Highlights of 2012 - An EPIC year

So 2012 was a pretty awesome year for me, I got to see and do so much, I also got to meet for the first time all the scoobies (you know who you are if you are reading this) I love each and everyone of these guys.
Highlights of 2012

I have a huge interest in the Titanic and this year it celebrated the 100th anniversary now I went to the London expedition and to say it was one of the best things I have ever seen is an understatement, one of my best friends brought me tickets for my birthday and we went together. It was so well put together and the experience was amazing. With it being the 100 year anniversary this year I have managed to acquire quite a few new collectibles to my collection and obsession with the titanic.

Also this year I went to Hallowhedon 4, now this is the second year in the row I have been to Hallowhedon and this one was 100% better then the first, I finally got to meet all the scoobies I had met on twitter and it was one of my best weekend conventions so far (though I did end up ill but it was totally worth it). Even though a few of us had only ever spoken on twitter and never met in person when we all got together we just all seem to mesh and it was as if we had all been friends for years. Rhys who we adopted as Dad of the group turned out to be one of the nicest people on this earth and has an equally amazing fiance Joanne who both I hope to stay friends with for many years to come. Joey are crazy fun loving Rocky Horror enthusiast and who can boogie on the dance just brightens the room whenever he is in it was awesome. Nicola my equally crazy best friend who got me hooked on conventions may we never drift apart as my life would be boring without you. Immy our lovely friend from the Netherlands who managed to make it to HW4 we were so worried she wouldn't make it but did and it was awesome seeing her again. Carrie who we met at HW3 managed to come to HW4 and it was so nice catching up and hearing how her year had been and fingers crossed she can come to HW5! Stephen how I loved that he was the same as me, not a party animal and quite content drinking tea and relaxing while the others danced till there hearts content on the dance floor :)

We have had some amazing films in 2012 we had - Brave, Batman Spiderman and Avengers! these were some of my favourites. There has also been some amazing TV shows - Rizzoli and Isles, Lost girl and Unforgettable

I was never a huge fan of Michael McIntyre but I went to see him in October for his Showtime tour and I was not disappointed I was in fits of laughter and loved every second of it. If you haven't seen it check it out

My baby Shelby also turned two this year, it is crazy how big she has gotten and how fast these last two years have gone

So these were some of my highlights from 2012 - fingers crossed 2013 will be filled with more epic adventures, STAY TUNED :)

Good times to come :)

I haven't blogged in a while but to be honest I haven't really been up to much, I recently joined the gym to get in to shape and I am really enjoying it, especially power hoop, leg bums and tum, swimming and the sauna :)

I had a week off at the end of March and I went comic shopping with Nicola and we had a great day, we hit subway and the range which is now my new favourite shop, it has everything you could ever want in it. I spent most of my week at the gym, with friends and spending time with my family.

I actually picked the best week off because I had amazing weather, so one day my mum and I went to a nearby lake and took Shelby out for an outing.

Even though I had an amazing week off when I went back to work as usual I ended up ill and the last few days I have been laid up with a kidney infection and when I say I am bored I mean I cannot wait to get better so I can go to work, go to the gym and go and see Titanic in 3d!!!!
My last seven day's has consisted of scary ambulance ride to hospital at 2am, doctors, sleep more sleep and even more sleep but with my second round of antibiotics I am feeling better and fingers crossed back to work Friday.

I actually have loads to look forward to in the next few months, it is my best friends birthday and we are hitting Brighton on Tuesday then at the weekend she is dragging me clubbing (yes I am twenty four and have never been clubbing) so that will be a new experience but I am looking forward to it.

Then there is LFCC in July again I am spending three days in London with my best friend and hopefully get to see all the fab friends we have made from Hallowhedon and twitter it is going to be awesome.

I also recently have become hooked on Glee, I used to give my friend grieve over it that she was a gleek, but now I have given it a chance my mum and me are hooked on it so I apologise to her as I am now a fellow gleek :)

Stay tuned for more adventures xoxo

2012 is here, but goodbye 2011 which was a great year

So 2012 has finally arrived, however I am a little sad to see 2011 go as I have had a great year. I've had so many amazing adventures but hopefully this year I will have more.

The highlight's of 2011 for me were:

Going to the titanic exhibition,  this was a awesome present from my great friend to go and see this in London.

I went to the magical Disneyland Paris in July and to say I had an amazing time word's cannot describe

I then got to meet various Harry Potter cast and the awesome Karen Gillan from Dr Who, it was a quick 'hi' and then autograph but she was lovely at the London Film and Comic Con

Then another convention was the London Media Show at Earl's court where I met Eve Myles, Sean Patrick Flannery, Arthur Darvill and many more :)

But I have left the best to last and that is HALLOWHEDON, now this was the best thing I did last year and I am happy to say I am going again this year. I met so many amazing cool people who I hope are going again this year. I got to meet the one person who I have wanted to meet since I first started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Anthony Stewart Head and he rocked.

So they were some of my best highlights of 2011 but stay tuned for more adventures in 2012 :)

Hallowhedon 3

I know it has taken me ages to blog about this but finally it is here.
So from Friday the 28th to Sunday the 30th I had the best time ever! I got to meet people I grew up watching on TV and never thought I would get to, I made some new awesome friends and boogied the night away on the dance floor.
On the Friday my friend Nicola and I made our seem to be at the time long journey to London Victoria and then grabbed two tubes to get to Heathrow Terminal 1,2,3 to say we were excited words can not describe. Once we arrived at Heathrow we took the free bus and once we were on it, we suddenly realised we didn't know the name of the road or where to get off so we had to trust the bus driver to let us know however he managed to drop us off about a mile down the road and we hadn't got a clue where to go. Thank god for google maps as we managed to navigate our way there and finally check in at the Radison Heathrow Hotel which is amazing, one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in.

After dropping our bags off in to our fab room we headed down to the registration desk to get our hallowhedon packs which include photo's to get signed by the guest, coasters, badges and other cool stuff. We had a few hours to kill before the meet up so we unpacked all our stuff, geeked out over our packs and got ready to go and meet some new people which we were really nervous about.
The meet up took place at a pub not far from the hotel called the Pheasant it was quite a small but pleasant pub and the food was to die for the portions were huge and the prices were great. We met a few people and they turned out to be great we hung out with them most of the weekend.

left to right: Immy, Nicola, Kim and Carrie

After the pub went went back to the hotel for the open ceremony and got to see two out of the five guest which were Charisma Carpenter and Amber Benson, it was short and sweet quick hello and round down of the weekend then we all headed off to get ready for the PARTY!

The first party of the event was Highway Robbery Ball and I went as a cow girl and Nicola went as an Indian.

The party was great it was well decorated and the music was cheesy but good to dance to and trust me we boogied the night away.

The next morning we awoke crazy early to get breakfast and start the fun filled day. The breakfast was great good value for money as it was basically all you can eat from hot food to cereal and fruit. Of course I went for tea and full English breakfast and it went down a treat. We had breakfast every morning with Immy and Carrie which was good to catch up on what everyone.
I was mega nervous as I was about to meet Anthony Head and I love him, with all the conventions I have been to he has always been the one I wanted to meet. Standing in his queue to get his autograph I felt psychically sick and was over excited. When we were finally at the front I didn't really know what to say so I sort of just stood there and smiled. Luckily Nicola jumped in and told him that I loved him and I have been wanting to meet him for years and he was soooo lovely, we then had a quick chat about the queen and he signed a photo and my journal. We then moved on to get autographs from Amber Benson, Adam Busch and Charisma Carpenter who were all equally amazing. After all the signings were done we went off for a photo shoot with Anthony and he remembered me from the signings :)
We managed to get all our stuff done which we were really happy with because all we had to do the next day was get the rest of our photo shoots and get Phina's autograph. The rest of the afternoon we had guest talks and a quiz.

That evening was the Halloween party and I thought our costumes were awesome, I went as a killer doctor and Nicola went as Sally from Nightmare before Christmas

I didn't stay as long as I wanted to at the party because I was feeling grotty. I did manage to catch the live band Lecarla and Amber Benson riding the spider machine.

The next day was full of Photo shoots, hanging out in the dealers room spending way too much money. Guest talks, Auction which I regrettably didn't buy anything and sadly the closing ceremony. Then off for a nice meal at the pheasant. The evening party was a chill out party and Nicola had a fab firefly t-shirt she made herself and I wore a blue denim shirt and jeans.

The chill out party was great we danced the night away and managed to sit and have a good chat with the friends with made and swapped details to keep in contact. At the end of the night it was quite sad because we knew the next day we would be heading home :(

Morning came way to quick and we finished packing up our stuff and headed down for our last breakfast, we were joined by Carrie and had a good chat before we all left.

So overall I had a amazing weekend and cannot wait to go again next year!!!!!

London Media Show

So the Saturday just gone was the London Media Show and it was awesome!!! I was really excited to be going because there were loads of fab guest going. I was a little disappointed that I went on the Saturday and David Tennat went on the Sunday :(
However I did get to meet Eve Myles, Joe Flanigan, Arthur Darvill and Sean Patrick Flanery. Eve Myles was soooo lovely she was really friendly and easy to talk to, I also got a photo shoot with her and when it was my turn I was nervous as hell I was like OMG what do I do, then she threw her arm around me and we got a really nice photo.
Now Sean Patrick Flanery was HOTNESS, I really liked him when he was in simply irresistible and did a few guest appearances in a few shows I like. When I went up to him he was quite chatty and signed my picture then I asked if I could get a posed photo with him and he said that was fine, when I went to give his handler my camera he took it, put his arm round me and took a couple of photo's of us together.

Sean Patrick Flanery



Eve Myles

Joe Flanigan

As usual I am never disappointed with the fantastic stalls down there to buy from, I came away with loads of cool stuff. I finally brought myself some Lucky charms and Marshmallow Fluff spread (it is amazing with peanut butter!)

Stay tuned for more adventures soon, I have coming this month - Dr Who Experience and then Hallowhedon :)

London Film and Comic Con July 2011

Saturday the 9th of July was an awesome day I will never forget, myself, my brother, Stacey and my great friend Nicola and her dad when to London's film and comic con. We got up super early to catch a train to get us there just in time for the doors to open. When we arrived there was a crazy queue full of fellow comic con geeks many dressed in amazing costumes. It didn't take long for us to get in and the fun began. I run straight to Karen Gillan booth and managed to get a low number ticket 623 (u need a ticket to get the main guest autographs) I knew that it wouldn't be until later in the day that I would need to go back and queue up to meet her so we headed off to see who else we could see. The first guest I found was Natalia Tena who plays Tonks in Harry Potter and she was amazing

Afterwards we had a good look around the stalls and I found some amazing bargains



Other fantastic guest I met were, Stanislav Ianevski (Viktor Krum from Harry Potter) he is soooo HOT. Harry Melling (Dudley from Harry Potter, he looks so different from the films he was lovely I had a nice natter with him he thought I was Australian) and Devon Murray (Seamus from Harry Potter, he was really sweet and easy on the eye).

We did some more walking around and grabbed some food, then Stacey went for her K-9 photo shoot which was awesome and a little while later we managed to see Karen Gillan!!!! She was amazing I was so nervous I wasn't quite sure what to say to her but she was lovely. This comic con has been the best one yet, I am already saving for the next one, can't wait!!! lol

Hallowhedon 3

I am so excited, me and my amazing friend Nicola booked our tickets and hotel for Hallowhedon 3 in October!!!!!!. We get to spend Friday-Monday with a fun full weekend of guest talks, autograph sessions, photo sessions and themed parties :)
