Chicagocon '09 - The Internet Invades the Midwest
Liz:
Oh Brittany you should just come to Chicagocon and stop being silly. FUN TIMES will be had by all.
BrittanyMarie:
I knew I was going to start paying loans and also moving into a more expensive place, so that's around a $350/month difference so all my savings money is being used as a Just In Case fund. Especially cuz there are all these people who call in and are like "I GOT LAID OFF AND HAVE NO MONEY AND I CAN'T PAY THIS BILL" and sometimes they cry and I do not want to end up where they are. Not like it is their fault or anything, I'm just a hoarder with anxiety who grew up poor.
jodizzle:
I am pretty sure the thing was that Chicago was the only place I could get a direct flight to Fargo, the others had changeovers and I am really not good with airports so I will pay extra to avoid that. Something like that anyway. God I hate airports so much.

seriously?
I can't comprehend living in a country where trains are not a regular part of life. I hadn't even thought about this but does America have inter-town trains? Like, trains that stop at each little village along the way? Or does the ubiquity of the automobile make it unnecessary? (I am so pretentious today)
Wow. Ever so often something reminds me that America is a whole other country, not just some kind of British clone a few thousand miles away.
Eris:
That's Australia.
We have trains! I travel on trains a lot! I like them, but only when they work and there aren't creepy homeless-looking people watching me while I listen to Ratatat and dance in my seat a little.
