Real Entry.

Once again, the last post was a complete fabrication, though I do still wish I could go to the dance concert. I think I'll e-mail explaining the situation and see if I can get an MP3 of the Jackie O song.

Anyway, I'm chilling at work right now, but I'm all set to head out. I put everything in the car, and while at work, I haven't remembered everything that I'd forgotten. (Well, I did, but nothing that was at home. I'll be stopping at the store before the flight.)

Speaking of the flight, I only just now noticed, as I was printing out my boarding class that they were first class. This is how busy I've been, I didn't think to wonder why I was in seat "2F". Did you tell me about this, [livejournal.com profile] satch, and I just forgot? Or was I just completely oblivious? Regardless, Satch is clearly angling for a spot as a groomsman, and I don't think I'm in a position to deny him.

Hotel is booked, and I confirmed that I'll be checking in late and getting a room with a king-size bed. I've got a rental car to drive [livejournal.com profile] ojouchan back on Monday. I've got the lyrics to "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic." I've got Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney—Justice for All for my DS. I've got a Nikoli book; I've got a crossword book; I've got a book that just has a story in it. I have a new phone and its charger. I have a new GPSr and its batteries. I have my nice jacket and my nice shoes. I have a scarf. I have my tickets. I have my reservations. Also, I have no reservations. (See what I did there!)

The only scare was that Ojouchan didn't sign into Google Talk this morning before getting on the bus, but I called her room and got voicemail, so I assume she didn't oversleep.

So I've got to grab some food before the jeweler opens, and then I'm off.

In less than 33 hours, I'm going to be engaged.

Don't forget the ring. Everything else you mentioned, they sell at LAX.

Go get 'er.

SO EXCITED!!

Yay!

Got time to hang out post-proposal? :)

This has been adorable, and brilliant!

Yay!

Oh, man, this is exciting. Have fun!

[identity profile] greenlily.livejournal.com 2007-02-16 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! This is much more fun than watching reality television. :)

I'm so excited I get to watch it live! Ed & I will have both a camera & a mind DV recorder, so hopefully we can capture it for the thrilled masses.

Did you tell me about this, satch, and I just forgot? Or was I just completely oblivious?

Both. =o) But I can't think of a better use of 45,000 miles and a $60 ticketing fee.

I was wondering when you were going to figure it out. Then I just decided to let it be a mini-surprise. (I was kinda hoping you'd stay oblivious until you got onto the plane. This'll do.)

If you get to the airport early, go ahead and try to avoid the connection through Chicago by going standby on AA264, which is non-stop and leaves at 12:50pm. (Although Chicago is showing no forecasted weather-related delays today, it's a busy place and I'd hate for congestion to affect you.)

Thank you for flying [livejournal.com profile] satch Airlines. We value your business.

Hope for his sake it isn't one of those liquid-filled rings.

This is SO EXCITING -- get ready for screaming and tears!

(That's just me -- I dunno about Minou)

Breaking out the celebratory user icon on your behalf! Squee!

Naturally, we all expect—nay, demand—detailed postmortems in the journals of both major collaborators and the unsuspecting dupe.

I have been having great amounts of fun reading this series of posts.

Yay! Go you!

Yay! Can't wait to hear how it all goes down.

I think its wonderful that you and Ed are helping arrange this very special moment for Saw and Minou. When you mentioned the DV recorder, I imagined watching a clip in which Saw delivered his semirecumbent spiel, followed by Sir Hound appearing in the kitchen saying, "What an interesting metal object stuck to the refrigerator," and then a subtitle reading: LETTER BANK (6, 10). I can see you in that polyester outfit, just because you look awesome in it.

Good luck! I can't imagine how nervous you must be. Have fun, and the rest will work itself out. Wish I could be there!

In this case, you literally do know why he flies.

Tony: if you see this, get on the non-stop if at all possible. I can only imagine what Satch was thinking when he typed "Chicago is showing no forecasted weather-related delays."

Also, 2F is a window seat, in case your tall frame wants to switch. :)

This is great!

So exciting!

I mistakenly thought this was going to happen last week and when you posted
"Under the wire.

Blah Blah Blah BUSY!"
last Saturday, I was going nuts waiting for updates.

Of course, as soon as I said this, weather.com now shows "Few Snow Showers" in Chicago O'Hare at 9pm, which is when [livejournal.com profile] tablesaw is connecting.

(For everyone else: I already called him, and he's on the shuttle to the terminal, so if he hustles, he should at least have a chance to ask for the direct. He's going to call me if he needs travel help, so don't slow him down by everyone calling at once.)

Thrilled mass checking in; save some capture for me!

[identity profile] cramerica.livejournal.com 2007-02-16 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Excitement level out West is high... waiting for that PST recap!

[identity profile] dustyskinandall.livejournal.com 2007-02-16 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so excited for you! Have a great weekend!!!
