Should I video tape San Diego Comic Con 2009?

Ok, here's the dealio. I have video taped Con trips before, but I'm considering making a tape for remembrance's sake this year at CCI in San Diego. (since it's the TMNT's 25th anniversary and all) Do you think I should? Just a quick poll ;D

Ok, here is an update on this post. These are the people who are staying at Lucky Ds:

Ok, so my girlfriend Jennifer (soliloquy) and I were at the dollar tree this last sunday, and I wanted to pay for her stuff to be nice, and she was trying to stop me from paying for it. This caused the girl in line in front of us to say to Jennifer "Oh, let your mom pay for things for you." ... *blinka* MOM? EXCUSE ME? Do I REALLY look old enough to be Jenn's MOTHER?

Here's some pics so you can judge:


Do I really look old enough? Eek. No, I'm going to put it off to the fact that Jenn is short and young looking. Blech.

"If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal."

Damn, I don't know if I should explain or not, but if more than 5 people ask me to explain, I will post a journal entry raving about my awesome buds. :D

I had a weird dream last night about Jenn(soliloquy), amandatello, cynlee and I going to New York city (sorry, mandy_nyar, you weren't there, but my subconscious put cynlee there to annoy me instead). Anyways, we got there and the place we were staying allowed kitties, so we had a ton of kitties in the hotel room. However, for some reason the cats needed thier own bed, so Jenn and I ended up having to sleep in the hallway :p It was really strange o_0

It wasn't as scary as the dream I had the night before though. I dreamt that Lucky D's called me up and told me that I had booked the wrong week, and so we had no place to stay for SanD comic con. I woke up in a panic! Blech.

I think I had that dream because I'm a bit worried about WHERE we are going to stay in New York. God, I need to get on top of that. AND AMANDATELLO, YOU NEED TO EMAIL ME SO WE CAN SIT TOGETHER ON THE PLANE!

I will post sometime this week about the accommodations for SDCC and such, but to end this, here's a pic I had up on my website for a long time that I enjoy. TMNT as KISS (Or Kiss as TMNT, I can't decide):


I scanned this a LONG time ago out of wizard Magazine. No idea who drew it...

I have an annoucement! On thursday June 4th, my sister Karlee gave birth to a baby girl named Zoey Lynn! Jenn(soliloquy) and I are now proud aunties again :D

Also, I have learned the following from This Yes/No Meme

1. My girlfriend can knit! :D
2. I WANT MEXICAN JUMPING BEANS! http://www.mypetbeans.com/

Finally, here are my stats for who has commented the most on this journal (an update of This entry

( Who comments the most on this journal? )

I think cynlee is up there in stats because of our disallowing fight.

nicked from autumndandelion

1. You can ONLY answer 'Yes' or 'No'.

2. You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone messages or comments you and asks-and, believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming. Nothing is exactly as it seems.
( Now I wanna do #18! ooohh and #56! )

I added numbers to these yes/no questions because then it's easier to reference them if you want to ask me about them!

Also, I wanna tag some people to do this meme! (feel free to tag others if you want, if not, then don't) I wanna see soliloquy's, greenwillow27's, rosefox8's, mandy_nyar's, emerald_7's, and neenjacowboy's answers, cuz I'm nosy and interested! :D If you want to do the meme, feel free to nab it ;)

NYAR!

Edit (06/16/2009): *taps foot impatiently, waiting for emerald and neenjhacowboy*

I'm at work I just posted a book called "Manhattan Nocturne" ... is it just me or would that be an AWESOME name for a TMNT fanfic?

*Mica has turtles on the brain... can u tell?* ;D

Stoopid internal clock. 5:15 AM is for SLEEPING!

I noticed I never updated my f-list on the status of Jenn's Job! She got a permanent job at citi! Yayness!

Also, I noticed this at work yesterday... Point Of Origin is abbreviated as... POO! ;D hee hee. *mica is easily amused*

I made San Diego Comic Con Airline Reservations for Jenn(soliloquy) and I yesterday evening! :D Yayness! We (along with mandy_nyar) will be arriving in San Diego at 9:23 AM. NYAR!! SO HAPPY!!! *squeals excitedly*

And now some funness piccies to end the entry:

( some cool TMNT Xmas cookies that Jenn decorated )

and at request of mindy_mousie... ( here's pics of the Mikey Mobile! )
I now return you to your regularly scheduled f-list. *yawn* and it's STILL too early in the morning. :p

WHAT THE FUCKERY?!?!?!?! GOD-DAMN IT PL! KNOCK IT OFF. There is going to be a headline tomorrow "Balding Fat Man Dies mysteriously" if he doesn't knock it off. GUN-DAMNIT! (4 those who don't know what I'm rambling about, don't worry about it. I'll get over it, but I cant promise I wont shoot someone)

Ok, to calm myself down, here is a TMNT cake:

Yums! Raph cake!!

Also How the nyar did I not know this about the International Space Station? (TMNT fans, I know you're bored, but you should click on that link, you might just LEARN something)

I like this quote "Donatello is a more capable module than its two siblings" ;D hee hee.

Hmm.. LEERNING IZ FUN!

First the bad news. Contrary to what the CCI guide and website says, Peter Laird will NOT be at comic con international 2009. He says so here (scroll down to PL's fourth comment if the link takes you to the top of the page)
Sadness.

But to cheer you all up, here is an awesome TMNT pic I found:



Isn't it perty? I could watch it for hours ...

BTW, what *IS* a bookplate? and what does "tipped in" mean?

EDIT:

Tipped In: A separately printed illustration, etc., cut to the size of the leaf of a book and pasted along the inner margin of the appropriate text page prior to gathering. Such an illustration is said to be a "paste in." Tipping is a time-consuming, and therefore costly, aspect of book production. (Source)

Bookplate: A bookplate is usually a label pasted into the front of the book-- sometimes it says "this book is the property of: " and then you write your name on it. (source: cynlee)

NOTE TO SELF: Listen to Jenn, she usually knows exactly what the nyar she's talking about. :p

So Jennifer (soliloquy) is supposed to find out whether or not she got the permanent job at Citi today. *crosses fingers and hopes* I'm pretty sure she's got it, but I've been wrong before. (God, I hope I'm not wrong here!)

Also, Jenn and I have agreed that we are going to New York City after comic con with amandatello *squeals* YAYNESS!! :D

On my own job front, I'm a little worried and confused. My bosses called me into their office on Tuesday and talked to me. They said that book sales were not meeting their expectations, so they want to put me on a salary of $500 every two weeks (a little less than what I make now as an hourly employee) and then if I make over a certain amount in sales per month, I will make a commission on what I sell. I was rather worried, and I asked what happens if I don't meet my monthly sales goals, and they said "Nothing." ... *blink* So okaaay. I think my job is safe, since no one said anything about letting me go or anything. Maybe it's just my asperger's and I'm not reading between the lines like I should, but I'm just going to try to let it go and not think about it. It won't do me any good worrying about it. Blech.

In other news, some of you wanted to see my new TMNT "crotch shot" Tshirt. So here's a pic that my sweetie took of me yesterday morning:



I know it's not the best piccy. Sorry. It's such a fanservice shirt! :D It doesn't say Hot topic on the tag tho (no tag actually) It says "Giant" ... strange... and I cant find it on Hot Topic's website. More weirdness. NE1 else find or have this shirt??

I went to the doctor with my girlfriend Jenn (soliloquy) this morning, and I decided on a whim to jump onto the scale after she was done, and ACK! I AM 200 POUNDS! O_O WTF? God, last I remember I was hovering around 165... O_o I've been dwelling on it all day, and I feel grumpy about it.
I would work out more, but Jenn has warned me that if I try to start losing weight she will too, and being that she's a rather neurotic Leo-type concerning goals she sets for herself, I'm afraid I might get her started on something drastic.
I don't know what I'm doing different to gain weight, other than eating dinner every night. *sigh* I HATE YOU SCALE! ... *grumps* I don't FEEL like 200+ lbs. Maybe the scale at the Drs office was broken. I'm going to pull out the Wii Fit tonight and play on that for a while :p

Ok, remember I said in my last entry that my girlfriend Jennifer (soliloquy) had something funky with her eye? Well, while we were in Utah her eye flared up again and got all pink. We went to Wal-mart optical center and the doctor there said she needed to see a better eye doctor and may have to have surgery. The guy said that the optometrist would probably have to do punctual irrigation and redundant caruncle tissue excision. She has this strange "eye flap" (a little dawb of connective tissue) in the corner of one eye that has her tear duct. In addition, her eye constantly waters and once and a while flares up by getting red, itchy, and poofy looking.

When Jenn looked up punctual irrigation on the interwebs, it seemed like it was only usually used on very young children, and that it was very rare in adults. Is this true? I'm confusled.

Jenn will have to go to the regular doctor when she gets insurance sometime next month. Has anyone here ever had eye surgery? Does it hurt? Jenn is worried they are going to stab her in the eye with a needle, and it'd be nice to have some reassurance that they won't do that.

There are a couple of people with eye smarts on my f-list aussiegirl17 & emerald_7 are the two I think of, but any help anyone can offer would be much appreciated. Everyone on my f-list is awesome smart! ;D

Hi all,
I am back from my trip to Utah. I am overwhelmed with stuffs to do, so if you have an LJ entry that you posted between Friday April 17th and Tuesday April 27th that you want me to read, PLEASE TELL ME!! (either via comment here or email or PM) I will not be catching up with my f-list, but I will keep up from today on. If you have an LJ entry where I am mentioned/tagged/etc please tell me and I'll read it. (Even if it's a meme, I like to see stuff about me, because like most humans, I'm ego-centric ;)

Here's about my trip:
( Breakdowns, Inlaws, & Vodka, oh my! )

Ok, there's been some heavy shiznit in my LJ this last week, so I thought I'd spam you with some kitty piccies!

Wow! Kittens separated at Birth?
soliloquyand my kitty, Shannon	moronqueen's kitty, Cleo

Poll #1384756 Do these cats look alike?

Wow, do these kitties look alike?

I am still mulling over the issues in my previous entry, and I just wanted to THANK all the cool people on my f-list who replied and gave me VERY good advice

I am going to make a list of questions/life goals like GW (and a few others) suggested.

HOWEVER I just want to make it clear (to others and to myself)that if Jenn and I have a disagreement on one or more of the questions/issues, that does NOT mean we are incompatible and should break up! It just means we need some more time to live with each other and adjust to the other person's habits before we decide to marry. I know right now, I'm leaning heavily towards just waiting. Maybe when Jenn and I reach our 5 year anniversary then I will re-visit this issue. hmmm.

Also, a personal note to myself: Do not rush into this just because Iowa changed the law and might change it back. You are not ready to get married until your answer to this question "Would I still want to get married to Jenn if it was illegal?" is yes.

Nyar indeed. ;)

EDIT: I still no has scanned in my TMNT-U submission. Bad Lazy mica. No cookie fer U!

I meant to post this earlier this week, but I got really busy at work. IOWA ALLOWS GAY MARRIAGE NOW!
Iowa doesn't have a residency requirement for marriage licenses, and it's close enough to south dakota (about an 1/2 hour away) that Jenn (soliloquy) and I could go and get married if we wanted to. So, this brings up an interesting dilemma. Here it is :
I never really believed in marriage. I've always kinda seen it as something society imposes on people. However, that belief has slowly eroded since I met (and fell in love with) Jenn. This is not because of anything she has done. In fact, she is scared of marriage, due to a failed previous one (maybe I can talk her into writing a LJ entry this weekend expressing her exact feelings). No, this is because I feel a deep connection with Jenn. It goes deeper than "girlfriend" or "significant other" can express. Those terms just feel too temporary.
I also had a sort-of blasé attitude about gay marriage. I felt that it wasn't worth fighting about since I really didn't think a marriage certificate made much of a difference. However, now that I have the ability to marry Jenn, I think I might want to.

What do all of you on my F-list think about this? What are your thoughts on marriage? Those of you who are married, why did you do so? Are you happy? Help a nyar out! Give me your thoughts!
