I find myself conflicted with my desires. Part of me always yearns for consistency and tightly regimented order, and the other half desires uninhibited freedom and being able to live with reckless abandon. sometimes I think it would be best to just live by the flip of the coin.

So, The weekend of September 22nd, I'm going to be back in Toronto (for probably one of the NERDIEST THINGS EVAR-[spoilers] the World of Warcraft card game nationals.[/spoilers] I'm not 100% sure what time things wrap up for the Saturday night, but I'd love to perhaps do a tenative plans with any of the kickass TO folks (I'm looking at you, mr.frank, more than most)

So, from the 'would probably be real funny to say, but might not go over too well' file:
