What do you mean, verbose?

So. SO.

Extremely good times.

The drive to Orlando was okay, if a bit long (it's all the way on the other side of the coast.) Finally got to UCF at about 5:00, met up with darth_snuggles. After getting lost once and going through 2938742983 tolls (WTF ORLANDO, TOO MANY TOLLS), we got to the show at about 7:00. I've never been to one of these things, so I had no idea what to expect.

AHAHA HAHAA SO, we get to the room where all the guests are supposed to be. I spot Devon Murray (Seamus Finnigan on HP), and I kind of freak out a little I DON'T KNOW WHY AHAHAHA. But I was all, "Danni, there's a person over there who's been in a movie, Danni help I can't do it, DANNI OMG." And I'm sure she was all, "...dude, seriously, it's okay." So I finally raked up the courage (SERIOUSLY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW) to get my book signed (I brought my GoF book) and get a picture taken and whatnot.

I would just like to stop and say that I spent $90 total for autographs because I am either just that awesome or I am totally weak and pathetic. I DON'T KNOW. But seriously, I can't believe they were charging $20-$25 per person.

ANYWAY, I get up there, hey! hi! you're awesome! I asked him if he could sign my book, and he's like, "Sure!". So while that's being done, the lady next to him, a staffer, starts talking:

Lady: So, yeah, for the sixth book I heard there was some guy outside a bookstore with a megaphone saying, "Snape killed Dumbledore! Snape killed Dumbledore!"
Me: Dude, that's uncool. (Even though I totally heard about it before, ahah.)
Devon: Yeah, that's not cool. Wait. I heard that Dumbledore killed Snape.
Lady: You haven't read it?
Devon: No... someone told me that Dumbledore killed Snape! Huh.
Me: AHAHAHAH.

So, I asked for a picture and it TOTALLY CAME OUT BLURRY and the lady who took it didn't say anything and I didn't have the guts to ask for another one later.



Sidenote: He is SO SHORT, ahahah. And had a nice accent. Aww.

After that, we went walking around a bit around the sellers and stuff. One place had aawwweesome merchandise. Firefly Browncoat shirts, HP house ties/scarves, wands that were AWESOME and load of other stuff. I picked out two pictures of Alan Tudyk and Summer Glau to sign later herhgjharhr.

We came back to the signing area and noticed that a bit of a line was starting to form, so we checked out to see who it was. TOTALLY RIVER TAM. Ha ha.

We get in line, which is nice and short, owing to the fact that a lot more people would be coming on Saturday. We finally got to the front, and she was really nice and sweet and kind of shy. I asked her if there's anything in the works for a second season of Firefly, and she said, "I hope so!"



AWWW YAY.

(Omg ignore teh fat, I'm totes working on it.)

And then we went home.

SATURDAY was all kinds of awesome. distantechos one of Danni's friends (AND NOW MY FRIEND TOO OMG HAI :D) came with us. The first thing we did was go to the guest area, and WHO DO I SEE, but Stan. I mean. Guh. I kind of went into freak out mode again, but finally worked up the courage.

GAW. He was SO ADORABLE. His accent, and he's so soft-spoken and just... eeee. I asked him how he was liking Florida, and he said he liked it a lot, lot's of sunshine and stuff like that. I gave him my book to sign and told him how I wished he had more screen time. He nodded, and smiled a bit and said, "Oh, yes, me too." Omgawwl;kjsl;dj.



:DDDDDD (PS: GROPAGE.)

So I kind of flailed a bit after that, ahaha, and then we got a ticket to see ALAN TUDYK OMG. While waiting, we marvelled at the people who dressed up: a tall, black lady was dressed as Zoe and looked really cool. There was one guy who had an orange jump suit and a hawaiian shirt, but in the middle of his stomach he had a "hole" with blood around the middle ahahah omg. The guy who played Chewbacca walked right passed us, and so did the lady who played Joni on Happy Days. Also, Jessie, there was this girl dressed as the Corpse Bride and she looked SO COOL and I should have gotten a picture, but I didn't. :(

We were pretty much squeeing our faces off in line for Alan. And taking pictures.







We finally get up to the front. distantechos told him, "Welcome to the crappy little town where you're a hero." He LOLed, ahahah. And then it was my turn, and it pretty much went like this:

Me: Hiieee! It's so nice to meet you.
Alan: Nice to meet you too!
Me: (While handing him the picture to sign) So, yeah I was-
Alan: Whoa! Hey, I look good in the picture!
Me: Yeah, it's hot!
Alan: All right! Summer, Summer, look at this! Look how good I look!
Summer: Very nice!
Alan: Awesome. Where'd you get this?
Me: At a dealer in a building that way. *Points*
Alan: I just might have to stop in and get one. (Pauses) I think I'm wearing a little too much makeup, though.

HEEEEEE OMG. I am in love, man, in love.

I also told him that I'm a huge fan of A Knight's Tale, and he said that he actually just got together with a bunch of people in the cast recently. Which made me happy, because, Heath Ledger, dude!



*Exploads srsly*

So, yes, that was all kinds of awesome. (PSS: MORE GROPAGE)



All the HP boys were gathered together for some reason, so I snapped a picture.





They had all kinds of art and it was so pretty. Gah. I wish I could have bought some.

OH, OH. And when we were in line for Summer again, we looked over at Alan's table, and someone had brought him a pack of dinosaurs LOLOLOLOLLL!



So great.



And then we saw Darth Vader as we were walking. Omg hais evil overlord!

The signings:



It melts my brain with it's awesomeness.



♥♥♥♥♥♥♥



YAYAYAY.

I'm still disappointed that Jorge Garcia and Matthew Lewis weren't there. Stupid SAGs! Stupid Order of the Phoe... uh, well, no, scratch that. Timing! Yes, stupid timing! :(((((

All in all, it was so awesome, and I can't wait to do one of these again. Hopefully there'll be more around here, eeek.

Also, Heather, I tried to spot you on Saturday but I couldn't find you. :((( Ah, well, next time, right? Hopefully, hopefully.

Good times.

I think this is the most incoherant comment I've ever made. On your journal at least. Heeeeee!!! :Ojdsjhi[D-9SD]u-hyads.

Elijah Wood was at the convention I went to in the summer. But if you wanted to see him it was $50. If you wanted to meet him, it was $150. I was like... Pffft. Dude, no.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

SRSLY. *Dies all over the place*

OMGZ REALLY? I was pretty much almost gonna be like, "Hai Stan! *Smooooch* but I kind of figured that would cause, um, a bit of panic. :O

[stargazertook.livejournal.com]

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! And can I just say that I agree with the above post - when I saw you and Stan together I would have totally believed that you were a couple if I didn't know who he was. You two look great together (OMG don't tell my brother ahahahaha!). Sounds like you had an awesome time, so yaaaaaaaay!!!! *jumps up and down with you*

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, that's so cool! I wouldn't have thought so, but OMG YAY OKAY.

I also got checked out by stormtroopers. I am teh hawt.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

No way! Aww, I maybe even saw you and didn't recognize you. Maybe they'll do one again next year omgz.

Stormtroopers = pimps. Fer serious.

[berreh.livejournal.com]

omg honey I am SO SORRY -- Friday was such a mess for me and I was halfway to Orlando before I realized that I had never arranged a meet-up time/place with you. I thought, oh well, I'll email her when I get there. And then of course we had no internet. O.o BUT OMG I'M GLAD YOU MET ALAN!!

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Aww, that's okay! We'll set up some MST3K convention and totally go there, ehehee.

Alan = MY HUSBAND NOW YAY.
