Making out with people I barely know are alive:
I am tempted to make a comment about my nearly unprecedented, unbroken string of daily posts, but every time I make a comment about how much I am posting I am immediately stricken with a severe case of writers' block and can't even manage to eke out an e-mail to my mother, much less an entire blog post, which inevitably results in a lengthy delay in updates. So, I won't mention it at all. Pretend you didn't read the preceding sentences.
Now that it's the end of January, I am faced with an impending decision regarding my travel plans for February. Since I have a history of making bad decisions, both in the romantic and financial arenas, I have decided to leave this decision entirely up to other people. I will present the pros and cons, much like I did with the bachelors a few weeks ago, but this time I will actually listen to what you have to say, and will make my decision based on your recommendations. The only person who has veto power is my big brother Shawny. Also, please refrain from suggesting any write-in destinations, as this choice is between two cities and two cities only. Let the voting begin.
Destination #1: Phoenix, 2/14-2/16. Yeah, I know, every time I go there I write about how much I hate it. However, this trip is different. First, I won't have to deal with that fuckhat my mom is married to because they'll be in Tucson. Second, I would be able to bring my grandma her two dozen roses in person (I usually give them to her at Xmas to commemorate my grandparents' anniversary, but she asked me to wait till Valentine's this year because she wasn't home at Xmas). Third, I have an ironclad promise from my favorite person under 30 in Phoenix that he will take time off while I am there and go do fun stuff with me that includes getting something pierced, drinking excessively, and maybe some mud wrestling. And fourth, I'm going to drive there by myself, which will give me an excuse to buy a fucking iPod already so I'll have shit to listen to on the drive. Pros: Will make grandma happy, can justify gadget purchase, good chance of mud wrestling. Cons: Have to pay for a hotel, going out of town on a holiday weekend is poopy.
Destination #2: San Francisco, 2/20-2/22. I haven't been to S.F. in a while, even though my incredibly hot best friend AND my incredibly hot partner in comic book crime both live there. If I go up this time, it'll probably be with the fabulous Jessica, if she makes up her mind about going to APE, which is the only reason I was going to a cold, windy place in the middle of February. However, I don't have any new comics ready, so I'm not feeling all that motivated to go. Pros: Seeing hot people who I love, good chance of seeing the bling bra (finally). Cons: Have to pay for a hotel, tripping over homeless people everywhere I go, very little chance of mud wrestling.
Of course, I could always do both, but if that is your recommendation, please provide justification, some B-complex, and maybe some crystal meth so I'll have enough energy to do both.
Vote early and often!
