My third convention experience would have to rank at the bottom of the list so far. I was expecting it to be awesome- and you know, it kinda was, just because it’s not everyday you meet Chris Judge- but there is just one recommendation I hope the organizers will implement to make the next con a million times better.

RESTRICT THE AMOUNT OF FRAKKING ALCOHOL YOU GIVE THE GUESTS.

Because seriously. Chris Judge was smashed. He was so drunk it wasn’t funny. Well, no, it started off funny and then it was just taxing. Every word he spoke was punctuated by a gulp of Scotch. Ask him a question? More Scotch before, during and after his answer. I had a serious question to ask him about the show but I shelved it because the atmosphere of the evening was decidedly…seedy.

It was bodily functions here, sexual innuendo, strike that, sexual explicitness there, and the lowest point was when this woman ran up to the stage and pulled up his shirt to stroke his interestingly tattooed stomach. Oookay. I wonder if she’ll watch the dvd of it later and cringe at her actions. I swear, everyone else in the audience was cringing for her.

Scotty, who runs these events, is still being irritatingly close-mouthed about the huge actor they’re negotiating with for the next con- all bets are still on RDA, but I’m hoping it’s not next month like they hinted because GODS, I won’t be allowed for sure and it will kill me if I can’t see him. Disgusting on-set competitions or not, dude, I can’t miss RDA! The only concrete info I have is that the next Armageddon expo will be at the end of the year with David Hewlett and Andee, the wraith queen! *dances*

My old wish list of actors I most want to meet had Torri at the top…and of course, she’s still up there, I’m not that fickle with my heart. But she’s tied with Mary McDonnell now! Scotty’s a BSG fan, so my fingers are crossed that maybe he’ll make it happen. *flails* I would just DIE of fangirly glee if I ever had the chance to meet the two of them!

Okay, that covers the important things, I guess…

Life.
 
I’m sooo panicky.
 
God, I hate job applications. That feeling of putting yourself under a microscope and your worth being measured by a mysterious and infinitely intimidating entity? The thought that if you miss out, you completely suck at life and you’re only fit for scrubbing off muck in bathroom stalls at public high school gyms? The tremors as your spine liquefies and you puddle into this sticky, shapeless, gooey mess of rejected gunk on the floor?
  
 
--------------------

Tip of the day:
Do not donate blood in the morning and fail to eat for the rest of the day. It doesn’t feel too good. Especially when you deliver newspapers in the afternoon.
 
 
Love.
 
Well, I was feeling distinctly ill-tempered at being roused at the shocking hour of 8:30 this morning. Katherine (the neglectful friend) decided she may as well combine her errands and time with me- two birds with one stone, so to speak- and kindly informed me she’d be at my place within five minutes and we were going to town.
 

--------------------

Oh, I picked up the most awesome book- An Accidental Goddess, by Linnea Sinclair. 


--------------------

That time of year again. 
 I hate Valentine’s Day. It's seriously depressing.

Future.
 
OMG, so excited right now. Hopefully, I’m praying, mama won’t be stubborn and she will see reason and let me go to Melbourne with Katherine to see Christopher Judge! He’s pretty expensive, considering it was only $15 to see JF, but ah heck, I want to meet everyone I possibly can, and it’s his first ever con in Melbourne.
 
 --------------------
The more awesome thing? Beaver, the dude from the sci-fi store in town [Gifts for the Geek!], was talking up some huge event in May. Apparently Teryl’s booked for it and this news caused me to squee in an utterly geekish way, because dude, Janet is awesome. No doctor that succeeded her in SG-1 ever matched her warmth and charisma. Not even close. Lam was this bitter ex-wife stereotype trapped in the body of an estranged daughter...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
 
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...the others were just indistinguishable blurs.
 
But wonderful as Teryl is, she wasn’t the big news. Beaver wouldn’t confirm or deny rumors of which actor was coming, but if all goes as planned *crosses fingers* one of the original SG-1 actors will be coming.
 
What exciting times. ;)
