No, you couldn't have come to the meetup, for that would have pushed our Sam quotient up to four.

And, Stal, may I just say that you sound EXACTLY how I thought you would sound. XD And I apologize if I blew out your eardrum.
OKAY. So the protocol video didn't come out all that well, so I'll just post the conversation.
The guy at the penguin exhibit was taking questions at the penguin feeding, and all of us were talking about the undead penguins; I had the idea to ask the guy about undead penguins! So I made Patrick take a video of it, I went up to the guy, and I asked, "What do you do about undead penguins?"
A pause. The guy next to him started cracking up. "You mean," the zoo employee said, "like an unhatched egg?"
"No. Just undead in general."
Another pause, and I could see he was trying to keep a straight face. "What do you mean by undead?"
"Like living, died, rotted, and then came back to life," I explained.
I knew this guy was starting to hate his job. "Well," he said, "we haven't experienced that yet, but I'm sure we have a protocol for that."
I tried not to burst out into laughter before saying thank you. ;D Oh man. I must've told that story at least ten times that day. XD

XD You do know that phones still work no matter what the distance. Although, it is sometimes more costly. [glow=red,2,300]That's a lie. -_-; Currently, Hunty is yelling at me for not having international call support and thus getting what isn't an Estonian answering machine, but rather a chipmunk from some mystical thing called Tashkent, which she STILL hasn't explained. XD Also, guys, I'm not dangerous! ^_^ And i'm certainly not plotting Patrick's demise behind his back. (No, seriously... I'm wicked sorry. I didn't think that kick would actually hit, Patty-kun.) Sam, I'm honored? XD Regarding the video that I know will eventually get posted: There's no such thing as a Rider/Scar 'ship. XD He's like a brother to me, I'm fair sure that's incest. Plus, he's an old fogey. XD So, my day started far too early. Chikkin and I met up at the bus station and wondered why they lock the drink display case at Dunkies. It means that someone has stolen one of those little milk bottles before. -_-; XDDD A four hour bus ride in which I was severely ADD and we dorked out. I <3 my Chikkin-chan. We went to the carousel and we were all, "We can't possibly be the first ones here" because you said the blasted carousel was where we were meeting, guys. So we decided we need a bumper sticker saying, "Honk if you're from the internet." Patrick found us first. He looks less like his persona than I thought. I think he's the only one to add glasses instead of removing them. XD Then we got dragged over to the fountain where Leo, Spot, Strife, Kitty and Pyro were. And there was much rejoicing. Spot gave me an eyepatch. <3 And I gots a T-shirt too. To all the people who make fun of me putting my finger in my ear when I'm on the phone, stop being so noisy and I'll stop doing it! XD Strife looks younger than he is. Maybe it's just my imagination. He's not that much older than me, but he seems more Like An Adult, and he's even married etc. And his hair is fun to braid. ^_^ I realized very late that I had no idea what Playmobil looks like. We went to the carousel to see if she was there and she found us. She was all, "Are we going by forum names, or real names?" and i was all, "Wait, you're Playmobil?" because I'm just that slow. We decided that since according to Crystal's siggy, Kit's gender is a weapon of mass destruction, the "Epic Equipment, please do not use" sign belongs on Kit's pants. other new memes of the day: the xD demon in the Scion xD cars and "We have a protocol for that." Also, a mangling of a line from Firefly that Rider came up with on no sleep. "You'll go to a special level of hell reserved for mad scientists, cliched villains and people who steal drinks of Dunkin Donuts." Sammy called to say the trains were being stupid and she didn't know when she'd be there. We started to the Cafe without her, because the heat was something insane and we were running through water like it was... well, water. (Because my traditional metaphor doesn't work here.) We also decided that we are an organizational nightmare and on a sketchy scale of 1-10, Chikkin ranks at a 0.5. This morning. Hunty said that this only makes it so we don;t suspect her. So, there were huge breaksticks and two tables pushed together and obnoxiousness. And then sammy came and I was so excited and got up so quickly that I smacked Kitty in the face by accident. Which i'm also wicked sorry for. >.>; Reunited, the group sits down for nomnoms at last. ^_^ And that's where I end by story, because it's time to go meet Leo-chan, Strife and Ishy at the mall. ^_^ To Be Continued...[/glow]

Ah, yes. My stupid trains. So I must have the best luck in the world. ._. I was stuck in Newark because of my 15-minute-late train, which then stopped in the middle of a tunnel to let TWO trains pass by. >_< I made it to the meetup at about 12:30. Oh yes, best luck ever.

And now I present to you stories of the mini-meetup as it's happening
Last night, I couldn't sleep at all. I kept trying and failing. Until about 5:30 AM, I finally drifted off. So you would expect me to wake up sometime after 1:00 PM, right?
Well, about 12:30ish, I get a call. I fumble to grab my phone, barely look at the called ID and answer
"Yes?" (not sure if that was intelligible or not) "Onii-chan! I'm here with Ishy trying to prove to him you don't speak in a pompous nasaly British accent!"
I could barely understand what she wanted. And there was some back and forth that I wasn't following. Eventually they said they'd call me back and I, much to my dismay, discovered I wasn't getting back to sleep anytime soon.
So I tried again about 1:20ish...started drifting off... phone call!
This time Ish has called...and he wants me to tell a rambling story, but every time I try no one can here me. Turns out he had the volume all the way down or something. Rider was apologizing and blaming him, he was apologizing and blaming her.
Then something happened and his voice got the sound of someone in a lot of pain and he said he'd call back. <.<;;;
To be continued?
