Comic Con

So today I printed out my confirmation pages for Comic Con. I got me excited because now it feels like it's just around the corner.

What is it about the Con that makes it so special? When you're there and you're walking the exhibit hall it seems like the outside world doesn't exist. No work, no school, no bills, no drama. Nothing but a playground for children and adults alike.

Perhaps part of the appeal of Comic Con (or any other convention at that) is there is something magical about being surrounded by thousands of people who share common interests in what you like. It's a place to meet and make new friends. Every year I know I look forward to seeing familiar faces. People who I've connected with.

So right now it's the beginning of June and as July approaches I become even more excited to see who will be there, who I might get the chance to meet, and most of all I am excited to walk the main floor for the hidden treasures I might find.

Friends

I think I finally let go of a friend today. I realize now that sometimes when people change, it isn't for the better. I'm really sad at the moment. I'm sad I lost that friend. It's like one day you know someone and the next day you can't even recognize them. You see how naive they've become and how they have put themselves on a high horse. I never give up with friends but I guess there is a first for everything. I'm tired of being the only one trying.

I am blessed however to have a group of real true friends wont change their personalities on me. I thank them. I thank them for sticking by me and for putting me in check when they think I need it and keeping me who I am. I gladly return the favor when they need to be checked. That's how we stay friends. We tell it like it is and trust them,

I can only move forward right now and I know I 'll meet more people in the future and make more friends to bring into the group. More level headed and down to earth people. People who will stay true to themselves.

To my friends who don't give up so easily: I Love You

Time

It's only been about a week and a half since school's been out and it feels like it's been a month already. Though I can probably blame that on staying up till 5 am and sleeping until 1pm the next day. Or maybe it's because there isn't a whole lot to do.

I notice that when I'm not in school I have no real sense of time. Could that possibly be from not having any assignments and I don't have to keep track of due dates. I woke up today thinking it was Tuesday for some reason. Or maybe I just wanted it to be Tuesday. Lost used to come on on Tuesdays.

I've been on the computer a lot lately. At the moment it's a good thing. It's a break from always being around people. But don't get me wrong, I love being around people and hanging out with my friends but sometimes after a few weeks I get fatigued of hanging out with people every day.

The End Is Near: LOST

It's Comic-con 2004. I stand with my mom waiting to be let into Ballroom 20 to see the cast of some new show called Lost. I'm really only there to see Dominic Monaghan from The Lord of the Rings. The doors open and people scramble for good seats towards the front. My mom and I get the third row back from the front. The big screen in front of us to our left and the panel which would be in front of us to our right.

As the host for the panel comes out to great the people we all scream and cheer for pure excitement. They announce the cast as they come out to the stage. I don't recognize anyone except Dominic. I scream with enthusiasm. Some girl named Evangeline Lily and some guy named Mathew Fox are on the panel too. Finally they show us most of the pilot episode for this strange show.

...

The pilot ended and the room had a new buzz. This was a show unlike any other. We we're hooked. We we're now acquainted with the actors and I wasn't just there for Dom anymore. I was there for Lost. My new obsession.

Fast forward 6 years and I now have a different type of excitement. A bittersweet excitement... Lost is on its last two hours of story time. I think back to all the memories I have of the show. Who I watched it with, the fans I got to speak too, and even the time I went to a sci-fi convention and got to meet Evangeline Lily (Kate), Naveen Andrews (Sayid), and Ian Somerhalder (boone).

No other show has enthralled me with it's story the way Lost has.

As I gather my thoughts on what the final hours will be like I can only be grateful that I got to be a part of Lost since the very beginning; in that over crowded ballroom waiting for something exciting to happen.

I Love You Lost

Schools End

So the semester is coming to a close and that electric feeling for the beginning of summer break is in the air. Finals are all that stand between me and my summer vacation. The beginning of summer vacation always has that special feeling. Everyone plans to go out with friends, see people you haven't seen in a while, go out to fancy dinners, spend a few days at the beach, and if you're lucky you'll be one of the few people that get to go away for the summer. It's a time to relax and have fun.

I don't have really big plans for the summer but I do plan on going to Comic-con and turning 21. I'm excited because I'll finally get to gamble (funny how I'm excited about gambling and not drinking).

Oh and I am also going to buy some roller blades and do some skating. Remember when the cool thing was to roller blade and skate board. Maybe it's just me but I feel like they aren't as popular anymore. Anyway I hope to have a lot to write about this summer.

Till my next post! Ciao!

New here

Well I decided to get a blog, and I mean a real blog not just one I had to do for school. I wanna see if I can keep it up and make it interesting. Maybe I'll be good at it or maybe I will totally suck at it.
We'll see.
