So [livejournal.com profile] lynxgriffin and I had fun. A whole lot of fun. 8D

There is much, much more to come.
SO MUCH STUFF HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST WEEKS I DON'T EVEN.

I've been really, really busy, and I really should've been updating this journal consistently, but I'm a lazy bum and you all know that. No ponies this time - just lots and lots of text.

The Wedding! )

Disneyland! )

E3! )

In other, non-huge-event-related news, work's going smoothly - we finished one project and have another almost done, huzzah :D - I managed to find someone to make Razor Wit for $300 including shipping, RP's going well (until the mods throw another curveball at us, but hey, that happens), and I'm thinking of trundling down to Disneyland again on the 18th if anyone's interested. Also, I got a bitty!Terra drabble written for the first time in over two months - having nothing to do while your car gets new tires will definitely give you some focus.

So basically, life's pretty good. I'm okay with this. |Db
First and most importantly, Happy Mother's Day! To everyone on my flist who's been a mother or will be a mother, thank you for taking on the toughest job in existence and never let anyone tell you it's not a wonderful thing to do. To everyone out there who has a mother, take some time to do something special for her today, or at least say thanks. You would quite literally not be here without her, you know. ♥

I live in a different state, so I'm calling my mom in a bit. With any luck, she got my card already. |Db

I went to go see Thor on Friday night. It was an opening night crowd, which means it was loud and appreciative (and at some points hilariously profane) and I loved the hell out of it.

As for the movie itself, Spoilers for Thor abound! )

Non-spoilery long story short: Did it measure up to previous Marvel movies? Yes. Was it fun to watch? Yes. Am I going to see this a few more times in theaters and wind up owning it? Most likely and definitely yes. Basically, A++, Will Watch Again.

On a relatively related note, does anybody know if the Spider-Man reboot is going to feed into the Avengers movie at all? Because that would be fun, I think.

On a completely different but still fun note, my birthday is in nine days! I'll be turning 23, which isn't really a landmark but is still a reason to celebrate. I believe in parties (not quite up to Pinkie Pie standards, but still), and so I'm having two of them!

The first is on Sunday the 15th, and it's Disneyland day! Come to Disneyland, we'll hang out and ride rides and go see Fantasmic and it will be all sorts of fun. :Db

The second is on Tuesday the 17th, my actual birthday, and it's dinner at Gyu-Kaku! I have a weakness for Japanese BBQ, obviously. |D Dinner's at 7:30, so let me know if you're going and I'll make reservations.

And yes, if you can see this entry, you're invited. XD

And because I know some people want a list in regards to gifts, I have a relatively short one:

- Tron: Legacy Marquee pin (Ebay is my friend)
- Membership to Teavana's Tea of the Month club (pie in the sky, but nonetheless XD)
- Tron on DVD
- Gift Cards: Teavana, Disney, Godiva, Gyu-Kaku, White House Black Market, Brighton, Albertsons/Ralphs/Vons, or just about anywhere else I frequent.
- Fic, arts, fun artsy stuff - you guys know my fandoms and my pairings and what I like

Though really, I'd really rather hang out with you guys than receive stuff. Y'all are the best present I could have. ♥

As a closing note: Glee's doing "Friday" for their next episode; there's a new clip of At World's End released; and this absolutely made my morning.

And with that, I am off to see African Cats in a few hours. Good times, guys. Good times.

Second Place: Audience Favorite, Drama Category - Anime Los Angeles 2011
Winner: Judges' Choice, Drama Category - Anime Los Angeles 2011

The AMV that won best in show was also in Drama, so I wasn't expecting much. I was surprised when they told me I came in second for audience choice. I started crying when they said I was judges' top choice for drama.

Other creators kept telling me they liked my video and that they voted for it.

One of the creators in the Pro category told me I should enter my video in the AX contest - pretty much the AMV big leagues.

During the replay, after my video ended, one person in the room spoke up: "Okay, who else needs a tissue?"

I MADE THIS OVER THE SPAN OF ONE WEEKEND IN MOVIE MAKER. MOVIE MAKER. WHAT IS THIS. I DON'T EVEN.

So I was a laughing, blushing wreck for much of the awards ceremony (such as it was) and after the contest, well into dinner. [livejournal.com profile] lynxgriffin and [livejournal.com profile] ghettopeach have the patience of saints for putting up with me there as well as all the live-long day. XD My prize? A certificate, a bit of publicity, bragging rights, and a paid weekend pass to next year's ALA - where, hopefully, I'll have another video entered.

I will have a con report with pictures, as well as something about Just How Crazy My Life Has Been Lately, up tomorrow. For now, I'm going to bask in this unexpected, relatively minor, yet highly cherished victory, and then go to bed. Today has been long, but tons of fun and well worth it.

And here I am, tearing up again. Go me. XD;;;

OH MAN THIS MOVIE COULD NOT BE BETTER IF IT TRIED

Cut for spoilery babbling and quoting )

Incidentally, the best way to get a group of immature twenty-something-year-old males to quit yelling "PENIS" in a theater is to loudly ask them if they've lost theirs.

Yes, I know this through experience.

It's been a great night.
And nothing of value was lost.

Lawled like a madwoman at that macro, though. So much love for the illustrious mods of that comm. ♥
