Gallifrey was awesome~

I have no idea when I'll have a full update, tbh. Tomorrow promises to be busy with Disneyworld prep, and I have a lot of pictures and videos to upload. Good times. :Db

I can, however, give you a bulleted list!

SMART THINGS I DID:

- Met Shannon
- Decided not to camp in the Masquerade line
- Tried the con cocktail
- Demo'd the new Doctor Who RPG (tabletop, woo!)
- Went to the Art Show
- Networked!
- Got autograph tickets
- The Dreamland commentary
- Remembered to bring Sharpies with me everywhere
- Remembered my Adipose
- Remembered my camera, fully charged
- Used my camera a metric ton
- Popped into the Liars Panel
- Popped into the 70 Years of Marvel Panel
- Got a flipton of autographs
- Had fun!

DUMB THINGS I DID:

- Slept in on Saturday
- Split up with my friends for a good deal of Saturday
- Failed to get driving directions
- Forgot both pajamas and a toothbrush
- Got the Doctor eaten by a large plant
- The pocket watch fiasco
- /looks at bank account and just sobs

STUFF I GOT (Read: the reason I'm sobbing at my bank account):

- Pins: "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock;" "I am not a twitard;" "You're not mating with me, sunshine!"
- The aforementioned Doctor Who tabletop game
- A matching set of dragons with dice prints that shall be framed and hung
- The Fugitive: the first six issues of the ongoing Doctor Who comic written by the fantastic [livejournal.com profile] mrtonylee and gathered together in convenient prereleased book format
- Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf
- A TARDIS phone charm for [livejournal.com profile] orelle_peredhil - that was as close as they got to a keychain I HOPE THIS IS ACCEPTABLE
- A flipton of autographs, to include one by a Mister Paul Cornell for one [livejournal.com profile] ormery - It's on notebook paper because that's all I had at the time I HOPE THIS TOO IS ACCEPTABLE
- Another metric flipton of pictures and video
- ...a pocket watch

QUOTABLE QUOTES:

- "Every time a vampire sparkles, a kitten loses its wings."
- "Matt Smith likes drawing things with wires and pipes."
- "Stick Doctor Versus Stick Men with Horns!"
- "I crashed the internet with disappointment."
- "Do I have to call Hayley? Because I will call Hayley."

Those are just the quotes I can remember. Three are from Tony, one from his editor, and one from Shannon. I know my roomie and little had some awesome quotes but I just cannot remember them. |D And yes, there's a story behind most if not all of this.

By the way, all the Whovians on my flist? We are totally holding Skype sessions to do this RPG. It is hilarious and awesome. :Db

WHERE ARE ALL MY DOCTOR WHO ICONS? THIS MUST BE FIXED!
Been a long few days, huh. Hey, Flist, ILU all ♥

Disneyland with [livejournal.com profile] lynxgriffin on Monday was a blast~ We got there late, owing to a bit of a late start (because I didn't call off work, haha) and abnormally terrible traffic, but we definitely made a good day of it. The French Corner or French Kitchen or whatever it's called next to Pirates is actually a really good restaurant, so eating in the park more often is definitely a go. Despite a few rides being closed (Matterhorn ;~;) we did quite a bit. Favorite part of the day was in the Haunted Mansion - standing in the ROOM WITH NO WINDOWS AND NO DOORS, MWAHAHAHA, I wound up with a small frightened child holding my hand. Of course, once the lights came back up and she realized she wasn't hanging on to her mom like she'd thought, she was pretty embarrassed and her family will likely never let her live it down, but I thought it was cute.

Also, did anyone know there's a giant arts place near the front entrance? It's got all sorts of concept art for rides and such in it. Totally going to hang out in there for a while when we go back.

Basically, YAY DISNEY 8D

In other news, I'm still not over this cold. I don't sound like the living dead anymore, but I'm still coughing up a lung fairly frequently, which is usually bad kismet. Either that, or my lungs regenerate really fast. Either way, this needs to be gone before Gallifrey.

Which is a week from tomorrow, by the way.

[/insert gigantic fangirly squee here]

I'm going with [livejournal.com profile] amorsinseramada, [livejournal.com profile] travitaemorte, and my little who obviously needs a LJ. This one looks to be an absolute blast. Plus, now I can participate in hotel bar shenanigans. Mmm, shenanigans.

On a related note, what's a polite way of asking someone to fix an autograph? I met one of the guests at Comic Con last year, and he autographed my book to "Christine." He's going to be at Gallifrey again this year, as is the book's author, whom I would also like to have sign it (he's the artist). Is there any way to do this, or is it just going to be awkward as hell no matter what?

Also, what's everyone's opinion of putting this on a shirt and wearing it to the con? Y/N/M/LOLWUT?

Thus ends yet another disjointed episode of the life and times of Kia. I'll have Tuesday's Randomizer up when Sendspace stops hating me.

And I'm just using this icon because I like it. No other reason. :D
I was going to go to bed, and then I went, hey, I should update my LJ! Surely people want to know how my day went at half past two in the morning. Who needs the extra sleep? Certainly not someone who intends to marathon half a paper the next day!

That's the part I'm going to regret, I think.

That said, I think today went alright. The interview at SodaHead went down pretty well, I think - we might have issues with hours since they seem to want someone who can come in at around the same time every day and my schedule is set up with two and a half class days and two and a half free days, so we'll see how that works out. Demonstrating online proficiency, especially proficiency with the site, and being an English major helped me out, I think. Yay writing!

So yes. We'll see how that one goes.

The Gamma Phi Christmas party tonight was fun. Real casual affair up at the G Phi house - I spent half the night on a large pink beanbag, half asleep. I was bushed. I also saw Elf for the first time, which was...definitely interesting. Also, we did a Secret Santa! ...and mine wasn't there, so I'll have to track her down on campus sometime and get her her gift. Either way, the party was fun.

I swear, my littles coordinated on Christmas gifts. One of them gave me a silver bracelet with blue beads and hearts and such on it, and the other gave me one of those glass pendants that's on a few ribbons and cords - kind of like this, but a blue and white heart and blue cords. They collaborated, and now I have to figure out the secret to wearing pendants like that.

OH YES. LYNX. We should meet on Saturday to exchange stuffs, yes?

AND. COLIN. IM me sometime and we'll chat about musical shoutouts and such other things.

Why are the Woot shirts so awesome nowadays, seriously. I can't go buying two in a row - that would not be smart. That does not make it any less waaaaaant.

First of all, today's Woot shirt is awesome. I already bought one. |D YAY COLLEGE STUDENT ANTHEM

All this crazy Gamma Phi activity over the week culminated in Initiation tonight. Can't say too much about the ceremony, but I do love my littles. Jen's package arrived just in time (read: this morning), so everyone got everything they were supposed to, and I somehow got a package from Canada faster than I got a package from Amazon. Will wonders never cease. THANK YOU JEN THEY LOVED EVERYTHING ♥

Of course, "culminated" might not be the right word, seeing as Formal is Friday night, Gamma Games meeting is Saturday, and Gamma Games itself is Sunday.

SPEAKING OF WHICH. If you're on Pepperdine campus, come to Gamma Games! We're raising money for Camp Laurel, and you get to come watch fraternity guys compete in athletic events, including sack races. Have you ever seen guys do sack races? It's hilarious. Plus, we have some pretty awesome raffle prizes, and it's all for a good cause. 11:30-2 at Alumni Park this Sunday! BE THERE. YAY. :Db

On a completely different note, I somehow wound up with only one class on Monday. Theater is individual monologue coachings, and mine isn't until after Thanksgiving. Lit Theory is individual appointments to talk about final papers, and mine's at 3, which does not require me to get up early, and then there's Choir. Stage dance is the next day, and then I'm heading home, huzzah~ YAY TURKEY AND BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING

Speaking of shopping, y'all need to tell me what you want for Christmas. I will be doing shopping then.

And I also have my wish list up - I just posted it to [livejournal.com profile] holiday_wishes (which is an awesome community that you should totally go check out), so I figured I'd throw it up here as well:

Yaaaaaaay wish list and yes I do realize this is before Thanksgiving even I just like getting a head start |D )

You can totally tell this was written with a wider, not personally known audience in mind, huh. KNOW THY AUDIENCE. HELL YEAH I'M A WRITING MAJOR.

But seriously, guys. Donate to those kids with AIDS. They're so cute and you all know summer camp is awesome~

On yet another random note, I got a great recipe yesterday. If someone's willing to take me to Ralph's real quick to pick up ingredients, I can definitely promise you a share of the Pumpkin Cheesecake this weekend. :Db
I generally go too far between serious updates - or at least updates with some modicum of content - on this journal, don't I. Good job, self. |D

Either way, you're getting one, and I warn you it is long and image heavy in spots.

First of all, because I feel like I have to say this, I've found something awesome: this guy. I know, doesn't look like something I'd listen to, right? Well, listen to his Nocturnal Sunshine podcast (you can get it free on iTunes) - every episode is an hour of steady, repetitive, easily ignorable techno best classified as upscale background noise. This is to say, I've found the best homework music ever. XD

Don't tell my brother. He actually went to see this guy when he came to Denver this summer. My brother would disown me. Then again, we only just convinced said brother to come to Hawaii with the family instead of spending New Year's with his girlfriend, whom nobody likes, so...yeah. YAY FAMILY.

Said girlfriend just tried to friend me on Facebook. That's just a whole new definition of awkward.

But yes. Other stuff. Halloween is other stuff, right?

It better be, 'cause that's what you're getting under the cut. )

Of course, then Sunday night was juuuuuust fantastic. I'm never getting the chicken salad sandwich at the Cheesecake Factory again, I can tell you that much. (I will still, however, get their cheesecake. That is not what made me ill.)

The rest of this week has basically just been recovery. We did a Randomizer show, but the recording equipment was busted and I therefore have no episode for you guys this week. Sad. :( I'm also supposed to have written a paper on Sunday night, but that did not happen. Paper is still not written and might not get written until Saturday because I am just bushed. I also have an interview with Dex tomorrow - evidently they still want me, so I'm heading out there, trying to sound intelligent, and praying this goes through because paid internships are incredibly few and far between. It would be a nice feather in my cap for next semester. Wish me some good luck for that one. |D

I LEAVE YOU WITH ONE FINAL PICTURE:



The girl in the middle? That's my little. She's dressed as Kaylee.

My little is a Browncoat (and you'd better believe we're converting her twin). I could not be more pleased. :3

Wow I really don't update this journal as often as I should, huh. How about a week's worth of stuff in one entry? |D

Cut to save your flists. Thar be pictures here )

It's been an awesome week. XD
