Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
10-ish Eastern, yes? Hmm...
Sorry...8 to you. I think.
Yes, thing is I was invited to a club meeting tonight and I'm torn... would like to hear W but I'd also like to take the night off.
No can tape?
No have tv channels. I might use Suzi's helpful archive link.
Alas.
Even better banner! WooHoo!
Only two of them came up with pictures, but they're cute!! I didn't see the lot sizes, are they decent?
Whoa! There's a red,white, and blue elephant in the living room!! Looks like the President has it under control, though.
Here's the list the real estate guy sent me:

I kinda like the stone Cape Cod.
Just call us the Gonzos...Gonzo Hobbit Holers!! (erm...that's a slight reference to jerry jeff walker's "Gonzo compadres")...we love our mommies!
Hey howdy there! [sip]
Gonna be werkin' off and on this evening... but checking in anyway. [sip] some things you just don't wanna do sober.
But the good news is that I got the beertender here in the lobby to switch the TV over to FN. This should be fun...
Sweet. I'd like to see Laura. I just couldn't stay up that late.
Actually, better than being there. I see more, can hear over the cheers, and can FReep, and those special things guys do when there is no "company".
I used Andes mints to ward off that...boxes and boxes of them. Eventually got sick of them and that was the end of that.
Back from the class...it was intro stuff since it's just starting out, but I really think this will be good for me.
On the other hand...can I rant?
I walked into the class and sat down in the second row. I was the only girl, as I expected (girls just don't seem to take networking classes, more's the pity), and also the oldest - the rest of the class is all 19 or 20 year old boys, mostly of the sloppy gaming variety. Not that all gamers are like that...but you know the type.
Second I sit down, I hear this conversation start in back of me - first boy says something like "*mutter mutter* cute." Second says "What!? That woman that just walked in? DUDE, you need to get out more." First one hastily says "NO", he meant so-and-so. Now...I realize that to them, I'm an old hag already, and that I don't exactly dress "hot", also that all of this matters zilch, so I spent the rest of the class feeling annoyed, and most of all feeling annoyed that I was annoyed.
When am I gonna grow up and stop being a hyper-insecure mess of a human being? Geesh!
But the class itself is good. I'm going to enjoy that, in any case. *sigh*
hmmm---wonder if there's any sugar free mints like that I could use. (I tried BreathSavers, but they had another effect i'll only tell you about if you beg me.)
On the bright side, today my sister paid for the bike she bought from me this summer, so I was able to order the snowshoes I've been eyeing before they went out of stock. And I have food, and time now to catch up on at least a little of the convention.
So the first one is "worth getting to know", and the second one is "an idiot unworthy even of your contempt". Enjoy!
First one wasn't talkin' about me, either.
I think I completely pass beneath the radar there.
Does make me wonder what people say when I'm NOT within hearing distance.
Like I said, though...mostly I'm angry at myself for being angry. I can't wait until I'm old enough not to care, if that ever happens.
