5 Fandom Friday: Five Times I Totally Fangirled

WOW this is definitely the hardest 5 Fandom to date! WHEN DON'T I fangirl?! I feel like my entire life is fangirling. I would definitely say I am a professional fangirl. I love screaming and sharing everything that I love!

1.  Sam Witwer at Phoenix Comic Con 2013. Phoenix Comic Con that year was pretty spur of the moment. The timing was right to drive out and stay for a day, spending the night before in a hotel before the day of the con. Upon waking up and checking out of the hotel, who should be standing in MY lobby?! SAM WITWER, my number ONE man crush. #dead I already had a photo op planned for later in the day, but couldn't help but bother him for an early morning photo as well! MADE my entire trip!

2.  Elijah Wood at Nerd HQ 2014. Now EW has been on my man crush list since my early fangirl days. EW was my VERY 1st crush EVER! So when the time came to meet him in person for the 1st time I was understandably nervous. My good friend Meli talked me off the bawling cliff when I first spotted him. It was amazing to learn he was such a sweet and happy person.

3.  Any A Silent Film concert. Now I have ASF stories for days: my 30th birthday, the first time seeing them with my Music Maven and Gamer Geek, traveling to Portland to see them. Every time is magical, I get lost in my musical heaven. And SOMETIMES I even elbow friends in the face {accidently!}. The picture above says exactly how music and ASF make me feel.

4. My entire UK Trip 2013. Can one person fangirl for six days straight?! YES, yes they can. And I am that fangirl. The moment my flight announced we were landing in London I was on the highest fangirl setting and it didn't end until I was on my way back home. Everything an Anglophile could ask for was given to me in my six days in the England. The weather cooperated, I saw ALMOST everything I wanted to see and bought all the things!

I didn't need to have perfect weather, I saw lot of things only in passing and I could have done with just my memories. That is how much I enjoyed my time in the England and cannot wait to experience even more this coming October. JUST being there is enough!

5.  Matt Smith photo op. Though it didn't go as smoothly as I would have liked {read all about the debacle here!} as soon as the curtains opened and THE DOCTOR was standing there with a jolly greeting, all of that faded away. I cannot be more happy with how our photo came out and do have been able to experience it with The Gamer Geek, made it even more special!

This prompt was so fun to write about. I can write about my fangirl loves all day! Now time to get reading yours! Make sure you tag me on Twitter so I can RT your posts and comment below!

San Diego Comic Con 2011: Day 1

Thursday began with a 5:30am wake up call.  

 Enough time to take a group picture and head for the Breaking Dawn line.

We got to the line around 7am and were pleasantly surprised with a FREE breakfast.  Volunteers passed out muffins, OJ, water and apples!!!  Then the screaming began.....

Members of the Breaking Dawn cast came out to sign autographs to those waiting in line.  Nikki Reed aka Rosalie.  

Ashley Greene aka Alice.

Elizabeth Reaser aka Esme the vampire mother.

And then we finally made it into H Hall around 10:30am and were seated 14 rows back.  Pretty close, could actually make out the actors this year.  And this year Rob's hair was the big news!  Half of his hair was shaved off!!!  They ended up showing two scenes from the new movie.  One with Jacob, Esme and Carlisle discussing who was going to go get Bella more blood to eat, to substance her growing baby.  The 2nd was an AWESOME honeymoon scene.  It showed Edward carrying Bella over the threshold of their honeymoon house...walking into the bedroom...and her saying she needed a "human moment" and getting ready to go for a dip in the ocean with him....NUDE!

They then brought out the rest of the cast for the Q&A portion.  And ended the panel with the Breaking Dawn trailer...and I got a lil teary eyed seeing it on that HUGE screen!

We then had a bunch a time to walk around the floor before heading to the Wilfred panel.  I LOVE this awesome Chuck mirror at the WB booth.

And one of my FAVORITE things about SDCC is walking around and seeing random celebs doing signings. Here are two actors from Dexter.  James Remar (Dexter's Dad) and C.S. Lee (Vincent Masuka) at the Showtime booth.

After walking around the the Showtime booth, I turn around and see Mr. In EVERYTHING James Frain (The Tudors, Tron: Legacy, True Blood, The Count of Monte Cristo {one of my FAV movies} and Flash Forward).  That was totally awesome!!  He is GREAT!

Also spotted Emmy Rossum from The Phantom of the Opera (another one of my FAV movies) signing at the Showtime booth for her show Shameless, after grabbing my favorite swag of the day, a Hunger Games Mocking Jay pin!  We headed up to room 6A to wait for the Wilfred panel.  

We ended up walking right into the room with no wait!  And after one panel ended, we got seats in the VERY front row!!!  To my delight the next panel was for the show Awake staring Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy!)  They showed us the pilot and it was AWESOME!  Kinda reminded me of Inception-ish crazy plot line.  But good, recommend it!!

Next we had to sit through the Beavis and Butthead panel...but plus side Johnny Knoxville was the host.  He and the creator/voice actor/animator made up the panel.

Then it was FINALLY the Wilfred panel!  They showed us tonight's episode, which was HIGH-larious as usual and the cast came out and did a Q&A with the fans.  Elijah Wood was super funny and nice, as was Jason Gann who plays Wilfred.  Got some great shots, even though the water pitcher was directly in my line of site cover up his face most of the time.  

A few of my favorite things from today...the Hunger Games!

This cute kitty!

The Phineas and Ferb booth.

I got to take a picture with the Perry bus and my Dad picked me up a FREE Ferb backpack....off to bed after a satisfying diner at Pho and back to the Con again early 2morrow to get into line for Ballroom 20, which I heard was a MAD HOUSE today....good night!!!

San Diego Comic Con 2012: Day 1

We ended up not walking up too early, but I could NOT sleep!  I was too excited!

Our first official SDDC 2012 stop HAD to be the Defiance Cafe to check out all the awesomeness that is my Hunny's game!

In the Defiance chair at the Defiance bar {lots of being a proud wifey this blog post!}.

Eating lunch at the Defiance Cafe.  Me and the Hunny.

The Hunny, @The_Gamer_Geek and Dad.

After lunch, we headed over to NERDHQ where we both got to try out the new Tomb Raider game and looks really good, the Hunny loved it!

Took a quick lil pic in the photo booth {might have to go on the Christmas card this year! :)}

 Shot of the outside of NERD HQ.

LOVED this awesome art work of Capt. my Capt.

We tried out the Nintendo louge at the Marriott and scored a free T.  Last year we went on the last day with the last 20 minutes, so were happy to try out the new Mario Bros. game and Mario Kart 7 without having to rush AND getting Ts that were our size!

Cute lil Hypnotoad toy at the Kidrobot booth that I missed out on...it was sold out :(

One of my SDCC favs Elijah Wood doing his Wilfred signing at the Fox booth. {He was my very 1st crush back in the day!}

The beauty Yvonne Strahovski from Chuck but now on Dexter!

Chillin' out on the Extra WB lawn which was outside the Hilton Bayfront Hotel.  It was a free stage to everyone, even if you didn't have a badge.  With lots of WB stars showing up throughout the day.

We the stars of the new show Arrow {Stephan Amell and Katie Cassidy.} which sounds awesome, can't wait to watch it on The CW this fall!

We initially went to the WB Extra stage to see a Chuck table read with fans taken from the audience, BUT there were a few guest surprises....Mark Christopher Lawrence {Big Mike}.

Mekenna Melvin {Alex, Casey's daughter}.

Adam Baldwin {John Casey}.

 Vik Sahay {Lester of Jeffster}.

AND the one and only Zachary Levi {Chuck}, who ran right past me while we were hanging out at NERDHQ early in the day! :)

My awesome swag of the day was my Dexter bag and pin, my favorite of the con...stuff from the Defiance Cafe, our cute NERD HQ photo booth photos, Mario tee from the Nintendo Booth and a HUGE Wilfred bag (which was found in the Gaslamp).

I have found that I have been either really picky on my swag, or there is a lot less this year than in previous years...after this...I get to sleep for a few hours, then down to get in line for Firefly 10th anniversary panel line...hoping to get GREAT seats for the panel and the Community panel too!

How are you all faring...love to hear everyone's SDCC stories! :)
