Tomorrow, tomorrow...

Tomorrow's gotta be a very interesting day.

So I've been frequenting a Greek trivia IRC channel lately, which I found thanks to a friend of a friend. The friend of the friend I've only met online.

So he IMs me today (yes, in the middle of the night) and invites me over to his house, along with two other guys from the channel, to play board games. I said okay, thinking I would talk my parents out of a mild shock state tomorrow.

Then my father woke up to go to the bathroom, so I found a chance to actually ask for permission. He said there was no way he'd let me go to a boy's house with my only company three boys I've only met online. No matter what I said, he wouldn't be convinced - he'd either need me to have another girl with me or go to a public place. In his own immortal words, "99% says they're good kids, but I'm not risking that 1%."

(Oh, note Mom's reaction, who was awakened by my and Dad's arguing: "Did it take you the Internet to meet some boys?" *headdesk*)

He did, however, agree to them coming over. So I proposed that to the guys and they said all right. I'm meeting them tomorrow morning at the train station.

It's kind of weird, yes, but I think it will prove itself to be the good kind of weird.

I bet you I won't be able to get any sleep tonight, though. Lately, whenever I put on the alarm in order to wake up in time for something, I end up having trouble sleeping *and* getting up early, whereas I easily sleep for over 10 hours if I have nothing to do the next morning. It's pretty annoying.

And, while I'm here, the writing woe of the day:
After finishing the edits I had to make, I prepared an email for my Beta. And as I was explaining why I had made the edits, it occured to me that I could have gone a few chapters back and change a grand total of two words, which would eliminate the need to fully rewrite two scenes.

*headdesk*

I'm an idiot. Mock me.

Will talk to you tomorrow if the guys don't prove themselves to be serial rapists, axe murderers, or something like that..

See ya,
Anna. :)

Account of the day (so far)

I had an awesome time with the boys! They proved themselves to be great guys, and real fun too. They also got along with Christos very well. :)

We met at the train station and walked home. There, the four of us played Taboo (my team won, haha) - oh, the laughter! Then they played basketball with my brother and I watched. It was fun, because Christos was the only one who could actually play basketball. *g*

They stayed for lunch (because I insisted), and then, like the nerds we all are, we got online, on IRC, listening to music... I couldn't even begin to describe you. We played trivia all together, the keyboard passing from one player to another... It was lots and lots of fun. They stayed until about 7.15 p.m. - and then they had to leave because Dad had somewhere to go and we wouldn't have the car to take them to the train station.

That's the story in a nutshell. Now I have to go - off to georgieprincess's for dinner and more fun! :D

Will see you around. :)

Anna.
