My 10:00am flight was delayed. Several hours. OH yeah.
I arrived really early at the airport, with my parents in tow (rolls eyes). They embarrassed me to death!!! AARRGHHH!!! Because the flight was at ten and they wanted to hang around, they whittled the time away rearranging my belongings. How embarrassing is that? In front of everyone!
Mom holds something up to the light: Look at this pair of panties! Couldn't you have gotten another one?
I slide in my chair: Shhh!
Dad pokes at a box: What the bloody hell is this?
Me: DAD!
Dad reads box: Tampons?

You get the picture.
And then, they finally left - but only because of the delay. First they switched it to 11:00am. Fine, that meant I'd arrive around 12:30am. The Wondercon starts at 2:00pm. No prob.

When did I actually get on the plane?
11:15am.

When did I actually arrive?
Nearly one o'clock.

Because of the weather, we had to circle around til ground control gave the plane clearance.
Unbelievable?
It snowed on the mountains over there. In April. But it rained everywhere else. Really badly. I hadn't even brought an umbrella.

Anyway, I was supposed to meet Saloppe in the arrivals. Okay... where was that? After nearly an hour of phone tag and hurried searchings, we finally caught up with each other. But... it was too late.

We ended up going to Berkeley and staying at her place, talking weird stuff for nearly two hours.
It was freezing! COLD! I ate pizza for lunch. Cold! Took a bus. WARM! Walked to apartment. COLD!!!

Hmmm.. that reminded me. Contrary to my preconceived notions, Saloppe's apartment wasn't a shrine. But it's only because she cleaned it up, assures Saloppe.

So we talked. About strange, strange things. We actually talk like we write. So that's freaky. And laughed. I remember laughing a lot.

Till we had the sense to go and get some dinner.

We walked out to a nearby Blockbuster for um.. okay.. see we... um... (mumbles).
I SAID WE WERE LOOKING FOR UM... you know.. Cute guys... that kinda thing. Assmeats included.
No, not porn!
Just movies with sufficient.. ai. How can I put it in a way that won't make ppl think we were watching porn? You know, movies that have those really effable guys we can drool over.
Yeah. Anyway, we couldn't find one. So we borrowed a Bale movie and Dogma. Dang, we still haven't seen Dogma yet. Anyway, the Bale movie sucked! It gave me an inspiration to write some movie reviews too. But not right now. I'm still lazy as hell.

We also couldn't find dinner. The takeout Chinese restaurants were closed at nine.

Damn.

I settled for a caramel shake and Saloppe had a peanut butter sundae. We were both sick from those treats but were too hungry... I had some leftover pizza though. She had crackers.

Sigh.

We watched the Bale movie.

Sigh.

Then, after Conan, we turned in.
