Urge to play some sort of Capture the Flag/Manhunt game at Dragon*Con rising.

I think there's going to be a Dragon*Con chat on AIM tomorrow night (Thursday) at 9PM EST. We'll discuss all the usual crap -- rooms, costumes, general asshattery. XD

IM ME FOR AN INVITE THEN IF YOU WANT ONE, WE WELCOME YOU. <3~~

Yeah, I saw 17 Again. WHAT'S UP. I SAW IT. I SAW IT AND I LOVED IT. And Efron, you guys. Does this mean I need to watch the fucking High School Musical movies? Seriously? For more him I need to watch those? I'd do it. Do I need an icon of him? Really here? Really?

(Dude, Thomas Lennon was hilarious. I love that man. "I'M PEACOCKING.")

I will just use my standby icons of Kevin Zegers again while mentioning Zac Efron cause you know they are long lost brothers. For real. Do I need to picspam to show you again? No? I don't? Well I will SORRY GUYZ.


WHAT'S UP. DEAR SOMEONE, DO ME A FAVOR. PLEASE CAST THEM AS BROTHERS NOW. THX.

(I find it funny that Zac looks like the bitchy one and Kevin looks like the almost-happy one cause it's usually the other way around.)

In other news, see_aphy_be and I were discussing D*C and things seem to roughly be looking like this maybe.

FRIDAY: morning - Young Jedi Knights (Tenel Ka), afternoon - Sith (same character), evening - insert costume here?
SATURDAY: morning/afternoon - Left 4 Dead (Hunter), evening - Bioshock (Bridgette Tenenbaum)
SUNDAY: morning/afternoon - Clue (Mrs. White), late afternoon/evening - The Long Walk (Peter McVries)

So yeah, again, mostly group costumes. But who gives a shit, group costumes are just so much more fun. XD

But HOW ARE THESE TIMES WITH THE OTHERS IN SAID GROUPS??? I know we have a whole mess of YJKers, a few good Sith and a couple others in Clue and The Long Walk. So are these days/times good for you awesome thugs?

I figure setting things up way in advance is better cause if it's not set up then you get to the con and try to call people like, "ARE YOU WEARING IT NOW, WHEN ARE YOU WEARING IT? I HAVE TO FIND YOU ARE YOU WEARING IT" and then things get screwed up. This has happened to myself and friends numerous times. This is why I'm trying to figure out a costume schedule LIKE FIVE MONTHS IN ADVANCE. XD

(Also, interested in joining any of the groups? LEMME KNOW.

...WE NEED MORE WALKERS. WE ALWAYS NEED MORE WALKERS~ MOOHAHA!)

Wedding was spectacular. Valerie and Brian are married now and in California, hehe. I will have a post on it with fun details once we get the pictures back and all that jazz. :D

So it's almost May and that means it's time for some serious Dragon*Con planning. Cause there's only 129 days left. I think it's time for a D*C chat! Which means costume planning and timetable/arrival/etc. sharing and all that shit (also deciding when to do group costumes! :D). So if anyone wants in on a fun, crazy chat LET ME KNOW AND I WILL SEND YOU AN AIM INVITE WHEN WE HAVE ONE.

Now I must catch up on the friendslist and the RPing and all that jazz. XD

(And I love the Long Walkers on king_dressing, for real. <3333)

Game update!

-- RESIDENT EVIL 5 DEMO, MUST DOWNLOAD.
-- FFXIII TRAILER, HOT SHIT. (look at the battles! :O)
-- PERSONA 4, VOID QUEST DUNGEON = CLASSIC. PLAYER 1 START!


D*C Crap!

Long Walkers in the parade. We're seriously thinking about it just cause. Although, this would require getting up early. But dude, the walking, the crowds, come on. XD


RP janks!

Alright, king_dressing (Scott & Lisey Landon, Peter McVries, Chris Chambers) and swdressingrm (Tenel Ka [LotF], Zekk [post-NJO], Jacen Solo [18], Mace Windu, Tenel Ka [evil bitch bad TK] & Gadell) are eating my brains. How can you not love piles of crack relating to Stephen King and Star Wars?


RANDOM!

LOL, Jack Wall did the music for Myst III: Exile. I just found out he also did the music for Mass Effect. Maybe that's why I'm digging the music in ME so hard. Nice! <3

So my internet has been acting like a dirty whore but luckily I was out to dinner on Friday night and then at the Maryland Renn. Fair on Saturday so I didn't have to deal with it. D: Of course, it doesn't help when it's still acting like that. It finally is kind of working! :O

This weekend is Anime USA and I know I'm bringing Poison Ivy. I'll probably also bring Henry Townshend. Simple and comfortable outfit, plus I get to carry an axe and chocolate milk (and possibly the Eileen Barbie in my shirt XD). Although, I was thinking about bringing some makeup and being Sacrament 21 again. Cause that was fun and it's getting close to Halloween, so maybe busting out the nasty at the convention this weekend might be fitting. But knowing me, I will be lazy and just bring Henry. XD

Speaking of costumes... I think this is what Dragon*Con 2009 will look like. And of course, the list will probably change a trillion times before then. (Although, the list I posted after D*C 2007 of what I would wear at D*C 2008 was surprisingly almost spot-on. :D)...

-- the Masked Bandit (The Fall -- w/ Ashley as Darwin)
-- the Frog Brothers (The Lost Boys -- w/ Ashley)
-- Mrs. White (Clue -- group effort) [NOTE: costume already started!]
-- Tenel Ka (Young Jedi Knights -- group effort) [NOTE: costume already done!]
-- Tenel Ka (SITH! -- group effort)

And then some other possibilities:

-- Carrie (Stephen King's Carrie)
-- Peter McVries (Stephen King's The Long Walk -- parade what? three years in a row!) [NOTE: costume already done!]
-- Electric Dream Machine (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)
-- Sir Robin (Monty Python and the Holy Grail -- TEAM TAKEO WHAT!)
-- some Silent Hill costume

There's also a couple things the LOL RHYTHM BANDITS have been chatting about (yay costume discussions at IHOP!) so hopefully those pan out too. Heeehehehe~

kfljdakljdsfak SO TIRED. D:

(E.T. makes me cry like a bitch, you guys. I love that movie.)

GUESS WHAT? IT'S FRIDAY. :D

I really have nothing else exciting to say except that. BUT THAT IS EXCITING, YES? WEEKEND!

Oh, and LOL on the Marriott rooms for Dragon*Con 2009 ALREADY BEING ALL SOLD OUT. WHAT.

(And, man, Supernatural was absolutely Sam-less tonight but it was SUCH AN AWESOME EPISODE! <333 WOW~)

P.S. LOL SAMUEL AND DEANNA.

P.S.S. oh and did i mention ventcrawling -- boy needs his own community. so does fountain_palace girl. Now they match misguided_hero the dead one. :|

So I'm making a fanmix. And I usually try to keep my fanmixes to the point where they can fit on a cd (so under 80 minutes) -- but this one is at 82 and all the songs are so damn perfect that everytime I click on one to take it off the list I'm like, MEEEHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I made threads for the Clue costume group (here!) and the EU SITH PROJECT RUNWAY GROUP (here!) -- for D*C '09! It's always good to start early! MUAHAHAHA~ (341 days left!)

And that guy I posted a picture of the other day. It was River Phoenix. That picture gave more support to my "Jared Padalecki is the second coming of River Phoenix except more clean and less fashionably 80's" theory.

Mmmmm, excuse to post hot pictures.

(river = left, jared = right)

I know I've blabbed and fangirled about it before -- especially after seeing this picture of Jared Padalecki:

(jared = left, river = right)

(And you have no idea how tempted I am to compare those two pictures of JACEN SOLO. MUAHAHAHH~)

COSTUMEAGE! So I know I'm bringing Poison Ivy to Anime USA, but I'm not sure what else. Maybe an old Silent Hill costume? Or another old costume of mine? Or maybe I should get Mitsuru done? Or Shannon Matthews? I JUST DON'T KNOW. D:

And I think I almost have my Dragon*Con 2009 Costume List finalized, kekekekeke~

So here is the master D*C 2008 recap link and a possible list of costumes for next year, much like I did last year. XD

-- Thursday! (doughnuts! burning eyes!)
-- Friday! (bullet holes! doctors! swimsuits...?)
-- Saturday! (zombilicious! LEECHES! that other fandom!)
-- Parade! (lolol chips ahoy!)
-- Sunday! (ADAM AND EVE WUT? i'm sew happy!)

Dragon*Con 2009 costumes (definite and possible)!:
1.) Mrs. White (Clue: the Movie -- I LOVE that screencap~ XD)
2.) A Frog Brother (The Lost Boys)
3.) Tenel Ka (Young Jedi Knights -- already done)
4.) I kind of want to do a Carrie costume. :o You know, the whole nine yards with the bloody prom dress... that would be bloodier than all my costumes from this year combined! And would also require like a ten hour shower to get clean, SO I DON'T KNOW YET~ XD

I THOUGHT I HAD MORE IDEAS THAN THIS SO FAR...?

WOOOOOOOO D*C~

SUNDAY (and a tiny smidge of Monday) - AUGUST 31st, 2008: [ costumes: Maid Marian (Robin Hood: Men in Tights), Little Sister (Bioshock -- + Splicer = LOVE!) ]

( WE JUST GOT RICKROLLED TWICE! :D )

In the end, I have to thank everyone for making my sixth D*C one of the best and most classic D*Cs ever.

And I just have to give props to the Blood Drive at Dragon*Con. San Diego Comic Con produced about 856 units in their blood drive this past year. Dragon*Con, which has less members attending (about 30,000 attendees as opposed to SDCC's approximate 125,000), rounded out at about 1,182 units, so I hear. Everyone is drunk or hung over and is like, "YEAH LET'S GO GIVE SOME BLOOD, WOOO!" XDDDDD

I also have to say that I have never met an asshole at Dragon*Con -- everyone is jointly sweet and nerdy and geeky and proud of it. Sure, the convention is like the weird red-headed stepchild of the convention world, but that's why it's so damn incredible. Everyone should go at least once in their lifetimes.

September 4 - 7, 2009, bitches! BE THERE!


(LOL THIS PICTURE OF IRON MAN COOLING OFF = <33333~ I LOVE D*C. XD)

I took a trillion shots of the parade on Saturday morning, but these are just a few of my favorites. XD

( LOL SARA IS DANCING IN THE STREET~! )

The Sunday report will be up at some point tonight~ XD

SATURDAY - AUGUST 30th, 2008: [ costumes: Chris Chambers (Stand By Me), Tenel Ka (Star Wars - Legacy of the Force: Tempest), zombie!Shmi Skywalker (TEH DEATH STARZZZZ) ]

( NO NO NO, THAT'S ACTUALLY MY SKIN. OWWWWWOHHHHHHHGAWD. )

Seriously, you compare that FREAK OUT picture to the icon. YES! XD

ALSO, Ashley has a fetish for Stephen King characters who wear red-striped shirts!

FRIDAY - AUGUST 29th, 2008: [ costumes: Lisey Landon (Stephen King's Lisey's Story, Elliot Reid (Scrubs), Peter McVries (Stephen King's The Long Walk) ]

( No, we didn't bring our swimsuits. But dammit, we will hang out by the pool. (Yay for overuse of the angry cursing and word AWESOME!) )

Also, overheard at the convention: "I am so over Star Wars Galaxies. I play WoW now."

ROFL ROFL ROFLLFKDLKFLSDKFLDKLK hahhahahah~

ONLY 360 DAYS LEFT, YOU GUYS.

OH HAY. IT'S TIME FOR THE START OF THE D*C RECAP. It'll be separated into days. I was going to try to make it one long post but there's too much crap to contain into one big post -- so like last year it will be split up. LET'S BEGIN.


YOUR CAST & CREW / THURSDAY - AUGUST 28th, 2008:

( I'm not gay, but I would be for George Takei. )

BUT FIRST! FRIDAY! Which will be soon, hehe~ :D

I MADE THE MISTAKE OF WATCHING THIS MOVIE AGAIN TONIGHT.

DAMMIT, I AM MAKING A MRS. WHITE COSTUME FOR D*C NEXT YEAR. I WILL FIT MY HAIR UNDER A WIG. IT WILL BE DONE.





(I love her.

"It's a matter of life after death. Now that he's dead I have a life.")

Here is one of my favorite pictures I took from the con:

( Annie from Stephen King's Misery~ <3 )

The best part about it is the fact that Ashley really looks like she's gonna hobble murder someone with that axe. And the lighting. XD


And then my favorite picture of a costume of mine. Ashley is a genius and I love her:

( Little Sister from Bioshock -- dajfksjdfkasdj THE SETTING AND THE SHOT AND JUST KFJKSJDFJ. I LOVE YOU ASHLEY~ )

The empty elevator (EMPTY WHAT?) completes the shot and totally adds to the YAY ABANDONED RAPTURE feeling. XD

And then this awesome random shot of Jeremy on Sunday morning when we were all in Men in Tights costumes. He was Blinkin. And if you recall correctly, Blinkin was blind. So Erin and I were talking and we turn around to find Jeremy gone. He had wandered off and stood in front of a wall, staring at it like he couldn't see it.

( DID SOMEBODY SAY ABE LINCOLN? )


ALSO, LOL HERE ARE OUR SCRUBS COSTUMES. XD (IT'S GUY LOVE~!)


Gonna go to sleep now. My head still feels like there's a brick in it and I have a NEVERENDING HANGOVER. WHAT IS THIS CON CRUD I SENSE? I am so happy I took tomorrow (today?) off.

So I need to catch up on my FL and unpack and pass out and stuff but HOLY CRAP. DRAGON*CON WAS AMAZING.

AND THE DANCE LAST NIGHT. THAT WAS THE BEST DANCE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO.

Rickrolled by D*C twice in one day was a thing of complete beauty. So was dancing to it with a bunch of people I absolutely adore.

<3 YOU GUYS.

(Best lines of the weekends: "I LOVE LINES!", "Don't be that guy." and *insert insanely disgusted noise here*)

DEAR lusa_thul! That person that drew the hot hot art of Jacen and Tenel Ka ALSO DREW LUSA (linked to the gallery to pimp the rest of the J/TK & TK art! XD)! THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE THAT. <3, ME.


HAY I'M FLIPPING OUT. IT'S 12:30 AND THAT MEANS TOMORROW IS THURSDAY! :OOOOOO WOOOO!

Y HALLO THAR. I am putting together a contact list for D*C peeps. I said I would do this awhile ago then I forgot because I am a loser. I guess this is mainly for myself, but I'm sure it'll mostly be full of people on here/on Kriff This -- so you can always get a copy/a number or something, you know, if you aren't a creepy stalker and know the person. XD

So I am going to start making a little thing of yay up, complete with arrival/departure times and days, phone numbers, hotels and possibly even costume schedules so I can FIND EVERYONE AND PROPERLY DELIVER HARASSMENT. I MEAN, uh... yeah.

To put yourself on my said list of doom (even if I already have your contact info, you can throw it my way anyways so I can be sure it's all up-to-date), you can either IM me (Tenel Ka XD), email me (heather @ whatthefun.net) or PM me on KT (uh, click on the PM link under one of my posts on the board...? O_o). Hehe~

PHONE #, HOTEL YOU'RE STAYING AT, ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE TIME/DAYS WHATEVER, COSTUME SCHEDULE (this one is really seriously optional, but SEND IT IF YOU WANT XD)~

THXUOMG.
