Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable

OK, bad stuff first. In the past two weeks I have managed to break my perfect life streak of never losing anything particularly important by proceeding to lose my wallet (about a week ago) and my phone (today). This is especially inconvenient given the timing, as I'm going to Amurka on Wednesday, and I have neither a credit card nor a bank card that can let me take out money over there. Also, I had a dream this morning about a girl I have had... feelings for for far too long which a) made me very happy until I realised it wasn't real, b) confused me, and c) made me sad for a while. Also, I realised how much I am gonna miss my folks when I am over there. Today is the last time I will see my whole family for three months. I think it's going to be even worse when I say goodbye to my housemates.
Of course, there is good news. Namely that, in three days time I will be in a hostel in Chicago. I only go to sleep one more time in Ireland. Understandably, I am rather excited. I am going to America WOOOOOOO. Of course, I would be even more excited if my original plans had worked and I was able to go to Tronnocon too, but fuck it. America! I shall yhave adventures! I will eat steak and lassoo cattle from horseback and other stereotypes. YAY!
Storm Rider:
...You've never had steak?
supersheep:
Not an AMERICAN steak.
OK, so I was grasping for stereotypes and ran out.

Wait, why aren't you coming to tronnocon? You can join the carload if you can get yourself to Fort Wayne on the Thursday am bus that Liz is riding in from Fargo via Chicago. Just sayin'.

Quick update for anyone who cares: I did go camping this weekend, and the camp wasn't flooded or anything. However, flooding did affect the roads significantly, resulting in hellish traffic getting there (EDIT: what thehollow said.) Also, the camp was absolutely swarming with mosquitos. I mean, I've worked at camps and have never seen anything even near that bad; the air was literally darkened by the clouds of mosquitos. I sprayed on tons of bug spray and still got eaten alive.
The campsite itself was gorgeous however, located right by the lake. If it weren't so infested, it would have been great sitting out enjoying the view, or riding a canoe (they were available to rent, and we could launch from our campsite.) I'll have to find out if the mosquitos are an aberration, and if so go back some other time.
Now to go to the drugstore to pickup lotion to soothe the itching...

Note however that she's crashing at my place for a night because of some scheduling issue. I don't know if that scheduling issue applies generally or just to her, but it's something to keep in mind.
