u.u :: hops on his head, and nuzzles him lightly :: That's been an occuring theme for me my whole academic career. But, I also think that you of all people have above-average potential for helping this planet move forward :) Please let me visit you sometime? I'd like to poke you and tell you this with a hug ^_^

Yes, do come visit, especially now that you're on this side of the country. ;)

Hmmm... we'll have to think about how to do that properly. The first time is always the hardest. Maybe bring a friend or two to split a hotel room, just in case the two of us end up driving each other crazy. ;) I really don't think that will happen, but one always has to be stark, raving paranoid about these things.

Mrow? :D That could be fun. What would we do in a hotel room though? o.o I could bring some movies,and I could also bring my roomate. She's a fun girl, I think you'd enjoy her a lot :D

The paranoia lives! ^_^ <3

Oh, the hotel room would just be a place for you guys to sleep that isn't my futon. There's plenty of stuff to do around here that doesn't involve hotel rooms. ;P

Hang in there, it wont last forever. Your potential may just have to find other cracks in life through which to seep, grow and bloom.
