Well, good to see I'm not the only one going crazy-go-nuts over trying to get all the details done after a move.
Zing and I just got our own place finally, and suffice it to say, it's been hell. We've yet to get all our stuff in here, and I've been a total mess. Seeing as the closing date ended up 5 days before we took our Disney vacation, (even though we were told it'd be after), I've felt a little over-exhausted. Not to mention that two weeks after that vacation, GameStop had their Vegas conference, so yeah, add that to the load.
Not to mention that since it's an "as is" mobile home, (which is actually in great shape), I had issues with the central air unit outside; apparently when we were in Orlando, big crazy mofo storms took the life of our A/C unit; SO IT NEEDED REPLACEMENT! JAWESOME! There's $2,500 down the crapshoot.
Now our fridge is dying, I finally got one of the ceiling fans replaced... oh, did I mention I still don't have all our damn boxes in the house and unpacked yet?
I need a bullet through my head. ;___;
I can devour you if you wish.
i've been in the process of trying to move for a month now, and i think i can fully sympathise. *has no idea where any of her stuff is, as her mum insisted on her packing it into boxes two weeks ago*
just another three weeks of sleeping on various sofas and camping beds, yaaay! ^.@
(although this may turn out great for my university projects. i'll end up working as i'll not have any books, computers, books, comics or books to destract me. >> huzzah for utter ennui)
*flings pillows and marshmallows at jin and dub until they give themselves a rest for a bit!*

Though, quite seriously, Dubsie. When you're all settled in New York and I'm all settled in Illinois, I shall hop a damned train to glomp you (read: have a vacation in New York using your house as crash space because it saves money on a hotel)
You'll forgive me if the person who's losing one of her best friends and is going to have to listen to him getting excited about whooping it up with another one who she hasn't even been able to afford to see in person for two years just sits here and goes a livid shade of green...
I'm sorry, Craig, but I had to find out about this whole thing a week after the event, from Tricia rather than you. And we both know that I'm not the only person who's taken you aside and upsided you for not telling them.
I'm going to be a little more impersonal now, and I know that I'll get accused of peddling my own agenda by people who don't know what we've talked about, but we both know the names I'm not mentioning in order to protect people.
And for just a moment, I'd like you to stop all of this OMFG-the-US-is-where-everyone-is-and-it's-so-friggin'-amazing-and-I'll-get-to-meet-everyone-ness and openly acknowledge that there're people right here and right now who've been your actual, tangible friends for years and through one heck of a lot before you had all of this US-ness, who won't be able to be among this "all" you're hanging out with, you might even miss and who who're certainly going to miss you!
'Cos we haven't merited a single mention so far.
And again, I'm sorry, but you told me after I upsided you to call it as I saw it, and you're coming across as more than a tad insensitive again, to say the least.
There's a time and a place for such things, an open forum on a sonic site is not it.
(Personal messages, phone calls would have been more appropriate.) =/
And here comes the first person who thinks that I'm just talking about me...
I'm not apologising for the sentiment, Nuke, and I'm not going to make an entire point about multiple people being publicly sidelined where nobody can see it, because that defeats the point as far as I'm concerned.
(We already had a 'phone conversation on the subject, by the way.)
Craig and Trish're both my friends and I'm happy for them. Craig knows that, because I've told him.
But it's been over two weeks with no mention whatsoever of any of his existing friends by anyone, I'm not going to ignore that, and even if some people're feeling too awkward about it to mention it publicly, I'm not.
Anyone who doesn't understand what I'm saying's welcome to take it up with me privately.
Ya know, I have no idea what to type here. By acknowledge the people I'm leaving behind, do you mean getting all "I'm gonna miss you all ;__;" because there's over half a year left until I go, I'm intending on coming back for (at least) Bristol every year and I'm intending to meet with everyone I care about before leaving. Posting "I'm gonna miss you allllll" is going to sound empty and hollow on an internet messageboard which I'm not going to leave, I'd prefer to deal with that in person.
Plus, it's like May next year, I'm not ready to be all serious and solemn about all this until at least after Christmas, for now I'd just like to treat the entire thing as a distant dream in the long future and make outrageous plans which probably wont happen and just ride the thread.
You'll notice I'm not the one who brought meet-ups to the topic, I just responded with a typically over the top joking responce after Jin, Hiro, Dub and Trish had already declared all the "letz all meet ups!!!"ness.
I don't exactly see what I did wrong there. If I was the one to declare HAY LETZ MEET UPS! then I might be accused of just trading my old friends out for new ones, but I have no intention of that.
I'm even sure I mentioned I would be Bristol'ing still, at least after I have the funds stablised to be able to.
Even as I post this, I'm not sure what I should be doing or what I've explicitly done wrong (which undoubtably means I'm in deeper trouble through posting this, and am probably only doing so because not replying at all is only marginally worse) but I dunno...
It was never my intention to hurt anyone. It's clear I have.
I leave this reply in public as I believe it's what you wished for, by insisting to keep your replies as such. If this is not the case, feel free to nuke this post after reading.
As someone who HAS BEEN in this situation, I'm going to say to both of your asses, and to whoever else may be involved in the whole "mess":
shut the hell up. Seriously. For one, Nuke is actually right; this shoulda taken place personally. I don't care if you both have already talked, Sam, but this pouring out in public is quite a bit of uncalled drama. And Craig, you didn't help by actually replying to it.
Here's my point on things: Craig, if it's true what Sam says that you are all buddy-buddy super best friends BFF rings and everything, then yeah, you suck for not personally telling her, cuz honestly, that shnit hurts. Wanna know how I told my best friend I was moving from Miami to IL? After I invited him over my house, Zing's mother called me, asked if I wanted a crutch to move out of Miami and start anew over there with her daughter, the love of my life; I was ecstatic, said yes, hung up, then rushed back to my bedroom where he was chilling, and said "DUDE, I'M MOVING OUT TO IL!!!"
After I later talked to him about it, he said he felt his heart break and was down the rest of the day. I can only imagine how he would have felt if he had found out by someone else.
Granted, we don't keep in contact, so it's not like if you would have found out, and you knew about my past experience, you could have gone to me, and I could have given you some sort of "break the news" advice. It's a once-in-a-life-time moment, and you live and learn. You screwed up, and you hurt some people. Apologize, show them your friendship, let them know when, and party like it's 1699 till you're gone.
Sam? I'm a little surprised, to say the least. This should've stayed private, even if Craig told you to "call it as you see it". Now everyone knows, and people might be saying, "Well crap, Craig's kind of a dick," or, "wow, Sam... harsh", when obviously people don't know the whole deal. That, and Craig made a point: he never did a "WOOT MOFO US MEET UPS TIMES", that was more of a other-people-thing, with a little bit of Trish, so, bad call.
I'm pretty sure he's not stupid and won't MISS all the people he will leave behind. I miss my family and my two best friends I left behind, and I keep in contact with them as much as I possibly can. It's hard to, especially since I am the worst at keeping up, (ask anyone, even my own mother and father), but it's do-able. If you don't allow each other to disappear, it won't happen.
Another point for Craig: it's not till May... don't wig out. He's right in not feeling COMPLETELY saddened by the whole ordeal, because honestly, it probably hasn't sinked in yet. In fact, depending on how much of a softy he is, (or if he's like me), he will break down the night before.
Now that you know, enjoy the time between now and departure, you've got plenty of time; don't procrastinate, though. It'll be May before you know it.
With all that said and done, I should lock this up, but I won't. I should delete both of your posts to each other here, because it REALLY doesn't belong here, but I won't because, well, I think I may be overstepping my boundaries, and you both need to look stupid over the whole thing.
If I get a green light to delete, though, I will, including my own post. Sorry if I upset either of you with this, but I took your whole bantering a little personal because, @#%!, I've been there.
Toodles
^^; a quick note... after a bit of PMing and IMing on different sides, a lot of it seems like it's been taken care of.
I really hope this is the end of the drama though, I didn't intend for any of this to come about because of a simple announcement. So yeah. Carry on with happy thoughts, people!
**hugs to all!** THIS IS SMILE TIME

LNR covered with hot sexual pudding pics plz!

You do realize that we, the readers, become victims in such battle.
...
BRING IT
Psx, you fool! Don't tell them that!
*starts building bomb shelters* o-o; dub on a rampage of pudding? even the thought scares me.
The thought makes me want to grope my manboobs.
Wow, this is some thread. Starts off cheerful, goes into a wee bit of drama, then descends into complete weirdness.
I love this place!
jin's moobs = complete wierdness?

ooh, minus ten points for that!
and yes, Qi, is made of all known and unknown kinds of win!
... ... que?
So now we have pudding, Jinsoku's manboobs, and some British show.
Anything else we can add in?
For the record, I don't really have manboobs. I don't know how else I could have said that it made me want to "rub and wet my nipples" without causing MoFo havoc... so I subbed for manboobs.
But Jin, everyone has nipples! Unless you are some nippleless freak
Steven Fry for Emporer of the Universe. *nods sagely*
So wait....
I heard that if you rub a Jin's lamp three times, then you'll get a wish.
WELL LET ME TELL YOU I AIN'T RUBBIN' ANYTHING ON JIN NO WAY NO SIR NOW, AND I ESPECIALLY AIN'T RUBBIN' HIS "LAMP".
....or is that a djinn? i forget.
Rub some pudding on Jin
. . . I'm not touching the rest of this subject with a 40 foot pole. o.o
WHERE HAS THIS THREAD GONE XD XD
~Shadowed Spirit Sage
To the gutter. It is where all things go, on a long enough timeline... and in a sense, where all things originate from, too.
Whose gutter?
Silly Ultra.
To say one is "Gutter minded" is to imply they are thinking of intimate relations. Thusly we can assume the term Gutter refers to sex, as minded is self explinatory.
Thusly, all topics become sex and all life is born of sex.
Which is disgusting.
As long as i'm getting an invite to the wedding, i'll be pleased (nb- i might not be able to get over there, but it's the thought that counts!)

What news to come back to! Congrats to SSS and Craig! I wish you guys a lifetime of the greatest memories and experiences.

Congratulations, you lucky dogs. ^^
Wow. I should have read this topic before. Congrats you two! ^_^ I hope you have happiness in the future and for many years to come.
