I'm tired. And I don't want to study at all, but I'm gonna have to eventually. Yesterday was a lot of fun though. Crazy spontaneous day. Heh. Met Liza Weil and Jason Dohring (again) and got to hang out with friends too!

I left around 11, stopped at the mall to switch cars, and then headed down to Santa Monica. I'd written down the directions on a post-it, but didn't even look at it during the drive. And I didn't get lost! I'm getting better! THough I did have to go around the block once to get into a parking garage, lol. I'd called stina_bo_bina and left a message and she finally called me when I was parking. So yay, she's alive! Ha. I talked her into coming down to meet me since she lives insanely close to the promenade.

I found the American Eagle store and got into the line around 1pm. There was already a bit of a line, but not too long. I recognized some people towards the front from the other AE thing and LJ (pinkbutterflies and nowacki). The girl behind me recognized me from my posts and pictures of the mall event so we started talking (and I can't remember her name so if you see this, add me! ETA: Yay bellereve_). Then behind her came a group of more LJ people. Some I knew already, or at least knew of, and then met some new people too. They're all very fun. babybonkerz87, afrocurl, devidarkwolf, aprilbegins, etc. Christina showed up and we all just hung out and talked until the line started moving. I love hanging out in the lines at fan events. They're insanely entertaining.

Jason and Liza came out and sat at a table behind the stairs. We were standing on the other side of the stairs to begin with, so we couldn't see much until the line started moving. It helps that I'm tall and can get my camera way up in the air for random pictures sometimes, lol. Somehow our group got turned around as the line moved and Christina and I ended up behind all of the people who were originally behind us (*cough*pushy Roz*cough*). Hee.








We got closer and started figuring out who was going to take pictures for each other and what needed to be signed. Liza caught me taking pictures from the side and looked right at me before I got up there. It's kind of blurry, but still pretty. I'd forgotten everything I wanted to say to her by the time we got up to her. Except I did ask about Doyle 'cause someone wanted to know if we'd see him again. And she said she thinks we will be seeing him soon. So yay! babybonkerz87 asked her about Doyle later on, too. He's missed! lol. She's really pretty and nice, and pretty quiet. They were signing headshots, so I have a picture of her signed now, plus I had her sign my autograph book because I like having everything together. Heh. Oh, and I told her you love her, Nate. ;) Took a picture with her where you see how dorky and tall I am. She's so tiny.








Then came Jason. I took a picture of him with the girl in front of me and then he came back behind the table and shook my hand and totally recognized me. He said we'd met before and I'm pretty sure I giggled and said yes. No extra information, lol. Such a dork. I told him my name so he could write it down and then started spelling it and he's all, "Oh yeah, I remember this name." Heeeeee. Oh, and he loves me. Says so on the picture :P




When we were in line one of the girls asked if I could get a picture for her friend since she'd already asked for 4 things signed. So I told Jason the name and he asked if he should write something and I had to tell him that I didn't actually know the girl, I was just getting it for someone so sure! Then I took a picture with him and said it was great to meet him again. Took a picture for the girl who'd cut in front of Christina (pshaw!) and did I take your picture too, Chrisina? Anyway, then we went over to hang out in the area across from the signing. Compare pictures, share giggles, all that fun stuff. Hee.



I don't think I ever leave an event early. I love hanging out til the very end and just stalking people as long as possible, lol. After they'd finished the people in the line, they store wanted to take a picture of Jason and Liza with all of the workers there. They took down the posters they had on the table and someone was asking the woman if they could have the Jason poster, but she's already promised it to someone else. She said we could have the extra Liza one, so I grabbed that. Heh.








Roz had a whole list of things to talk to Jason about. And I think babybonkerz87 went over and talked to both Liza and Jason for a little while before they left (and showed off the picture she took with Matt Czuchry this summer). And then I didn't really see it, but I think one of the girls from our group called out goodbye to Jason as he was walking away and he turned around and waved or something 'cause then there was a lot of giggling, lol. Our big group decided to go see devidarkwolf's car, so there was this long line of us filing out of the store and then walking through the crowded promenade to get to the parking garage.






When I was standing in line at the store, supiegirl had called me to see if I wanted to go see a movie with her at 7:30. They were playing the original Superman at a theater in Santa Monica and she didn't have anyone to go with her. So I said I'd go. I'd never seen the movie and I haven't seen Sarah in ages so I was excited. When Christina and I left the VM group, we tried to call Sarah to figure out where I was supposed to meet her and all that. She wasn't answering so we both left messages and then kept calling her over and over again 'cause we're weird and it amused us. We were in my car about to drive over to her school and stalk her when she called me back and we figured everything out. I was holding Christina hostage, so she helped me find the theater before I dropped her off at home.

I headed back over to find a parking spot and then was talking to Sarah on the phone as she drove over. We were starving so we walked up and down the street the theater was on to look for something to eat. There were only a few little restaurants and they were all expensive so we kept walking and then called Christina to harrass her and have her help us, lol. We were going to walk way down to another street when we finally found a place where we were that wasn't too bad. Mmmmm, food. I hadn't eaten all day and was dying of thirst so it was all very good. Heh. After dinner we walked back up to the Starbucks to get something. I was insanely full by the time we sat down for the movie, lol. It was fun to see the movie on the big screen. They were actually showing Superman and Batman, but we only stayed for the first movie. The people there were obviously fans and knew all about the movie and stuff. I love it when whole groups of people clap or cheer over names or certain parts of movies. It's just really cool. So that was a lot of fun.

We finally got out of there and back to our cars around 10:30. Sarah led me back to the freeway and I headed home. I had a missed call from lbg77 so I called her back, and all I'll say is that drunk!Laura is hilarious. She might kill me just for saying that, lol. But it kept me awake for most of the drive and I made it home in my car. Now my dad's car is at the mall and we'll have to go get it today. Musical cars!

Oh, some random pics I took from the parking structure (I was parked on the 9th level), and then night time fog while I was waiting for Sarah.







I think I posted all of the good pictures, but they're all here if you want to browse (gen rocks)
