Abandon thought and let the dream descend

( songs )

I have been sick since last Wednesday and it SUCKS, man. Missed school/work on Thursday and Friday, missed half my work shift yesterday and school today, but am pushing through my work shift right now. I also got Jeremy sick, so today we sat on the couch together and sneezed and coughed and cuddled. Were were pathetic, but also kind of adorable.

I'm excited to get un-sick, though, cuz I have an exciting month ahead! I have almost weekly movie dates with my dearest Nicole to see a host of chick flicks, gonna see Wolfman and the Gurren Lagann movies (!!!) with Miss Julia, going to a super happening coworker bday party this Friday (I expect Edward Cullen and Ke$ha to be involved, so you know that's going to be good), and a museum/dinner/purikura date in the city for Valentine's Day! Me, an actual date, on Valentine's Day! I might even get flowers! (Plz note that Joel hated all holidays, dates, and flowers).

I told Jeremy he was a good boyfriend!! because he wanted to go out with me and he was just like, lol, that is what boyfriends are supposed to do, spend time with their girlfriends. I was just like not in my experience...*snuggles* <33

I feel kind of obnoxious, I have been living in a ridiculous lovebubble for like a full WEEK now. I'm just so happy and honeymoon-y and it's been so long since I've been happy about a boy with no strings attached.

Jeremy came to visit me for three whole days! It was lovely. I took him to my favorite Santa Maria restaraunts and he met my family and he loves Miss Tia! We didn't do a whole lot aside from eat, watch movies, snuggle, and talk, but a) that's all there is to do in SM and b) those are the things I like to do anyway. We watched Jennifer's Body! GO BUY IT, CAME OUT YESTERDAY. I <3 that movie and Jeremy even said it wasn't that bad, cuz he thought it wouldn't be awful and it wasn't, it's AWESOME. Or okay, but I think AWESOME.

Saw Avatar today. I liked it, visually sutnning, blah blah. Mostly I just hated the military jerk guy, hated mankind for what we do to native populations and the Earth, and want to live on a planet that glowwwwwwws. So cool. Jeremy says raves are kinda like that. Maybe I should go to a rave?

I was gonna go back to SC for New Year's, but I think I'm gonna chillax here instead. This break has been pretty fun, but really rather busy and I kinda just want to lock myself in my room and read and marathon anime with my brother.

Speaking of anime marathons! We need a series to marathon for New Year's! Something we can finish in like a day or two, so one season shows are best. Any recommendations?

Back from comic-con. Camera died on the first day and thus have only a few pics which are on my cell phone and thus low quality and to be uploaded at a later date.

Saw:

Up close: Juliet from Lost, Elijah Wood (!), Kevin Sorbo, Hurley from Lost, Jayne from Firefly, Lou Ferrigno.

Fairly Close: DAVID TENNAT OMFGGGGG, Kevin Smith.

Far Away: Johnny Depp, Mila Kunis, Tim Burton, Joss Whedon, Eliza Dukshu, bunch of other famous people, who cares.

Footage/trailers: Alice in Wonderland, Iron Man 2, Doctor Who, Dollhouse, that's all I can remember.

Didn't see: Avatar footage, Amanda Palmer, Twilight. :(((( (basically my Thursday SUCKED)

It was fun overall, but I'm not sure I'm willing to pony up the $20 increase and shell out $100 for next year. It doesn't even really feel like a geek event anymore, it's mostly people who want to see new movies and famous people. The comic geeks are still there, but it's like comic geeks and then normals, with a few of us general geek stragglers in between. Also, omgwtf wayyyyy too crowded. It's gone from you should show up an hour early for a panel to you NEED to show up 2 hours early or you're not getting in. And forget about panels in the smaller, semi-popular rooms. Those are impossible.

...the hot girl at my work just felt it necessary to inform me that there is going to hot lesbian action on Heroes and Dollhouse next season. She is a lesbian...I think she's super hot...is she hitting on me? Wishful thinking? idk.

And just a quick update on Joel and me, if you care. We're doing...okay, we're going to work it out, but we're not great and we're not on stable ground. We're both going to try to make things better, but keep our options and plan for all eventualities. We'll see.

But I'm not miserable anymore, so that's good. :)
