That's ... actually a good point. Gordito's for everyone!
Tiny American flags for some!
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Because nothing earns you GothPoints like clambering around decaying buildings while wearing a velvet dress, carrying a glass of red wine, and smoking a clove cigarette.
I wish these were my plans for the evening. Srsly.
I wanna do the "10 Things I Hate About You" tour - giant troll, paintball, and the world's most ornate high school!
Okay, I'm kidding. I'll settle for underground and climbing things.
eta which means I'm planning on coming if at all possible, and I think amyth is, too. we've put it on the work calendar.

Uh... for one. And man, that Paintball gun hasn't been fired in 5 years.
I can only assume the paintball thing is fantasy, because it'd suck up an entire day and you'd spend the rest of F2F nursing your aches, bruises, scrapes & twisted ankles. Good times.

Our wings are not tired.
I have paintball gear! Well, it is really belongs to my son, but he would totally let me borrow it. Except for the part where he always comes home with aches, bruises, and scrapes. Um, nevermind.

OMG, I miss you guys. I hardly ever bump into your pixels around here, and I was thinking about that sadly this week.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Well the "paint balls" in 10 Things... bear little resemblance to actual paintball.
