Crazy August Time!

General
Hey all!
Well, it's August again... time for the maddness... lessee...
Saturday was
derranged's birthday (yes, it wasn't August yet... but just it helps add on to the madness. Sunday was my sister's birthday. I work on alternating days this week (today, then Wednesday), then have 2 days off, then work the "hell shift" on the weekend (that's a 3pm-11pm shift, followed by a 7am-3pm shift the following day). The crappiest thing about that is my oldest friend, who rarely ever gets to come back to town (he's training for the Canadian Armed Forces) has his birthday on that Saturday... and he is coming into town to celebrate (which I'll have to miss).
And then, of course, the 12th is MY birthday (take note, friends and well-wishers ^_~), but is also the birthday of another friend of mine (COINCIDENCE!), so I need to think of something to send to her...
...and make sure it gets there before the 14th, which is when she and
Krowy, another friend of mine, are moving back to their dorms for the next school year (and I have a few things I need to send down to Krowy anyways, so it works out XD).
Then, I get a couple of weeks of nothing to worry about (other than work) before BAM! Convention! A few my friends and I go to this one every year on the weekend of the 28th (we go on Sunday to hunt for swag). Heck, even my one good friend went last year on a sprained ankle he wore one of those shoe harnasses for! It's a hybrid convention of comics, anime, video games, sci-fi, horror... it's nerd heaven! Especially since people like Stan Lee and Summer Glau (from Firefly) are going to be there... not that I go to meet celebs. I... just hope that Major League of Gaming (MLG) thing isn't going to be there again this year... they dedicate more room than they need to for MLG... moreso than concession stands (think about a space required having over 1,000 people try to find seating to eat in an area barely big enough for 200 people...) which I think is pathetic... moreso than the farce of MLG and their "pro gamers" (Halo-tards and 360 fanboys who's only difference from mainstream gamers is that they get paid).
And then, August is over... =p
Time to get equipped with... Patience Shield!
