one more day down, 5 more to go
oh god. so many things to do. so doooooooomed. I wonder if I could pull a packing all-nighter?
today I had lunch at campus ToI with![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nickjong and dvarin. Sigh, probly last ToI food ever. We hung out for an hour or two talking, and then I went to shadyside and got my engagement ring appraised at the jewelry people's place. Then I came home for a bit and unplugged all of my video game consoles. Do any of you remember that Penny Arcade strip where Gabe and Tycho find the skeleton of their dead roomate who got entangled in the back of their entertainment system? I felt sort of like that today.
I went to dinner at Fathead's with bunches of people and then played D&D at Pod's house, but I was still distracted by everything. Blargh. I think we killed some fire creatures, as a continuation of last week's adventure, but I missed that so I could go to the DDR tournament (which in retrospect was a good choice). Anyway. Came home, now I am more worried than ever about this whole packing thing.
I'm not going down to Otakon until Friday morning. But I'll be there until Sunday morning. Those of you who are going, PLEASE FIND ME! I'll have my cellphone with me at all times and the number is in this entry if you're on my friends list. I have no plans for meals on Saturday at all, and I don't have anyone to go around with in particular, so I'd love to find people to hang out with...
I drove by CMU tonight on the way home and almost got sort of teary-eyed over it. Ah, CMU, the only place I've really considered home in the last decade... for the last eight (or nine if you count that summer that I spent 300 hours in Baker Hall trying to write stuff in Fortran to run on the Connection Machine) years, it has been my geographical focal point. CMU has sucked so much of my life, my sleep, my money, and my soul, but it will still always be home. Well, until they knock down all the buildings I'm familiar with and build newer bigger better crap. But, whatever. I knew I'd leave someday, but now that the day has actually come, I'm a little freaked out about it.
I don't know if I'll have a computer to post from tomorrow night, since they'll probly pack it, so... eh, maybe I'll post from my brother's place in Baltimore, and then you might not hear from me much until we're settled in Seattle. Oh, man, I can't imagine the friends list backlog. Whee.
