Con.TXT anyone? /loose reptiles / facebook announcement

[tripperfunster]

I am seriously thinking about attending con.txt in DC in June. (multi-fandom slash convention) Is anyone else planning on going? Has anyone else ever attended? WILL YOU PROMISE TO BE MY BUDDY AND HOLD MY HAND WHILE I'M THERE? I've only ever gone to HP conventions, some big, and some small, and I once spent about an hour at a comic.con here in Winnipeg.

TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT!!

Also? There's a snake in my boot house.

Hubby and I can't quite decided on whose fault it is TOTALLY HIS FAULT but we now have a five foot long milk snake loose in the house somewhere. I have looked and looked, but there are multiple places to hide. It's not the first snake we've lost, and the other one turned up so .... yeah. At least my mom won't come to visit any time soon! :D

Funny story: We once had a very small King Snake (ha! I totes typed SNAPE!!) get loose in our store. It was missing for over a month, and I suppose it was getting hungry, so it slithered into one of our finch cages and ATE A FINCH, but was then so fat that it couldn't fit through the bars to get out. Hoisted by his own petard.

Facebook: I AM NOT ON FACEBOOK. I have enough time wasting media (read porn) to slog through every day, and don't really want to add another. But yet, I opened an account a few years ago, because a friend was worried about her son on there, yadda yadda, so anyway, I have an account, but NEVER go there. Just today I realized that I have a bunch of friend requests (from rl and fandom.) Please don't be insulted that i didn't accept/friend you back. I don't do it for anyone, because I'm not actually one there.

No one visiting can be a good thing. ;)

Yes, we did find him. One night, something woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep, so I came out to the living room and was looking at porn surfing the web, and heard this strange *crinkle crinkle* sound. I went to investigate, and it was Megamind (the snake). He was slithering over an uninflated foil balloon! I'm sure I wouldn't have heard it during the day, but in the quiet of night, he was like a trampling elephant! :D

The last time we lost a snake, it was gone for a month, then FELL OUT OF THE SKY and landed on my husband and bit him! :D Okay, maybe not the sky, but it fell from above him. Door jamb? We're not sure, but I laughed my ass off when he told me. :D

Holy hell I would have pissed myself laughing. LOL. That's almost like a cat when it falls, the look of 'I meant to do that' when it recovers. Except a step up. 'I've fallen and YOU are going to pay for it!'

Ahahahaha.

Megamind is a brilliant name for a snake. ;) All internetting after dusk is porn-related, that's just how it is. :P
