vacations from work and stuff, wah.

[reallycorking.livejournal.com]

Yep, there's two. T____T Azkatraz is in mid-July, which I think will be better for me rather than Memorial weekend. It would be so amazing to go to both but I'll probably end up having to choose one over the other, as well. :(

Yeah, May 21-24 is kind of right after my graduation, so it's highly likely my parents will be here, and I'm not sure I can be all "OH BTW I AM GOING TO A HARRY POTTER CONVENTION SEE YOU LATER BAI".

but omg terminus has just completely given my the convention bug. :|

[reallycorking.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, I totally hear you about the convention bug!! I'm just wanting MORE MORE MORE!! lol. XD

Come to azkatraz ok good! :D

[slumber.livejournal.com]

you KNOW, though, if Leaky is Memorial Weekend I MIGHT be able to go there JUST for the days where there's no work and THEN I can also go to Azkatraz or something. Craps I need to save money now. :)) WHATAMIDOING.

I'm totally considering going to Leaky. Laney and I have been talking about it.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

you're totally near Leaky too! omg Leaky vs Alcatraz! Choices, choices! *weeps*

[acidpop25.livejournal.com]

...oh, god, now I wanna go to Leaky Con. >_<;; I am not sure yet if I can afford it/will be in the country, though.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

I'm seriously considering both Leaky and Azkatraz. :|:|:|

the gay bff just spent a year living in washington & loved it, but said it was dull as shit to be a student in haha. (he also said the ww2 'statue' said 1941-45 lol) anyway. :|

hello.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

I get the feeling it'd be quite dull to be there, as it's all proper and neat and stuff. Chicago's a bit grittier and more interesting. :|

Hi. :)

[perculious.livejournal.com]

American history sucks. Just wanted to put that out there. And I got a 4 on my AP United States History test so I know what I'm talking about. (DO YOU LIKE HOW I THREW THAT IN THERE TO SUBTLY SHOW HOW AWESOME I AM :P)
