Hello All,
I wanted to come on and apologize because I've haven't been around a lot lately and I've fallen way behind in visiting all your journals and commenting! I miss all my friends!!
I know I don't post here a lot unless something major goes on. I just don't think I'm very good with small talk and my life isn't really that exciting so I'm always afraid of boring everyone! LOL. I think I've been missing the point of this whole LJ thing! Anyway, I wanted to catch up with you all and see how everyone's summer is going so far!
Let's see. What I've been up to:
1) got my first tattoo a month or two ago. I've wanted one for years now but was always too afraid to get one. I had some wonderful friends (who I met at the first Eyecon convention) visiting me and we just went down to Greenwich Village and got it done. They were my moral support and there to block the door in case I decided to run! ;-) I'll take a picture and show it to you all. It's a sun with a small moon inside of it and three stars. The stars are for my mom, dad and grandmother who have all passed away. It's on my ankle. I'm very proud of it! In case they ever see this, thank you Kris and Janine for being there with me!!
2) I've been continuing with all my travels, as you've read about some of it here. It all started last year with my visit to Dallas to see Jensen in the play and I haven't stopped since! I would also like to thank my doctor that prescribed the valium that got my back on planes again!! :-) Just recently got back from a trip to Birmingham, AL to visit my nephew and his wife. Chris just got back from Iraq a few months ago. He flies a C31 for the Airforce Reserves. I'm very proud of him! I have always loved the South! Had a great visit! My nephew married himself a wonderful southern girl. And as she told me, and as long as I didn't talk politics or gun control, I was good!! I'm actually thinking of moving either to Birmingham or Nashville one of these days.
3) I have continued to make wonderful friends thanks to our favorite show and fandom! I cannot tell you how much that has all meant to me! I went from being an extremely shy person to someone who has managed to lose 40 pounds and become a lot more outgoing. I have met some of the most amazing people from all over the country and the world. Thanks to Supernatural and Jensen and Jared, we all have this wonderful bond!
4) Finally got my Myspace page up and running (thanks to my wonderful and incredibly talented friend, Keren!) so anyone that wants to friend me, please do!! I've actually got some of the more personal pics from Dallas up there with all the girls hanging out and such! I'm still getting the hang of that as well so bare with me.
Other than that, I've just been working to support my Supernatural habits! It's a very expensive addiction!! LOL!
For those of you going to Orlando, Chicago or LA next year, I will see you there!! For anyone lucky enough to be heading to Comic Con this month have a great time and please bring back lots of pictures and video!! ;-)
And last but not least for anyone planning a trip to NY, don't forget to look me up!!
