I’m going back to the States - again - and I’m flying out now (I love scheduled posts!). This time it’s for a 3 day conference.  2+ days of traveling for 3 days of a conference.

I’m really tired of traveling and I would rather not go away from home again. I’m excited about this conference but I’m just not sure if the pro of the conference outweighs the con of leaving…again.

But then I realized something, something that makes going a little more worthwhile - exciting, even. I was visiting a messageboard I read pretty much every day and they’re always so curteous to post spoilers of TV shows inside the post instead of in the title of the post.  I avoid watching the entertainment segments of the news and visiting many websites while I wait the extra day for the show to be broadcast here.  Well, 15 minutes before American Idol came on this week, someone - I will refrain from using the word “jackass” - posted the results on the front page of the messageboard and ruined the show for me.

However, this week?  I will be IN the U.S., and I will be able to watch the finale LIVE, because I’m a dork like that.  And you probably are too, so don’t be all hating and stuff.

I can’t post who I want to win because I really don’t care - I like both of them so much that I am just excited to watch the finale LIVE, IN the U.S.  Almost makes traveling again worth the hassle.
