I am BACK.

 

Hey guys! So, as you can tell, I am BACK from my eight day vacay. (Woo! I rhymed!) It was a blast and I enjoyed every minute of it. 

The Chancellor and I after the show
at the Knight Club

It started with Medieval Times where I fell in love with the Chancellor, received a flower from the Blue Knight who promptly looked down my shirt after the show when I met him (I have photo proof!), and was flirted with by the King's marksmen. Oh, and the Chancellor flirted with me too which was probably the best part of the whole night. 

My vacay ended with the D23 Expo and that was exhausting. I didn't get to meet - or even see - Dave Barry, so that was a bummer. I went to Disney's Hyperion book booth and I was SO disappointed. They had nothing for the normal shopper or the reviewer, and you couldn't even buy anything. They said "All the books here are for show. You can only look at them.". What. The. Fudge!? Anyway. I went one booth over to Little Golden Books and got some freebies. Their freebies are just some of the many pieces of swag I found all over that three floor convention center and I hope to give some of it away. 

Paige O'Hara and I

 Besides swag, I have to say the best part of the Expo was getting to see Paige O'Hara (voice of Belle) and Johnny Depp. Paige O'Hara is the nicest lady (and she really is a lady) and I enjoyed talking with her. It also turns out she paints! So I bought a painting she did of Belle with books and she signed it to me. I nearly squealed.

Now, Johnny Depp is....still one of the hottest actors. **insert dreamy sigh** He may be old enough to be my dad, but he sure as heck didn't look like it. 

I met him while getting Paige's autograph and simply got a small wave when I said his name. (No, I'm not the rude obnoxious fan that yells his name. I'm the quiet, stare like a deer in headlights, fan.) I also met his decoy about fifteen minutes later. His name was Larry. On top of that, Depp was also staying at the same hotel as I was (Disney's Grand Californian Hotel) and that was super exciting. Oh yeah....I almost walked into his room too. Fun. :D

Now, I am exhausted. I just finished my first week of Senior year and I'm already working on my second essay. (The first was finished and due yesterday! Yay for AP classes!) Hopefully everything will return to normal after this! :D
