Hello.

It was brought to my attention (last week) by [livejournal.com profile] abigail89 that I haven't been around the last month. SORRY.

First and foremost, I've been digesting my situation. I am okay most of the time. One of my friends' partner (a New Yorker who also happens to be a Corrections Officer) spoke really frankly to me about moving out sooner than I anticipated. She told me that I needed to be out of this house by Thanksgiving, because I needed to make new Christmas traditions. Since I was really struggling with the thought of spending Christmas here, that was something I really needed to hear. I'll be getting my storage unit next week, and sitting down with Alex, who's going to help me set my goals. Thank heaven for her.

Secondly, my mom and her friend Mary came to visit! We had a spectacular time. WE GOT TO SEE THE CRAWLER COMING DOWN THE HILL FROM PAD 39A GOING BACK TO THE VAB. I PROMISED JULIE PICTURES. I'll post them eventually. We hit Animal Kingdom and Epcot. It was so hot we really didn't get to do as much as I usually do with guests...but they had a great time, so I don't really care. Next time they come, I'll be in my new place!

Also went to Rochester for my goddaughter's second birthday. Had a great time, as well. It was nice just to be away and relax (even though a lot of the week wasn't really relaxing...).

Saw Shrek 4, Alice in Wonderland, and Toy Story 3. Fell asleep in the first two, bawled through the third. Oh, Andy.

[livejournal.com profile] thalialunacy is going to be here during Infinitus, so whether she wants to or not, she's taking me with her to meet the con folks, because I'm not missing the chance to hug [livejournal.com profile] abigail89 IRL.

IDK what else...I've been working a lot. Not working out a lot :(. I started a rewatch of The West Wing. OMGBBWHITEHOUSESTAFFERS.

My sisters will be here in July! \o/

SYTYCD...I'm finally caught up. I love that they got rid of the video wall. The lighting designer this year KILLS. I wasn't so sure about the All Stars. It does produce some great results...but we also don't have a lot of connection or awkward dances. I really don't have a favorite yet. The girls are so blah and the guys are so great. I got attached to Alex during Season 5, so I hope he continues to grow. And Kent is so fucking hilarious. I have a feeling he'll be a finalist, no matter how he does.

Okay, well, I'm working 27 hours this weekend, so I'll see you soon, bbs!

Girl, I have a car and a GPS. I will HUNT YOU DOWN if you don't come to me.
And that's a promise.

Excellent! You and [livejournal.com profile] thalialunacy are in charge.

Oh god, lol. THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

Thursday, July 15 we'll check in the Royal Pacific Hotel and we'll be there until Sunday. I'm not doing much of the conference so come on by! You have my cellphone number?

[identity profile] centerspire.livejournal.com 2010-06-29 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
I do not, but I'm sure I can acquire it! Oh, man, I love the Royal Pacific! A friend of mine stayed there while he was shooting a commercial over there. It's so beautiful. I'm getting so excited. It's like everyone's coming to see me (yeah, I know, something about Harry Potter...)

So what are you doing the first weekend in August? Cause I'm coming out your way (barring any illness or death, of course).

[identity profile] centerspire.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I like this news a good deal! I should be here, my sisters go home July 25th.

What's the sitch? Is it family vacation or something else?

[identity profile] awamiba.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm coming out for a women's leadership convention. I'll be out there Thursday evening through Monday evening, but there'll be meetings Friday & Saturday. I'm completely free Sunday & Monday, though, and I would LOVE to see you. :)

[identity profile] centerspire.livejournal.com 2010-06-29 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
\o/ I'll probably have to work Sunday, but I should have Monday off! I'm so excited!

[identity profile] thalialunacy.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
YES MA'AM. I'm still not sure what the plans are because Julie's work sched is so crazy-cray that I'll probs have to find a way to get to Orlando by myself. Suggestions? XB

[identity profile] centerspire.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You call me and I come get you. Problem solved.

I don't know my shedule for that time yet, but I usually have M-W off. And if need be, I have lots of sick time!

[identity profile] starsfell.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
She's filled with dramatic over-tones. I'm only busy through Friday because of a massive event I'm running at the musee. I'll probably still have that Tuesday off and I'll of course have Saturday night and Sunday off. But if you want to come spirit her off to Orlando by all means don't let me hold you back.

AND DONT' FORGET YOU HAVE TO BE AT MY SUPER SWEET SIXTEEN ON JULY 10TH.

:D IK. I just have to switch with someone at work so I can come.

[identity profile] thalialunacy.livejournal.com 2010-06-28 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Eeee wait but isn't that a couple hours' drive? D: Okay I will make note of this (I'm actually making a spreadsheet :facepalm:) and keep in touch about it. IT'S IN TWO WEEKS FDJSKA;L

[identity profile] centerspire.livejournal.com 2010-06-29 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
It's only an hour to her place, then it would be about an hour and a half back to the con. I'm getting so freaking excited. I have a feeling I'll probably be calling in sick at least once while you (and everyone else) are here.

[identity profile] thalialunacy.livejournal.com 2010-07-04 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I think the current plan is to HP it up Saturday night and/or Sunday, so you won't need to drive me anywhere because Julie is willing. I'm still waiting to hear from a couple people. Then Tuesday space center y/y.
