Work Work and more Work and a little bit of Play :)

Ok so I have been mega busy at work lately but I have still had a little time to have some adventures, because we had a little bit of hassle at Thorpe Park we were given two free tickets of our choice so we picked London Dungeons, now I was a little scared about going as I am not a fan of wax works and mannequins (I know crazy phobia). Anyway we went and I really enjoyed it I was a little disappointed that it wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be but I loved the rides.

After the dungeons we caught a bus and went over to the London sea-life aquarium and I wasn't really expecting much as I have been to other sea-life centres and they have not been great, but I wasn't disappointed we were there just over two hours and it was amazing. We saw penguins, amazing variations of fish and SHARKS I love sharks they are one of the most graceful creatures ever.

 Keep checking back for more adventures, I have loads coming up soon - Racing/camping, EMS and the long awaited Hallowhedon :)

Thorpe Park

So I went to Thorpe Park for my cousins birthday and it was really good day apart from typical British weather raining all day and a few rides that my brother couldn't fit on but we had a blast on all the water rides

Loggers Leap - awesome ride we shot down there like a torpedo

Rumba Rapids - we got a little bit wet :)

Tidal Wave - We got drenched but it was fun

This ride is amazing once you get over the first part

#LFCC

So LFCC came and went so quickly, it was by far one of the best conventions I have ever been to, I had a blast. I went with my best friend Nicola and we met some amazing guests and finally meet the awesome friends we had made through twitter.

On the preview night we managed to meet most of the guest we wanted and actually got loads of time with them and over the table photos. I met Chris Parker, who was amazing he sat the same side the table as all the visitors and really interacted with people. We then went and met Danielle Harris who was really sweet. Our next stop was Jewel Staite and Adam Baldwin, there were both great, Jewel is beautiful and plus twice she has tweeted Nicola which I am mega jealous with.
The other guest we got to see was Holly Marie Combs she was very sweet and the hotness Thomas Dekkar

Craig Parker

Thomas Dekkar

On the Saturday we had a bit of a crazy start we were pushed from queue to queue and we ended up being herded around like cattle. But once inside it again was a made rush of hunting through stalls, overlapping photo shoots and trying to hunt down people that we had met on twitter and from previous cons.

We came across a couple of guys with Lego heads and asked if they would let me take a photo of them but one better they let us wear them and put them on. :) There were so many amazing costumes this year, I am really thinking in October when I go to EMS I might dress up on a day that I don't have any photo shoots.

On Sunday we were a little sad that it was the last day and we would be saying goodbye to everyone we met. We were joined by my brother and his fiance and we mainly hunted around stalls and had our last few photo shoots. I got to see Anthony Head again and he was just as amazing as when I saw him in October.

Where is this year going

So I cannot believe we are already in June, how this year is flying past but there is so much I am looking forward to, LFCC, hallowhedon, Micheal McIntyre and hopefully Harry potter tour.

Recently I have been going to the cinema with my best bud Nicola at least once a week which is good as we both had a spell of not going and didn't really like it much but now we are addicted again. Last night we watched Snow white and the huntsman it is amazing I had heard a lot of mixed reviews but I was glued to the screen from start to finish. Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart were brilliant I know a lot of people that say she acts the same in everything that she is wooden, but I think she is awesome.  Also Charlize Theron was epic she seem to have disappeared from our screens for a little while but has come back in two great film not only in this but also in Prometheus which we watched the previous night which was equally as good but did leave a few unanswered questions, also another great performance from Noomi Rapace who I think is amazing even more with each film she does. So if you are heading to the cinema check out both of these films you will not be disappointed.


Other things going on I am on holiday this week and to be honest I haven't really done much but I am off to London tomorrow with Nicola to hunt down some comic and graphic novel shops and M&M world, then Friday I am participating in a Zumbathon charity event for cancer research. So check back to find out how I get on........

Zumbathon

So I know this is my second charity event so far this year and it won't be my last, this time I am participating in a two hour Zumbathon for Cancer research.

Now everyone at some point of their life will be effected by Cancer, either by experiencing it themselves or watching a loved one battle through it. Having watched family members and friends battle against this some lost and some triumph I want to raise as much money and awareness to hopefully one day researchers can make cancer a thing of the past
