I'll start from the beginning.
My dad has moved to Wisconsin to pursue his career as Union minion in the carpentry trade, so now its just my mom and I now.
Next, I've been at CONvergence 2010 for the last few days, shall I explain? Yes I shall.
CONvergence is a geek convention, and this year was the Bad Guys year, so Parox wanted me to go, so I did.
Here's what happened:
Thursday= Got up, got ready and we left at about 2:00. When we got there we had to wait in a long annoying line to get my badge because we made a transfer from someone else to me. After that Parox and i went to get our faces painted by a friend of Parox's mom. Afterwards we met up with a girl named Alynna and schlepped our way to the dealers room. No, its not drugs they deal, its just stuff.
And there I bought a set of Tarot cards with Botticelli artwork and a Marilyn Monroe poster (hung on the back of my door). Then we went and got food from the CONsuite and walked around for a while. After a while we decided to go in the pool, so we stripped down and got inthe hot tub.
Aaaaaaaaaah....
Felt good. then we went back to Alynnas room in search of more food, and there we found her little sister, and a flat screen T.V that broad casted events from the CON itself. So, to save us the trouble of getting awful seats for opening ceremonies, we stayed in the room and watched it on the T.V.
Then we went to the Teen Meet Up, where I found my friend Riddles, and made some new friends named Ninja and Rabbi. And after, we got MORE food, and then threw back a few smoothie shots at the Space lounge, and then we got great seats for the Dr. Horrible Sing-Along (one row in front of us was both the Joker and Dr. Horrible). We sang along to every single song...
Then we left.
Friday= Got up at 9:30, and once there we went to the dealers room again, where I got an Audrey Hepburn poster (keeps falling off my wall) and then we went to go see when Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince started at Cinema Rex (geekazoid movie theater). We were early so we did what any teenager would do.
Sat down in the kids room and colored.
Then, when the movie finally DID start, we were screwed out of our seats by Jubbler (Parox's ex) who NEEDED to speak to her immediately or he would surely melt and die.
They were outside awkwardly talking for 15 minutes so I went in. And by the time Parox came in, I was already frustrated, so I left.
Luckily for me, Riddles, Ninja, and Rabbi were outside the door. We went and browsed artwork from the silent auction (lots of dragons, but I liked the Anime influence), and after that we wanted to play a game, so we ran to the game room and played Operation, where I lost. Then we played Uno, and I lost. And somewhere in there, Harry Potter ended, so Parox walked in and joined us. We played another round of Uno, a few games of President, and Go Fish.
At that time, we were feeling dry, so we went to the pool, and had a furious water battle for Independence from the British. Soon, Parox and I had to leave to get seats for the Shining.
We got a couch this time. And the guy sitting next to us was hilarious. After that we made it to the Teen Meet Up, which was quiet at first, then for some reason, a game of tag ensued.
But this was no ordinary tag. This was evil, satanic, slapping, red-marks-on-the-arm, tag.
So I maturely hid under a table until the hour was over. After that we went to the Space Lounge, had some Con Shots, and watched the Cabaret.
Then we left.
Saturday= Got up early, had breakfast, and watched and episode of Man V. Food. When we got there, we (once again) went to the dealers room, where I bought a Clockwork Orange poster (don't know where to put it). Then we went to see the Wizard of Oz in Cinema Rex. I haven't seen it in such a long time so it was really fun to watch again.
Then Parox had a shift to do in the green place thing, so I looked at the huge schedule, and nothing was really happening, so I went back to Cinema Rex and watched the last bit of Superman II, then saw the Emily Hagins shorts, which were very good.
But there I made a cataclysmic decision.
I had Skittles AND Mike Ike's in the same sitting.
Which is a lot of sugar, and I have a very sensitive back tooth, so I immediately got a severe toothache.
And it HURT. Not just hurt, but it was aching, throbbing, and generally pulsating with pain.
I didn't know where to go next, so I wandered to the pool. And then I started getting a headache because I was thinking about it too much.
I tried to read a bit of Sybil, and then Parox found me. By that point, I was so ready to go home it was ridiculous. I needed to be in a place where I had easy access to Asprin.
So I called my mom, and she called my sister, which I was not thrilled about because I hate bothering her.
So she got me and that was my last day at CONvergence, because I'm missing the closing ceremonies tomorrow to go to my Aunt Marys Fourth of July party.
I had a lot of fun, but in the end, I had too much sugar, and had to miss Se7en AND Silence of the Lambs at Cinema Rex, which I'm unhappy about...
Now I'm mourning the loss of the Allen and Craig show, as it only has one more episode until the series finale.
R.I.P Allen Murphy and Craig Deering
