It's Monday. Monday is not really avoidable.

I'm feeling kind of annoyed in general about a lot of things, and am kind of worried that I've now pissed off / made of fool out of myself in a number of ways in the last several days, and there is some part of me that really wants to just go hide out in a cavern (or maybe a canyon) until everyone has forgotten what an idiot I am (and the mine is thoroughly excavated). I've been feeling more and more like that lately.

I just spent the last several days at notacon in the fantastic city of Cleveland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysmLA5TqbIY . I saw both of the buildings. I bought some food on the street. I was in close contact with the train tracks for the train that carries jobs out of Cleveland. (It really isn't a midwestern trip without trespassing on Amtrak property.)

Now I'm in Erie, PA visiting my dearest friends in the world.

Yeah. My first time out of Toronto since last summer, and well, I don't have much to say about the thrilling destinations. But the people are fantastic!

Anyway, now that you have a vague idea of what is going on, let me proceed.

Things I'm annoyed about in specific:

1. I made a giant fool out of myself at notacon in the "Who's slide is it anyways?" competition, by kind of flashing the audience. I still don't know what I was thinking, but I'm pretty sure I just looked like a complete moron by the end of all of that. Yay being that annoying clueless girl who shows up for the first time at a con and ends up acting like a total whore. I have this bad habit of acting stupid when I'm around lots of people I don't know. *sigh*

2. I unintentionally caused the hacklab sign to break, and now feel really bad about all of that, and am stressing out about the whole thing instead of enjoying being a useless bum in Erie.

2.5. I attempted to make lunch today for Micaela and myself. Somehow, all I managed to create was something that tasted disturbingly like 24 hour truck stop food. It was pretty awful.

3. I dropped my phone today, the gorilla glue is no longer holding up. I really need to replace the thing, but I'm so fucking broke it is not funny, and the whole sign thing is certainly not going to help with that.

4. The pickup truck stopped working, just as we were heading out toward the gun-shaped mall to retrieve Ruth. Yes, Erie has a mall shaped like a gun: http://tinyurl.com/millcreekmall

5. Also, I feel like I've been run over by a truck and am worried that I've annoyed the crap out of my boyfriend and a variety of other people due to a chain of dumb reactions to various dumb situational things, and I really don't know what to do about any of it that won't make it all worse.

Anyway, Ruth has arrived home on the bus of doom, I'm going to go be social, so I don't have to feel guilty about sitting here in the kitchen ignoring everyone too because my laptop and the wifi seem to be at odds with each other. At least the world hasn't run out of coffee or nicotine.
