Ahhh Maryland sounds good! Since I am there right now and probably until I get out of college cause i really want to go to the university of maryland, so sounds like a plan! haha.

Hi. What's up, everyone? I'm 15 now!!! WOOT!!!

I got plenty of loot, and had a super fun party.

hectorberlioz · 07-30-2008, 10:35 PM

Plenty of loot...I suspect that refers to your pirating binge?

Congratulations on turning 51!

Yep. I mean... of course it wasn't from that... What are you talking about?

[EDITED because I'm just whining at this point

]

Suffice to say I think I have ample reasons for being irritated with my mom, but I can understand how you wouldn't think so

. Plus I'm not constantly telling her that she's doing the shopping wrong. I asked her a few times if she was too busy to do it, and offered to take it over--that's it.

I noticed in the venting thread you fell ill during my absence, Tess. How are you now?

I'm a lot better

. I have quite a bit of my physical strength back... I think I still get little fevers from time to time, but they don't last and they're certainly not high if they even are fevers... I just get a little overheated and shaky

. My appetites pretty blech, though... Just not ever really that hungry any more and I've lost a fair bit of weight. It'll come back though.

What gets my goat is just that my voice is still really unreliable.

One day I can vocalize for almost an hour, the next I'll barely make 15 minutes. But again, it'll come back I'm sure.

***Earniel*** · 07-31-2008, 05:06 AM

Glad to hear you're on the mend.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 07-31-2008, 09:33 AM

Good...um...morning.

I slept late...and that could go in the happy thread.

Does the moot really have to be in the States? How about in the UK? London, Trafalgar Square!

(Did I write that right?) I mean, no offense to America, but I GUESS that it would approximately lessen the traveling distances for everyone. I don't know, just thought so.

World does'nt end to the eastern and western coasts of America.

I don't think it has to be anywhere... and I doubt everyone who could or would come would make it anywhere.I'm thinking the Formosa and NZ contingents, for example, might have to lift their glasses in absentia.

Personally, I'm 3533 miles (or 5685 kilometers) from Heathrow, and 2391 miles from LA California (that's 3847 kilometers for the distance conversion impaired), but the flight's direct. To go to LA I don't need an extremely expensive and difficult passport, though.

I was thinking, more or less, "Ben's in Boston and New Jersey, and a lot of the frequent posters I know are from the south. Maryland might be a good, easy to reach, compromise."

Real equity would involve a calculation that used posts per day, with a factor of time since registration and then created the geographical equivalent of a venn diagram to pick a site, but my rough approximation would wind up with as many attendees, I'll bet. :P

Disagree. I am in the exact center of the Universe.

That's why travel from this location is all uphill.

Cost effective for some of us and we don't have to wait six months to year for our passport app to go through

**Mari** · 07-31-2008, 01:21 PM

Hehe, going to the US is more expensive than going to the UK. Which is why next week I'll be going to the UK for a moot

Next year I'll have enough savings for a whole month in America ^_^ or more maybe.

Midge · 07-31-2008, 01:28 PM

You could do one in America and one not in America and have all these little Webcams sitting around both places so people could talk and see what was going on. Or we could have it in Antarctica so it's ALMOST equally difficult to go there from wherever people come. Unless they live in Antarctica!

If you look at the people who post, I think most of them, you'll find, are from America. The next biggest group is Europeans, which would make the East Coast probably the most convenient locale (sux to be Sheeana or GrayMouser, though

). That said, I think Europe would be more fun. Particularly, given the theme of this Board, England. More particularly, Oxford. To get more specific, the Eagle and Child Pub. And, to get about as specific as is possible, the table under JRRT's picture.

Are you...are you telling me...that you DON'T have a passport? O.O

We'd have to disallow penguins; it would hardly be fair for them to have it so easy, when the rest of us have it so hard.

I'm talking to you, Hector.

Now I feel special.

I saw a movie last night that reminded me of your ANARCHY RULES post, Sis (that was you, weren't it?)

In the Lion King, the hyenas are dancing around, singing "No king! No king! La la la la la la!" I says to myself, I says, "That is a picture of anarchy." And I kind of laughed a little bit at me being philosophical.
