[wedontsayCali]

:bye:

I hope you don't have to stay up too late, Kelley. :telepath: And I'm glad you had fun at your soccer game! :w00t: I am sorry that you're dead now, though. :console:

Thanks. :smooch: Being dead is my fault. I'm so out of shape. inch:

That's great! No injuries I hope! :lol:

Ohhh luck! :telepath: :telepath:

Nope, but I think I'm going to be very sore tomorrow. inch:

Thanks. :smooch: I just talked to my mom, who knew of course, so she is going to help me with detail because she knows the details. So for now I was told to just write and she would look over it tomorrow. I love my mommy.

Okay I better get back to it. I got half a page down.

:bye:

Oh youch! :console:

Great! She'll be a great help cause she'll fill in all the blanks. ^_^ I know you do. :lol:

Luck!

 

[nsspense]

I think that's lucky. Maybe you will be able to just sit back, relax, and enjoy it! But the real answer is - you root for who I tell you to root for! :weights: :whip:

:lol: I am of course kidding. :lol:

:lol: I kind of like Peyton but :fireman: was born in Chicago and he says that's why I should go for them :lol: That and talula's :whip:

Nsspense, may I please pick your brain for a second?

yes, please do :smooch:

 

[SweetiePie]

yes, please do :smooch:

Yay!

Okay... if you fly into Baltimore, how does one get from Baltimore to DC? Train? Bus? Are there shuttles from the airport?

 

[nsspense]

:lol: That's a great question, Grace. The easiest and most common thing to do is get someone who loves you to fight the traffic, drive the 45 minutes and come get you.

But there is a shuttle that will take you to a DC metro station, which is probably your best option. Here is a web site for that. shuttle to DC metro station

On that same web site you will see in white letters "Ground Transportation" and it lists other options that are available. The ones I know go to DC are: MARC trains, AMTRAK (all over the U.S.), SuperShuttle (goes to Northern VA, so probably DC), and of course taxis are always an epensive but viable option

 

[talula62]

you know I put that down first and I thought to myself that with an "e" is the feminine version, so I changed it :lol:

I think my cousin's daughter's name is spelled with an "a." Wackiness.

ok, I'm gonna call it an early night...I have lots to do this week...gotta get my PhD app finished and sent in as well as the normal homework...so, I might be around sporadically. We'll see. At any rate, g'night everyone.

Hope you get everything done without too much trouble! (Though I'm sure you will.) :hi:

:lol: I kind of like Peyton but :fireman: was born in Chicago and he says that's why I should go for them :lol: That and talula's :whip:

:rotfl:

I've actually gotten a good bit of work done today. yay!

 

[nsspense]

Oh and Grace? I'm sure you've come across this site in your searches, but this is transportation once you're in DC wmata (washington metropolitan area transit authority)
And more specifically, the Metro map Metro

If you look at the Green line and go all the way to the upper right corner where it ends, you'll see Greenbelt station, and that's where the shuttle from BWI airport would drop you off urthumbsup: (eeww! I hate theirs! :lol

ETA: Ok, I need to go to bed! I'll talk to you guys tomorrow!
Grace, if you want to know more just let me know :smooch:

 

[wedontsayCali]

3 pages!!! I love double-spacing!!

It only has to be at minimum 4 so I'm doing good. With details from my mom and another paragraph and then a conclusion I should make four pages.

:lol: I knew we kept you around for a good reason. :smooch: Thankyou. But ah... I think Washington is getting the boot. I'm gonna add an extra week to NY over Thanksgiving, push my dates to Boston and Toronto back, and then I should fill in all that time. So much for setting all my dates in concrete yesterday. :lol:

:lol: Don't you have to do it by word count? :lol:

 

[wedontsayCali]

:lol: Don't you have to do it by word count? :lol:

Nope. It just has to be 4-6 pages double-spaced. I think I'm done for tonight though, I can't look at it anymore and all I really have left is the conclusion. Plus I have some more Italian homework to do so I can study during my hour break before that class tomorrow. :glare:

 

[talula62]

ldhi: again dani! i'm off to bed soon, have a good one everybody! :group:

 

[Kathy]

I'm at Itunes and I'm just wondering, Is prison break any good? Which ep are good? I have never seen the show. I can't believe they don't have House, ER, Third Watch. :blink:

 

[Vaughney]

ldhi: Hello again.

They put up a temp board, but this is our home away from home, I think. :lol:

What happened? Temp board? I tried to get in there 3 different ways and never got any message. Geesh.

I checked out the temp board, and we're not even registered. :blink: It feels more comfy here anyway.

 

[Firecracker]

ldhi: Hello again.
I checked out the temp board, and we're not even registered. :blink: It feels more comfy here anyway.

I tried to visit SD-1 this morning and got an error message, but not on the SD-1 site, it was a company internet page, like when it times out. So I just thought that for some reason, my company's internet didn't like SD-1 this morning. Went to do some work, came back, still the same. I don't have the URL for the LJ site on this computer, so I decided to try here, and look - here you all are!

There's a temp board? We're not registered? Who's not registered - everyone, or just us?

I don't know if my brain can cope with the swapping between smilies :blink:. I was *this* close to posting a TML chapter last night! Mind you, if I had, no-one would have been able to read it I guess

 

[songofsongs]

yikes, whenever I see that "boards down" message my heart skips a beat! : shudder:

:baaa:

I just had my first intermural soccer game. :rip: I am so dead right now, but it was so much fun to play.

I was just thinking the other day that it'd been awhile since you mentioned playing soccer. I'm glad you had a good time.

I'm glad we've all congregated here for the time being. I missed you guys while I was away. I had a Tremendously Exciting Weekend--we got flooded in! A sort of inland cyclone whatever swept up and blew us all away, and the roads were cut off. We couldn't leave until this afternoon, so we missed a whole day of work. ^_^ I have never seen anything like it before...When we drove through on Saturday the creeks were all either dry or with only a trickle, and now they are flooded over the road. :blink: We actually got a police escort for the first 50km so that we would be safe. We were able to stay behind the police 4WD as while crossing the flood waters, which was wonderful, because we could never have done it on our own!

I had a really good time--the best I've had in a long time. So many of you live in countries when it rains all the time, and you just don't know how lucky you are! :lol: Even though we were flooded in, we were excited about the rain. But I'm glad we left when we did--there are about 250 people in that town, and I think we met all of them. Plus, the flood waters rose up again behind us--by Thursday they'll be cut off, I think.

I took some pictures... I was told it was a good road, but my idea of a good road is one with a white line down the middle and a lane on either side, not a one-way street that goes on and for 300km. Oh, and we saw heaps of kangaroos, wallabys, emus, etc. and I thought of all of you! We also saw lots of cattle, which wasn't so good. See, this part of Queensland, out west, is all stations (sort of like ranches for you US folk). These stations out here can be as large as a million acres or more, and it's too big a job to fence anything other than the boundaries. This means that the roads are unfenced, so the cattle just wander all over the road like the great stupid things they are. :mellow: I wish I had taken a picture of us waiting for one of those stupid cows to move...

Anyways, I've rambled enough. If you didn't bother reading all that, just know that I had a great weekend, and that I'm home safe and sound!

 

[SweetiePie]

Anyone know why you need to have a holiday? Let me tell you, because I know.

Because you freaking need <_< one :stick: after :jumpon: planning :whitehair: it all :blowup:

In case you were wondering, that bang? Yes, that WAS my brain exploding.

-_-

THat is all. Goodnight.

:throb:

That sounds absolutely AWESOME! How exciting! Can't wait for the photos :jumpy: It sounds so cool, and you get a police escort and a day off work! :dancing:

If I ever visit Australia, I shall have to try this trip :nod:


to Grace - hope you have a peaceful night's sleep!
