Been Away for Awhile
Nov. 20th, 2013 07:42 pmI'm so sorry. I just neglect LJ any more. Part of it is because I'm not commenting much on everyone else's post, so I feel guilty posting here, and expecting responses. I guess Facebook really sucked up my internet-ness.
All that being said, I figure I ought to tell anyone who's left about my trip to the Long Island Doctor Who Convention.
It was so much fun. It's so great being amongst people who share my fandom. There was this guy in behind me and my friend, and the Doctor Who theme went off somewhere, and he said 'ah, the song of my people.' Totally true.
Got to meet Sylvester McCoy, which brings my total of meeting Doctors to two, having met John Perwtee thirty (yikes) years ago.
( 7th Doctor )
I'm dressed as a Fires of Pompeii soothsayer, and my friend is dressed as River. She has several River costumes and she rocks them!
Also met Frazer Hines. He was really nice.
Here's me in my Sarah Jane costume with a guy dressed as the 4th Doctor because, duh: ( Eldrad MUST live )
I loved that costume. My brilliant friend Kirathaune made it for me and it was totally screen accurate. Totally. So many people stopped me for photos I felt like I was famous.
There was another woman dressed as a soothsayer, and we actually hugged like we were old friends. It was so great. Lots of people wanted my photo then, too. I had the eyeballs on my hands and everything.
In Real Life things are good. We finished our renovation, which I guess can be a photo post for another day. It looks wonderful, and it is amazing to have the kitchen that I always wanted. Everything has its place, and there is SO much room. We have a 2nd bathroom now, which is also great.
Charlie is doing wonderfully. He made honour roll this term, and all his teachers love him. He seems to be socialising more this year, too, which is great.
Marriage is still wonderful. It's pretty nice, I must say.
My dad does not have lymphoma, which is awesome, but he does have some rare thing they are having trouble diagnosing. Whatever it is, it's curable, but in short, my father is an episode of House. We're pretty optimistic though.
And that's it for me. How are you?
