TRANSLATION: I like to try and sound smart on the internets lawl....
Silly EoF, the incense must've gotten to you. (That whole paragraph was a whole mess of Chrono-Speak, as my friends call it. On occasion, particularly when my awakeness levels are less than adequate, when attempting to speak something I end up jumbling my thoughts and ideas as they come out; half of it is me saying corrections to what I just said, which are themselves sometimes jumbled up. It was Chrono-Speak that gave rise the totally awesome phrase "The Sense of Nonsense is my Incense" one fummer night a few weekends ago.)
...The correct translation is, I'm gonna need money for food and since I'm not confident in my ability to win money from people, if you get to me while my MM funds are greater than $0 I can challenge you; however if I can choose between MM'ing two challengers, I'll pick the one who I rank as more important.
I think ChronoSquare is my favorite Wisconsinite ever.
O_O Not only does it seem that someone finally has been paying attention to me, but now also I am thought of to be better in some fashion than those around me? Cripes! EoF, check the Apocalypse calendar! It can't be that time yet!
Dude chrono, $5 to pay for a footlong sub and your share of the Midwest Circuit bonus is a steal, don't john your way out of moneymatches because you can't go from breakfast to dinner without more than 1 significant meal inbetween
Let me see what I have for a budget...
In my wallet: $4
Yet to be taken out of the bank: $87.xx (forget how much change)
$5.65 in quarters, nickles and dimes sitting in my drawer (That's actually a more than I thought I had; anyone object to their MM being payed in change?)
Total, this makes... about $96. Let's see the expenses...
$30 entrance fee
$20 oil change
$30 gas
...and I'm left with about $16 to spend on a breakfast (I'm assuming that we'd go eat someplace on the road for breakfast per usual CWC tournament drive)/supper and MM's. And actually, if I had people chip in some gas money for the ride home, $20 worth of gas would be plenty, that $10 perfectly available for MM's.
The thing that I didn't count on was how far in advance you need to schedule an appointment to donate plasma. I thought I could get a quick $25 to put towards the tournament, but for the first appointment they're booked like two weeks in advance it seems...
Ok...I have one small, minor favor to request for everyone that is staying at my house...
I will be providing about 3 24 packs of soda, one Mountain Dew, one Coke, and one Pepsi. I will also be trying to provide a few pizzas on either friday or sat. night, depending on what time everyone arrives on friday, or what time we get back sat. if everyone doesn't crash right away. But I was hoping that maybe people could bring maybe a 12 pack of something, or a bag of chips, just to somewhat lighten the load of money I request of my parents and have to take out of my own pocket. I am happy to house everyone, and I am glad that it is this many people, so don't take this the wrong way. But I think that many of the people coming to this can understand where a college student who is trying hard to get by with what he is making WITHOUT housing 14 people for a smash tourny is coming from. I can pay for the soda, and about 2 of the $5 large pizzas from little ceasers. I hope that everyone else can pitch in a little bit of money to get some more pizzas. So...I really hope that everyone can at least try and do this.
Also, does anyone that is riding with SDM know what time you are leaving/arriving? Because I would like an estimate time of arrival to try and get ready for everyone. Slayer said around 9 for him, and I know KSSB/Quaz aren't getting here till 1 AM (noobs). Also, Chrnosquare...do you know what time you are arriving?
I think 7:30-ish should be a good estimate for me; somewhere between 7 and 8, and as early as 6. I've always tried to not wait any later than 8 to go my friend's house on the weekend for D&D/Werewolf/random video games, so it should be like that.
Actually, the more time I have the better, because there's several things I can get done on Friday before the weekend that need to be done. Such as studying for the Philosophy exam on Monday, or doing the laundry (it's hit-and-miss with the dorm laundromat; people often forget they are doing laundry and leave their clothes sit in a washer/dryer for up to an hour.)
To hopefully make it easier on myself (and you), I will wait as long as possible to get the DeBot supper... if we're staying up late, some pizza should be just perfect - if I go to sleep on a full stomach, I won't be ravenous for breakfast, and so should be able to make it without/with a light breakfast, until lunch... (To not totally be a loser and just mooch off your hospitality Zicore, tomorrow when I go home to Amherst I'll raid our kitchen to see if there isn't anything I couldn't bring to share... if the local grocery store is having a sale on Our Family sodas, totally am I buying some Cream soda. 5 12-packs for $10; I could MM 2 sodas for $1 and still have plenty of soda left over :D)
Yay me for quanternizing what otherwise could pass as a quadruple post.
P.S. Yes I know quanternizing isn't a word but it sounds good and it probably is just my memory being faulty and not quite remembering a word I once read.
