WI Pre-Trip
So basically the entire reason I went to Wisconsin on 1/19 was to attend LJ hellsop's birthday party. It was also a first face-to-face meeting. I gave the boyfriend more advance warning than my parents and. . .well the boyfriend is the reason for the Social Bonding Explanation post.

So pre-trip I had to deal with his worrying.
Like first and foremost, you're seeing a guy with the name of Coffin?
He checked to make sure I know what a misanthrope is and that there are people who make friends online since they can't make friends online from the misanthropy. (Told him I have a misanthropic edge and defrayed his concern over the paths that could take me. Basically, I'm in the background for the majority of people and thus not likely that they're out to get me and lack of reason to bring them to the foreground to get aggravated by in the first place.)
Also made the mistake of using the term bloody goth, as in, he's just another bloody goth, in front of him. Yes, he's familiar with the Britishism, but he's had plenty of experiences with people describing themselves as vampires. The fact that hellsop and myself posters to a group of people with a standard joke of pretending to be zombies when accused of being vampires and redirecting people down other corridors to the vampires wasn't a help.
LJ oonh having met the guy before (the guy he finds nifty) didn't reassure him. So oonh trusting him to the point of encouraging me to get my ass to WI pre-boyfriend was irrelevant. I just let the comment of about men and implied expectations when women stay with them for a period of time slide. (Conversation bit post, I may have described him as a friend, but I've realized the conversation content marks him as one of the previous relationships that made sure, I'm not monogamous, were my first words after he asked if we could date.)
Day before the actual trip, I collected various periodicals and went to three New England Comics and Million Year Picnic. The boy tried to say, you can collect plenty of papers to read en route. The Friday for day one of travel I made sure to get-up early and wasn't going to fufill his desire to spend a bit more time in bed.
