made it to PA

[cornerofmadness]

with minimal fuss. Soul went to the back of the box, shoved his head in it and refused to look at me for 4 hours. Eventually he fell asleep on his back, eyes half open, mouth gaping.he looked dead. Kanda, on the other hand, was right at the gate. PET ME. He didn't start crying until we hit Athens (an hour out) but didn't do it long.

Kanda came out of the box once we got here but Soul was having none of that. Both of them hid immediately at grandma's house.I'll go back down there with them later.

I'm oddly not tired and I should be. I couldn't sleep last night. fell asleep after 4 Am and was up by 8...whatever.

ETA - a big yay to the repeal of don't ask don't tell





it's probably cheating but this is where I lived in Three Lakes WI. I loved the woods behind the house (which had the sounds of a crying old woman in it a lot...) the buffish land is the old pool someone threw gold fish into. they were proper koi by this time and I named them after buffy characters

The Buffysh! I miss the stories about the Buffysh. I wonder if Zog still has them.

Welcome to PA. We haven't gotten really any snow yet but I believe the west side has been getting hammered. Especially Erie.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Erie is way north (and well it always gets hammered doesn't it?). I'm in the Pittsburgh area. believe it or n ot there is less snow here than back in OH. It's weird since I'm about 200 miles SW of here and usually have better weather.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

we should ask. BTW people looking at the comments see that driveway? I had to shovel it b y hand with a broken ankle. the snow was eventually higher than my head and I'm 5'9". Ah memories

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

Gotta love that lake weather.

Well that's nice. Hopefully things won't get nasty while you're visiting.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah i lived on Erie for 4 years (in Cleveland)

yeah since i could end up trappedin a 100 year old house with no food and angry cats

[bodgei.livejournal.com]

have fun in the land of Pitt (sorry I've been traped about 30 miles south of Philly for the past 9 years)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha thanks. I think maybe i'd rather be on this side...maybe

[bodgei.livejournal.com]

people are nicer out that end - at least that was my experince.

I've spent my whole life bounching back and forth from Boston to the Philly area.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

ah I see and yes that'sbeen my experience too (though that's what I loved about living in WI, very nice people)

[bodgei.livejournal.com]

people in Boston can be really freindly - but htey can be pushy.

I lived for a few years in DC and that was pritty wierd.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

This is why people buy snow blowers.

Buffysh....

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Poor Soul! I would be a sucker for that little dude. But glad you made it safe. Wonder what he thinks of the house so far?

And YAY to the repeal of DADT. I heard from Helen when we got home from the party last night and she checked the interweb. Perhaps we should all celebrate very geekily with some Roy/Maes?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

soul wouldn't know. he won't come out from behind the couch. I'm still trying to figure out who was moving furniture upstairs. I told mom that and her eyes bugged out. She said 'your grandmother is ALWAYS telling us that and no one believed her.'

trust me mom it was freaking Kanda out too.

now that's a fine idea about Roy/Maes

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Oh if i lived there i'd have a plow on my tractor just saying

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Oh i can believe that. I've been to both places several times

[bodgei.livejournal.com]

yeah - it's sort of a weird combo -

I've only been to Pitsburgh a few times.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Pittsburgh is a lot nicer now than when i was growing up

[bodgei.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've been there since 1984.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's when it was still bad

[bodgei.livejournal.com]

I think people were saying it was worse than it actuly was though.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

...and an exorcism on that house.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no kidding

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

maybe. where i was it was bad. that was my last year of h.s. and most of us had out of work parents as all the steel mills shut down

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I remember it. And remember your stories about it. And Zog's stories about it.

[bodgei.livejournal.com]

I think that things kinda sucked everywhere around then - I know hear all the oil refinerys closed down, and the car plants as well.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah not a surprise

[bodgei.livejournal.com]

people keep telling me how good the 80's were, how much money there was and all, and I keep thinking 'Dude where did you live?'

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

exactly. hell you've been there

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Like I said, I remember it. And the raccoon handprints on the front door and....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah we're hoping that was a coon

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, considering those perfect little handprints....

Now I'm wondering if we had those little monsters under the stairs stalking us.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah no kidding

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it would be something to consider

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

silvrethorn was trying to find that movie to freak me out with it again.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

which one? Changeling?

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

No, no, the one with the raccoon monsters.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have no idea what this is

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Karen found it for me once. It gave me nightmares when I was a kid - I saw it when I was home sick with a fever and I still can hear the creepy little voices.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahahaha

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you laugh now....
