Adventure Lite?

Well, I said I was going to have an adventure tonight and apparently, I meant it.

Currently, I am sitting in a bakery in Champaign with apple pie, Mountain Dew, and internet. How did I get stranded in such a wonderful position? Let me tell you.

Colleen wants my help tonight with getting the data off of her laptop and onto a portable hard drive. There are probably other people who could help her, but I have the materials and have done it before, so it's not a big deal.

Anyway, we decided that since Spencer would be going to Narnia House for Heroes tonight and she would be there anyway, I could hitch a ride with him over there and make things convenient for all of us. I checked with him and he said that was cool if I didn't mind going over to the pet store first and then entertaining myself until Heroes.

Well, when we picked up Jessica, it was obvious that would be a problem. She wanted to spend the entire evening with Spencer alone without me around. For me, that was fine as I didn't want to hang out with them, but wanted to hole myself away in some corner and work on my laptop or reading. I thought it would still be fine for me to get a ride to Narnia House and find some place away from people to stay until Colleen showed up and wanted to work with me.

While we were traveling through Champaign, Jessica started getting really bitchy and asked when they were going to drop me off since my apartment was in the other direction. It was at this point that I told Spencer to find a convenient parking lot to pull into so I could get out. He pulled into Colonial Pantry and I got out.

I figured that since I was in Champaign anyway, I might as well grab something to eat. Considering my options, I opted to go to a bakery where I could get something small along with a bottle of Dew and be undisturbed as I sat around typing on my laptop.

So voila, here I am. Now, I just have to get to Narnia House before 8 so I can work on Coll's computer. The bus station isn't too far away, so it shouldn't be too hard.
