I met timjr in person for the first time today - we got together for dinner. In spite of the fact that we are both geeks and know each other from milliways_bar, we barely mentioned it for the first fifteen or twenty minutes! Amazing! We actually talked about real-world stuff (where we went to college, where we worked, stuff like that). I found out that timjr is actually a longtime friend of alryssa's, and that she'd asked him to say hi for her. The internets is a small world, no?

Tomorrow I'm taking a bus to Philadelphia. The annoying thing is, I got non-refundable tickets for an early bus so I could have lunch with tempus_aeterna, but she had to cancel. I hope I can see her briefly anyway while I'm in Philly. I'm actually there so I can go to May Day at Bryn Mawr: unfortunately, some of my good friends won't be able to make it. It'll still be good to go, though.

Okay, now I have a request. Do any of you in the D.C. area know of interesting things to do for an evening or weekend? I am trying to find clubs, activities and other things that will get me out of the house and away from my mother for something other than my internship. We both agree that this would be a good way to keep from killing each other to death.
