Sorry to delete, but thought better to not let everything hang out. I'm much more conservative in the morning, it's weird. Pretty sure my international misadventures qualify as avoiding comittment, but still. Pretty fun and good lord, I am crazy sometimes. It surprises me.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sarameg, I am of one mind with you when it comes to travel shenanigans. Shame I haven't had any of those trips in a while. But last time was with my parents too.

Hahah! Man, it's hard to keep a straight face when discussing those trips, no?

We were sharing a hotel room! To this day I have no idea what or if they suspected.

I at least had my own room; insisted on it. Not like the shenanigans happened there. Especially not when the shenanigan in question put me in a room right next to my parents. Um, NO?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Wow, all of my shenanigans are firmly away from parents. I think they still wondered if I was a lesbian until I moved in with Dan. Despite conversations that included the words "Are you asking if I'm a lesbian? Because I would tell you if I were."
Then again, I've never traveled with my parents.

Takes a strong....something to travel with parents. I've done it twice as an adult and had one hormonal hell meltdown and one make-my-momma-cry episode (and I really, really do not get the latter.)
Good news is, best armed for future travel. Bad news is...well, that part sucked. I got over it.
My parents are totally confused by me. And that's fine. Brother does grandkids. I do...me.

There was an article in a very recent mag (not sure if it was Outside, Backpacking, Frommer's Budget Travel, or Nat'l Geo Adventure) about how many women end up having flings when they travel by themselves, and that often, married women end up leaving their husbands over it.

Never done that. My life has been pretty dull. Although, I did lure The Girl to a weekend in Dublin not long after she'd refused to go out with me, during which weekend she changed her mind. :D

Always Anti-fascist!
F2f is really the closest I've ever come to getting some on the road or anything(Not that I've ever done anything at one that gets outside first base.) No, that's not true...there was one ancient LDR. But I travelled for him instead of meeting him while travelling. But I can't believe I ever liked him now anyway.(Which is not as cold as it sounds...I spent years believing he was too good for me, but you know what? Fuck that. He's a good man(a little square...would not understand the woman the Buffistas know, but he is a quality dude.) But I am a good woman, too. I need someone more comfortable with the weird stuff about me, possibly with dead parents. 2009 was just, like, fine. Could be a lot worse, could be a lot better. Picked up some new fandoms, started scriptwriting...anticipate moving into new markets in '10.
