What he failed to mention was that he tried to make his voice sound all deep and threatening when he said that to Stal... Lies! I was just being funny, just cause I didnt feel like dragging it out with awkwardness. So the deep voice was supposed to offset the awkward "What?"... Why does that seem like it would make things more awkward? What was Stal's reaction to that?

"I need help with an ugly girl, I want an ugly girl, anyone got an ugly girl?"

I'd had loved to be at that meet. ^^;; Komori is someone I'd like to have grovelled at in RL, and I'm good friends with Growly, another pwnsome artist, and Spot's my big sis... another pwnsome artist. 8D;; *Shot*
Seriously, I would've loved to meet all of you guys. Come to Scotland so I can swipe your sketchybooks. D:

At first I was like, what 1337 driving skillz? Because it's just a picture of your face. But then I saw the reflection in your glasses. Look mom, one hand!

Okay... just to add one last tidbit in, before I leave this thread to oohs and aahs, here's the literal side of my story:
Got up about 7:45, showered, and loaded up my car. Unfortunately, I had some difficulties, what with filling the cooler with enough ice to last a while, and my tires needed some air. Got about half a mile down the road, before I realized I'd left something, came back, then stormed back out, absolutely annoyed that I would be late, at this point. Zoomed on down towards Savannah, stopping only once to grab something from Mcdonalds. Unfortunately, they were very slow, and it set me back another 20 minutes.
I'd just gotten off the exit ramp from I-95, when I got my first of many calls, asking where I was. Traffic was pretty dense, going in, and I was getting caught at EVERY red light on this road into Savannah. Just as I passed SCAD, another call, and I let them know I was in the process of finding a parking spot. Not only did I find one, but it was free. I proceeded down to the waterfront shops, and searched for the Christmas Shop, as per instructions. It'd been awhile since I'd last been there, so I'd forgotten where it was...
I got another call, and I told them I was looking for the store. I think I remember her saying it was to the left of the hotel, but I didnt know if she meant from the river, or facing the river... Anyway, nature called, and I needed to use the restroom. Once I got out, I got one last call, and I told them I pretty much had no idea where the Christmas store was. They told me they'd meet me around the hotel, that was along the waterfront. So at least I would see them, knowing that at least one of them would have some means to distinguish themselves. When I saw the fuzzy ears of GMOD, and the familiar face of Spot, I approached them. I sorta circled them for a moment, to see if they'd recognize me. I meant to say "Hey guys! It's me! Smile for the camera!" but those words never left my brain, and I just wound up taking a picture, without really saying anything, except "This is a great first shot!"
Once they realized it was me, they expressed a little relief that I wasnt a three-toed tree frog or something... cant exactly remember, except they were scheming about something... So we sat down, and the artists took out their sketchbooks, and passed them around, for each person to draw in. They even forced me to draw, which is something I'm not very good at. I gotta tell ya, the art you see some of these guys display on their DA's, and Neopets, is even more impressive in person. Almost too good to be real. At some point, I ran back to my car, and lugged back a cooler full of a specialty soda that most of them had never seen before. Once that was done, we began moving around, to go look inside the shops, and it seemed like Komori and Potato were the only ones buying stuff.
Well the day went off without a hitch, except after provoking her, Spot did succeed in snatching my hat right off my head. We went to go meet Leah's dad, back at the Christmas Store. While sitting there, waiting, this one crazy guy walked by, asking for an ugly girl, or something. I was handed the phone with Stal on the line, and well.... he sounds a lot like one of my old WoW buddies. Me and him chatted for a bit, before I handed the phone off to Komori.
Anyways, after Leah's dad checked in, we headed over to the closest restuarant, which turned out to be pretty good, if not ridiculously overpriced. It was kinda neat looking out on the river, seeing the enormous freighter vessels floating by. We walked all the way to the other end of the shopping strip, after dinner, and then started back again. By then, it was dark, and we did spend a good 20 minutes in the toy store. After one last picture, Komori and Potato headed back to their dorm, while the remaining group and I went to the meeting spot, where Leah met up with her dad, and we parted ways with her as well. So, finally, I drove Spot and GMOD back to their dorms, and managed to drop them off safely.
Well... then I spent a good 45 minutes searching for my hotel, since the directions I printed off were fairly lousy. When I did get in, the hotel room was roasting, because the air conditioning was shut off. All said and done, I got a pretty decent night's sleep. Next morning I was on my way home to Charlotte.
And that's pretty much what happened.

So my question now is... how much did you pay that college guy to pretend to be you? Because you cant possibly be a normal guy. XD XP
And Spot's not a ninja.
