Half shark, half alligator, half man

Amber's Spectacular Allergy Adventure goes into day three! Yesterday's total sneeze count was about 40, which wasn't bad, but today I'm already ahead of where I was yesterday at this time. And the underside of my chin itches like crazy and I don't know why and I can't make it stop. Also deep within my ears, the itching... Alkajhfsskjhfskhdsk

For Father's Day, my mom and I "gave my dad a rat", but really we purchased in his name bananas to feed a magical HeroRat and $20 for TB sniffings. This was actually at his suggestion, and we are all somewhat enamored of these rats (although their tails still upset my mom).

And I have to mentally prepare myself to spend a lot of money on my plane ticket for New York at the end of the week because frequent flyer miles are for jerks and only work on certain days and boooooooo. I asked what I should wear and Catherine emailed me to ask "Do you have a pair of tight-fitting low rise jeans?"

.... Of course I freakin' don't. It's like she hasn't known me for almost 20 years. And yes yes, boo hoo poor me, I'm being forced to go bar hopping in New York City. I realize that very few people are sympathetic, but it's just not my scene. And I will be the only person not drunk, so I guess that makes me the designated cab-hailer. :F

There's a thunderstorm going on, but I don't think it'll last much longer. Ah, well.

Bar-hopping? Buh whaaa?
Are you going this weekend?

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's my friend Megan's bachelorette party, and she lives in New York, and her bridal gays live in New York, and...it's her kind of thing.

It's all lost on me.

Ah, ok. Actually I'll be down there Saturday visiting Sean and Alice (otakon con chair and president) and getting Terry Chu to come out of Harlem to socialize.
If you're all barhopping there's this bar on W44th called the Irish Rogue that's sorta snazzy and decent and not ALWAYS so crowded pending on time.

I told Jeff your dilemma yesterday with this. Perhaps we should see if we can make a trip to the torture museum again this summer to make up for the fact you're being forced to bar-hop. At least for mine the only bar we went in was for eating purposes, even though it was rather sketchy. I like to think the reason we made it out of there safely was because of my impressive knowledge of the Brewers. Or something like that.

I want a giant HEROrat! ;O;

You have my sympathy. I'm forced more often then I'd like to barhop in New York without drinking. I'm in the city now, for example, while my boss goes out drinking with the client. It's a bunch of no fun in a loud, crowded, dimly lit place.

Hope your nondrunken journey is better than mine.
