I bet I had aarons hopes up for a minute there. but no, I am not remiss in my posting duties, only busy. I spent much of my day working on the next gloompuppy comic, and as soon as I finished I had to run off to a group meeting for 342. thus there was very little time for posting. but now that the meeting is over, I can tell you all about my day. no, in fact, I can tell you all about my weekend. (dave was commenting today about how my last couple of posts seemed to lack content, so heres some content for you)
as you know, rachel came to visit this weekend, and I just thought I would report that we had a lovely time. as you perhaps recall, we went to six flags. I had already been there rather recently (over labor day), so it wasnt as exciting for me as it could have been, but it seemed exciting to rachel, so that more than made up for it. unfortunately, the lines were much longer than the last time we went, but I guess that was to be expected. at least the weather was nice.
but speaking of lines, while in line at the metal detector, some creepy woman tried to sell us tickets. she had the same kind of passes that scotts dad had given us when we went over labor day, so I figured it probably wasnt a scam. but all the same, she was creepy, and her cigarette smelled bad, so I wanted her to leave. I tried to explain to her that we already had coupons to get into the park for $19.99, so it didnt make sense for us to buy passes from her for $20. I suggested she attempt to sell them to someone else, that way more people would be able to get the reduced rate, since we didnt actually need it. she did not understand at all. she actually looked offended that we didnt appreciate her offer. she really had no right to be upset, though. I mean its not like I said, "hey lady, please go away. you are creepy and you smell bad. leave me and my girlfriend alone." of course maybe she could read minds. that might have been it.
anyway, its getting dangerously close to the deadline, and Im starting to have these visions of the internet going down, or the computer Im on crashing, so Id better post this. (Im sure dave has already written me off.) I know I said I was going to tell you all about my weekend, and I didnt really get to everything I could have said, but while it was enjoyable for me, it probably doesnt make an exciting story, so theres no real loss.
