Okay, I've done it. My trip to the Burbank con is a go (credit limit holding firm). I just booked my room, flight and bought my con ticket. *whew* I also caved and got a photo op with one David Hewlett! Though I'm a Shep whore to the core (god that man is heavenly hot!) I love DH as McKay. He's so hilarious and I've heard he's the same way in person so it'll be a joy to meet him even for a few (15?) seconds. :)

My brother is beyond jealous and is requiring me to get an autograph for him. I have yet to decide what to take with me for signatures (gold package gets me them yay!) I'm thinking T-shirt that I'll never wear, just hang in my room. A poster would be too big and I don't have any real pics.

Suppose I could print out a collage of my fanfic title pics on one page. What do you all think?

Also, it's clearly stated that there is to be NO VIDEOTAPING at the con. How to others get around this (which they obviously do). I need tips and tricks. ;)

There's a new poll at People's Choice... Your favorite Atlantis lady. If you miss Elizabeth as much I do you should vote. For some inexplicable reason, she's tied with (of all characters) Keller!

Here's the thing... The 'last' SG1/SGA Convention in Burbank CA is this November and I'm considering splurging on it since I haven't had a vaca in... well, ever. AND the same weekend is the Firefly Convention :)

I realize Joe (or Nathan) isn't going to be there, but David is scheduled as well as Jason and Rachel. It'll cost me big time (but that's what the Mastercard is for, right?) Anyway, I'm thinking of going with the "Gold" package just for the heck of it since it seems to include everything I kinda need and I won't have to do too much thinking once I get there -- I've heard these are very organized and I can just follow the crowd and be a tourist :)

So then there's the accessories: 1) Flying vs driving. I'm coming from Vegas so gas vs flight is really a wash cost wise. 2) it's at the Marriot 'Airport' Hotel, so no driving necessary really since the hotel costs seem rather reasonable for the weekend considering it's just after Turkey Day (if I book now).

Is anyone else contemplating going? It'd be great to meet Flisters if any are going to be in town. :)

Does anyone have hints/walkthrus for this sort of thing? I've never been to one before and I'm getting kinda excited about the prospect of throwing my (credit card) money around for my fav actors/shows.

I'm also entering my new vid into the contest *fingers crossed* I think it'd be a great tribute for both shows.

a/n: This came to me suddenly in the middle of the night -- last night -- so, I had to write it tonight. It's been pestering me all day so this is a one-shot, not beta'd and not as polished as it should be... still, it's what my muse wanted and, I admit, I am a slave to the muse. Hope you enjoy anyway. FB is cherished.

What *my SECRET Real Name* Means

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

Most of this, so not me... that last sentence... Now THAT'S Me! LOL
