yesterday I decided that I would be attending NEST this year. I didn't need much persuading, but now I have another reason to pack my bags and head up there: it's possible that someone may need a ride. so hope to see everyone there.
here's where my predicament arises. I really need to figure out a cover story to feed to everyone as to why I would be taking a four day trip, especially since I graduate from UT on the 8th, and my parents come in the 6th. So I figured, I could use your help. anyone have any good ideas?
I already have a few ideas; one is a camping trip with friends, but the main problem is that we are going camping two weeks beforehand, and going to a machine gun shoot. don't worry, we won't be shooting, it's like a two year wait. but it is a good time! Knob Creek, Kentucky if you are interested.
the best one so far is possibly a trip with my department at UT, like a sociology event that my professor really wanted me to attend, or maybe a criminal justice super fun weekend. I don't know the details, but that would eliminate involving any of my friends and I could continue to maintain the secret. I'm sure I could BS some sociology conference, I'll even maintain that it's going on in philadelphia so that I am at least half-truthing.
I'm not putting too much thought into this, am I? I'm sure most of you just go and throw caution to the wind. I'll get there someday, but as for now I'm still working on talking to anyone face to face about tickling!
have a great night everyone!
