On vacation!
Posting from a hotel room computer! I love posting from unique places. The chair I'm sitting in is quite uncomfortable, though (way too high up for this desk). Mom and I drove to Cincinnati last night, then to Cleveland today, where we met up with our friend Clarice and spent the day at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . (AUGH, THIS KEYBOARD IS INFURIATING!) I'm not sure what I expected out of the museum, but I had a BLAST. We stayed there practically all day.

We also noticed a very strange phenomenon about the city of Cleveland. If anyone sees you taking a picture of yourself in front of some sort of attraction, they will stop and offer to take it for you. This happened THREE TIMES, and we were only out and about for a few hours! Not to be believed.

I've been bonding like crazy with Twitter, and Tweeting this trip like mad. I'm kandigurl on Twitter, too, if you're not already following me. I worry that I might be getting to that obnoxious Tweet level. If I am, somebody please let me know! It's nice when I can't get to lj, though.

Tomorrow is CEDAR POINT. To say I am pumped is an understatement, I am UNSPEAKABLY PUMPED. And we have Clarice with us! A Cedar Point virgin! I can't wait to watch her face as we go in, wander around, show her the rides, it will be AMAZING. OH, and since we're going three days this year, my mom's decided it would be cheaper for us to buy season passes. I'm pretty excited about having a Cedar Point season pass to take home with me!

Oh, and I've decided to apply at Hogwarts is Home, just for the thrill of being sorted again. The results are pretty freaking intriguing. Once the sorting's over, I will talk about it more in depth, but for now, let me just say I LOVE getting sorted by obsessive, analytical HP nerds. I wish I could do it every day. Or at least once a year. That would be fun.

Make sure you go on Cedar Downs. The Fast Merry-go-Round. Take up one row (four across) everyone put in a dollar. Look at the pipes in the floor. At the end of the ride, whoevers' horse is closest to the front of the slot, wins the $4. :)

We do Cedar Downs every year, but we are all sharing the same money, so it would be kind of pointless to bet. :) Maybe someday, if I ever go with a bunch of friends!

We did...and we rode Cedar Downs (and took ridiculous pictures)...and it looks like we're going for FOUR days instead of three!!

You should start listening to the music from some of my favorite travel writers ever: the Canadian band Spirit of the West.

They wrote a scathing review of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their album Star Trails.

Aw, I really liked it for what it was! But I guess I can see what they're saying. I'm just an eternal optimist and fun haver. ;)

Well, one of the reasons I like Spirit of the West is that they are absurdly snarky.

And [info]xlormp is perhaps the most epic work of snark I've ever seen. Which is why I saw a connection!

Ah, I see! :) Well, I didn't get to actually listen to it as I'm on a hotel computer, but I do love snark myself, so I will have to check them out when I get home! Thanks for the recommendation!

Aw, thanks! Hey, it looks like we're going Friday, too, and they're open until ten and we are staying until close, so if you wanted to make a late night run out...I'm just sayin'... ;)

but I wouldn't get there until after 9. I get home at 5-5:30 and it's a 4 hour drive pretty much. :\

For Hogwarts is Home? You can apply here: [info]platform_934.

I also love and adore Hogwarts Elite, I've been there (off and on) for years, and you can apply for THAT here: [info]sorting_elite.

Oooh, sounds fun.
Sorry to bug you, but I sent an email to your Xlormp email account last Thursday and never got a reply back- did you get it?

I just replied to a couple e-mails tonight, so maybe! I actually hadn't checked my xlormp mail since Thursday, because I was ramping up to go on vacation (and right now I'm ON vacation), so my Internet time was/is limited. Hopefully I got to yours, though! I promise it's nothing personal! :)
