dreams, plans, escape

I had a cool dream last night but I don't remember too many of the details. I remember Julie was going to run some game, and I had a character concept, but as I thought more about the world she was running in, I realized that she was morphine more conceptually into an idea that [livejournal.com profile] illumancer had had but discarded for an Exia characters - a female Asian sword dancer type. I think personality wise, I think she was going to be closer to Hazel's Exia character, Mikan. The actual game was going to be sort of anime in style. There were a lot of people playing, all local folks from here (local gamers - not any actual people that I know). Also, at some point my apartment caught on fire and there was hardly anything recoverable. We sort of came by to see, in a quasi-in-game, quasi-out-of-game investigation. People were kind of in character, but it was my place and my things. I remember finding my yellow wrap pants and my stuffed kitten that I got from my grandmother, and that was pretty much it. I remember some of the other characters and npcs, and the strange anime intro sequence, but not much more than that. Strange, anyway.

Today I have to: go buy more paper, lug all my paper up to Eller house, print six copies of my thesis, and take them to the library. That is a lot of lugging for one person, especially one person with no car. I guess I will call someone maybe and see if they can take me to get paper, or take me over to the library later, which might actually be the harder part. I'll be glad to have everything done. h, I also have a tonne of library books to return still.

I *might* get to play D&D tonight. Maybe. We haven't payed the last two (or three?) weeks though, so we'll see.

And finally, I have a hair appointment at 4 today.

I guess I'd better get started on all this stuff - I need breakfast and a shower first off. speaking of showers we are supposed ot get Thunder showers today, oh *joy*!

...actually looking at the interweb tells me that I only need 3 copies of my thesis on expensive paper. I have enough for that (it is ~150 pages, so 450... I have 500). So, I *could* go up to office depot, and buy another 500 sheets 9which will cost me 30$Cad) and then have all nice bound copies. Or I could go just print the three nice copies as needed, and three crappy copies. Or I could go buy 250 sheets of the expensive paper at the (close!) student store for twice the price, and wind up with 4-5 copies on nice paper and a crappy copy for either the dept or Dr. Ewen.

Okay, showered. I guess I will go to campus and start printing, and decide what to do from there.


FUCK! I'm FUCKING FUCKED!

first of all, I haven't left my house yet :p

also.... I have no idea what happened, but somehow my flight fucked up
when I made the reservation, the website somehow dropped the 'from Greenville to Charotte' bit.
Of course I wasn't paying attention, and didn't really look at what they sent me, until I went to give Steve my flight information. So I called and they said they would charge me 100$ booking change fee *plus* the current price of the Greenville-Charlotts flight, which is now almost 4:40$ us on its own. Yeah. I have 300$ on my credit card, Canadian, and that is *all* of my money. That's it.

So yes, I should have been paying closer attention, but on the other hand, it is their site that fucked up. This is giving me a serious case of the Rage. The kind where it is not fit for me to be in the same place as other living human peoples.

I think my problem is sorted. I now I am booked on the greenville to charlotte flight, and now the only questions I am not sure of is 'did they stick me with the whole flight fee?" I get the impression that they didn't, but I'm not *sure*. I hope not because I still can't afford it. Anyway, off to print theses.

Thanks, I *think* it is sorted now.

Dumb things to say to make you feel better

Bugger the first leg of the flight, it's not the important bit right now, getting your thesis printed is. So go do that, lugging heavy books around might help work off some of the rage.

Which Charlotte are you trying to get to? Mapquest lists about 10. I'm going to guess it's not the one in NC (because that would be too easy).

If I weren't leaving on Sunday, I'd agree with you, but the time I have to gegt this shit sorted is rapidly diminishing. And anyway, I did get ahold of someone, and it is sorted. I hope.

That's definitely more deserving of Air Rage than my annoyances; hope it all comes together neatly by the time the weekend's over.
