Im home. Like, Parents house home. Home in Cheney was full of dirty clothes and no food. My parent house has a washer and dryer and Raviolis. This is home.
And now onto my weekend of CRAZYNESS.
Friday I got to Tashas LATE because I GOT LOST trying to find Zachs Parents house because ZACH cant give directions. This is sad. SO, Meg and I drive around Everett and Mukilteo stopping in at like Dennys and asking some guy for directions because no one else is helping. We finally made it to Zachs Parents house only to find that Zachs mom was not answering the phone because she was DRUNK as HELL. She felt bad, she was like, I didnt even here it (the phone), Im so sorry, and I was just like, tell me how to get to the FING FREEWAY and I will be fine...SO, I got to Tashas, we hung out all night, didnt get much sleep then...
Saturday RingCon was upon us. We got up late, we picked Jen up late, we got lost and some how got onto I-90 and had to turn around in Issaquah, but, dont fear, we made it to Tacoma. We went in, got our tickets and the first room we went into Craig and Jorn and Bruce were all signing autographs. I saw Craig, and just FREAKED OUT. I didnt even like the guy, thats Tashas thing, but man, it was great. I pointed him out to Tash and we proceeded to freak out with each other while Jen looked on and laughed. (Jen came with Meg and I and went to RingCon with Tash and I, she had fun, thats a side note, thanks.) We waited in line for an hour and finally got up there for pictures with the Actors and Autographs. "Haldir" of Lothlorien played by Craig Parker, "Gamling", Captain of Rohan played by Bruce Hopkins and "Rumil" of Lothlorien (brother of "Haldir") Jorn Benzon were all at the Con. I bought a REALLY cute glossy of Craig in civilian clothes and had him sign it. While he was talking to me he asked if I was going to the ball that night. I was like, ah, should I? He said that it sounded like fun and that I should check it out. He was SO cute. I REFUSE to believe he is GAY. REFUSE TASHA, YOU HEAR ME. Then I got a picture with him. He smelled wonderful and was so nice and I cant say enough nice things about him. A great guy, really. Then, Tasha had her go with Craig after two boys cut in front of her. I swear, she almost laid the smack down on the kids. She was like franticly yelling, "WHAT?!"as the second boy cut in front of her...so funny. THEN, she gives Craig this beautiful $80.00 copy of LOTRs. He proceeded to sign it on the wrong page and spell her name wrong. But, fear not, after Jens life saving suggestion, he used a bigger pen and traced over the name mistake and spelled her name correctly. You should have seen her face. Priceless. After this hoopla she got a picture with him thats insanely cute and I love it. I can only hope that the picture I took with Craig turned out as well. After the autograph craziness we dinked around till the Craig Parker one on one started. I cheated and got us wonderful seats after shmozing with the security guard. This, I might add, was the second time I had talked to him in one day, keep that in mind. Ok, so, good seats, Craig is motherfucking funny as hell. I want to marry him. Really, sorry Tash. I took pictures, I laughed, Tashas batteries craped out and she didnt get as many picture/video as she wanted. After this we proceeded to hang out until we noticed that Jorn Benzon was hanging out in the room and talking to fans. After a group of 5 girls had their share of him, I nervously walked up to him with Jen and Tash in tow and started up a conversation. We talked for a good 15 minutes. He is incredibly nice and cute and just fun to talk to. All three of us got a picture with him and to his disappointment we told him we were leaving to go get smashed. He was like, your not going to the dance? He told us to have fun getting smashed and watched us walk away. We should have stayed. :'(
By this time in the day I had talked to the same security guard four times and he was with Jorn when he told us to have fun getting smashed. SO.....
We get back to Tashas house, decide to go back to RingCon on Sunday and go to bed. I was fucking tired. We had taken Jen to her aunts house in Kirkland and then we ate at Tashas then went and picked up Jen again, mind you we went the wrong fucking way and were lost as hell for a bit, but, we picked Jen up, when to a STUPID party and then ended up going to Tashas and watching FOTR. I then took Jen home AGAIN and back to Tashas for the night.
Sunday it was just Tash and I at RingCon. We made it to the Actors Question and Answer which was SO SO SO SO SO SO FUNNY. Bruce is like a comic genius and CRAIG is like SO excellent. I cant even tell you. He just kept me smiling and laughing and just glowing the entire time. Of course after this was Autographs AGAIN. While we were in line that Security Guard came up to me and whispered in my ear, so, you guys get completely toasted last night. I was SO FREAKED OUT. Im like, why the FUCK is this kid hitting on me. EW EW EW. After that Tash wanted more pictures so we got pictures of her with Craig and then Jorn alone again. Afterwards it was off to take Tasha home. I dropped Tash off and went to Jens aunts place where I got Jen then we meet Meg and her bad directions boyfriend at the Gas station and finally went home. After all the driving I had done all weekend Jen drove home which was a nice change (we took my car) but now I am SO FING tired I could just sleep for Days. I need to do my math home work and reading for my history class but I just want to sleep. Eh.
All in all, it was a brilliant weekend. I miss Tasha already. Shes like the funest girl to hang out with and RingCon was just full of great memories and I love Craig and Jorn. They where just Kiwis. Cheers boys. Im out!
