I don't use chatrooms really at all, but here's something I copied down once upon a time:
"So I made the trip to Richmond, VA for Anime Mid-Atlantic all by myself. I've made the drive up 85/95 north many, many times before, but never by myself. This was a new and exciting prospect, so I decided to chronicle my progress! Here are actual notes I jotted down hastily while I was driving:
FRIDAY, JUNE 15th
07:15 AM: Trip begins! On my way!
07:45 AM: Hahaaa, forgot the directions. Went back for them. Trip begins! Again!
08:43 AM: OH MY GOD, RAIN. A WALL OF RAIN. IT IS LIKE SOMETHING FROM THE BIBLE.
08:44 AM: Where did the rain go all of a sudden?
08:45 AM: OH, THERE IT IS.
09:47 AM: Passed a truck full of chicken crates! Just like in the movies!
03:17 PM: The road and I are in love. We are to be wed. Our children will be dangerous and powerful.
04:00 PM: Went to pick up food for the people I'm supposed to meet up with upon arrival, locked myself out of still-running car through sheer talent.
04:01 PM: Luckily I keep a second, spare key on my person at any given time because I know myself too well. AHAA! I'm like a Batman that fucks up a lot and knows it.
04:30 PM: CONVENTION CENTER IN SIGHT! HOORAY!!
05:01 PM: I hate you, City of Richmond. You and your hideous labyrinth of one-way streets and parking garages. CONVENTION CENTER IS RIGHT THERE, JUST LET ME PUT MY CAR SOMEWHERE.
05:10 PM: I PARKED. TRIP OVER. MY LEGS DON'T WORK. OH FUCK.
05:12 PM: Wait, yes they do. We're good.
