stinkin shallow procastinator (updated)

flomojopoanode by flomojopoanode · Jun 16, 2003 · 442 views · Journal

Yep, that's me. A couple months ago my parents told my sister and I that they were not going to our District Convention. Well, Jamie thought about this and realized..."where would I stay?" But me...I was like "Okay, have fun!". Now Jamie has arrangements to stay in a hotel room with another girl, but I have no arrangments. And I realized all of this a couple weeks ago, but I still have not tried to make arrangements. That's where the procrastination comes out, you see. So here I am, it's June 16th, and I am supposed to be going to the Convention from June 27-29. What am I going to do!?


UPDATE


Well, I'm staying at the Marriott, that's for certain. I'm so happy! I can't wait to see some of you at the convention! Special thanks to Joe for his kindness in offering me a place to stay.

togatweeter #3.2 togatweeterOG 2003

katiedid #3.3 katiedidFounder

web-toedchloe #3.3.1 web-toedchloeOG 2001

thefunkyfresh #3.3.1.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

Doing sit ups in those shared underwear together... Feel the love?

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

flomojopoanode #3.4 flomojopoanodeFounder

hmm, Thanks! I'm interested. Are you driving in every day? (I assume so) Who's car are you taking? Do you really have enough room for me? Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE I wouldn't be a bother? These are things to think about. Then get back to me. Thanks so much!

thefunkyfresh #3.4.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

are you SURE i won't be disturbing you?? are absolutely CERTAIN i won't be disturbing you? won't be disturbing? because i wouldnt want to disturb you.

flomojopoanode #3.4.1.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 skaorsk8

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 forrestina

it is pure quality. my mom got it for me when i was sick in 7th grade, and i went to school the next day and said "my mom got me monty python and the holy grail!" and all the other kids went "wooooah. dude you have the best mom EVER!"

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 skaorsk8

haha my dad would probably say it was stupid i think he only likes star trek and little rascals...oh and old westerns like his dad

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

yes! i knew you would know it

deanh77 #4 deanh77Founder

that's edison's. I'm contemplating taking the train. it would be interesting.

skaorsk8 #4.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

i have alwyas kind of wanted to take the train. do you live in booton still? i'm thinking that would take forever. like 3 hrs there. something ridiculous. actually, if i took mass transportation there, i would drive to the ferry, take that to the port authority, get on the LIE there. just a thought.

deanh77 #4.1.1 deanh77Founder

nah, I live in Edison.

deanh77 #4.1.2 deanh77Founder

yeah, I've got no idea how long it would take, but its only like 40 minutes to penn station from me.

#5.1 snowykoalaOG 2003

thatdarngirl #5.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Really..interesting. I keep seeing the name and thinking 'female'

malibu #5.1.1.1 malibuOG 2001

me too. i'm always thinking, "wow i wonder who this new girl is?"

thatdarngirl #6 thatdarngirlOG 2002

You can drive in all three days! It's really fun. I get to do it this year for the first time, by myself. I really can't wait. Over two hours of non-stop NY traffic fun! Or..Hotel Troatta!!

malibu #6.1 malibuOG 2001

man i totally wanna bunk hotel trotta. josh said we get the whole basement to ourselves. don't know why that would be unexceptable. we could help him play mean tricks on his sister!

thatdarngirl #6.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

No..I totally shot gun Josh's room (with the wonderful black walls) and he can have the basement

malibu #6.1.1.1 malibuOG 2001

but he gave us the basement. i think its black down there too.

fivezero #7 fivezeroOG 2003

Why are you shallow, Mr. Flomo?

flomojopoanode #7.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

I said I was shallow because I didn't grasp the concept of "I have to find my own way to stay for the convention". I merely thought, "well, have a good time at the wedding, mom and dad." I consider that shallow, because I didn't think about the implications of the situation. Look at me! I'm a moron!

fivezero #7.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

ohhh, you mean shortsighted?!

flomojopoanode #7.1.1.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

oh, that's wayyy better than the word I used. Thanks. Shortsighted it is. Not just "short", cause that'd be thai.

punkprincess #8 punkprincessOG 2001

HEY! yer in my convention!! thats so kool!

ok4now #8.1 ok4nowOG 2002

(notice she didn't offer you a room...)

flomojopoanode #8.1.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

lol, she's probably intimidated by me, right tina!? ;) (how could you be?)

punkprincess #8.1.1.1 punkprincessOG 2001

hahaha yea... intimidated... or the fact that i cant offer someone else's house... since im staying at someone's.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

HEY! i HATE you! you're staying at "someone's" house? i shouldnt let you stay at my house just for that comment! JERK! hahah

S
snowykoalaOG 2003

hahah, you are just a someone

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder

hey, she was protecting you, silly. You don't want me and a bunch of other losers asking you if we can stay at your house, too, do you?

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

i'm staying at jahanna's house. it's suprisingly comfortable, considering all the unncessary kitchen space she has.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

Yahanna, why haven't you called me for the kitchen yet?

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001

haha, did you read todd's comment...? thats exactly why i didnt write your name... but then again, if people couldnt figure that out, i guess theyre pretty dumb.

flomojopoanode #8.2 flomojopoanodeFounder

well, then, I can't WAIT for my assembly! Hope to see ya there

thefunkyfresh #9 thefunkyfreshFounder

flomojopoanode #9.1.1.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

hunkpapap #10 hunkpapapOG 2003
