Currently re-watching

So its official, of course I am a nerd. Well I walked down the cereal aisle yesterday I got a little excited. I saw my bae Kylo on a cereal box. A tiny squeal came out before I grabbed a box. It's normal to take photos in a supermarket with cereal right? I'm sure it is. So many people walked past staring at me. Star Wars really is my main fandom now. It's always been there since I was a kid, but now I feel like I can really embrace it.

I recently started re-watching some of my favourite shows on Netflix. I think I probably know all the words to every single episode of Community on Netflix. That show is just purely amazing, and the perfect show to have on in the background, when you are getting ready, or when you can't sleep and need a show to watch. Of course I loved Gillian Jacobs before the show LOVE, and Community was where I fell in love with her. Well actually all of the cast. It's such a good show because of the amazing actors in it. 

I have also started my Orange Is The New Black re-watch before season 4 starts. It's a really good idea to have a break from a show, and then come back and re-watch. You normally end up rushing through the season because it's there for you to watch. This is a good thing, but its also a bad thing. You tend to rush through and miss lots of things. So on my re-watch I am picking up little things I didn't see before.

And last but by no means least I have been watching Daredevil, mostly because of Charlie Cox. I am really gripped to this show. I can't wait to meet Elden Henson, who plays Foggy, at LFCC this summer. I can't wait for this convention. I was away in America last year so I missed it. I have been going to LFCC for many years now. I just can't wait to and see all my friends and meet some new ones! Guest wise I am looking forward to meeting Sean Maher! I have missed meeting him like 4/5 times. I need his auto on my gorgeous Firefly print. Other than that I would love more Daredevil and maybe even Gotham guests to be announced for the con. Or maybe just some new Star Wars stars. Now a girl can dream right?

why hello! wave please?

so i had the best weekend. i went with my awesome friend Sarah to Hallowhedon, which is a Joss Whedon convention. so much fun was had. in the beginning i kinda just wanted to go because Amber Benson was going, and she was one of my favourite characters from Buffy. however Adam Busch who plays Warren was brilliant. he was such an awesome guy, so funny and cute. i am obsessed with his band common rotation.

i am in love so much.

really.

on replete.

all day.

every day.

all the time. they sing folk music, so therefore i love.other the weekend i met some wonderful people, had many chats and dances with people, laughed so much, took so many photos, dressed up quite a few times, eat so much food, went to many talks, quiz's, had photos taken, and honestly just had a good time. i met people from all over, and even other countries. there is something special about people from all over coming together for the same reason, because of something they love.coming back to normal everyday life isn't so much fun though. work is so busy, why, its like Christmas. all i need is some Christmas music and it would feel like Christmas. i am stocking up on Christmas music, with my old cd's and a few new ones i need to purchase. in other news i am planning the work Christmas party/meal with my manager, which is kinda fun...although i feel it might get a tad stressful nearer the time.

the best weekend

so, the weekend was awesome. like insane. got the train at 6.30am on Saturday. got to London just after 8. and then met my friends from Liverpool, Jessica and Victoria in the giant queue. i was surrounded by lots of dressed up people, lots of Amy pond's, the 10th doctor's, 11th doctors---dressed in cowboy hats and bow ties. once in, we ran to Evanna's desk and waited for her to appear. we were going to be the first, so that was gonna be cool. we were waiting there and Arthur darvill walked past...kinda 'eeked' out loud. when evanna turned up she was so lovely. we spoke to her for ages. she really seemed to want to listen and talk to me. she made me feel so special. she was just so warm and friendly. she signed my wand and a photo of herself. then later we met Arthur. i told him that i loved his bowler hat. he said thanks, however he was only wearing it due to the fact his hair was a mess. he then took his hat off and shook his hair in my face and said 'LOOK'. he signed an American doctor who comic i had got last week, which he was on front. he looked at it for a bit and was like, 'what is this?!?' he liked it very much. we then gave him an elephant hand puppet, and Matt smith has a badger, and Karen Gillan has a fox, he had to have an elephant, as 'he is the nose' haha. he liked it very much, and even remembered to bring it to our photo shoots to have it in the photo. i had an awesome Saturday, met lots of people, spoke to lots of fans, brought some cool little bits, went to the Harry Potter talk and the Doctor Who talk, and just had fun.Sunday morning i had to get up early again, as i went back. today was David tennant day. i really couldn't believe that morning today was the day i would finally meet David tennant, after all these years...watching Casanova, doctor who, everything...i really wasn't mentally prepared. so went with dad on the Sunday morning. got there, and everything seemed calm. although when it was photo shoot time, everyone went crazy. so many people who have never been to any of these events before really were not listening to anyone. i was in the queue with three people cosplaying as doctor who characters and a guy behind me. people keep asking us, is this the queue for David tennant photo shoot. we said yes and asked what number, keep in mind they were only calling numbers 1-100 tickets. and these people had 435, or like 698...we told them to come back later...but they would just stand there....it was really crazy. we just couldn't understand why they wouldn't listen. anyway, all the way in the queue we were talking about how weird this felt, finally being able to meet him. the queue was going so fast, and i realised i would only have a few seconds. but to be honest, anything would be enough. walking up to someone to like super love, in insane. i really don't think i will ever be able to explain it. people at work keep asking me, what was it like...but i never really know the right words. while i was watching other people in front of me go first, sometimes he smiled with his teeth, other times he had his mouth shut. he looked straight at me and said hello. he put his arm around me. i was thinking, please smile with your teeth...please. i looked out the corner of my eye...and he did. he was so lovely. if i had got his autograph i might of had a little more time with him...but i already have it a few times, and couldn't really afford it. i had such an awesome weekend. i still cant believe that i have finally met David. i thought i would meet him when he was old and grey. and that i met Evanna and Arthur, who were ever so lovely and funny. i missed doctor who...but i watched it when i got it. man, that was one weird episode. i do feel i need to watch it again. arrggh, hurry up Christmas...Saturday nights are going to be strange without it. back to normal everyday stuff now.

that's where you belong

today has been one of those days. blah. i don't really know where to start. maybe the beginning would be a good idea. ok, so woke up this morning like any other. i had such a giant headache, i felt so sick. went downstairs to find my dad sitting on the sofa with the same problem. only to hear that mum went to work with a really bad headache. this is weird.

ok, so anyway day goes on (no work today, day off), i then check this forum thingy to see if there are any updates on my convention in October, to then read a post that said a HUGE guest would be announced tonight at 7pm...the words huge were in caps and were in bold, so i knew this was gonna be big. so many ideas, and rumours had been going around in my head. there had been alot said about a giant doctor who guest, like Billie, or Christopher, or David or Matt. anyway day goes on, head doesn't get better even though i have taken medicine.

i sorted my phone out so i can get email on it, because i was getting fed up of keep logging in and checking to see if i got my pottermore email. and then it happened. there was a beep noise on my phone, and i thought to myself for a spilt second "that's my pottermore email"...and then thought, "nah, its not", so went back to doing what i was doing. about 32mins later, i checked my email to find i did in fact have my pottermore email. then i ran to the computer, logged on...and wow...pottermore is so pretty. got my wand. got a house. i was super scared about being sorted after J.K.Rowling talks to you about it. but i ended up being ravenclaw. i kinda love it. its perfect. so its 6.55pm, and i turn to my dad and say..."omg, who is this guest gonna be" he says he knows who its gonna be, but wont tell me, and he also tells me not to get excited. so i go upstairs to the computer to find out...the walk up the stairs seems like mega long, so long. log on to the website, it crashes..i think, damn...its a sign. get on to the page, and i see David Tennant's name staring back at me. my mouth kinda drops...i stare at it for a few seconds..then click the link. and hes only going Sunday...and i am going Saturday. its David Tennant...so i am going both days now. i have to. hes my all time favorite.


i have to go.


i just have to.


his autograph is like £45...i think that's far too much. I would rather spend £35 on a photo shoot (which i have), plus i already have his autograph, and at least i get to meet him..and touch him..maybe get a hug. to be honest, i feel like crying a little. its insane. i am so sorry about this stupid post.
also..i still have a headache.

BEST WEEKEND EVER

so the the weekend just gone was awesome. i went to my convention, and Karen Gillan was there. I GOT TO MEET KAREN. BEST DAY EVER. i got the train super duper early on Saturday morning, and there was still a giant queue outside. so many people were there this year...it was packed inside. so i had a photo shoot with Karen, and she was so lovely. i got to touch her hair, and have a little half hug..it was fab. i was really worried i wouldn't get to meet her and get her autograph as i had a high number, although some people had tickets into the 1,000, and mine was 588. went to a question and answer talk with her which was really nice, people asking for hug, giving her beautiful gifts, asking silly but funny question, one person asked her to sing and she treated us to a little bit of California girls. i met the cutest and coolest girls in Karen's talk. i sat next to them, and they were so lovely. i saw them later on in the day and we sat and had a little chat. they were so exited like me to meet Karen, we exchanged names and stuff so hopefully i will see them again next year. while i was talking to them the second time round, my dad and my friend sarah started shouting at me, hurry its our number now! (you have to get a number ticket for when you can go up and meet her and get her autograph)...quick hugs and then i ran in to meet her. she was so nice. i can't really remember what i said as its all of a blur, but i told her that she was awesome, and i that it was lovely to meet her. she said thank you, and that it was lovely to meet me too. my dad had a little chat with her about how good she is doing in the show (hes a loyal doctor who fan, watched it from the start, as he like to remind me)..although, i think she might be leaving...i have this funny feeling. best day ever.i got some awesome stuff as well as my Karen auto, that i will treasure forever, as you can see, i brought a frame while up there, plus my cute 'bow ties are cool' mug.also, i got some cute mail from amy...which was awesome. i will be writing back very soon. ps, i love the dalek drawing Amy!!!

life-like

(a scott pilgrim cut-out that was standing around at the convention...i really wanted to steal it.)
i have had a few wonderful adventures over the past few days. went to London on Sunday for London film and comic convention, and it was awesome! i met a guy dressed up as the doctor, stole a stormtroopers gun, walked past many hot nerdy guys, looked at stalls filled with comic books, toys, posters and other amazing stuff, brought American candy, FINALLY got my hands on a Scott Pilgrim poster, looked at old comic books, saw a few famous people from a far. on Monday i went to London again with Mandy for an arty trip...which i was very much in need for. i really miss looking at art, and going to galleries, i really need to get back in the mind frame. anyway, went to the surreal house, ra summer exhibition and we also went for a look at the work currently in the saatchi gallery...we also had enough time to walk past noel clark on the street..i wanted to go up and say hi, but he was on the phone, it was still pretty amazing though! the art at the saatchi i did quite like, because for some strange reason i really loved all these quirky little characters i seemed to spot, they started to make me laugh.
i think i feel a little more creative now..which makes me feel alot better. i had a fun day. :)

why the rain? why today?

so my weekend begins going to my film and comic convention in London. it was a lovely day. the train journey could have been better. but once we got there the sun was shinning! the only sad point of the day was that Peter Facinelli forgot his passport so could not be there on the Saturday!! :( however i did get to meet Justin Chon- who plays Eric. he was so lovely! and rather funny! i couldn't stop laughing. i also met Alex Meraz- who plays Paul in new moon. oh he was rather hot in real life! :)i spent a little money..hehe. and found wonderful gifts for my sister and my friend.on Monday it was time to head back up to Nottingham to graduate! eeek. all day and night i was so scared. but in the end it was ok, and rather sad, fun...and a little more sad. i will miss my favourite city and my beautiful friends. the journey home, wasn't very nice. lots of traffic...and even more rain....its nice to be home.
