Well, Tug is the typical gay man and won't get off my ass til I post something about the con.

I had a lot of fun at the con. We left for Chicago on Friday once Lindsay got into town. Poor Lindsay, I really thought that I was going to break her mind with this little vacation. The drive down was fast as always with Nemi driving. We checked into the hotel and Lindsay started to get a bit eeked out. I started pointing out people in tails or ears or even fursuits and she couldn't even look at them. After we got settled in the hotel room, Mitok, Bunny, Don, Tug, and his friends all appeared. We chilled for a little bit and then went to pick up our con badges and to visit Fishy in the Artist's Alley. We went to dinner at this horribly tacky little diner... As if someone in Italy took LSD and designed a diner that only they saw in their mind from the 1950's. We went back to the con and caught the end of Uncle Kage and saw all of 2 the Ranting Gryphon. It was cool because they talked back and forth for about an hour, charing funny stories and adventures. Really relaxed and informal. Saturday, I got up super early and went to a talk on duct tape dummies and basic fursuit construction. No one was awake when I went out. In fact, I was on my own til lunch time. The Whitewater furs and Tug's group all met up and went to eat at TGI Fridays and had a blast ordering a ton of food (including deep fried mac n cheese, who knew?) and informing the waiters of what exactly we were all wearing ears and tails for. The rest of Saturday was spent watching the Fursuit Parade and running between the Artist's Alley, the Dealer's Den, and the auction. Lindsay hid in the room that day and only ventured forth for food. Sunday was much of the same. Lunch was at Potbelly's, Nemi won a wonderful Kitsumi drawing in the auction, we ran about, Lindsay hid in the room. For dinner, Tug, Nemi, Lindsay, and I went to have hibachi for dinner. Tug and I love hibachi. Nemi and Lindsay had never had it before. They loved it. The cook put on a good show, the food was yummy, and very filling. We had the Dead Dog party on Sunday night, but Lindsay, Bunny, Don and I ditched it because none of us knew the people there and weren't really comfortable with being in the room as the strangers were being loud and stupid. So we played Egyptian Rat Screw in the lobby for an hour or so. Lindsay, Nemi and I drove back to Whitewater on Monday and that was the end of that.

And so, with my boss looking over my shoulder, I'll at least post some of the quotes that highlighted our wonderful weekend.

Let's start off with Lindsay, leading up the con. Lindsay is not a fur and she had no idea what a fur was until she actually got into the Hyatt.

Will there be herbivore/carnivore capture the flag? ~Lindsay before MFF

I blame you that my meeting with my professor about my paper on animal imagery was uncomfortable. He made the comment of "The poet certainly mentions foxes a lot..." ~Lindsay on Tuesday after MFF

I didn't get to see Tug much during the con, but he did say something that made me giggle, other than the usual tug-isms...

I've got a unicorn between my legs... ~Tug

Random quotes:

You ever think of a comeback that could make someone die of embarrassment? You know, a neuron jerks itself off and you can say just the right thing at the perfect moment. ~2

Fishy's new thing is scat! ~Proclaimed proudly by FishyBoner

You look so rape-ably fresh. ~I don't remember who said this, but it was most likely Fishy.

mum managed to just completely wipe out all the relaxation that i had after this lat week. i hate it here so much, all the time. there are only 2 good things about this place: i have someplace to store all my stuff and my bed here is comfortable. every waking moment that i spend here, she manages to twist everything in order to keep me off balance and in perpetual disorientation. nothing i ever do is right, i'm not allowed to cook, or listen to music loudly, or see my friends. i'm trapped. and now that i went away for 3 days, i'm being punished and forced to stay with her for the next 14. i hate it here. i hate being cut off from everyone.

ok, so i'm horrible at updating this thing. let's see, whats new... well, i'm tired, stressed, and crabby. finals are next week and after that i have to move home. i don't have a job yet, so this weekend i'll be reading the classifieds and praying that i can get a job where i don't have to work weekends. i've been sleeping like crap and as of right now, i'm not looking forward to this summer.

me: so, tug, what are you going to give up for lent?
tug: i have no idea...
me: oh, you could give up being a gay unicorn!
tug: no! i mean... wait...

Re-post this for me to answer your questions?:

had a really fun weekend. i haven't seen the inside of my dorm room since friday before work. friday night we went over to Mitok's and ended up having an unplanned sleepover. cuddles galore! saturday we went to menominee falls and brookfield to do laundry and i had to pick up my bowling shoes. when we got back to whitewater, we had a bowling night with Nemi and i, Leigh and Paul, Joel and Crystal, Nick and a friend of his. we just goofed around and bowled some ok games. sunday Joel invited us to his super bowl party and we drank and laughed at the game because none of us could take it seriously. the commercials were ok, only a few were really decent enough to be remembered. monday classes were canceled because it was so freezing down here. Nemi and i went to see Smoking Aces with Leigh, Mitok, and Tug. we went back to Mitok's and he made us a really yummy dinner. we ended up watching Donnie Darko because Nemi and Paul had never seen it. it's been a really fun weekend. but classes resume tomorrow and i have to get up early for ballet. uck. i've been so busy!

bowling was so much fun tonight
the other team was made up of cool people
they even bought us jager bombs
now i'm hyper
i'm glad i joined the team

a fun week that leaves me with more questions than answers
my brain puzzling through what ifs during classes
hopefully i won't be too distracted this semester
there's no earthly way of knowing
which direction i am going
but i'm not complaining
