Well, the current vague plan is a road trip up to SiG, and to hit up some chatters along the way for fun times , refuge and rest.
So..who's down?
I'm on the west coast. But I don't think anybody wants to travel to La Grande to hang out with a relative stranger. However, I should be moving to the Seattle area in the next three or four months.
Nice on moving to Seattle man, I really enjoyed my time spent there during PAX and is definitely a place I could see myself living. I have no clue where La Grande is though.
Man desc, you live in long beach and we've never met up? that's sad!
yes. you are in the LA area? I think this has been mentioned before but I never remember where anyone lives.
We should meet up. I am always up to meet PA peoples!
I live in the cutesy part of Belmont Shores what with the bars and such, even.
I live in Glendale, so yeah, LA area. We should totally meet up sometime, if not as the first leg as my roadtrip, as just hanging out in general would be rad too.
In my perfect world everyone has their first name as their handle, the avatar is your facebook mini-profile button, and your location is the province/state/parish/whatever where you live
In unrelated news I think I'm going to hire a personal assistant
This girl from back in Europe is getting weird. Like there have been several times when I've felt like she was getting a little close but now she is openly talking like we should start seeing each other in a manner other than hanging around together in comic book stores and coffee shops and riding the bus from Amberg together
I'm not really sure what to do about that so I'm going to analyze my options here
Pro: I could be dating a cute girl that I get along with really well
Con: This could end with her hating me
Pro: I would no longer be lonely as fuck
Con: I am presently in love with another girl and I feel like that might make it difficult for me
Pro: I wouldn't have to reject a girl that I consider a close friend
Con: I will only be living in Germany for another 18 months when I return there
Pro: She will be legal by army standards when I get back so you guys can stop calling me a pedo
Con: I still feel like 17 is too young and you'll probably continue it anyway, out of respect for tradition if nothing else
Pro: This could legitimately be good for me in the long run even if it doesn't end well
Con: I would probably just end up pining for aforementioned other girl the entire time, drive this girl away, and then collapse in on myself like a dying star
Pro: Talking to this girl reliably elicits a smile from me, which has been increasingly hard to do for the last... three years. Lately I think it's the only thing that does.

dang you are not far away at all. Anyway I am always up to meet the peeps. Let's hang some weekend this month.
we should get dranks / boardgame it up with my buds who are not total neckbeards I promise / etc

It sounds like you've basically got a hardcore crush on this other girl, my friend. If I were you, I'd see about this girl who's showing active interest in you. The whole smiling thing is kind of a big deal, and it sounds like this is a person who you actually should be seeing.
@Quizzy: You should googlemaps or just plain google La Grande, Oregon. It's... both hilarious and depressing at the same time.

Okay but it's still a really big gamble. I mean the possible outcomes are either: I get over the other girl, magically, and have a healthy relationship, or I do not get over her and then this girl comes to hate me.
Of course the possible outcomes of turning her down are we either continue to be friends, which is a plenty healthy relationship, or she hates me for it. So, uh. Er. Hm.

What if you don't have a facebook?
Well that's a crazy and foreign concept to me but I guess the default picture would be a kitten looking particularly sour

Res take the chance and quit worrying if the whole world will fucking end. She may date you and it goes well and keeps going. It ends and you just go to being friends. It ends and you will hate her or she will hate you. Or you two just drift apart and so on and so on.
Worrying about every possible outcome basically will drive you nuts.

I think you should give it a try, Res. If you like her, and she makes you smile, maybe she's just what you need. Maybe you'll realise you don't need that other girl. I think you'll find yourself regretting it in a couple of years if you don't give it a go. You'll wonder "what if?" and that's no fun. I wondered "what if?" about a guy for seven years before I finally got my chance with him. The relationship didn't go how I wanted to, but I wouldn't take it back for anything. We're still good friends.
I think this has potential. I think you should go for it.

Man, Res... I don't think it's really much of a question. Of course, I'm not in your shoes; fuck, I haven't had a woman seem actively interested in me since... august. But I gotta be honest with you:
Unless you're actually involved with the girl you're pining over (we'll call her girlA), that's a crush. You either gotta take steps there, or put your shades on. GirlB is an actual friend whom you enjoy spending time with; if she's actually attractive, that's a bonus. I'd wager that, if you get involved with girlB, and especially if it's been awhile since you got laid, you're gonna end up not caring too much about girlA.
@Senj&Quiz: Yeah, it's ridiculous. I mean... horseshit-status. Poser hipsters and for-real rednecks all up ins. Country music playing in the supermarket erryday. And lousy with closet racists.
I need to modify my rapier some, which is going to mean learning how to work leather.
Also I am debating naming it...
If you don't name it Needle, I will be very disappointed.
Is there a particular reason for your affection for this name? Because I'm not exactly opposed to it...
In A Game of Thrones, Arya Stark is given a sword. It is implied to be closer to a rapier; as the style she learns has a lot to do with footwork and piercing.
She names the blade Needle as an ironic gesture: she hates sewing.

Ooo! Shore House!

Canadistan is preferred in formal contexts

Some victories are SPIRITUAL victories, not financial.
I did not

we should get dranks / boardgame it up with my buds who are not total neckbeards I promise / etc
I don't think that is how aging works
one of you may have to travel away from the planet at the speed of light for a bit to make that line up
I love boardgames and I love drinking, so, this sounds like a beautiful plan.
I am turning twenty in like three weeks
She is turning seventeen in a couple of months

that is a pretty minimal age difference on the whole

La Grande is nowhere near anywhere I have been in Oregon

That is a small population!
no other batteries or kb/m in the house, so I can't see just how competent this hardware is.
Also I am debating naming it...
it's roughly the size of the town I grew up in

Well it will certainly do that, yes.
Wouldn't hurt. People will probably call me a super geek or freak or whatever. But why not name it. Might give you more of a connection.
Name it after a pacifist.

Mother Theresa was the first name that sprung to mind
