Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I haven't been anywhere in a while; I'm excited! Last time I was in NYC, I was there for a conference, and the hotel room was in Newark. I stayed in town with Trudy one night, and we went out and I got TORE up.

I was absolutely stank with tequila and miserable the next day at the conference. I actually curled up in an empty seminar room and napped for an hour, on the floor, like a wee drunken sloth that smelled like smoke and booze.

But, goodness, I had fun!

ETA: Of course now I am a RESPECTABLE MARRIED LADY and would never do anything like that. Oh, noes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm normally in NYC, but late July/early August is when we go to Canada. Wah!

That's right, Jess.

I still don't know the dates; we get the kiddo on Father's Day weekend, and will have him over a month. It might be mid-August. Still waiting to hear back from his mom.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Erin, I have SEVERAL rooms now! Amazing, right?

You can even take NJ Transit to Septa to Philly. It's mad cheap.

The status is NOT quo.

There's a small possibility that ND's cruise work may get shifted, in which case we might both be able to attend. I'm all eight ball: "Answer unclear, ask again later."

So I can't book anything yet (and may not spend the night if ND can't come anyway--money is tight and Providence is less than an hour from my mom's house). But I'm hoping we can come.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It's looking pretty unlikely for me now, though I won't know for absolutely sure until I get my appointment with the chief torturermaxillofacial surgeon.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Reservations made. I'll be in Providence RI from the afternoon of June 25th through the afternoon of June 27th, staying at the Hampton Inn downtown.

Hope to see you there.

Our wings are not tired.

Made reservations for Friday and Saturday night at the hotel. May stay around longer, but have friends to stay with.

Sweeeet!

Alright, I'm still hanging on to some spare rooms. As soon as someone can't reserve what they need contact me ASAP and I'll hook you up.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Crap, work is telling me i have to give back my vacation time to improve my training process or some such bullocks. Whilst i fight this insanity, i'm having to put all my travel plans on hold, and will most likely end up missing the festivities this year which peeves me mightily :(
