Aw, shucks, thanks. DC was a great night. I am fully committed to a meet-up in New York with you and the gang ( insomniasexx mk b_b ecib and etc) and hopefully lil nowaypablo humanodon - just so long as it doesn't happen the week of 4/19. I would love to see you all again. And no problem, misreadings on the internet happen. Festivus greetings to you, dear sir. And to all the rest of us. God help us, every one!
The amount of things I can show you guys is enough to make you need time away from life the way I do form Hubski.
Heh, I have no idea what your opinion of Florida is, but my friend owns a house there and whenever he talks about it, he goes, "Flori-DUH!" and makes really derpy noises. I have family down there myself and I have to say that with the amount of times I hear anti-Obama or pro-Fox News stuff makes me think that too.
I have only been there once, this is the part of the thread where I reveal I am, in some people's opinions, "woefully un-travelled." And when I went it was to Disney at that! My parents are renting a house on Sanibel Island, where they have vacationed for a couple of years, and they have invited my siblings and me. I only have to foot the bill for airfare (and spending money while I'm there, &etc). I agreed to this and then my mother asked me to please confirm because she didn't want my brother to back out. Her worry is fairly founded so I've doubly agreed and unfortunately Hubski doesn't mean quite enough to me that I'd be willing to bail. I did think that if the meetup occurred during one of the two weekends away maybe I could arrange to leave for FL late or return early, so I'm not entirely without options if it isn't fortuitously scheduled. However if I can have any input on the dates (and I believe we're also waiting on thenewgreen 's ladywife to pop out a brand-spanking-new human specimen before we set any dates so that's a factor of course) I'd prefer if that set could be avoided. I am hoping the weather is nice. I hate winter. I don't know how I'll be about meeting/talking to people there. Frankly I'm a little worried I might get bored. I might be on Hubski a lot. I'll bring books.
I've never been there, but renting a house is usually a good time. The weather should be good that time of year, or at least nicer than in the north. I hate winter too. I really wish I could spray my dog with that shit people use to waterproof snow boots with. Why people would even bother settling this far north of the equator, I will never understand. Staying warm is too damn expensive . . .
