flea, I'm so glad you're going to go on the Dublin trip -- first because it'll be a treat that you really really do deserve. The second is that you might have to make a huge life-changing decision based on it, so you need all the data you can get in person. This will be money really well-spent in the long run. (Sort of like an expensive house inspection on a house you don't end up buying. If you did, you'd have wanted to know.)
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Once again, Nova has decided I don't have enough cat hair on me. Thanks, cat.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Just for a show, sj. Then I'll hit the road.
Boo!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
People! Attend my magical meeting!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Dublin!
Oh, Trudy, if you're taking the T, I'm pretty sure Kenmore is the closest stop, but you have to cross over the turnpike to get to Lansdowne, which is sort of a hill? It's all sidewalk and fine for that, but I do think you have to go up and over.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Will you do magic tricks?
My son has a couple of magic tricks he does. He's particularly fond of jabbing a pencil through his tongue. For obvious reasons.

Is that why they weren't attending? Not enough trickery? The subject matter expert didn't show, so I had to pretend I knew what I was talking about. Yikes.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Sooooo, remember last night, when Obama MADE ME buy Plants vs. Zombies because his speech kept getting delayed?
Oh my god I will never get my life back.
That is all.
