Phew.

Mom won't be home on Bob either, so dinner is set for Friday night instead. On Bob, I work until 4:30 or 5, then go to karate class and pick up my gi for the first time, then spend an hour escaping from my classmates. THen I shower, come home, and game. Huzzah.

Hey, I spent last birthday with takeout from Outback Steakhouse in a hotel room in Onalaska, WI, watching the Crocodile Hunter. I am easily amused when it comes to birthdays.

For your birthday, I shall kidnap you in my jade-green Taurus before your parents can get their clutches on you. We shall rename the car Auspicious Earthen Water Buffalo for the occasion, then drive like a Meatloaf record to Cleveland, ay, even unto Little Italy, where we shall storm Mama Santa's and feast upon Spaghetti di Casa until gorgèd!

And then hey, could make another new religion, it's a way to kill an evening.

Nah, I've done enough new religions for a while. I'm more inclined to melt people's brains by dumping the alternate-history Asian timeline on them. I've nailed most of the major Chinese, Ainu, and very very early Korean events between Pan Gu and, mmmh, 590 or so BCE by now, and no one's eyes have glazed over at me lately, so I may have to unleash it on you at some point.

That's all right, it's an eight-hour drive from the theoretical kidnapping point to the equally theoretical restaurant anyway. We'd have time.

Aha!

I *knew* I knew you from somewhere! Your face (in your userpic) just looked tantalizingly familiar. You're another CWRU victimalumna!

Can I flee back to Cleveland too?

Re: Aha!

[lwood.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am a happily former CWRUton. ;)

And we can all flee back to Cleveland.... but I'm absolutely horrid at remembering people, sometimes. Have we ever met?

We may have...

Here's my CWRU-CV - see if we had anything in common:
(years are academic unless otherwise noted)

1996-1999 School of Medicine (candidate: MD)

Living Space:

I ate in Leutner most of the time; I hung out a lot with Theta Chi, especially with the pledge classes of Spring 1993, Fall 1993, and Spring 1994. I lurked, and very occasionally posted, on cwru.gen.

My husband is also a CWRUton (heh! I'd forgotten *that* nickname...), dual-degree candidate, graduated B.A. Philosophy and B.S. Mathematics in Spring 1996 (he left the anonymous comment in this journal about philosophy and ass-kicking...)
