Comic Con 2008 Friday Recap [25 Jul 2008|09:11pm]

Okay, so today? Misery.

There were only two good points of the day. One of which was that Drew got to come with me to Con! Thanks to Mr. Marcus. BUT! I had a bunch of awesome panels today.... And got in to NONE of them... Yeah. None. That includes the ONE panel I wanted to see this year. The MST3K reunion panel. The line was so long, it got capped and a bunch of us formed a "shadow line"; the line that cannot be seen. It was sneaky. I waited almost 2 hours in that goddamn line for nothing. And Drew waited with me. I felt so bad cause I feel like I ruined Con for him this year. He says otherwise, but I think he's saying that so I don't feel bad. Either way, this brings me to the other good point of the day. The panel in front of the MST3K panel was the Robot Chicken panel, another panel I REALLY wanted to see. So we were waiting in line and a few people walk right by Drew and I. Turns out it's Seth Green and a couple other people from Robot Chicken. The lady who worked for the Con and was behind the end of the real line (She really sucked) and near where she was standing was a back entrance in to the Con. Well Seth and his peeps approach that area and the lady says to Seth "I'm sorry but you can't wait in line, the line is capped" She didn't even know who he was!!! It was hilarious. After that, I didn't mind missing the Robot Chicken panel. And also, while waiting in line, some airplane was sky writing. His message was "Seek the Six", whatever the hell that means. I just hope tomorrow will be better. I just feel real bad that Drew's Con experience this year wasn't the best :(

Comic Con 2008 Thursday Recap [25 Jul 2008|03:57am]

[ music | The 805. ]

Alright, so my first real full day at Teh Con was AWESOME!!!!! I got up earlier than I needed to, but that's okay. I slept through my alarm even. So I get to Con at roughly 8:30 or so. Con opens at 10. I decided to forgo my Gene Roddenberry panel to attempt to obtain an autograph from Mick Foley for Drew. I wait there for about an hour and a half in line just to find out that you have to pay to get them. I was pissed cause I couldn't get my boyfriend an autograph and I was pissed cause I wasted my time and missed my panel. TWO panels in fact! Meh. Steve came and took my place cause he wanted to shake Mick Foley's hand. Lori Petty (Of Tank Girl fame) had her booth right next to his and you had to pay to get autographs/pictures. Fuck that. So as I was in line for Foley, I snagged a pic of her. Steve encouraged me to do the same for Lori Petty, so I did.

Walked around the top floor for a while, when I spot him! The man I've been looking all over Con for! Yagami Light! So of course, gotta get my picture with him. And then it's off I go into the Exhibit Hall to kill time until my next panel. So in no particular order I hit up the Shout Factory booth, as they were giving away free MST3K posters. Scored one. Awesome. Went to the Official Pix booth because Karen Allen was going to be there at some point. Come to find out... She canceled. Bitch. I went to the Cyanide and Happiness booth and got to meet some guys behind the scenes of explosm.net's comics and stuff. One of the guys from C&H drew me a picture. He said "What's the first word that comes to mind?" So I said my favorite word: "Penis!" So he drew me a picture of a penis with a penis. I'm totally framing that shit. I also hit up Dark Horse Comics since apparently Gerard Way (Lead singer of My Chemical Romance) was signing in regards to his comic book The Umbrella Academy. Turns out it's a "ticketed event", so I have to go back there tomorrow and enter the raffle thing. So by this time I've killed enough time by this point.. Wait... actually, I think I only went to 2 or 3 booths. Those are all the booths I went to.

Either way, amidst all my booth surfing, I run into Woman aka Ashleigh, and Dustin. Hung out with them for about 10 minutes booth surfing until Dustin informs me of the time. Shit!!! I gotta catch the Stan Lee panel! So I hightail it to room 6A. The line was kinda long, but I still made it in. Stan Lee was awesome.

Left before it ended so I could line up for the #1 thing during my Comic Con visit: an Autograph op with Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett, and Mike Nelson of MST3K fame. So fast forward, now. I'm next in line. My heart is racing, my breathing's shallow... I have my poster, my camera, and my copy of Manos: The Hands of Fate at the ready. I whip out my poster and DVD slip cover and start sputtering out words. I say I'm nervous and the usual fangirl stuff "Oh I love your show!" Then I turn to Mike and profess "And I've had a crush on you for the past 10 years!" to which he replies "Likewise" Gotta love that man. And then I get to take a picture with them. TOTALLY made my con.

So by this time I have completely blown off the Scream Awards cause I know I wouldn't be able to get in. I go to Horton Plaza to have lunch with my man. Walk around the mall killing time till he's on lunch. So I have lunch with him, kisses goodbye, then it's back to Con! It's around 5 something. Crap! Next panel is at 6. It's my Star Trek panel.

Line was relatively short, so I manage to get a great seat. The panel was awesome, and I scored a DVD! God, I love Trekkies. So panel gets out at 7, next event I have going is the Saw V sneek peak. I figure the line is going to be ridiculous, so I head there. And what do you know! The line is ridiculous.

The reason why is because there were 3 consecutive things going on in one room. Punisher thing is from 8-8:30; Saw V is from 8:30-9, and some other thing with Paris Hilton starts at 9. So the whole line is for all three. So Punisher gets full. One guy I was talking to says "Fuck it" and leaves. Kevin ends up calling me and asks where I was. I say near the front of the line. He said he was outside. Sucks to be him. So we eventually makeit into the room. I see Kevin and Jason make their way in, too. Awesome. There was a panel, too. Actors, writers, and directors are there. We get to see some sneak peeks, including a trap scene that was awesome. So panel/screening is over, and it lets out. I get wind of the fact that the stars are gonna sign outside. So me being the little fangirl I am wait patiently outside. Oh yeah, it paid off. I met Tobin Bell. Got my picture with him, AND I got his autograph.

So I leave the convention center at this point for my last big event of the day. THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!!!!!!! 200 people came!!!! It was awesome. Drew played Eddie and he looked REAL good. And me being the crazy girlfriend I am kept yelling shit at him like "I LOVE YOU DREW!" and "YOU'RE SEXY!". Needless to say I was the loudest one there (As always) and I lost my voice! I haven't lost my voice at Rocky in MONTHS!!!!!! That's how I can tell if it's a good show. So either way, a good first full day. 4 people wanted to take a picture of me, which was cool. Got a few shots of other cosplayers, too.

Until next time!

Alright, I'm keeping this short cause I'm hella tired:

Preview Night was rather awesome. Drove down with Chris, Jason, and Kevin, my normal Con group. We find parking, and head down to the Con. Packed with people. We get our badges and our free shwag, then head to Horton Plaza to kill time until we're allowed in the Convention Center. 6 rolls around so we line up to get inside. 6:15 rolls around and that's when they start letting everyone in. It was beautiful. I'm gonna be on TV tomorrow. On the G4 channel, I'll be on a show called Attack of the Show. Not sure of the times, though. I saw my friends Lee, Marisia, and Warfie. I have a BUSY day tomorrow. So I'm sleeping now.

San Diego Gay Pride 2008 [19 Jul 2008|03:49pm]

[ music | The 805. ]

So I got to go to Pride this year! I missed it last year, but went the year before with my best buddy Kevin. This year I got to hang out with Allison for a little bit (Yay Allison!) but then she went to go see a show at the festival. I got to help hand out fliers for Crazed Imaginations. Then I got to march in the parade for about 20 minutes or so. It was awesome! Next year, I'm gonna try to march the entire length of it. I didn't come prepared this year (Left all my rainbow gear at home ::sad face::), but next year should be better. The parade was awesome. Didn't see the whole thing cause I was with the CI float. But it was good times. Now I'm all sweaty and my feet hurt (Imagine if I walked the whole thing! Oi) so I think I'mma make some origami or some shit, I dunno. First I gotta read my forums, though.

OMG!!!!! Comic Con is next week!! I need numbers of people who are gonna be there so we can meet up. I'm going all 5 days and I'm dressing as "L" from Deathnote. Come find meeeee!

The Dark Knight [18 Jul 2008|05:44pm]

unseenanimosity
[ mood | quixotic ]
[ music | Casino Royale on the telly ]

was awesome!!

Okay, so Nic and I leave to go pick up Drew at around 5 or so. Nic lost track of time because he was watching Casino Royale. So we get in the car and head to Horton Plaza. We pick him up (He was talking to Marcus) and we head to Mission Valley! We get there at around 6 or so, and set up our chairs and chill out. Nic was a bit miffed cause we got there later than he wanted to. There were about 20 people in front of us, so we still managed fairly well.I had brought my Zune so I got to listen to tunes and watch an episode of an anime I have called Code Geass. Lots of conversing, movie title games and whatnot. So fast forward about 4 hours or so and Nic says time to put the chairs back in the car. So Drew, Nic, and I walk to his car and put them back. So we get back and the line had already started going in. And by the looks of it had been for a bit. Fuck. So we start to go in and we get stopped by a theatre employee. She asks if we are seeing The Dark Knight, and we say yes. She says we have to wait in the back of the line. I know she was just doing her job, but I got sooooooooooooo pissed. It's genetic, my anger. So I tell her we WERE waiting in line, so we're just gonna go inside. She says no. So we left before I could get REALLY angry at her (Good thing) so we go to the back of the long ass line and wait. All the while I stare off into space, clenching Drew's hand until he had to let go cause I was hurting him. I had run out of smokes (BLAST!) so I resorted to music to calm my nerves. I listen to "Teardrop" by Massive Attack (The theme song to "House") and "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap and I'm calmed. Slightly. We get into the theatre and we actually get the seats we wanted. So my rage levels depleted.

The movie started a little bit late, but was fantastic. I won't give any of it away for those of you on my flist who haven't seen it yet. Let's just say the trailers and previews BARELY show what's in the movie. There's a lot of shit that blows up, too. Which is always good.




Also, sometime in the near future I believe I'm going to delete ALL my avatars and start anew. I really want some House avatars and I have like 30 unused avatars so I'd have to delete them all in order to get House avatars.

Yet another wild and wacky dream of mine [17 Jul 2008|03:04pm]

unseenanimosity
[ mood | high ]
[ music | The 805. ]

Last night was a bad night. I had 3 fucked up the dreams. I can't for the life of me remember the first one. But the second one caused me to wake up in the middle of the night, something I haven't done in a while.

Setting: Steve, Nic, Drew, and Marcus' apartment
Characters: Me, Drew, Nic, Steve, and random people

So we were all over at the apartment and the first thing I can remember is there being a party. With about 10 people. The only people I recognized were Drew and Nic. So I look over at Drew after surveying the sea of people and I say to him "Honey, why are we having a party at 4am?" He replies, "Oh _______'s girlfriend is gonna get naked!" So I'm like "Sweet". Then Steve appears and he says to the group "Who wants to go "downstairs"? and about 5 or 6 people get up and go downstairs. I stayed up stairs and hung out with Drew some more. After about what seemed to be the equivalent of about 10 minutes in Dream World, I say to Drew, "I'm going downstairs". He says "Okay". I kiss him good bye. I start heading towards the stairs when I get this GREAT idea. Oh, let's run down the hallway, down the stairs, and do a side slide in to the garage! (Keep in mind the garage floors are linoleum and probably waxed). So that's exactly what I did. And let me tell you it was awesome! Like, fucking "Risky Business" Style. So as I make my entrance, Steve goes "There you are". So I take my place at the circle and let the fun begin! After my hit, I booked it back upstairs to hang out with my man. Again, DreamLand's 10 minutes equivalent after that, I remember, "Oh yeah, my hit!". So wash, rinse, repeat. Afterwards, Drew and Nic and I are walking out side. Now, this is where it gets weird. It's his apartment, but it's on MY street. So we're walking up the street and about 50 or so yards from the top, I see something in the sky. It's a truck. With a ladder on it. It's getting closer. And closer, very slow-like. Then it ends up crashing about 15 feet in front of us. Then, all of a sudden, we're launched up in the air by an unseen force, in the direction of the utility truck. Out of my left ear, I hear this high-pitched squeal, as some unsee object whizzes by my ear. I stare straight ahead, eyes focused on the utility truck, limbs flailing about like a fish out of water, and then I see it. A white plastic lawn chair is heading straight for us at an alarming speed. When it's about no more than 5 feet in front of my face I wake up.

I wake up at roughly 6am. I sit straight forward and hyperventilate. Drew puts his arm around me and rubs my shoulder. I was afraid to go back to sleep. But I told myself I couldn't just stay up, that's torture. So I force myself to go back to sleep.

I end up doing so.

Second Dream is as follows:

Setting: Random restaurant/train station/my neighbor Bob and Sandy's House.
Characters: Me, Drew, random people from Rocky, Sandy, Bob, my mom.

Okay, so I only remember bits and pieces of this story, so bear with me. For some reason, me and a few people I know from Rocky are hanging out in this restaurant thing. I decide to wander in to a side room. I go in, as my curiosity is very massive. It's this place and there's a TV in there. It has on it some very strange rendition of Rocky Horror Picture Show, with a few famous people, I can't remember who though. I alert the group, "Hey guys, come see this!" So the pile into the store and watch it for a little while. Then someone said "This sucks". I heard mutters of agreements, and everyone walked out.

End of Act One

So Drew and I are walking to this train station of sorts. But when we approach it, we find that there's a bunch of different trains! There's the equivalent to Amtrak and a Sprinter. We scout out the area and look in them and watch people and stuff. Their color scheme was white and orange. I disapproved.

End of Act II

Next, I'm in my neighbor Bob and Sandy's house. I'm hanging out and talking with them. In real life, they have just recently remodeled their pool out back. I haven't seen it yet. So in my dream, I ask to see it. It was gorgeous. Slides, little lagoon things, jacuzzi. Awesome. So fast forward a little later, I decide to brush my teeth. Don't ask. Fast forward, I'm sitting in a chair and I'm having this sensation which I cannot describe, nor can I remember. The only thing I do remember about it though was my bottom teeth being forced up underneath my top teeth. This causes my tooth to get insanely loose. I mean, we're talking by a thread (The whole getting loose teeth thing. Yeah, reoccurring theme in my dreams). So I start to panic and try to hold my tooth in place, as if somehow that would fix the tooth. Then, it starts to fall apart. Me being the dumbass I am, start to break pieces free. They were exactly like fingernail clippings. (Creepy, right?) I peel it off until there is nothing more to peel. I sincerely freak out and race to the bathroom to survey the damage. My tooth was nothing but a nub and dark grey. I mutter obscenities to myself and leave the bathroom. I go over to my mom who is sitting on a couch in the back room and I smile and say to her "Notice anything different?"

And then I wake up. At roughly 10am.


Crazy, right?

[ music | Nada, for once. ]

Fuck strep throat! Well, I'm happy to report that it's gone for the most part. You know what the turning point was? Fucking chicken noodle soup, I kid you not. I had two bowls of that shit, and I started to talk. Hell, I had about an hour long phone call with my boyfriend last night. I honestly thought I was only gonna last about 15 minutes on the phone. I can eat food now (Didn't eat anything on Thursday), I can open my mouth all the way (Albeit it still kinda hurts), my lymph node isn't huge anymore, I can swallow without pain! Freakin' sweet! And oh man... I was so drugged out on narcotics last night. The addict in me LOVES the feeling of prescription pain meds, but Oh Snap! My common sense is tingling!! I can't get hooked to narcotics, too! So I'm having my mom store them for me. As much as I love him, I can't turn into Dr. Gregory House. I mean, I'm a jerkface like he is, but I can't be hooked on prescription pain meds. Either way, for some God awful reason, I'm awake at 7 in the goddamn morning. So I'm gonna pass right the fuck back out. Peace y'alls.

End transmission.
