Geek It Up
This week is kind of like my exams week. I have two exams, but then I am done with school until January 13th. Woohoo!
On a more totally awesome and fun note...I got my geek on and went to Armageddon! It is like a smaller version of Comic Con!
I got lots of pictures but not enough. It was hard to get pictures with people when I had no one to take them for me. But I made due. There was so much I wanted to buy and so many things that made me miss my friends from home. It was like I had died and went to heaven. Can you imagine when I actually go to Comic Con. Haha!




I got to take a picture with the Tardis! What?! I conqueered a Dalek and saw two Doctors battle the Impossible Astronaut. I also got to see two K-9's! They are so adorable!


There were princesses, superheros, and villains everywhere. There was a kid dressed up as Superbatman. He had on a Superman costume with a Batman mask. So cute!
I got to fight crime with Batman and Robin. AND got to help Optimus Prime and the autobots fight against the decepticons!
Although I wish it could have gotten a picture with Dexter Morgan. (My recent tv obsession)
Speaking of princesses...look who are the two ends of a book end. Cinderella (Akasha) and Belle (Amber). I miss my best friend!




I also got to meet Gandalf the Grey and hobbits. Not my favorite story, but still awesome to see someone walking on stilts.
Star Wars, on the other hand, I like better. I happened upon a blog post that has come up with a new, "better" way to watch Star Wars. Now I want to test my theory! Supposedly watching movie 4 first, then 1, 2, 5, 3, and finally 6 is the best way to watch it....
I walked through a maze with zombies from the Walking Dead. These people had the same make-up used for the show. The were scarily real looking and acting. I did not stick around long enough to get pictures of them. But I did get a picture of fake zombies you can buy.


I also saw Harry Potter wandering around the expo. I tried to track him down, but he kept dissapearing. Anyone have any idea how he was able to do that?
Daniel, I got to see Ichigo and Rukia from Bleach! I almost bought a stuffed doll of Cone too. Luffy was also wondering around!
For all of my Game of Thrones friends, if I wanted to cough up some money, I could have gotten a picture in the Game of Thrones throne. It looked pretty awesome!
They were selling so many different things! Cristina, they had key blades! They even had the one with the chicken on the end that we always liked so much. Haha!
I wish I had had some friends around to go with me but I had so much fun wandering around this expo; seeing all of the merchandise, getting to hear the guest speakers from Doctor Who and Luna from Harry Potter, and all of the people dressed up. It was awesome! I was like a little kid on Christmas!
