I am a Russian Slut Spy... Nymphadora Tonks says so...
So! Time for more Con shenanigans! *snort* This time I went with my brother - his first con, bless him! - so I had thought it would be a little um... less embarrassing and lewd as they normally are with me. You can probably tell by the subject that that wasn't the case. *snort*
Right, we went on the Friday, which was amusing if only because my brother has never been on a train except when we were four and seven (and he somehow lost his chewing gum and it was found in his belly-button... my brother; mad skills) so he was completely lost and clingy given he would have to meet me at Birmingham New Street. Now, if anyone's been to BHM, then you know it's not the best train station to have to go to on your first train journey... *cackles* Lucky for my brother, he was meeting someone with rainbow hair and who could probably make her way around BHM with her eyes shut. Of course, it was amusing when my mother, the day before was all 'now, look after your brother! Make sure you don't lose him...' and every other cliche a mother can do, and made more amusing when the woman at the checkout said 'aw, are you taking your brother out for the day?' clearly thinking I was taking my younger brother out. She looked a little startled when I blankly told her that my 'little' brother was 28 and three years older than me. *snort*
Still, we did get to Milton Keynes without much trouble (alright, so I may have told Zac that our stop was coming up when it blatantly wash't... then cackled when he panicked as we pulled out of said station... *grins*) and without any bloodshed! Hey, that's something positive for us. *snort*
So we got to the hotel, and then decided to head over to the Dons Stadium to have a glance around the dealers room and buy any photo ops we wanted. Whilst there, I totally caved and bought the photo op with the five doctors (Tom Baker(Four), Peter Davison(Five), Colin Baker(Six), Sylvester McCoy(Seven) and Paul McGann(Eight)). I also bought a photo op with Karen Gillan and one with Jason Momoa... and burst into laughter when the woman serving us called him Jason Momosa. *snort*
Whilst there, my brother turned into a complete spaz when he rubbed necked as we passed the tent Jason Momoa was in (and promptly begged me not to let him growl at Jason in his photo op... I think he was possessed by a fourteen year old girl) and walked into a Storm Trooper (clearly a family trait), then solidified my theory of him being possessed by a teenage girl (or a deranged dolphin) when he made strange high-pitched noises when we passed Kenny Baker (R2D2) and Dave Prowse (Darth Vader)... *snickers* I promptly walked off and became far too interested in a TARDIS teapot... It was kinda cool.
Right, so that happened. I finally dragged Zac out of the stadium and back to the hotel, where he promptly burst into giggles when he pointed out that the lift was made by Schindler and I said that made it Schindler's Lift... *snort* Simple things and all that. He then promptly passed out because he'd stupidly worked nights the night before and actually hadn't had any sleep.
So on to the Saturday. Where it took a distressingly long conversation before Zac finally understood why I couldn't have butter croissants ("I'm allergic to dairy" "Yeah, but you can eat pastry right?" "No, but also not the point. Butter croissants, Zac." "No pastry?" "Fucks sake *slams head into table*"). We finally got to the Dons Stadium once again ("just how many roundabouts does Milton Keynes have?" "Dunno, I feel dizzy though...") and Zac promptly made disturbing noises over a replica of Cloud's sword in FFVII... And fell over R2D2 when Lena Headey passed him. Actually, that was quite amusing and I had to lean on Boba Fett I was laughing so hard.
Ah, the weird, yet totally plausible sentences you get to say when talking about cons
After extracting Zac from R2D2, then walking into Predator (literally) which Zac had to take a photo of, I dragged Zac to where Finn Jones (Lora Tyrell) was signing, sitting next to Josef Altin. Wherein I then had a conversation with Josef to explain why I wasn't getting his autograph (because I already had it) and then forgetting completely that I'd paid for an autograph with Finn as we started talking about ThroneCon... Finn eventually asked me if I wanted his autograph... *snickers*
Then I dragged Zac to Lena Headey and Jason Momoa's tent to get their autograph, and seriously wondered if Zac was going to have some sort of aneurysm. Seriously, he put Dean's fanboying over Dr Sexy to shame. Zac made strange whimper, high-pitched noises behind me as I talked to Jason (he liked my hair, I liked his... we swapped tips... *snort*). By this point? I was kinda concerned about how he would get through his photo op with Jason without either passing out or getting arrested for molesting the poor guy...
My first photo op of the day was with the five doctors... now, if anyone knows me, then they know I love Tom Baker because the Fourth Doctor was the doctor that my mum introduced me to Dr Who with... And because he's awesome. And also, I love Paul McGann because of Withnail and I... and because i kinda had a crush on him when I was eight or something... So understandably, I was quite excited about this. And when I got there, I promptly made a dick of myself by looking baffled as to where to stand and having to have Paul McGann have to point out the cross on the floor that I was supposed to stand on... wherein I grinned sheepishly at him then laughed when Tom Baker said he liked my scarf better than his on the show... which meant my eyes were shut in the photo... balls. So... Tada:
Then it was straight into my photo op with Karen Gillan, where I may have had more chance to talk to her than anyone else because a kid decided to choose my photo op to have a fit and distract the photographer. Which was kinda awesome. *grins* She was really nice! Though seemed shocked when I asked her how she was... *snort* Does no one else ask her that?
And the final photo op of the day was with Jason Momoa! Yay! He's so, so very hot! And really tall... though who isn't in terms to me? *snickers* He looks a lot more baby-faced in person though... I think the guy-liner ages him... Lol.
Ain't he pretty? Mmm.
Admittedly, by this point I had pretty much no money... I had just enough to get the autograph of Natalia Tena the next day, but that was it. Though it didn't stop me or Zac from spending far too much time in the dealers room. *snickers* And we also just took loads of random ass photos of the people cosplaying, including some with Zac in... well I was in some as well, but those ones are on Zac's phone... I did get Zac arrested though:
Told him not to be a spaz
So anyway, nothing much exciting happened on the Saturday, so onto the Sunday! Yay! *snickers* First was the fact that Natalia Tena and Roxanne McKee were attending that day, which Zac was once more, overly excited about. I bumped into a friend there, so whilst I was chatting to him, Zac went to have a cigarette. My friend then decided he was gonna get Roxanne's autograph again so we wandered to her table and she recognised us from ThroneCon, so we were talking to her for a while about that. Zac came back during that and stood to the side quietly, just saying hi when Roxanne looked at him with a smile. As we walked away though, I burst into laughter when Zac elbowed me and whined 'don't talk to Roxanne without me!'... *cackles* So amusing. All three of us then went to get Natalia Tena's autograph, where I will finally explain the above subject line... *grins*
Right, so we walked up to Natalia's table and because it's a theme with all guests I meet, she said she loved my hair. Actually, she said 'I fucking love your hair!' because she is hilariously foul mouthed. So anyway, I hand her my box set to get signed and she asks me my name. I tell her Kita because, well, that's what everyone calls me. And she goes on about how much she loves my name, and asks me if it's short for anything. Which it is... As soon as she learnt that my name was Nikita, she actually stood up, shook my hand and said, really loudly, 'No fucking way! That is amazing! You're like a Russian slut spy with that name! I love you!' which made everyone in the queue burst into laughter whilst I'll be honest, I wasn't too sure how to react. *snort* So, should I take career advice from Natalia Tena, then I'd be a Russian slut spy... *snickers*
Sadly, I couldn't afford a photo op with her, but we did go to the Game of Thrones panel that she was in, along with Lena and Roxanne, and seriously, so very amusing. I don't think I've actually heard anyone curse quite so much in such a short time. *snickers* And then when asked what they'd want their family motto to be, Lena possibly had the best one, which was just 'Fuck'. *snort*
So yeah, not too many hilariously embarrassing stories this time (have no fear, I'm sure I can rectify that in two weeks time when I go to a Dr Who con and meet Mark Sheppard for the second time in a month... I really should have warned him about that... Huh) though given how much we were bickering and sniping at one another on the journey back, me and Zac realised that we three days was the maximum amount of time we could spend together before we wanted to kill one another. Lol. All in all it was a really good weekend! I bumped into a fair few people I normally go to cons with and am trying my hardest to work out how to sell my kidney on the black market so that I can go to the London Film and Comic Con. *grins*
Sadly, got to go to the dentist tomorrow, so my very near future is looking shitty. I know for a fact I'll need another filling, because chipped a tooth on my tongue bar when it came loose as I was eating. Safe to say, that fecking hurt!!! But the con in under two weeks is something to look forward to! Yay!
So how is everyone else? Doing alright? I've signed up for the Sabriel Mini Bang (I have no idea why... apparently I'm insane) and am trying to think up an idea to write, so if anyone has any ideas, feel free to comment with them! *nods* I'm thinking maybe a sequel to Dirty Tricks, so if there's anything from that verse that you'd like to see, just say! Heh. I'm kinda stuck for ideas... Hope you're all well!! :D
P.S - Why the frak can't we use photo bucket photos anymore? LJ, I dislike the new scrapbook crap... *grumbles*
