Jiggles will do, though can it be hopeful?

See, making the think positive effort.

My pet name was always sweet-pea, or sunshine (mainly 'cause when I was born I had a three-weeks-in-barbados tan and didn't cry at all for about three days. I just lay in my cot blowing drool bubbles (not sure how thats cute, but)
and then they tried to christen me and it was down hill all the way.

If I ever make it to d*c, i'll tell you about my christening - hi-larious.

sigh.

thank you for the hugs, they help. see you soon, going to watch tv with my mom.

Dragon*Con, I take it? I gotta start worrying about that already? Yeesh. When is this all, now? I know I've asked, but I keep forgetting.

Well, I live in London, oh right you wanted reasons to come...

Anguish piled on misery, we dicovered that one of the ferrets, the little boy, had a huge tumor, so he got put down today. I almost cried infront of my boss.

That's pretty rough, my Rabbit had cancer when I was a kid, ended up we had to put him down. He was big bad as well, I mean he kicked the crap outta Cats. They did not mess with my lil' bunny I'm tellin' ya.
They'd come sniffin' around like he was a free meal, and then pow, he'd jump and spin in mid air, before landing and gettin' up in their face. I'm sure he used to say (in animal talk) "Want some, do you fur boy?".
Then a few years back our cat died of cancer two. Me and that Cat didn't really see eye to eye though, she could really hold a grudge you see.
When I was a baby, before I was born I kicked her right off my mothers lap, and she never really liked me after that.
At the moment though the worst thing I've got to deal with on the animal front is the big pile of poo my snakes left for me to clean up. He likes to keep me busy, doesn't like to think I'm just sitting down doing nothing.

Its not helping my 'think positive' resolution. yeah, my new years resolution was think positive, what a laugh. Terribly afraid that this year is just going to turn into another 2005.

Don't lose heart yet, you see the universe isn't digital, it's analoge, meaning things don't just suddenly get better or worse, it happens slowly and transitionally as the good/bad waveform moves between peaks and troughs. You're coming out of the bad trough of the waveform now, and soon you'll be out of the bad zone (over the crapola threshold) and into the good zone.

If none of that has helped in any way it's because I'm useless, and you hearby have permission to shout at me, under the "Shout at stupid idiots act, 1989".

Edit:
didn't not to did not, me make sentence good.

no that whole analogue, waveform/crapola thing really helped actually, cheers.

Poor boy was so ill, nothing like his normal self, so I kinda knew that it was going to happen. Hence the barely being able to stop myself from crying infront of a bloke thing. silly me.

worried about the little girl now, we don't know what to do with her, we need to either neuter her or get her another male companion, and really don't know what to do for the best, shes absolutely frantic, doesn't know where he's gone.

And every time I remember how I called him dumpling or tubsy I want to kick myself, I feel like such an unfeeling cow.

Orpheus,
Dragon*Con is Sept 1-4, which is Friday-Monday. It's my experience that if you can, it's good to get there Thursday night. Settle in and have a mini-shindig with the other early Browncoats. Thurs. night is also the best time to pick up your preordered pass, or purchase a pass if you've waited (earlier is Cheaper by the way, I think now they are like to be around $50, later and day of they are $85), It's good to be ready to go Friday morning even though not everything is set up and ready(better than standing in the pass line with the thousands who just showed). Monday is hit or miss, sometimes there's a few things you want to do and it's worth staying, also dealers will cut they're prices, they don't really want to load all that stuff back up.
I like to plan to arrive Thurs. and leave after everything is done on Mon. though last year I really wanted to stay Monday night and leave Tues. Depends on how much hotel you can afford(easier if you're sharing with a few), and transportation arrangements, I guess. Stay in a room with 5 people for 5 nights, you pay for 1 night. Not too bad. Get your pass early, cheap is good. Then the costs are Food/Beverage, Purchases, Autographs etc. Autographs (usually $20 per sig.)can hurt depending on how many you want, and who shows. I spent $200 on the BDHs last year.
If anyone is looking to confirm commitments to go and make room spliting plans at this early date, it's good to get that done.
I really don't mind Co-Ed room sharing.

I ran into Orpheus in chat, he's checking a few things. If we could get real commitments from enough folk to share a room without getting the room too crowded or 'causing us to go broke, from too few shares in the costs, then we can move forward. Ash Suggests the international tower(of the Hyatt), due to the elevator issue mentioned above. Kelly (KOL) was in chat too and mentioned possibly already having plans with CMS and Lissa, hopefully Seryn can join them. I don't want to cut anyone out, But if you and I commit, LMD, we can look to Orpheus, Dark Jester, and Cozen(considering he's bringing Lissa, I Think) to fill the room. Orpheus mentioned talking to a few other Browncoats he knows, so I'm not sure if he meant that he wanted to bring them in with us, or have a share with them instead. The folk that went with me in '04, seem to not commit to anything until last minute. I don't wanna wait.
Again, Not opposed to Co-ed, I just assume women folk might not be as comfortable with the idea. More than willing to be proved wrong.

Generally I have no problem with co-ed, (i've done halls of residence, It don't get no scarier than that)

We have more than five though (do they set room limits or do they get to the weekend and stop giving a damn?) But if theres odd numbers then i'm flexible. (hell, i'd sleep in a corridor, i'd just be glad to have got there)

Ordering my ticket soon, hoping that I can still find some way of ordering the plane tickets sooner rather than later, but hope hope hope!
