Thanks hun! *huggles* I hate to be all gloom and doom, but I just had to get that off my chest.

Did I hear correctly that you and Sis are going to meet in St. Louis in March? I had an absolute BLAST there this weekend. Just doing touristy things like visiting the Arch and the Budweiser brewery and all the local pubs we could find. It was a very relaxed and groovy city. If you and Sis go, y'all will have an awesome time. The neighborhood my brother moved into is all pubs and cafes and parks. There is a Chocolate, Cheese and Wine Bar right across the street from his apartment. It's all posh and red and black and dimly lit on the inside (very Moulin Rouge) and they have every dessert and chocolate martini recipe known to man. It is my most favorite place on the planet. You have got to make Brother and Sister take you there and buy one of everything.

Sometimes you need to post those kinda things just to exorcise them. *cuddles*

You did indeedy hear correctly. FANDOM CONFERENCE FTMFW. I'm filling out travel grant applications right now and just blah. Do not want. I mean, want money YES, want paperwork, no. *purses lips* *giggles* Especially since FGS (Faculty of Graduate Studies) has unreasonable expectations as to cost of things, apparently. Ah well, tis less money for me to spend.

CHOCOLATE MARTINI. :/ WANT NOW. *impatient for March, hehehe*
