this is just to say:

Spent the night at Katie's with Hollis last night to prepare for the epic adventure that was Supercon. As if the weekend needed to get any more awesome, we ended up seeing Iron Man with the boys from Finkle. I loooove that movie! We went to Burger King afterwards to hang out in the parking lot like drug dealers. (Apparently, I look identical to this guy Thomas's exgirlfriend?) Having a girly sleepover and socializing outside my usual circle was so nice, and exactly what I needed. Oh, socializing:

Bwhahah Nymphadora Tonks and I are tight.


Supercon today was the shit.



We rose at the crack of effing dawn to get ready! Three girls, one bathroom. We then proceeded to get Kyle, at which point we boarded the Weasley Shaggin' Wagon to embark. We drove for many a mile, listening to the vocal stylings of such greats as Harry and the Potters, the Remus Lupins, Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls, Mickey Avalon, Jason MRAZ MRAZ MRAZ MRAZHANDS MRAZ'D COW DISEASE, Justin Timberlake, Blink 182, the Spice Girls, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, etc. We braved the epic wilderness of Alligator Alley, during which point I saw an alligator and Hollis spotted a deer. Several nefarious gas station bathrooms were visited on our journey, the walls of which were decorated with swastikas and phrases like, "Truckers strike = no economy." We finally arrived at our destination after many triumphs and tragedies, after a three and a half hour drive, to scream wildly at all the scary anime-creeps in costume.

First people we saw were Hugh Mitchell and Danielle Tabor, who played Colin Creevy and Angelina Johnson. Haha, they basically didn't know much about Harry Potter, nor had they been interested in it at the time of auditioning. Hugh was really effing cute, and Danielle was so so pretty and nice. She told a story in which Alfonso Currean, "he's like this mental, laid back hippie" apparently threw a goblet at the wall and terrified the children, as well as an owl catching on fire.

Then came the fuckin' moneymaker, Natalia Tena. They introduce her, "And here she is, the actress who plays Tonks, Natalia Tena!" and throw open the doors...to reveal her making out heavily with this guy against the wall. The con guy who opened the door was like "Gaaah!" and swung it shut. A minute later she like stumbles in, soaking wet and like completely disoriented. Holygod so funny. She gets up on the stage, sits down, and is like, "So what do I do? Just fuckin' talk?" and told us the guy she was making out with was named Adam (I think), wasn't he hot, and he flew down from Boston, and that she just ate fried chicken and was swimming, and is hungover and confused. But it was in the most rambling, incoherantly clumsy, disheveled, adorable, likeable hippie way. She seriously is Nymphadora Tonks! She was asked about Tonks and Lupin, and was like "I bet the sex is GREAT!" She said that in the next movie they have "all these yearning looks. Would they hold hands? No, I don't think they would hold hands, they'd just be near each other and be cool, and then run off to have naughty sex." In a bout of crazy animated, mile a minute rambling she revealed that there will be no funeral scene in the next movie, at which she then went, "FUCK! SHIT! I'm not allowed to tell you that! Oh, fucking hell man. Shit." I'm pretty sure she was seriously a bit upset. She talked joyfully about her theater career and her favorite company that she's worked for, doing a show that she did solely because it involved her wearing nipple tassles, ("like, crazy pink ones, man") and playing the accordian while on a trapeze. Someone asked her about her newest film, said they'd seen the trailer and she was like, "What? Oh yeah, that." and definately could not remember the name of the film, and the fan asked what it was about and Natalia was like, "Fuck, you tell me, man! I'm like a fire-person in it, I don't know. Like a fire fairy and then a coke addict in real life or something. I have no idea, man. I only did it cuz they were like "Nat, do you want to be on fire and ice skate in Italy?" and I was like yeah!" SHE IS SO INSANE. She talked about how she likes to be naked, how she never sees Daniel Radcliffe, and is never starstruck because "everyone eats, pisses, shits, and DIES." So funny, genuine, enjoyable and hilarious. Apparently, she only got the part because she came into the audition drunk, and sweaty from having ridden her bike there from the show she was doing, and tripped over a chair, and because she told the director, "I haven't read anything about this, but I've heard she changes her hair, an' I do that all the time!" Kyle liked her because she talked about drinking, smoking, Tom Waits, and David Thewlis. Also, she personally tried to get Kyle hooked on some band by telling him the artist was like "sex in a cd, man." She also said she "felt like such a twat" all through filming because she'd be holding the wand and yelling things at nothing, and obviously nothing was happening.

She was out of her mind. And vulgar. But she was also beautiful, kind of slutty, completely animated and carefree and excited. Totally Tonks. When she got off the stage she kind of wandered the crowd for a second in a crazed daze until someone showed her the right way.

We then waited like 45 minutes for Devon Murray, aka Seamus Finnegan. We later found out he got into a car crash, and that's why he was late. So we gave up on him. We were really disapointed to find that the Weasley boy would not be there! Katie was furius and complained, and they were like, "Uhh, we put it on the website last night..." So dumb. Krum wasn't there either, apparently his grandmother died. :(

We wandered amongst the scary freaks for awhile, contemplated buying lots of stuff. They had TARDIS parking passes which I found to be hilarious, some other Doctor Who/Buffy/Marvel shit that I totally would have bought if I wasn't trying to refrain from being a total nerd, as well as all kinds of bitchin' comics and action figures and such. I almost spent ten bucks on a crazy epic painting someone had done of RDJ as Iron Man, but alas, I restrained. Katie was still pissed about the lack of Weasley/Krum and wanted to Hulk!Smash the surrounding freaks, many of whom were fat, pale, and half-naked.

We went and got autographs and pictures with Natalia Tena, (she made me write my name down for her so she wouldn't "totally fuck it up!") HAHAHAH, Katie took photos with Chris "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE" Crocker. Kyle took a photo with that guy from Clerks, Brian O'Halloran. I took a photo with a man dressed as Tony Stark. I told him his arc reactor looked really awesome, and he got all stuttery and was like, "Y-y-you know my technology!" ahah. Katie had bought a Japanese soda, but could not for the life of her figure out how to open the bottle. By this time, Devon Murray had showed up, but he didn't give a Q&A, and we didn't want to wait in line to meet him, so we just took stalker photos of him. He is like four feet tall. Alas, had I talked to him, I completely would have tried to get my one true love, Matthew Lewis's number out of the deal. dammit!

After meeting this scary ninja boy who performed num-chucks (sp?) tricks for us, during which one flew off the handle and we all had to duck, we decided it was time to leave. Kyle drove and chatted with his boo while Katie and I napped. After awhile, we pulled off the highway at Punta Gorda and ate at a Pizza Hut/fancy bistro, where we ate shitty overpriced food and periodically lied to Hollis's mom. Kyle and Hollis slept in the back, while Katie drove at the breakneck speed ("JARVIS, SHIFT IT INTO HYPERSPEED")of 110 miles. We reached familiar surroundings, at which point Katie and I serenaded Kyle and Hollis to techo music, and harmonized to techno jams while the other two madeout like animals in the backseat. Hollis was dropped at MCDonalds, and Katie and I composed a beautiful techno ballad about Kyle's boner, titled "Kyle's Boner." We proceeded to sing this all the way to his home.
Katie and I then went to McDonalds in Palmetto for Diet Cokes, which seriously tasted like the bountiful tears of the gods after being thirsty for so long. Katie then dropped me off at my little zhome.

THE END OF THE JOURNEY.

It was so nice to go out on a girly outing! Having girly-chat time with Katie was seriously wonderful. I have so few girlfriends, so few opportunities to be silly and vent and talk about boys and clothes and gossip and how we think we're fat and scream MRAZ MRAZ MRAZ and stuff. I hope I get to hang out with her more in the future! Hollis as well; we had so much fun together!
