My friend Katie and I always share rooms traveling (and yet have not killed each other). We once recorded ourselves snoring. It was amazing. She sounds like the Tardis landing. I sound like a large ghost bear wailing its untimely demise. I suspect my cat Leo sometimes walks on me to make sure I'm still alive if the noise stops and I don't move.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I am only OK with 4+ to a room if there's something very scary outside the room trying to get in.
This cracks me up. I grew up in a large family with a small house, so never had my own room until deep into college, and now as a parent of two 4 to a room is a given in most hotels. But I will defend your right to hold the line at 2 to a room!

I didn't have my own room until I was 23. Of course, these days sharing a house with another human seems problematic.
Anyway, I wouldn't mind exploring one of those mansion-y options for our theoretical 2017 20 years of Buffy F2F, see if there is an intersection of occupancy and price that works for us.

maybe we should look into "F2F sleep apnea surgery. Buffy the Snorer Slayer". Get one of the mansions as a luxury recovery zone. Shared rooms makes it easier for the nurse(s) to make the rounds. Each room can have a binge watch room. Those who heal fast are in the Firefly room (too soon?).

If you do big group with a place like that, best way to price is by rooms. Most of those places are pretty reasonable even with 1-2 people per room.

My only hesitation would be that we would need people to seriously commit — probably pre-pay — and I know that hasn't been easy to do in the past. My fear would be that whoever reserved the property would have the potential to get screwed if people backed out. So I don't know if it's actually a good idea...just really tempting when I saw all those amazing places.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Sometimes when I think of Buffista Island, it contains a mishmash of architectural styles, spaced irregularly around the commons. Well, except for the OCD houses whose immaculate, straight-line group has a place all their own.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I need a house that one half has no walls, so the sun and the breeze and even the rain can sweep through--and the other half earth sheltered concrete bunker. Can our architect do that?
