petronia: (so not awake yet)
[personal profile] petronia
I haven't posted for three weeks, this is going on ridiculous. But try having MASSIVE WRITER'S BLOCK on two pages' worth of a 7-page essay that is a) being final-edited by someone else on your team and b) supposed to have been done Friday. If anyone is still awake, send moral support.

Birthday party plans--

Date: February 20th because Ced can't make it the 21st, and 22nd I'll be on a Greyhound bus.
Place: TBA (any ideas?)
Invitees: if you're reading this for starters.

Travel plans--

NYC: February 22-28
Brazil (S.Paolo, Ubatuba, Rio): May 19-30

End dates fuzzy, no tickets yet bought, details to come. First weekend in NYC is looking like a proper get-together though, which is nice as the 24th is my birthday. I like the idea of going to a different city and throwing myself a second (third?) party. XD

How have you guys been?

Moral support sent, for what it's worth. Writer's block is a pain. Hang in there!

HGL;GKJASDF was originally planning on flying back to NY/NJ weekend of 22-24, but ummm those plans no longer viable with lack of place to stay, counting in the whole 'do not want parents to know'. ALAS, MAY OUR PATHS CROSS IN THE FUTURE. :(

It might be a tiny bit chilly since you are going at the end of their fall. Brazil will be so fun, but Portuguese is funny! (Sorry Brasilians and Portuguese readers, but it is~)

I loved my S. America travels and want to see more of the continent, tho my friend says her brother thot Buenos Aires was the best part and I've already been there ^_^

So email me and let's coordinate? I like knowing when to expect you, etc. Don't need to bring towel, as I have many XD

I've heard you'll be trekking out to NJ sometime around the 23rd. Will you be here on your actual birthday?

GO SABINA GO.

like a whole hour of it

How did you know? XD

I'm actually going there for school! We'll have most evenings free, though, I think. And it would be awesome if we could meet up there. XD

Thanks~ I did manage to turn in something so I don't feel like a complete d00b, only 50% or so. ^_^;

I have never had to take a hiatus off LJ because of school/work/life pressure before! It's happened to a lot of people I know, but I've always prided myself on, uh, my procrastination skills? Ahaha.

(Not that I'm not procrastinating, but current fandom is conducted thru email which rather puts the kibosh on things. XD)

I will! Or rather will be staying over with Chrissie on the weekend and train-ing into ny, I think. The more I think about it the more I think I should make a Facebook event for my NYC birthday party. XD

It's probably too small, I invited like like 35 people! (Who won't all show, but still: S.O.s etc. etc.)

HA. If you did that, I'd have to finally get a Facebook.

From: [identity profile] smurfmatic.livejournal.com
Well! Thanks for, err, moving the party to the 21st!

I suggested a number of cool places on FB. That'd be the shabu-shabu on De La Gauchetiere, or the adjacent Basilic.

We should hang out sometime this week, or at least the next. I didn't ask you not because of anything else than being super busy and not realizing it, as it is probably your case as well!

From: [identity profile] smurfmatic.livejournal.com
Of course, I meant moving the party to the 20th!

(Yes, there is a Penguins hockey game, to which my brother gave me tickets!)

i would have loved to help celebrate your b-day in nyc, but, erm, i've got a conference paper to write and a dissertation proposal colloquium to prep for. -_-; instead, i'll beam over b-day wishes from across two states. :l

Brazil (S.Paolo, Ubatuba, Rio): May 19-30

!!!!

(PS, nitpick: it's São PaUlo. >3 ...Unless you're talking about a different city?)

From: [identity profile] petronia.livejournal.com
Yeah, sorry about that. XD

Is for school! But evenings will be free, and the end date is negotiable since we fly on our own regardless.

...Sorry about going to Brazil or about the typo? XD

Sounds pretty cool~. I'd suggest you swing down by here, but SC is pretty far away from where you are (a couple of hours' flight).

Date: 2008-02-05 11:15 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petronia.livejournal.com
About the typo. XD

How much is the flight down? I actually asked this at the info session and they said if you have a friend in the country to ask them instead. XD;

Poking around, prices now seem to be about R$300, and I believe the current rate is about ~R$1.50 per $1.00-- so ~$150 round trip? And you could stay with me & my family, so no hotel fares. :)

There'd be only one problem in logistics, namely, that period is smack-dab in the middle of an Important Set of Exams. There's no guarante I'll make it as far as the May-June rounds, but if I do, I'll be in Brasilia, taking the tests and studying my brains out. It's a gamble. XD; I'll have a better idea around mid-March if I'm going or not; but by then, plane tickets will have gone up in price, for you. :X

Plans yet on 24th? Maybe brunch or afternoon tea + museum in the city? Let me know.

Date: 2008-02-08 05:02 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petronia.livejournal.com
General get together with friends. XD Brunch would be lovely, I think.

Oh, hope you make it! Even if it means I don't get to see you then, I guess. XD; Will figure something out either way.
