Most importantly, pictures. I stole a few from people (like Caitlin), but most are ones that no one has ever seen!

My birthday wasn't exciting, but it was nice. I was taken out to lunch for yummy Japanese food and to dinner for equally yummy, but more fattening, American food.
Last weekend was v. cramazing (to use Christina's term). Friday, Caitlin and Becca picked me up and we got a ginormous drink at the gas station, got stuck in traffic, talked to Sabrina who was driving a neighboring car, finally got to the bowling alley, and made a comic about the A-Team busting some girl out of prison as we waited for Christi, Kevin, and later Cashon, to show up. Fun was had by all.

Saturday=Hypericon. Us=The crew of Serenity from Firefly. Za picked me up and we went to McDonalds downtown to meet Christi and Caitlin before heading downtown. There was this woman passed out in the drive-thru and it was really scary because we thought she was dead at first. Found the hotel, registered, ran around for a bit, and then went to this panel about costuming on a budget. It was pretty hilarious. During the panel I realized that the only guy sitting on it was in fact my former co-worker Paul (he and his brother sell elf ears etc. at Ren Faires). We all ended up talking to him after the panel until Sarah Brown finally decided to grace us with her presence. We messed around for the rest of the day, pretty much. Met this really awesome guy who tried to recruit people to round out our Serenity crew. Ended up making friends with this awesome woman, Sara Harvey, and her boyfriend Matt who agreed to be our Kaylee and Simon. We pretty much owned the costume contest and won.
Afterwords, something happened that must be documented, despite the questionable nature of said happening. This guy comes over and talks to us about Firefly and MTAC, but it's pretty clear he's just talking to Sarah. Eventually he's kinda squatting in front of her and says he has a shoe fetish. Well, that was a little weird, but we're not strangers to weirdness, so it seemed okay, but then he asked if he could kiss Sarah's shoe. We were slightly more freaked out. Sarah asked Chris if he had a problem with this. The guy jumped back like four or five feet, like he's been roughed up for doing this sort of thing before and is all apologetic about it. Chris, seeing this as an opportunity to get a good laugh, said something like you just want to kiss her shoe, give 'em hell. So Sarah said, okay, and stuck out her foot and the guy kissed he shoe. Then he kissed it again. Then he started making out with it. Caitlin grabbed my leg, her eyes wide open, her face a mask of horror. I just looked at her, I couldn't turn around. Christi hyperventilated for a minute before jumping up equally horrified. Chris laughed a little at the beginning, but then his whole face just dropped. Elizabeth just left. Sarah was all the way back in her seat, freaking out. The guy, after a good 30 seconds, looked up and asked if Sarah was uncomfortable and she said yeah a little. Christi immediately dragged Sarah out for a smoke, the guy left, and we all ran out onto the balcony. We yelled for a while and then Sarah left to wash her shoe. Sara and Matt came to find us and we immediately related the whole story. Shortly after that, Paul burst out onto the balcony dressed as David Bowie from Labyrinth, immediately taking our minds off what had just occurred. We chatted with people for a while, went to the kinda lame dance, and then all went home.

Sunday, Sarah and I went to the closing ceremonies as Dean and Hank Venture and Chris was Brock. Got our winnings and said bye to everybody. Chris, Sarah, Elizabeth, and I fooled around in various Party Cities across the county and then went to Caitlin's house for her Venture Bros. premiere party! I glued brown pipe cleaners to my face and was the Monarch (I also had a costume, so it's not as lame as it sounds). Caitlin was Hank, Sarah was still Dean, Chris was still Brock, Valerie was Dr. Girlfriend, Becca was Triana, and Kevin was Dr. Orpheus. We went to the store, had cake, and watched season 1. After the premiere we went to Cafe Coco. One guy asked us if we were in a band, other than that, nothing. Apparently everyone who hangs out at Cafe Coco is quality television-ignorant. We had fun regardless.

The work week was SLOW. Our boss came back fro Germany right around the same time Rose did. I saw her the day she got back and she, Christi, Blake, and I watched Harvey, which was awesome.

Saturday, as in yesterday, I met up with Rose, Kevin, Bryan, and Cashon at Green Hills and we saw An Inconvenient Truth, which was really scary, amazing, and makes me want to do something to make things better. Go see that movie regardless of your political affiliation, it's really informative. We went to the park to hang out, eat foods, and smoke a tiny hookah (Jonathan was none too happy about that). Kevin, Cashon, and I went to Taco Bell and were generally really silly. Nate came to hang out with us just before Rose and Bryan went to Dark Side of the Rainbow. Minus those two, we hung out in the park for a while, I fell down and hurt my knee rather badly before we met Chris at Coco and hung out there for a while. For lack of anything better to do, we went to Hustler Hollywood and looked at things for a long while. Andrew called and was adorable and silly. Back to Coco, sat on the sidewalk forever making plans, then to Waffle House at 2am, where Bryan came to hang out with us for a while. Walgreen's for cheap cigars, then to my house to smoke said cigars, and sit in the drive way and talk. Chris taught us things about drugs. It was funny. Everyone headed home around 4:30ish.

This entry is really long and stuff. Damn. So anyone up for fun on the 4th?
