Wondercon Win
Wondercon was utterly amazing. It just gets better and better every year, especially since we now have entire groups that match. I cannot express how much I love my friends. The experiences are made possible through THEM (I sound like a commercial). I know I'm going to be so incredibly sad when the diaspora inevitably occurs, but god, these memories I'm going to ~cherish~ forever. *~*~♥sparklieeeees~*~*♥
Seriously though, life just doesn't get any better than this. I love you guys.
Highlights:
+ Meeting Mark Hamill on Friday and listening to him chatter maniacally about Canada and pot and Avatar
+ Prior to meeting Mark Hamill, he saw us standing in line and motioned for others to move so he could get a good look at me and Anna
+ Confusing Jim Lee by asking him to sign my katana, which he did!
+ Meeting Adam West on Saturday, who said "Catwomaaan!" in THAT tone of voice exactly.
+ Group shots from Bui Photography are epic glory
+ Taking off Anna's Canary eyelashes with my whip! I didn't notice her behind me as I cracked it at an Indiana Jones, and all of the sudden she's clutching her face and the onlookers are horrified, thinking I took out her eye! Turns out I just popped her right on the eyelashes, enough to sting a little but nothing else. PHEW. And then...AWESOME.
+ Playing hooky from Sunday dogwork and sneaking off to the con with my Batgirl for fanboy-pleasing ♥
+ RAPTOR JESUS
