I found one of these charming, small town pages for Troy, Michigan after a friend told me she was moving to 'Detroit.' Troy is NOT Detroit and Wikipedia made me want to visit.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Looking forward to seeing you and meeting your hubby.
YAY Merlin. Good job on staying close to home. Now remember to check in every few days so the humans don't worry.
I came home from my Sunday wanderings and both Miss Kitty and Noodle decided to perch on me as soon as I sat down. They don't share space well, so it is always interesting when they want to both be on my lap.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Fuck, this town is already too small. Just got OKC messages from two people; one is looking for new friends in town and just started a residency in internal medicine (aka has probably already had her first lecture with StW) and the other is also new in town and planning to get active with the local Anne Rice vampire club (yup, know those folks too). Plus Nora told me about a lovely restuarant pop up event tonight and one of the musicians playing I last saw in March when he laid me off.
Most of the time I love the connections, really. Just once in a while, I don't.
Off to the grocery store and then make dinner. Still have work work to do and must tidy a bit at home. So not ready for Monday.

Troy is NOT Detroit
I hate to burst your bubble, but it may as well be. It's a concrete suburb attached to other concrete suburbs and is all part of the urban sprawl surrounding Detroit. Its primary industies are directly or indirectly related to the automotive industry of Detroit. It's strip malls and megamalls and bedroom communities for those working for Chevy, Chrysler and Ford.
If you want charming, you want the way outer communities to the west of Detroit, not north. Places like Plymouth and Ann Arbor. They are charming.

I may have sobbed in gothy envy at reading that. Maybe.
So, it turns out that the warnings about how Lyme disease, the co-infections with it, and the assorted meds I'm on to deal with it all can cause heightened sensitivity to the sun? Not joking, not even a little bit. I was in direct sun without a parasol for about 10 minutes, and it caused a headache, dizziness, and nausea. If I am becoming a vampire, I want the fangs and the super-healing, dammit.

Well, there you go Sail, proving that not everything on Wikipedia is true.
The entry said that it is the 22nd safest city in the US and one of the 'best places to live'. Heh. PR is a powerful thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad Merlin is safely found!
The weekend is always gone. *sad*

The person I know is also very involved with the pirates group, and I met her through DJ's cousins. She's super nice and her husband is a trip. We all hung at the same spot for the parades. You should come visit for the ball!

Iiieee! The Anne Rice vampire ball? I went to one in NOLA one Halloween (right before Pete and I got together, as a matter of fact). It was when Anne still lived in NOLA, and held the event at her house. My friend's band were performing, so they invited me to come along. It was ridiculously fun.

Yay! Right now I am cursing hotels that average a super cheap "prices starting at" rate but don't have anything for less than twice that price on the dates that I need.
