Curse you, Boxerman!

If the rewriting has its way, this is going to turn into a much longer but hopefully less awful story. ...yay, maybe?

Have link-hopped my way into some information that I fully plan on working with for it, too (miniedit: the more I poke around with this, the crazier this all becomes. Awesome). In theory, it'll be neat, or something. Actuality remains to seen, of course. Might spam Aniko about it later, but think she's busy helping my brother with something. Blast! (Though, on the off chance you see this... HELP: PLOT DECISION)


Insert very long, very angry (maybe more "confused," actually) rant about father here.


I can't decide if it means my cat favors the Decepticons or the Autobots. I have some Transformers magnets on the fridge. Two of them are just large faction symbols with the initial movie release date underneath, from ordering stuff through Hasbro's website. The other four are smaller square images of movie characters that my mother saw and bought for me while she was in CA. I've got Bumblebee, Prime, Megatron, and Barricade. Possibly in that order, actually.

My cat likes to claw the Autobot magnets off the fridge - especially Bumblebee. There are quite a number of magnets on the fridge, but she only goes for the Autobot ones. Does she do this because she hates the Autobots and wants them off the fridge? Or does she do this because she likes the Autobots and so pays more attention to them?

Or, you know... is she just very strange?

NERVES, if you'd rather. We are sorry. My brain has defaulted to Al Bhed again. (Actually, it's a bizarre Spanish and Al Bhed mashup, which is even worse. "Estamos cunno," indeed.) I will try to type in English.

It's just caught up with me fully. It's a little over two weeks to BotCon and I am starting to stress out a bit. My parents still have the disposable phone they bought for my brother back in November when he drove himself back to campus alone (for the first time) in a blizzard. They're sending it with me, but I don't know how to answer it.

I've tried, but of course to make it ring, I have to dial it and, while watching me try to dial one phone while trying to answer another is probably hilarious, it is not something I appear to be at all capable of. Curse you, rotary phone. And when I have my parents home, they always just show me rather than letting me actually answer it, which is the only way I'll reliably learn it. So I'm going to go to Cincinnati with a phone that I can barely even turn on, never mind answer or use to call someone with. HELP AUGH.


Also, transportation from the terminal. I have never in my life hailed a cab. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THESE THINGS I LIVE IN VERMONT. I can navigate subway systems in Japan and Montreal, and I even managed the Japanese bus system (why was I able to figure out everything in Japan when none of it was in English? I will never understand that), but I don't know the first thing about getting a taxi and getting them to take me somewhere.

Doesn't help that the only time I've been in a taxi, the driver nearly killed all of us several times. That was a horrifying night.


Also, despite the amount of travel I've done, I have never actually gone anywhere completely by myself. AAAAH!


Any help or advice or anything anyone has to offer would be greatly appreciated.
