Thinking

Ok out of boardum I read the "Convention Ettiquette: Discussion and Advice on Do's and Don'ts" over at gateworld.net. And just something about it just didn't work for me. Ok, I've been to 3 cons (well one the first two were fan-run and can hold NOTHING against Creation)

It had to be just Creation I think. I mean its fine they (okay someone HIGH up) puts everything together but the $ and etc really peeve me off. And the whole "I know..." well enough said.

I mean do the actors have ANY idea? I admit there must be some "oh look a Con-here comes the gravy train" actors but these guys. Come on-for the love of the fans!

Make something.

Ideas

(posting here than LJ-at least yet-because well not 100% why but there is a reason)

After everything else some far this week (more like weekend) I decided to treat myself to seeing if wraithfodder had posted the last bit about the 11/3-11/5 con. She did!!

And of course absoultely LOVED reading the newsest (and last :( ) of it. And while reading about Joe's talk the one part struck me. And I mean it. Of course reading about the off set stuff-priceless!! But this one well response hit home.

Following info via wraithfodder's LJ and I'll say (c) my her (well since actually took the time to transcripe it-I give her credit because I would not have "heard" about any other way) and this was in response to a question someone asked Joe (and at wraithfodder's LJ its in the part were someone is talking about having the atlantis ring tone on their cell)-its all Joe.

"I was very shy as a kid. I got very shy and to the point where I was so shyI didn't want to really ever be up in front of any kind of group oranything. In college, I'd actually drop out of a class if they asked me to read in front of class," he admitted. "I hated it, and I actually went to an acting class because the shyness had gotten so bad that it was affecting my whole life. I wasn't able to do any of the things I really wanted to do and it started to really snowball into greater fear so I just did it simply because I thought psychologically it would be healthy not to be too shy about this stuff. And then go figure.. I became an actor. Wow, I mean that was a huge jump.. Truthfully speaking, it's one of the most common fears in the world is to be in front of a group of people."


OH MY F..... GOD!! That is soo-no lie me. I once took the advance (well sorta) english class in 10th grade to get out of the public speaking class. Never did have the problem in colledge (pfft that place!). But it is making me think. Really. I've had the inkling before the possible try this because my shyness is really I think affecting my life. I never go out (homebody here) and that sucks. Big a... time! Jesus C.....!! I mean I had respect for him before but still... I just can't say anymore about him.

I mean this really is emotional to me. It like "get off my lazy, fat arse and go and do something about". I mean what excuse do I do? Money, time, sleep (that be the only thing becuae of the way I work). Really inspiring Joe. Truely. May I have the guts/nerve/etc to tell him that. Guess that goes along the lines of walking up to one of them and say hi without feeling like I'd die.

One day I'll tell him that. Truely. Thanks for the advise Joe even though you probably will have NO IDEA that you gave it and somebody used it in this way. Thanks. My respect forever. nod.

Dreams and the such...

Aparently I need to stop (yeah right!) reading the Con reports from this past weekend's event. (side note: unless I won a free seat, etc. to one-i.e Creation related-I don't care-unless my job depended on it-then I bet they would pay!-who is there-I'M NOT GOING!. Beyond the $ (ok the real reason) but the stories I've heard... Plus I've been spoiled by Commonality 1 and 2-SO help me IF any one is reading this KNOWS what I mean-EMAIL me!)

One more thing-I'm making my on "Con" and taking my own chances "wandering"Vancouver this summer looking for them myself, Knowing my luck-I'll see somebody at the drugstore or something(hahahahahah!!)

Ok the "dream" thing. After reading the reports-so far-and getting an email from someone I knew in high school (that I hadn't heard from in 11 years!)-I had a dream about Jason, Cliff (I think) and people in my high school.

The parts I remember now are for some stupid reason everyone was at Walmart/Sam's Club and I (or someone else) and a very long rope tied to Jason ankle and we/I were pulling him across the front-or trying too. And then some how a school bus got involved and well...

I am NOT weird. And not a 100% Jason fan (not even 1% a Cliff fan)- though hearing Joe talk about Jason has me taking a second look. The stories. And if the one I "read" is true-oh man. :)
