Leaving on a jet plane.

How I want to be right now:

"OH YEAH I AM GOING TO SEATTLE I AM GOING TO ROCK SOME HOUSES AND MELT SOME FACES AND MAYBE IGNITE THE BIOSPHERE WOO!"

How I am right now:

"I need a nap. Or maybe some more caffeine...yeah. Caffeine would probably help. You know. If there are no naps to be had. Can I have that nap instead? Wait, I have to get on a plane? What? Is this optional? Can't I teleport? How about the Jaunt? Is that up and running yet? I promise to let you sedate me..."

So yeah. I am bound for Conflikt, where a) I will have a wonderful time, even as b) I will work my little blonde butt off, toting my laptop from room to room like the Ghost of Deadlines Past. There may be a certain amount of grumbling darkly and threatening to ignite the biosphere. Good times.

The cats did not approve of the reappearance of The Dread Suitcase; Thomas even tried to barricade me in my room this morning. He failed, on account of he may be a bonsai yeti, but I am a human, and hence much larger than he is. But hey, good show him for trying. Lilly just looked despondent, like she had been waiting for this day ever since I returned from Disney World. Sometimes I think Lilly is the smartest of the cats.

I don't know how much internet, if any, I'll have over the weekend; please don't burn down the internet while I'm gone, I'm still using it.

See you in Seattle!

/me giggles gleefully at the phrase "bonsai yeti".

Safe travels, and I hope you have fun!
Me, too!
Have a good time!
I wish I had a good con nearby to go to this weekend!
:)
Have a good weekend!

Shall do.
I was going to reply with my 5-2-1 interchangeable joke, but then I remembered that my sense of humor doesn't work with tired Seanans.

So instead I'll just say have a glorious time

Tired Seanans are not quite humorless, but are definitely a bit off, it's true.
Hey,
Maybe there will still be snow.
(Instead of just pointless cold.)
That would be nice!
I was just in Seattle. Dang.

I hope the trip goes well. I'll keep an eye on the internet while you're gone and make sure folks don't burn it down. I have a fireproof blanket over here. That should be enough, right?
I hope so!
I thought airplanes were designed for naps. They're certainly only bearable if you're asleep.
I *wish* that airplanes were designed for naps. I've always been envious of people that could do that. My sister, for one. But alas, for I am a 6'3" insomniac, and airplanes are most assuredly *not* designed for *me* to nap in. Stupid sardine cans.

No promises!
Heh.

I slept SO MUCH.
"Let them" sedate me? If I were going for a Jaunt, I would *make them* sedate me. Go ahead and poke me a few times to be sure. I'd rather wake up on the other side with a couple of extra pinholes than wake up early.


Hrm. Two appropriate icons for this subject. I think I will use this one.
I too would be all about the sedation. I'd rather die of an excess of sedative than of, well, you know.

By which I mean, have fun, Seanan!

My cats always get moody when the suitcase comes out. Billy will try to crawl inside it and stow away, but I always catch him.
Sounds like our Nova (see userpic). The packing process around here typically goes: Open suitcase. Get shirts. Remove cat from suitcase. Put shirts in suitcase. Get pants. Remove cat from suitcase. Put pants in suitcase. Lather, rinse, repeat...

hmh, airplanes are nap-zone for me. I sit down, fall asleep, wake up at new destination. It's a rule. And it's quite handy.

safe travels and hope you have fun! :)
I do that, too, but the Seattle trip is so short.

Enjoy Conflikt. Wish we could be there.

Behold in this pic of Heidi her face whenever the suitcases come out. Vir & Kimba give us the Blue Eyes of Tragedy, while Dorothy simply goes into "NoticeMeNoticeMeNoticeMe..." mode.

Our Christmas trip to PA confirmed something I've suspected for a while: they know that the more stuff we take with us, the longer we'll be away, so the more they freak out. And Christmas is always the most cargo-intensive trip of the year: suitcases & plastic bins of presents & food & wrapping supplies &, &, &... The drama was awesome.


Sometimes I think Lilly is the smartest of the cats.

Well, of course. Siamese pwn ur IQ.
Poor fur babies!
Have a safe trip and have fun.

And the cats should learn to pack themselves in your suitcase. That would solve their problem of you going away and leaving them behind. Of course, that would create a new problem for you but what do they care? It isn't about you, it is about them.
That's true.
Have a good Con, and check your suitcase carefully, you ever know when a cat might decide to see where the monkey goes when she leaves them and doesn't return for more than a night at a time.
Bad kitties.
