I realize I forgot to alert people yesterday, but I did make it home, and in one piece :) There was a little bit of anxiety over a few things. I almost missed the airport shuttle, though I'd have probably been okay with a later one, and apparently I'd mis-booked my shuttle home and not noticed somehow when I did it, and when i checked before I left ;p Of course I lost the free Fairmont internet and never managed to get back online after that, so I couldn't check the day before or anything. Anyway, there were enough spaces and i got home, caught up on stuff, and took a nice hot baqth. i think I have mostly divested myself of bits of black makeup.

Ahh yes! I got to play Underworld on my last night in town. it was tons of fun, though I am relaly disappointed I had to miss the end of the adventure - there would have been some epic sruff for my poor little one shot character! Also, I don't even know what happened to her in the end, so I don't know how I would have made it out of the now-demon-infested dark elf city... Which means I don't know if I can play her on the boards, which had been the initial plan. because I need more distractions, right? Still, I got to see (and RP with) shanmonster as well as xypharan, and see another girl I know also, which was sort of an unexpected treat before I got to TO and started planning stuff with Rob.

I made it back to the hotel 15 min before the shuttle was schedule to leave, and got my Dark Elf make-up mostly washed off, and then found out that the hotel hadn't split the bill properly, so i had to go downstairs.... it was painfully slow to get sorted out, so see above. the only reason I did make the shuttle was that the driver was writing out some receipts. But all's well that ends well! I got home, called Jason and Zari, got online, and chilled for a bit. Jola was soooo excited to see me! And then went and fell asleep on my bed <3

I took a loooong bath, and went to bed at a reasonable time (i.e. before midnight).

And now I'm back at work, wooh.

Oh, right, the conference was okay, but I wound up doing more social stuff with Rob than networking. More fun that way, I expect :)

A Blackhawk helicopter crashed on campus a little while ago. Megan and I drove past five of them preparing for some kind of exercise earlier this morning, and I failed to be impressed. Now I am but for all the wrong reasons! 1 dead and 4 injured - not students, but military doing exercises. Still...

I got my Christmas present from Julie :D It is awesome :D I can't say what it is until I know if C got hers though, and she's away this week :/ But once everyone's is accounted for, all shall be revealed :D

I biked home today! In theory I could bike in to school tomorrow also - we'll see, it is more uphill. not *really* hilly, but it is a gradual slpe and I haven't yet mastered my gears. Hey I haven't owned a bike since middle school okay? :V

Yesterday i was reading tf comics in the airport to kill time. I was sitting near some phones, and this little kid kept playing with them and pretending to to make calls everytime I glanced up to check if he was still paying rapt attention over my shoulder. So cute! I started reading extra slow once I noticed him. All Hail Megatron indeed ^-^

Jola is still in that phase where she is worried I'm going to leave her again so is extra excited whenever I come home and is super cuddly. Silly puppy, I may leave but I'll always come back! <3
