So, in exactly one week, I'll be moving Karen into her new place in Hazel Crest. I am just excited as hell! A little bit scared, but excited! No more having to wait months at a time to see eachother, no more depending on the phone or computer to have contact. This is huge. It also means I totally cannot fuck this up. Cuz, the girl totally MOVED from Louisiana for me. Yeah. That's dedication. I am so excited to have her here, and am looking forward to having her meet my family and the rest of my friends.

So, I'm still on the road home from dcon.

This con went by waaaaay too fast. It was full of great moments, and here are some of my favorites.

Evening at Bree and our tribute to Mel. I will always remember standing up there with some of the best friends I've ever made honoring one of the bravest people I've ever known was simply amazing. The outpouring of love for eachother and especially for Mel was staggering. We love you Mel.

Doing the goofy white saber costume and having random people yelling out "YEAH, WHITE SABER!" Throughout the weekend was awesome.

The final Colonial Fleet party. Standing on stage being an idiot and partying with about 600 of my best friends was insanely cool. We went out with a bang frakkers!

The afterparty inwhich I was able to gather the fleet and provide them with the massive amount of beer I stockpiled for them was an honor and I hope I helped make it up to those frakkers who could not get into the official party. Doing what we do best and celebrating together? Yeah. So say we all.

The roaming fleet parties were always a damn good time. It was kind of exciting never knowing where we'd be that night, but it didn't matter.

Finally, my favorite, The RohnDor party. Yeah, we got busted by the man when doug jones showed up, but god that was so great. Just riffing off eachother again was so much fun, and I will cherish that memory for the rest of my life. I love all you guys.

Aside from the always shitty cruxshadows music and generally terrible music at that con, terrible arrival and departures from the hotel, the rude handicapped, the occassional asshole, and the constant harassment by security on 10, it was epic. Thank you all for giving me a great weekend, and I'll see you next year.

Can I has Dragoncon now? Seriously. Tired of waiting, Wednesday night. Wanna get on the road.

Dragoncon hasn't even begun yet, and already I'm working on a costume for next year. Here's a hint...

So, it's been a while since I last posted about my life, so I figured I'd throw this up here.

I am incredibly lucky. Seriously, to have found the friends I have, to have been born in the family I was, and to have the girl I have, I am incredibly lucky.

The past few weekends have been pretty much all occupied with hanging out with some of the best people I know. Two weekends ago we threw a surprise party for my buddy Luis and I got to have an amazing time with my closest friends. Then last weekend, Karen came up from Louisiana to visit. I seriously could not have asked for more out of the weekend. I never thought I'd be so happy just lying around in bed watching random movies with someone. It was perfect. We even got to go out to Luis' to play a little Rock Band and I was reminded yet again how amazing he and his fiance are as people. It's rare to find a couple as silly in love as Karen and I are, and to find people who are almost twice our age feeling the same is just awesome. We've even discussed her moving up here at some point in the near future. Nothing in stone, and probably not with me right away, but she does want to move here. This past weekend, I got to go hang out with my best friend, Mike. We never really made it out of the apartment, but it was still a great time. I'm constantly reminded every time I visit why he is my best friend. I wouldn't trade anyone in my life right now for anything. I am absolutely thankful for all of you, and wish I had the time to hang out with you all more.

Just wanted to say that.

Karen and I discussed it.

"We love the Futurama voice performers and absolutely wanted to use them, but unfortunately, we could not meet their salary demands. While replacing these talented actors will be difficult, the show must go on. We are confident that we will find terrific new performers to give voice to Matt and David's brilliantly subversive characters." -Fox

Wrong. Just stop the project. It's not futurama without these actors, you idiots. The delivery, timing, and mannerisms are what make these characters great. You simply cannot do Futurama without Segal, DiMagio, and West. They really need to not bring it back if this is the case.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I GET A CON TOMORROW! WEEEEW! Stolen pics to come after, probably.
