Well, Laurel and I did actually manage to get to Comic-Con yesterday. What we didn't expect, however, was the HORRIBLE, DEADLY PRE-REG LINE OF DOOM. Seriously. It looked like it was 5 hours long (granted it only took us 2 hours to get through it, but...). But even so, once we had gotten our badges, it was nearly impossible to get out, and having never been to Comic-Con before we were thoroughly lost--we *needed* to get to Hall H, which had been right near where the line was outside (though far, far away from the inside one, apparently). Hall H was where Neil would be--our main purpose of going to the con (and quite possibly the purpose of our lives of the month) along with the other people presenting new movie footage from Paramount Pictures. But no~, we were foiled by our con-struck sense of direction and an impossible case of beginner's luck. So we failed. T^T
However. We managed to get to the Exhbit Hall, and giddily spent all our money on trinkets. Oh if it weren't for stupid pay-day being on Friday...! I had only $60 and spent the first $13 on food. Oh yes, food. Did I mention how our *brains* were melting out our *noses*, we were so hungry? Oh no, no breakfast for us, we were too busy trying to look as J-Rock as possible with crazy makeup... But anyway. (We did look bitchin' tho, <3.) So $13 on food. Then we found this most amazing guy's booth with awesomely dorky pins...And we talked about how creepy porn is, then we bought pins, then he gave us cookies. (I dropped mine. It was so brittle it crumbled out of my mouth when I was holding it there looking in my purse. u.u Cookie.....) *Then* we looked all over til my work-wearied feet were numb, and I ran out of money. But the most awesome yet horribel part was...We saw Neil. Doing an interview. 10 feet away from us, but we were trapped in a line and unsure of what to do. (I could see his *head*! And his *jacket*! Argh!!) But we didn't want to be the horribly annoying fangirls so we let him leave. We rationalized that way, yes. Argh. u.u (...Unfortunately, unlike AX, there wasn't a particular highlight in loot. But that's all right. I did so want that mini-Cthulhu plushie though...!!)
Next year, Neil, we'll meet you, or I'm committing hara-kiri. No, really. o.o
