I used to go all the time -- I can remember, as a kid, being chased through the hallways in the early morning hours by a bunch of Klingons looking for deodorant. :)Malnurtured Snayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506933474730575045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1149477181787905952006-06-04T23:13:00.000-04:002006-06-04T23:13:00.000-04:00Interesting conventions of conventions.

Mostly due to being clumsy. Yesterday I slammed the dog step of our car right into Glenn's leg. He was annoyed that I didn't see his leg and I said, "I do that to my own leg some days, don't take it personally." <BR/><BR/>I really disliked being on a trip abroad and getting off of a bus with a group of folks that really did act like "ugly Americans" I hate to say it. <BR/><BR/>Of course I'd do it again, because I could leave them and do whatever I wanted on my own and it was an affordable trip due to that package pricing thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1149215627190550852006-06-01T22:33:00.000-04:002006-06-01T22:33:00.000-04:00I go to band competitions because my son is in the...I go to band competitions because my son is in the marching unit.

I am just not dorky enough to be captivated by rolling 11-sided dice and consulting skills tables, so no, never again. <BR/><BR/>I have become a dabbler in RPG's both online and on PS2 though. Evidently I require a dazzling graphical interface.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I used to attend the Rocky Horror Picture Show, but only in costume once. It was Halloween. I was only slightly drunk. And young.Impetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15354915621349760545noreply@blogger.com
