CANNOT WAIT FOR YULETIDE and YAY for pumpkin beer!!

Good luck traveling into Middle America. Having spent 4 years close(r) to the middle, it's not too scary, especially if you're with good people, which you will be :)

(and yay for #7 :)

People keep asking if I'm in for Yuletide and I keep being surprised, like, isn't my IN beaming from me like sunshine? Because innnnn.

Yes, I am very fortunate in the people I will be with! And fairly close, as I understand it, to the Mississippi. But I can't imagine it not feeling weird to know you're more than an hour from the ocean!

#7 uuuuuuugh Dylan O'Brien is going to be the lechery-inducing death of me. *___________*

YES!! I mean… Ten years. It's part of my life for a decade. I can no more say I'm not in for YT than I can say I'm not going to breathe anymore.

But I can't imagine it not feeling weird to know you're more than an hour from the ocean!

Hee. If you'll be close to the Mississippi, you should be okay :) I'm… further away from the ocean than an hour, but I am about a fifteen minute run from the Lake they call Michigan :) Going to the further west, though, to the plains… That can be a little isolating. (I went to school in Iowa :)

My understanding, though, is that normal people do not find this to be vaguely claustrophobic

those aren't normal people.

I hope your knee works itself out, I'm also garbage at being in pain. being in pain is categorically, the worst.

I have pumpkin spice rooibos tea from trader joe's. it's pretty much the shit.

This is my feeling!!! Don't they realize you need a really big salty body of water nearby in order to be a complete person?

I'm sure my knee will be fine. There's like, no bruise, no swelling, and no broken-looking parts, so I'm sure I just strained something. I am sometimes jealous of people who are brave little toasters in the face of pain, but personally I become a sad little, idk, the opposite of toaster. Sad little ice cube tray? That sounds about right.

...that tea sounds amazing. And so perfectly fall!

I don't care about the saline content, just whether or not I can see the other side! The important things. I also dislike flatness. Which makes going to the suburbs vaguely terrifying.

Freshman year of college I like, barely broke my elbow but nearly threw up when they wanted me to straighten it out for x rays. I remember thinking "I could never be Sydney Bristow :("

it's SO good, and caffeine free for when I'm like "but whyyyyyy can't I have chai at 8pm?"

HI I MISS YOUR FACE.

I could be sold so hard on POI. I do have a habit of picking up new fandoms under stress!

I miss yooooou. Someday when we both have time, we will have to marathon! ...so, 2014 maybe? *G* But for real, willing to sell you on POI, it is super enjoyable.

AND I don't get its acronym mixed up with Torchwood, which has been a problem in other fandoms, not that I'm naming names or anything, okay it kind of rhymes with Peen Golf.

Yes, yes, yes to everything you say about H50. Very disappointing, but I still love the team.

Your knee should get better!

The team is still made of greatness--quite frankly, Steve and Danny still totally ping for me. If the show changed its ways just a little bit, brought back more of that S1 vibe, I'd be back in right quick.

I wish healing was powered by impatience! Knee, I don't have time for you to hurt right now, come on--boom, better. *grins*

Are you coming to my middle of the country?

Wait, where specifically is your part of the middle? I lump all of the middle together into Chicago or not-Chicago! I will email you.
