Triptriptrip

[listersgirl]

I am very spacey today. I feel like all my thoughts are having to swim through Jello in order to make themselves heard, and I keep forgetting that I'm in the middle of something and starting something new. I have five seperate emails open, and I think I managed something like one sentence in each.

I think my brain is already on the I-79, heading down to North Carolina, Firth and Mirth, and the Chickliteratti that I get to meet*. I just hope that we catch up with the brain before it gets distracted and heads back home. I'd hate to pass it on the road. And considering we're doing the whole trip, driving and all, in 3 days, that's not completely impossible.

*I'm excited! Whee! Also a little petrified at meeting some of you for the first time. Eep. I will try very hard not to be too obnoxious in my attempt to cover up my nerves. Feel free to tell me to shut up, though. :)

Triptriptripeeeeeeeeeee! My brain is there already too.. instead of the fact I'm cleaning up the mess the previous person at this job left behind (like,oh, SHREDDING current certificates of insurance or losing them)

[listersgirl]

Yay! Exciting! Well, maybe not cleaning up the mistakes of other people...

I'm sorry I'm not going to Firth & Mirth, there could have been Jello wrestling.

Excuse me whilst I lick your icon.

[protoainsley.livejournal.com]

Your tongue will have to fight my tongue for supremacy in the icon lickage.

You will be missed physically, but I'll let your spirit roam around some. :P (Actually, I've thought about dragging out the tarot cards, and you were the catalyst for me renewing my search for them. I never use them without thinking of you. So you will be there in a real sense. Just not the one we'd prefer.)

[erinmorgenstern.livejournal.com]

Do you need to join the Jello wrestling tournament too? This is going to be quite the event.

Aw, yay in spirit slumber partyness! I'm sure y'all will have a blast. And yay tarot! Tarot is good for you, I need to get back to using mine more regularly, too.

[listersgirl]

Well, damn.

Virtual pillow fights instead?

[erinmorgenstern.livejournal.com]

Indeed, with the strategically pre-ripped feather pillows so they cause a blizzard of fluffiness.

[listersgirl]

Truly.

*summons set dresser*

Trip trip trip trip trip. Trip.

(Except it's only 20 minutes for me.)

[protoainsley.livejournal.com]

But it's 20 minutes to an unknown destination, what with you never having seen my place and all. :)

[listersgirl]

Hee. Even if you walked you'd still be quicker than us.

We'll be recognizable as the car full of Canadians who fall over when they attempt to get out because they've lost all muscle mass in their legs.

[protoainsley.livejournal.com]

Dear, I have more than enough petrification for all 10 of us. I'm fucking terrified. But I love you. :)

And when I'm nervous/scared? I say anything and everything and have to be the center of attention and am utterly horrid.

So, the lesson? Be excited. I've got the scared angle covered.

[listersgirl]

Well, if you're going to be the centre of attention, I can hide back in my übershy shell. :)

Although I'll join you in singing musicals...

[morag-gunn.livejournal.com]

Ummm, where is this so-called uber-shy shell? Because I have seen no evidence to date.

[listersgirl]

It's known as "faking out the audience", aka if I pretend I'm not shy, then maybe I won't be shy! No, really!

Although I couldn't possibly have been shy around you guys this weekend, because it felt so comfortable.

[morag-gunn.livejournal.com]

I will protect you. I have cookies, so everyone will like me.

[listersgirl]

I, too, have bribes. It's very important, you know. :)

[protoainsley.livejournal.com]

You guys don't need to bring bribes! You need to bring you, and bedding if you have it! And clothes. That's it.

You? Among the best things ever.

[morag-gunn.livejournal.com]

No I'm not bringing clothes. I though this was a nudist event?

[listersgirl]

No wonder you thought we could pack lightly! ;)

[protoainsley.livejournal.com]

Sally, I don't like you.

I adore you. There's a substantive difference there.

And I adore you cookie-less, as well.

[morag-gunn.livejournal.com]

Yeah but you're really gonna like these cookies Megan.

[mellyflori.livejournal.com]

I weep that you'll be so close and I won't be able to see you. *foot stomp*

[listersgirl]

It's Wrong. Evil and Wrong. I'm just going to have to come down that way again (for longer than, oh, a day), now that I seem to know so many people in that area.

Luckily you'll have people of your own to distract you this weekend. :)

[protoainsley.livejournal.com]

Well, this event just kind of happened (before I knew you, in addition). Next year's, though, will be bigger and better. :)

*contemplates expanding the invite list for next year's bash*

[minervacat.livejournal.com]

NEXT YEAR I WILL BE THERE TOO. *fishes blatantly*

[goovie.livejournal.com]

OMG YAYE.

you know. i totally wasn't that nervous until i started reading about how nervous everyone else is.

[listersgirl]

My nervousness is almost obliviated by how excited I am to see you again YAAAAAAY!

And you're bringing your guitar! Goovie songs! Whee!

[listersgirl]

Melly and Min too, on top of all the wonderful people I get to see this year?

*demands second annual gathering NOW*

[globetrotter1.livejournal.com]

Awww! Have fun, you crazy kids!

[listersgirl]

The operative word being "crazy".

[zarahemla.livejournal.com]

Excuse me. I have nothing to say, but I'd like to sit and stare longingly at your icon for awhile. ::stares:: Okay, thanks.

[listersgirl]

*joins you in the staring*

[eanja]

You need to all post in between and tell us what's going on during Firth and Mirth so that those of us who won't be there can live vicariously and add at least some color to our drab, chickliterati-meeting-less lives.

[listersgirl]

Assuming I remember - where are the Post-its? - I'm going to figure out how to phone post, although I'm sure Megan has a computer that we can all fight over. :)

[eanja]

I have no idea about phone posts either. At work I have no speakers, and at home my computer seems to be too slow to download them properly. Though I'm probably just doing something wrong.

Anyway, I trust you'll all have a great time, and that we'll hear about it once people are home if not sooner.
