Hello hello!
Wow, I haven't posted since I came back from London. Twitter's more convenient, less time consuming, I guess. But I've been sooo busy since then, and still am, and oh my god I REALLY want this year to be over!

Anyway! Let me tell you about London/HalloWhedon, now it's still somewhat fresh in my memory. My sister (Suzy), a friend of hers (Gaby) and me (hi!) went off to London for three days, to go and attend HalloWhedon, a convention in celebration of Halloween and Joss Whedon's series. Suzy and I were particularly excited by the idea of having a Firefly guest there. However, there were Buffy/Angel guests only: James Marsters, Nicholas Brendon, Mercedes McNab, Harry Groener, Mark Lutz and James Leary. When Harry Groener canceled, Suzy and I had the faint hope of him being replaced by a Firefly guest, but no, unfortunately.

When we arrived in London and after dumping our bags at the hotel first, we went out to find the Abercrombie & Fitch store in order to find a present for our younger stepsister, who's obsessed with anything with a brand on it. XD However, we totally didn't expect spending three hours to find it, then having to queue in order to get in, then fucking loud music inside, a totally crowded store that would almost get you claustrophobic, and seriously...the shirt we wanted to buy was under a glass case. Like it was some fucking piece of jewelry! Then we could wait another two hours in the line to pay. I mean, there were like 20 employees wandering around, just standing there looking hot (or dancing =S) but... there were just two registers!? When we got out, if it were possible, I would have hugged the fresh air!
I had wanted to do some shopping for myself aswell, but A&F was WAY too expensive, and we had to catch the tube to get to the convention, as there were guest talks.

The convention was located at the Thistle hotel, and it costed us another eight pounds to get there by bus. When we arrived, I wasn't really impressed. The dealer room was, to say it lightly, dissappointing.
As was the merchandise. We did find the Firefly dvd for 20 pounds, which did cheer me up, but oh dear, the rest of the stands... There was even one stand selling PHOTOGRAPHS. Photographs you could easily print off yourself. Some were rare, but still. I guess I see what they were thinking, as there were autograph sessions ofcourse and the photo's we've gotten for free weren't exactly the most beautiful or flattering.
Anyway, the guest talks. The guests were AWESOME. Funny and very sweet to the fans. But, I could hardly see a thing because, ofcourse we had the cheapest tickets so we had to sit in the back. I can't remember exactly what happened/was said that night, but it was quite short, so afterwards we trotted back to the hotel again. I believe there was a party, but our hotel was three hours away so it didn't seem such a good idea.

The next day there were photoshoots and signings. I think we went to Nick's signing first. And he's a total diva! With his sunglasses and hat, lol. I wouldn't say arrogant though, but then again my standards aren't that high after meeting Natasha Hamilton once *sigh*. He signed with: "Angie, olé!" and then his name. I think we went to Mark next. He's awesome, aswell. He asked Gaby why she didn't write her name with two B's. She replied with: "Why would I?" He proceeded to sign Suzy's autograph with "Marrk Luttz" XD
Then we went into the dealerroom for a bit, and all I bought was a comic for Liz and something small for Marjorie, as they even had Supernatural stuff! (There was one whole stand with Twilight shirts =/)
Then, I think, there were more guest talks which were awesome. Nick did the snoopy dance. And James, bless him, got a bit too much carried away in his story and accidently stamped his foot! And as you might know, he had an accident on the Torchwood set and hurt his back (he signed laying on two tables!).
And then he looked so pain, you could hear everyone holding their breath. Luckily he was okay and he continued talking. Props for that man, so loyal to his fans, awesome.
Mercedes, by the way, is way to gorgeous! She was on stage with Nick and they were kind of dissing each other. She told us how someone let her sign a picture of her dad. WTF?! Okay, he's famous, but hello?

Next day, we had the Mercedes signing and again wow she is too gorgeous. She was really nice! Nothing noteworthy though... James Leary got sick and would be back later, but Suzy and I didn't have any patience (his picture was ugly anyway, him in Clem-costume: Hello, he's gorgeous, just give us a normal pic?) but Gaby went back later.
Then, James Marsters, my oh my....He was so sweet! Gaby gave him a Get Well card and he thanked her so genuinely! And he said "Hello there, how are you?" to Suzy in such a deep porn voice I could have died. Very very nice man, gorgeous aswell! No wonder I used to have such a crush on him when I was younger, haha.
That evening there was an auction and people really pay ridiculous amounts of money for just an autograph =X and somebody actually paid 900 pounds to have dinner with James. Ninehundred. I've never actually had that amount of money all at once!

All in all, it was nice, but I don't think it was worth all the money I (we) forked over. Oh, it really sounds like I'm dissing the whole HalloWhedon thing, but honestly I'm not.
The crew was ever so nice and the whole thing was so cleverly set up! You didn't have to wait very long to get your autograph, and there was no pushing and screaming or anything. That was good.
I guess it's just not my thing, feeling like a fangirl the whole time. And we just kinda made a mistake with the hotel. We insisted on staying at the Green Man, where we always go to, but it was just too far away.
I will go next year, though. Why? They guaranteed a Firefly guest AND Anthony Stewart Head will be coming! And we'll just stay one extra day longer, so we can do some shopping for ourselves aswell.
Although for some reasons it just feels weird to me to pay to take a picture with someone, just because they are a celebrity. I mean, they are a person too! I know it's not that weird but... I don't know. But I *do* want a picture with Anthony, for some reason. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait and see!

Geesh this story got extremely long! If anyone actually read this they deserve a cookie. Well at least I can read it back later myself. I actually had more to say but I guess I'll leave it at this.

Hmm, it's been 4 weeks since my last entry. And I promised myself to blog more regularly! Oh well. How is everyone doing? I've just had autumn break and proscinated like hell, so I'm doing some last minute homework now (well obviously not NOW since I'm blogging). Have to do an interview with my dad for Civics about when he was 20. That should get interesting, LOL. And I still have to read 60 more pages of 1984, and finish the Cosette-part of Les Miserables. In FRENCH! I can't do that! Merde...

Anyway, I'm leaving for London in a few days to go to HalloWhedon! YAY!
I'll be seeing James Marsters like, in person! (...on a stage, anyway.)
And I'll be going to the Abercrombie and Fitch shop. I wrote down the adress, I hope we can find it XD

Also, I almost finished watching Heroes season 3. I think we have another disk or two left. Oh my God, I can't believe how evil Sylar is! And he was progressing so good, lol.

Well, I'd better finish the rest of my homework now. I wonder if I can keep up this blogging...

Jayne: Testing. Testing, Captain, can you hear me?
Mal: I'm standing right here.
Jayne: You're coming through good and loud.
Mal: 'Cause I'm standing right here.

You gotta love Firefly.

I got tagged! rulenumber7 tagged me and gave me the character Parker of Leverage! Also, got tagged back by edge_of_hate with the character of Jayne Cobb, of Firefly!

01. Do you like this character?
Yes! She's crazy fun.

02. What name/s do you call this character?
Parker, and Geveltoerist (that's kind of an inside joke with rulenumber7 XD)

03. What image/color do you associate with the character?
Black! She has to wear black to go out stealing.

04. What image/song do you associate with this character?
Hm, I haven't associated one, yet... I'm gonna think about that one!

05. What blood-type do you think this character is?
WTH? What kind of question is this? Uhm, well let's just go with the Japanese theory that your bloodtype goes with your personality. In Parker's case, I guess type B. She's wild and active.

06. Of all of the titles that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?
What and oddly phrased question. But, Hardison seems like the only potential love interest for her. If I had to cross her over with a different series, I would say Julian Sark from Alias. Why? Helllooo, Sarker!

07. What would you want to say to this character?
If I would know her in real life, I'd honestly wouldn't know how to talk to her... I guess I'd ask her if she wanted to learn me how to jump of a building! (secured tight, please)

08. What do you want to do with this character?
As said in 7...Jump of a building XD

09. Please choose 5 friends with your choice of character:
Some of them Marjorie tagged too, and I'm not sure if everyone likes to do memes, so... I'm doing this randomly, don't feel obliged :'D
sparkling_chan- Kate Austen
j_oyce- Sydney Bristow
rulenumber7- Eliot Spencer! (YES, I'm tagging you back with someone predictable XD)
edge_of_hate- Malcolm Reynolds
-cruzh - Chris Keller

I got tagged back by edge_of_hate, this time the character Jayne Cobb!

01. Do you like this character?
Yes! It took a while, because he hates Simon and River so much, but c'mon it's a wonderful character! He's so funny.

02. What name/s do you call this character?
Only Jayne, actually...

03. What image/color do you associate with the character?
Orange! Like his orange hat. ("How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tcha think?")

04. What image/song do you associate with this character?
The Hero of Canton, ofcourse!

05. What blood-type do you think this character is?
Again, with the Japanese theory that your bloodtype goes with your personality. Jayne would be, much like Parker, I guess type B. He's wild and active, too. And irresponsible and selfish...

06. Of all of the titles that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?
I think he would be hilarious with YoSafBridge :'D Some people like Jayne/River, but, nah...

07. What would you want to say to this character?
I'd say that he has to realise that the rest of his crew is in fact is family and you shouldn't betray family!

08. What do you want to do with this character?
Have him roll around in the mud with Simon and Mal... *gets a nice visual picture in her mind* XD

RIP Andy Hallett

I still can't believe he passed away. He was still so young!
I absolutely loved him on Angel - Lorne was such a joy.
Andy was a very talented person, and he will be missed!

For the people who don't know him: he played, among other things, The Host, Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan, Lorne for short, on the Angel series. He was a very comical character with a fantastic singing voice.

Andy Hallett died of heart failure last night at age 33, according to his longtime agent and friend Pat Brady. The actor passed away at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles after a five-year battle with heart disease, with his father Dave Hallett by his side.

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a
great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be
sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

(Oh, does this mean I can have Carlisle? XD)

So two things! First is:
I'm off to vacay in Spain for a few days! Go ahead and miss me =)
Second.....I've got baby guinea pigs!
I wasn't expecting it at all anymore..Till this morning, I wanted to pick Maggie (the mother) up from her cage to clean it and then suddenly something small, black and furry ran across my hand!
And then I lifted up the little house Maggie always hides in, and found another two! One white, the other white, black and brown <3 There's a pic and their names under the cut!

From left to right; mother Maggie, Drusilla, Appel & Bla-something (my sister likes Irish Gaelic names.....I'll just call it Bla)
