The story of a bored individual...

Am kind of bored at the moment.

I've got one of those MySpace thingies... not sure how active I'll be over there, am not to fond of how it looks to be honest. Might just become another fandom forum for me. Anyway, if you want to take a look, go HERE.

Now I've been thinking that since Jensen Ackels has been getting so much attention lately, I'll give my other two boys some time:



Also, I was tagged by beluga to do the 20 hot guys list, am still working on it, this takes time. ;)
Be patient, it will come.

Leave a list of fictional characters in your journal that you would love to get a message from. It is your friend-list's mission, should they choose to accept it, to write you an in-character note from a character on that list. Then they post their own list in their journal and the process continues!

I'd love replies from the following:

Dean Winchester
Frodo Baggins
Wolverine/Logan/James Howlett
Marty McFly
Samwise Gamgee
Kevin (Rourke)
Kaylee Frye
Alec (X5)
Pippin Took
FiztChivalry Farseer
Simon Tam
Sawyer/James Ford
Fool/Beloved
Remy LeBau/Gambit
River Tam
Connor McManus
Marie D'Ancanto/Rogue
Matt Buckner
Hoban Washbourne
Han Solo
Spike
Mikey (Chain of Fools)
Malcom Reynolds
Jayne Cobb
Doyle (Angel)

Okay, I'll stop... If you come up with someone else you'd think I'd like, please feel free to write as that person. :D

Stolen from half my flist...

Name a fandom you know I know and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I first fell in love with.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer.
6. The character I would shag anytime.
7. The character I'd want to be like.
8. The character I'd slap.
9. A pairing that I love.
10. A pairing that I despise.

Since it seems like the rich text mode isn't working here at LJ at the moment, I'll have to give the good old coding a try. ;)

Anyways, on to the post I promised..
On Firday I had quite the day. I was finally going to find Forbidden Planet, a store full of fandom goodies. I got on the bus and headed in to Picadilly circus, had a look around there as well, had kind of expected to see signs of 'Serenity' coming this week, but sadly there were none.

So I started looking for Forbidden Planet, all I knew was that it was on Shaftsbury Avenue, and I'd managed to get a hold of the 'house-number' so I started walking, thinking it couldn't be too far. Turned out it was a few blocks, but I finally found it. :D It's a great store, and if I were rich I'd go totally crazy in there.

Met up with trav28 and his wife, Linda, which was very nice. We talked a bit and had a look around the store before they left to have some lunch. I wanted to check out the rest of the store, and then I had to get back to do some homework. I'd picked up a LOTR calendar for 2006 that I was definetly going to buy, and thought I would just have a peek
downstairs to know what was there without actually buying anything. That didn't happen, I got down there and there were so many things I wanted... they're selling 'Buffy' and 'Angel'
seasons for £19.99!! I am going to go back and buy, but I let it be for now, instead I bought the Serenity book and some collector cards, have not opened any of them yet as I am trying to stay
away from spoilers.

As I'm paying for this a guy comes over to me and asks if I wouldn't mind being interviewed for TV. They're kind of testing people to see if they're geeks or
not, I say yes, and he tells me that it's going to be on "Richard & Judy" which is a rather popular mid-day chat show here in the UK.
I have to admit I'm not a big fan of it, bacuse I think Richard is a horrible host. I get over to where the crew is and am introduced to the guy who'll be interviewing me. They start by asking me to show what I've bought, so
I do, then he starts asking me questions like 'who's your favourite dr.who?', 'have you ever been to a convention?', 'have you ever ordered pizza to your home?', then he showed me some pictures and asked me if I knew who these people were. So we finish and he says that I am a semi-geek, but since I'm a girl in a store like Forbidden Planet he'll upgrade me to geek, and then he asks me how I feel about that. I was rather amused by the whole thing so I just said something like; 'I'm proud to be a geek and everybody should embrace their inner geekiness.' They thank me and I sign a release form and am on my merry way. It'll be on sometime this week, but there's no guarantee they'll show me. The guy who asked me if I wanted to be interviewed said my english sounded good, but I'm guessing it'll depend on the editors, and how many other people they interviewed.

On my way back it of course started raining, so by the time I got to the bus I was drenched. When I got back to the house I kind of collapsed on my bed, but did get around to doing my school work, so that should be settled. :D

Yesterday I was at the Collectormania 5. It was great, even though I at one point thought I wouldn't make it.
The first obstacle was getting up in the morning, I was very tired, but I got out of bed, and got some food. Then it was the task of getting my hair to look somewhat normal, when my mom rang. It was really nice talking to her, as always, had a little chat with dad too.

When I finally got on my way there were a few delays in traffic, so I got to the train station a little later than I though I would. Thought I have come this far so I bought my tickets and sat down to wait for the train to Milton Keyes. There were some delays and I didn't make it to CM until about 13:30. The first thing I did was run around like crazy getting que tickets. I couldn't believe there were any left but I got tickets for Peter Mayhew, Ray Park and Craig Parker without any hassle. I had a real hard time finding Robert Englund's booth tho, must have walked past it at least four times because I got bad directions, but I found it eventually and got a ticket.

After I'd gotten all the tickets the thought of food struck my mind, I hadn't eaten since 09:00, and was getting really hungry. Went to the closest diner and had a look at the menu, they didn't have anything to my liking. I stood on the top for a while, saw Clint Howard. Decided to find my camera to take a picture, but as I hit the button nothing happened. The battery had died, so I had to put food on hold and had to go hunting for a battery. Finally found one, spent a little over 10 pounds on it, but I was just happy to have it working again. :)
Then I could finally get some food, so I walked a lot in the search for a place without too many people, and food I would eat. Ended up in Burger King in some remote location of the mall. Food was good. When I finished up it was about 15:30 and I got back to where the signings were and saw that Peter Mayhew had an open que.

( My meeting with Chewbacca. )

Afterwards I took a breather, even though I'd been sitting when I ate I didn't feel like I had done anything but run around most of the day. I usually sit still most of the day, so I was rather tired. I sent some text messages with Isen, she was at home sunbathing, just taking it easy. :) I decided to have a look in the stalls so I wouldn't fall asleep just sitting around, passed the board with the que-numbers and discovered that they had passed my number in Ray's que, and that Craig's had become an open que. I hurried over to Craig because I could get in to meet Ray anyway. I got over to Craig's que, and prepared to meet Haldir.

( My meeting with Haldir. )

I hurried over to Ray Park's booth, and got in his que, which had also become an ope que while I'd been over at Craig.

( My meeting with Toad. )

Was finished at about 16:45, sat down and waited to meet Robert Englund. Sadly it turned out that the mall was closing, and that Robert wouldn't be meeting anyone else. That was also something Isen wanted, but I hope she's happy I got the other two. Am happy I got to meet Craig because of her tho. :) So thank you very much for that Isen! :)

We had a great time this weekend. We didn't get to meet the hobbits, since all the tickets had been given out before we got there. But we we're prepared.
We all went to the "Two Towers" talk on Saturday. Saw Dominic Monaghan, Sala Baker, Lawrence Makoare and Brent McIntyre. That was fun, but I didn't feel like the crowd was as lively as last year.
Yesterday evening Camelia and I went to the "Fellowship of the Ring" talk, with Elijah and Sean! They we're great! The crowd was great and they seemed to have lots of fun; singing, joking, getting stuff from fans. Sean's brother, Mackenzie, called him in the middle of the chat, so we got to ask him a few questions as well. Seems like he's voting for Gary Coleman in the election over there... hmmm. But we had loads of fun

Today Lily, he sister and Isen left and went back to Norway. They should be boarding the plane as Im writing this. Sad to see them go. It's been a fun-filled visit.

Camelia booked tickes back home to Norway a sec ago as well. She's got some time off from school coming at the end of the month, 29.10-09.11. So I'll be all alone. *sobs*. Nah, I'll be ok. I'm gonna see if I might have a possibility as well.
Her trip cost 51£!! + about 25£ for the train over to Stanstead, but still! That's pretty damn cheap.
I have to find out how my reading-week is before I can find out about coming home. Seems like we might be having a film project going at time, so then I have to stay in the city.
I'll still be alone while Camelia is on her trip, but we might get thursday and friday evening together in Norway before she has to head back. I doubt I'll get time off, but it's worth a check...
