[Error: unknown template qotd]I've met a handful of famous people, mainly at conventions, lol.

Roy E. Disney - We were at Animal Kingdom Lodge years and years ago close to when it opened and Roy was there. Dad recognized him in the hallway and we got his autograph in our Disney park autograph books. XD


Conventions (mostly only listing people I've talked to quite a bit and befriended in the order I've met them ^_^):

Chris Ayres and Greg Ayres - I've seen them a few times at conventions and they're really awesome to hang out with.  We spent a long time with Chris at OMGcon this year and that was a lot of fun.  ^_^

Spike Spencer and Colleen O'Shaughnessey - I didn't spend too much time with them, however, they stayed on extra time at MTAC in 2010 when the flood hit and held a special panel for a pretty good long time to entertain con-goers who were stuck at the hotel. Afterwards, I got their autographs and I really, really appreciated that they stayed. They didn't have to, but they DID.

Rikki Simons and Tavisha Wolfgarth-Simons - Tavi isn't really famous, but it feels wrong to not include her, she's really nice and I enjoyed talking to them both. ^_^

Ellen McLain and John Patrick Lowrie - <3 <3 <3 They are super nice and just about my most favorite people outside of my family. <3 <3 <3



There might be some others who I just said hi to or I don't realize they're famous. XD Also, my Sister is writing a book, so maybe she'll be famous one day and I can count her. XD

Today was pretty good.

I did 20 lines of knitting for Teen Night tomorrow.  I hope that's enough, I don't know if more were asked for last time. XD  The scarf looks kinda wonky so far, but not horrible, hopefully I won't botch it up and I can complete it.  XD  Though, the knitting hurts my hand after a while.  :|

We went to eat at Fazoli's, yay!  ^_^


We looked up our family crest on vacation, turns out there's an English version and a German version.  Dad's always said our family was from Germany at some point in time, so we looked at that one.  In the middle of it, is a guy holding an arrow.  We are TOTALLY Quincies.  XD


I finished the icons for the 3rd character and I got the screenshots for the 4th.  I'll work on the icons for the 4th sometime, but there's over 200 screenshots to pick through, though some were only taken for the lulz.  XD

I set up 3 new accounts, you'll probably see them poking around sometime.  XD  Though two are inanimate objects.  XD

thaaaank_yooou - Graveyard Flower Pots
nice_ice_key - Ice Key
party_sphinx - The Party Sphinx (Take a look at his entries if you wanna get a peek at my ideas for the party at my musebox soon.  XD)

Things have been a little crazy the past few days.

Saturday was okay, me and Dad went with Mom to see Eclipse.  It was boring and angsty, but it had wolfies and I got popcorn, so all was well.  XD

Sunday, me and Dad played Mario Kart.


Sunday morning, our WiFi Internet hub died.  We only had 1 computer on sloooow dial-up that everyone was fighting for.  XD  Mom was on the computer when it died, so she called Bellsouth and got everything taken care of and a new one ordered.  The new one came today and Mom plugged it in and I set it up.


Monday, Dad dropped me, Mom, and my Sister at Nashville for most of the day.  We were going to eat at the Spaghetti Factory, but it was closed when we got there.  :|  We ended up at the Hard Rock Cafe, which was yummy and we saw some other people that were going to the concert tonight.  Turns out, there was another concert on Monday, Creed was apparently was going to play a show upstairs, we heard some of their music thumping while we ate, and then we went to look at the stairway of Beatles stuff (including 4-5 giggleworthy Spanish posters for the Yellow Submarine movie XD), and we could hear the music coming from behind the doorway.  We lurked around for a while, but didn't see anything.  XD  We then headed to a hotel across the street to the stadium.  On the way there, we ran into one of my Sister's friends and worked it out that she'd take us home (her house is past ours) so we wouldn't have to find a taxi.  We went our separate ways, and we stayed at the hotel's lobby for a while, just relaxing.  I saw a bunch of birds on the skylight.

When we got in line, a storm was starting up, just thunder and lighting and dark clouds, they sped up the entry and we got in before the rain hit.  We stood in a "line" to get souvenirs, it was kinda a mess.  In line, we heard the concert had been delayed about 45 minutes because of a tornado warning, so we had plenty of time, even though it was crazy.

Our seats were on an end of the row, so my Sister sat closest to the stairs.  My Mom and Sister were the ones that really wanted to go to the concert, but I went along anyways because I knew it would be fun and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  I don't think Paul McCartney is going to come back to Nashville, at least anytime soon.  It was his first concert there.  I didn't know most of the songs, but it still was a lot of fun.  ^_^  Paul and his band were full of personality and fun.  ^_^  There were a TON of people there, I don't think there was an empty seat.  We stood up a lot, because everybody else did and we couldn't see around them.  We couldn't see Paul too well from where we sat, but they had giant screens with him and the other band members zoomed in on, so that was good.  He changed guitars a lot and played 2 different pianos, and said that some of the guitars were the ones he originally used, so that was really neat.  And during "Live and Let Die", there were fireworks on stage!  Soooooooo neat!  ^_^  He played for about 3 hours straight with pretty much no breaks.  He played a lot of different songs, some Beatles, some Wings, and some of his own.  He also played "Tequila", which was totally hilarious.  XD   The concert was so wonderful, I wish we could do it again, it was so exciting and fantastic.  ^_^

After the concert, we found where my Sister's friend parked, and she drove us home.  We didn't get back until after midnight.  XD


Today was pretty relaxed, we just ate food at home.

Me and Dad also went for a walk.  ^_^

Me and Mom met Maddie at the library, and we finished up getting all the zombie party stuff cut out and set up. 

:|  Speaking of the zombie party, we decided to peek at the murder and victim, I thought it would be best if I played the victim, since I knew what needed to be done when it's time for the victim to be killed.  Mom also wanted to assign certain people to the main parts. so we needed to know the murderer.  Well, the last clue and the end of the game is a real doozy.  :| 

*spoilers for mymysteryparty.com Zombie Town game*

The victim is a human on the run from the mafia.  Turns out some of the "zombie" characters are really humans taking part in a reality show for the last one standing.  The leader of the town is actually a human who's in charge of the reality show. 

The real problem is that the humans are never told they are humans until the LAST card is read, then the "plot twist" comes out.  They think they're zombies until the last card is read.  :|  Knowing they were humans all along and that they're in a reality show (because they signed up for the show) all along would make sense, since they need to know their characters.  Throwing a ridiculous plot twist at the end that changes the very fundamentals of several of the characters (and the people playing them won't know that they're human unless they figure out the obscure clues on their sheets, the part about the reality show is NEVER alluded to on any clue sheet - the only hint is that the leader WAS a movie star) is terrible, terrible storytelling.  It kind of throws the whole game into a farce, who knows what's going on if the characters are going to change at any minute and you don't know what's going to come for your character.

And it gets BETTER!  The endgame is where the leader is trying to escape.  The group must choose a hero!  The REAL zombies must write down the name of a fictional character to do battle with the leader.  Such as Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, etc.  :|  There are 4 scenarios of characters and one for any other character that's come up with.  This is ridiculous on so many levels I don't even know where to begin.  I will probably post the last clue or the portion of the endgame just so you can see that I am not making up this level of insanity.  It's ABSURD.

Mom's glad we peeked at the answers, because the teens would have laughed us out of there.  This game is targeted for teens and adults, and it's concluded by summoning a fictional character.  I DON'T EVEN.  That's not even a real end to any mystery, zombies or elsewhat withstanding.  :|

We're going to either cut off the endgame from the final clue or something, because this is just too insane.  :|

Edit:  Apparently they don't summon the fictional character, naming fictional characters just sorts people into groups based on which fictional character they named and then each group does whatever the solution is.  However, the ones listed aren't ones that people would probably name when told to name a "fictional character".  It's a red herring of a sorts, just so people don't know what they're choosing.  But, each solution isn't all that great anyways and it was rather confusing to read the first time.

*end spoilers*



We've been having 1 or 2 crickets every day, it's crazy.  XD  One just fell off the mantle or something, because it made a noise when it landed on a folder and scared me and Mom.  XD



I kinda miss RPing Renji causally, he was my main on Gaia for a long time and I threw him into AIM RP every now and then.  I probably haven't picked him up in a year or two.  I'd never play him on LJ, there's just too many good ones, and I'm so rusty and I'm pretty sure I play him SO WRONG.  But, I do miss him in his own obnoxious way.  XD

Today was pretty good.

Slept in a bit.

The doorbell rang this morning, I hoped it was my Companion Cube, but it was steak instead.

We went to Red Robin to eat. Oh, their bacon cheeseburgers are so good! <3 They're one of the few places I can actually finish my whole burger. XD <3 Nom nom nom. ^____^

Also, got RickRoll'd at Red Robin, it was playing on their radio.  XD

Been poking on the computer some.

I went out to put water in the water dishes for the birds, and Dad had put the dry ice from the steak in the backyard, so I spent a bit pouring water on it and watching it steam.  XD

Me and Mom ate half of my birthday cake tonight. ^_^

My birthday cake, I has it:

It was Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Cake from Baskin Robbins. ^_^ Mmmmm. Nom nom nom.


 

Blah, Blah, Blah, RP, Blah, Blah, Blah

I was looking up Kabuto chapters for my canon review of him. I think I have close to a full list, if not a full list, I was using chapter summaries I found, so this may not be a complete or accurate list. Ones with question marks mean it wasn't stated he was in it directly, but it would make sense if he was there.

( Cut for long list )

Today was a pretty interesting day.

I poked around with the Wii News.  ^_^

We went to help out Mrs. Betty at the library for a while.  I stamped some dates on McDonald's cards.  The box had a ton of cards, and I didn't think I'd be able to finish, but I did.  XD

We went to Chili's to eat.  I had a really fantastic bacon cheeseburger.  <3

After Dad went to work, we went to the bank to open an account for my Sister.  I wandered off to look at the kid's corner, they had LEGOs and coloring books.  XD  Mom was fussing at me and saying we were going to get in trouble.  I was confused.  XD  Turned out, from where she was sitting, all she was was me lurking around the safe.  XD  We went in a room to talk to the guy to open my Sister's account, my Mom figured out his was Josh from next door all those years and years ago!  XD  He said his sister, Katie, was in college in her last year.  I used to play with Katie and Josh when I was little.  I thought they were SO COOL because they were older than me.  XD  One of the last memory I have of them is playing Excitebike with them.  XD  I later got Excitebike used because of that.  XD

We then went to Barnes and Noble and I poked around and found some interesting looking series, but I didn't get anything.  XD

At home, we didn't do much.  ^_^

Today was interesting.

Mom woke me up and asked if I wanted to go with her and Pappaw to go gambling.  We had been talking about doing this trip earlier in the week, but things had come up, so we didn't go.  I agreed to go, so I got ready and we went to pick up Pappaw.

We drove 3 hours to Indiana and stopped at a Chinese Buffet, it was good.

The casino was on a stationary boat.  It was pretty cool, but we were only on the bottom floor.  XD  We played the penny and the 2 cent slots.  Mom got on a good machine that kept paying out and stayed on it the whole time.  I moved machines a bit, and the Unicorn one was the best one for me.  XD  I still lost $30, Mom came out with $40 extra, and Pappaw lost his $20.  XD  We only stayed about an hour, Pappaw wasn't feeling well.

We then drove back home for 3 hours, stopping at a gas station to get snacks early on.  The drive there and back was nice, a lot of good scenery.  In Indiana, the river was overflowing and there was a lot of water everywhere, it was crazy.  XD

At home, we caught up on some TV and are now watching The Mighty Ducks, it's been a long time since I've seen it.  XD

I'm going to a convention next month, and I don't have a costume because I can't decide on a character. >_<

It's too late to make a costume. I remembered that my friends that said they were going to help me are working at a convention, but I'm not sure when it is, plus they're finishing their costumes, and whatever schoolwork they have, so that's out. 




I want to be Roy from Super Smash Bros. Melee and Fire Emblem 6.

And there's no Roy costumes on Ebay.

Too bad, it would have been fun to wander around and yell at the other Super Smash characters that it's not fair that I got kicked out, and me and Mewtwo, and Dr. Mario were going to have a game of our own. Ha ha ha.

And my Sister said that I'd look stupid as Roy.

Well, I'd look stupid in most costumes.

My Sister has two costumes, so I thought it'd be fun if we had costumes from the same thing, then we could poke each other.




She has a TenTen costume from Naruto.

I don't want to be a character from Naruto.

I don't care for most of the characters.

She says I look like Kabuto. Even so, it'd be weird.

Everybody'd be like "RAWR EVIL" except Orochimaru who'd be like, "Yo, servant, do stuff." And I'd be like, "No *runs away*", and he'd be like, "NOOOOO COME BAAAAACCCKKKK~! *tear*" and then I'd point at a random person and yell "BETRAAAAAAAYYYY!" and yeah.

Neji hates everyone. I could be him, but I don't want to go around the whole convention hating everyone and stating the obvious. Then Hinata would be like, "Relative!" and I'd be like, "Haaaatteeeee." And Hinata would be like, "Why do you have glasses?" And I'd be like, "Byakugan exploded..." And Hinata would be like, "Oh."




She has a Momo costume from Bleach. 

Bleach causes problems. 

I want to wear normal Shinigami outfit. Not so tough? Yeah right.

4 people in Bleach wear glasses. One isn't a Shinigami, so count Uryu out. Don't wanna be Nanao, she's boring, and I don't want old drunk guys stalking me all convention. Aizen's a no, he's evil, has the silly Captain's outfit, and my glasses are not dorky enough. Tosen's also a no, he's evil, has the silly Captian's outfit, his glasses are silver, and I look NOTHING remotely like him. I could get away with the other three, but not him. XD

My friends said I could be Rukia. I guess I could go with that, except there's the whole mess of CHOOSE RENJI OR ICHIGO and that's a whole another story.

And Byakuya'd be like, "Little sis!" and I'd be like, "Big bro!" and he'd be like, "Why do you have glasses?" and I'd be like, "I stared at Ichigo's hair too long and went blind." and he'd be like, "That makes sense."




I thought about Organization XIII from Kingdom Hearts, too, but after a long and careful thought and realizing that their outfit is probably going to be very warm as it is leather-ish and close-fitting, not comfy.

No Sora either, then Kairi'd be like, "LOVE." And I'll be like, "No. I'm Sarah, not Sora." And Kairi'd be like, "Close enough... And why do you have glasses?" And I'd be like, "I am SARAH." And she'd be like, "Whatever *hugs*" And it'd be weird.




I thought about Marcus from Digimon Data Squad, me and my Sister say he looks girly. I almost have the right hair for him, I just need to put part of it in the silly ponytail. I got his Digivice for my birthday, so I could put it on a string, and then pick it up every so often and yell at Agumon to be quiet and that lunch would be later. And if people asked about my glasses, I could say, "Ultimate fighters can wear glasses if they want to!" But, that all would be just too weird.




Annnnnnnnddddddddddd.....................yeah.

So, I have problems. 

Today was pretty interesting.

English class was okay, we discussed our papers in our groups.

Programming was okay, we talked about a new chapter, and I did my homework.

We didn't have Legal class today.

I ate at the buffet place. They had something that they called "Apple Sausage and Chicken Hash". It had apples, sausage, chicken, and vegetables in a soup-like liquid, and they poured it over cheese grits. As odd as it sounds, it wasn't too bad. XD

Back in my room, I worked on my English work, then studied a bit for Geology.

I talked to Mom on the phone. She said that there was a bad snowstorm coming tonight/tomorrow. >_< I wrote Alicia to tell her about it and ask if the trip was still on.

I left to go wait for the anime club to start, and on my way there, Alicia called and said her Mom didn't want to drive in the snowstorm, so we'd discuss plans tomorrow and see what happens with the storm. She said that I could stay at her and Eric's apartment if the snow got bad, since the dorms close tomorrow, and we were going to leave for the trip.

Anime club was okay, Clannad made me cry. >_< The end of the arc we were on was so sad... It's the first anime I've cried at. (Mai-HiME was close, but I managed to keep myself together.)

Nathan walked me back to my dorm, he had to park near it because of the games going on tonight.

Back in my room, I did a few things.

After my shower, I discovered that my hair dryer was dead, so I ended up drying my hair with the hand dryer in the bathroom. XD

Well, that's about all for today.

Today we went to Memaw's funeral.

We picked up Pappaw and took him to the funeral home.

We went and looked at Memaw, we got to have a bit of time with her body beforehand.  It was so weird seeing her like that, it looked like she was sleeping...  She was in a dress that she had worn at a party.  I touched her hand, it was so cold...  It was really weird...

We talked to some relatives before the funeral.

Before the service, they opened the casket, so we could see Memaw, and Pappaw could make sure that she was in it.  A relative that was a preacher did the service, his name is Tony.  We talked to the relatives afterwards.  We also got a few flowers off of the bouquet that Pappaw had bought.

We went with Pappaw's family to Old Country Buffet to eat, and then went to Memaw's relatives' house.  Me and my Sister mostly kept to ourselves, but we talked to some of the relatives.  Some of our cousins we used to play with when we were little brought their Wii, and me and my Sister played Wii Bowling with them a little bit.

We took Pappaw home and talked with him for a bit.

At home, Mom took a nap, and me, Dad, and my Sister watched Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame and Alice in Wonderland.

Well, that's about all for today.
