This Saturday I ended up going to a Comic Jam at a library with some friends, which is pretty much a Round Robin but with each person drawing a panel for a script and passing it to the next person... at a library. But then I ended up getting invited to go to a convention that was happening, and since I didn't have plans other than the comics, I decided to see if I could check it out for the day. Even though I ended up having to pay for a pass for the entire weekend, I had so much fun I actually did go back on Sunday! I mostly go to conventions just to take in the atmosphere to be honest, and it was such a lively place that it was worth the admission just for that. I also managed to gather a cosplay together and took part in a cosplay deathmatch, and ended up farther along than I thought I would!

So to summarize, I had a pretty good weekend and I hope that I'll be able to go again next year.

I AM THE SLAYER OF TURRETS. NO TURRET SHALL BE SPARED MY WRATH.

I'm happy because 9 years ago I was suicidal and struggling to find reasons to wake up in the morning, so I created this thread.

9 years later, I am still alive to post here. Realizing it's been 9 years (holy crap) of finding reasons to be happy, its itself a huge bliss.


Time y'all

It fugits.

I too am much happier than I was 9 years ago. That's a pretty happy thought all on it's own.

I was just fired by the director of a Come to Weihai commercial for being "too handsome" with hair "too luxurious," to play a geeky foreigner who lives in China.

I'm so proud of my students!

One of my students just came out to me, and announced to me her new relationship, which is sweet enough, but she did so roundabout, beginning by telling me about Utena (which she was surprised existed in America), then showing me the commissioned SKU-style rings her girlfriend had commissioned for both of them just before they graduated high school, so that they could remember, at different colleges, in different cities, that they are still together and will be together.

Today I graduated from high school! On to greener pastures, at long last.

Rock on, you! Congratulations, Atropos!

Flying back to America today! U! S! A! U! S! A!

1. Rechecking all the old sites I haven't visited in a long time. (Like here! Hi guys!!)

2. Reaching over a year in my gas station job and finally getting a well-deserved week of vacation! If I could go somewhere for that vacation it'd be great, but I'll just stick with having two birthdays to plan for instead.

Stephen King posting that The Dark Tower movie will finally become a reality makes me happy. 8)

They are casting Idris Elba as Roland and Mathew McConaughey as the Man in Black. This confused me for a bit before I thought about it. I looked up Idris and found out he's the gatekeeper dude from Thor. And that sold me on him as Roland. Kind of ageless, immovable, stoic type who would just keep on going even after the world has moved on. His voice is hot. I honestly think if they cast a white dude the temptation to get a Clint Eastwood clone would have been too high and I don't think that would have worked. As for McConaughey, the Man in Black is a trickster, he's always grinning, laughing, taunting. He's perfect for the role. I JUST WANT THE FIRST THREE BOOKS OK I WANT TO SEE EDDIE AND I WANT TO SEE BLANE THE MONO I WILL BE A GOOD GIRL FOR CHRISTMAS PLZ SANTA GRANT ME MY WISH
