I know everyone's probably been getting this on their flists, but please--do not repost anything onto Twitter or Facebook from my journal without my permission. Till they give us a disable option I'm TRUSTING YOU ALL. OKAY? GOOD. (Seriously though, LJ can go fuck itself with that. We don't want to post things everywhere we are capable of opening new tabs if we want to and it's going to make internet wank a whole new level of horrific if RL social networking is involved. Something tells me you didn't think this through.)


In other news OMFG CHILDREN'S CRUSADE I CANNOT WAIT TO HOLD IT WITH MY FINGERS!!! IT WAS THE BEST TOMMYTASTIC ISSUE EVER AND I AM STILL FLAILING ABOUT IT FROM LAST NIGHT FDKJNGKDJDGJKG. I CANNOT PUT IT INTO COHERENT WORDS.


BRB ICONNING THE FUCK OUT OF EVERYTHING.

So it’s been a while since I updated this, and in the interim I went to SDCC, left the lovely lynxgriffin’s company and flew back to JFK, spent the night in an airport and then flew to Bermuda, which is where I am now. I’m going to write a report on the con, SO THIS ENTRY IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE VERY LONG WINDED as it’s way overdue, but I shall try and keep it short!

But this picture basically summarizes my trip to San Diego:


There was a big Marvel Wall. The Young Avengers had a tiny space to themselves (Cassie and Vision were futher up and Billy WAS NO WHERE TO BE SEEN 8C), and it must have been FATE OR SOMETHING BECAUSE TOMMY WAS THE ONE WHO WAS GROUND LEVEL. FUCK YES I WAS SO HAPPY I DON'T EVEN.

HERE IS WHAT WE DID. If you’ve already read lynxgriffin’s report, it’s going to be pretty similar since we spent the majority of the weekend together except you get a running commentary by me, aren’t you lucky. :D


( WEDNESDAY - DRIVING AND PREVIEW NIGHT )

( THURSDAY - TRON PANEL, AWESOME ARTISTS AND FINAL FANTASY CONCERT )

( FRIDAY - BATMANS AND SURPRISE JESSE MCCARTNEY )

( SATURDAY- MOTHERFUCKING MARVEL SKJFNKGJ )

( SUNDAY - SUPERNATURAL, GLEE AND HOMETIME )

So much for keeping that short, uh.

Oh man though, IT WAS SUCH A GOOD EXPERIENCE! I really want to go again next year, this time armed with business cards and portfolios I think, since I had a couple of people asking for my card and I didn’t have any with me. Derp. I met so many amazing people and had SUCH A GOOD TIME DKJNF ;____;

So about a day after we get back from comic con, I was flying out of Cali and back to JFK to finish my American Leg of this trip. I cannot express how much fun it’s been. I’ve met so many people I never thought I’d have the chance to meet, and I am so appreciative of all the people who housed me and came to see me. I love you all and I hope if you’re ever my side of the world I can return the favour. Seriously thank you all so much <3 <3

Spending the night in JFK was pretty uneventful. I bought a redbull and downed it, and stayed in the baggage collection lobby. The only working outlet was in a Dunkin Donuts, and the people behind the counter were kind enough to let me sit in the store on the floor all night. Of course, the only working outlet had to be RIGHT NEXT TO THE FRIDGE so I was fucking FREEZING all night. My will to be warm was overridden by my will to have internet though. Seriously, THIS IS WHERE I WAS SITTING FOR ABOUT 7 HOURS OMFG.

BUT NOW I AM IN BERMUDA doing family things and working my way through the entire Temeraire series (Currently on book three, already have a Maximus muse FUCK). I’ve had a bit of a turbulent time here, but that’s saved for another journal because I’d rather keep this one as upbeat as I felt coming back from comic con. Needless to say, I can’t wait till I get to go home on the 15th. I miss all my English dudes and I want to sleep in my own bed!

BUT BASICALLY: I FUCKING LOVE YOU ALL <33

OH OH GUYS ALSO THIS:

♥♡♥♡♥♡ THE ROLEPLAY LOVE MEME ♥♡♥♡♥♡


Mom bought the house Sky recently (for all you non-britons, its basically cable) and for a while we only had the most basic package since she didn't want to pay extra for channels she wouldn't watch? Cept then me and Hannah complained, and since the music channels and the kids channels were only £2 extra she let us have it. (take a wild guess which one I wanted 8D)

BUT ONE THING IS I wish Cartoon Network didn't play random episodes of TV shows in no particular order. Seriously, I was watching X-Men: Evolution today and I went from Kurt first getting there to the last episode of the season when everything EXPLODED and then back to when Kitty got there. SERIOUSLY GUYS HOW HARD IS IT TO PLAY THEM IN ORDER? I WANT TO WATCH THEM IN ORDER 8( Same goes for Teen Titans, but at least I've watched that series to death so it doesn't matter as much.. seriously I could tell you which season and which EPISODE NUMBER it was oh god

Of course all this watching of X-Men Evo and Teen Titans has not only helped my Beast Boy muse wake up a little, but it has also apparently given me a Evo!Quicksilver muse. I seriously don't need TWO JERK SPEEDSTERS IN MY MUSE SPACE GOOD GOD.


..pietro and tommy are totally partners in crime oh god


EDIT:( I have also been drawing a little since my tablet broke, so here, have a knitting ampharos: )

just because I already feel paranoid enough 8|

Going to London to meet up with squeakyorm today, and then picking up finalfantasia and silverbrumby123 who are staying over at my house for Expo :D can't wait! I've got a really busy weekend ahead of me, oooh boy. Lots of late nights and early starts and walking around London with people who are dressed as dead Itachi, BUT buying Pokemon Platinium today makes it alllll better. |D (it would make it even better if Nintendo were running an event in London so I could get Shaymin, but apparently I'm a month late for that, sobs.)

Also, on reflection I probably shouldn't have stayed up till 3am reading New X-men when I was crying that much (ITS A VERY SAD SERIES ;A;), nor should I have been contemplating with Squeak how Tommy would be the first Young Avenger to die because he's expendable and would probably give his life to save Kate's, because now I fucking exhausted and upset. OH WELL.
