Sunglasses on the Subway

I'm on the subway, going southbound from St. George. The man in front of me is wearing sunglasses. Why do they do that? Is it because it's so sunny in the mostly underground routes? Maybe it's the flourescent lights that light up Museum station. Maybe the likes to sleep, and don't want to look ridiculous? But wouldn't you be most concerned about your mouth hanging open, tounge leaking drool in your left corner, than your eyeslashes twittering or whatever talent they might posses.

Though I do know for a fact that this man is not worried about the fluorescent lights or sleeping. For one, he is incredibly tanned having me believe that he is a fan of the sun. And no it is not sprayed on - he is in fact flaunting a very unattractive croc tan. Secondly, he's wide awake. Wide awake and staring right at me. Wide awake and thinking that I don't know. Possibly the main reason why people wear sunglasses on the subway trains, besides the fact they think they're cool, is so they can stare wherever they like and not look like a complete creep. But let this be a reminder: if you do on intend on being the "cool"-creep you are, make sure your sunglasses are FULLY tinted. Because dude, I can fully see your pupils glaring right through.

King starion, my stop. As I leave he smiles, completely throwing away the purpose of his sunglasses. You see, it wouldn't have been creepy if you didn't have the not-really-tinted specs on, creep. I say, take them off! Be proud of the creep you are, stop trying to hide it!

My Fan Expo 2009 Favourite Moments

- A girl wearing, "Then Buffy Staked Edward. The End"
- A really fat guy wearing a Halo costume.
- The really fat girl wearing some costume. Her belly was sticking out.
- This really hot..person. It was a nice costume, great body. But I'm not sure if it was a guy or a girl.
- Master the pole with the nail. It's what we used to grab hoodies from the far top.
- Spending 20 minutes picking out 20 comics. 50cents! With a minimum purchase of $10 (N) Whatever. Worth it!
- Guys telling me, "You don't look like you belong here"
- Guys telling me, "You probably think we're nerds don't you?"
- Telling guys, "I'm actually a big fan of certain Animes" and having them :O and conversate for a few minutes.
- Looking at the awesome and not so awesome costumes
- TRYING to jump into every picture I can get into, HA
- etc etc etc

Fan Expo

September 28th to the 30th consisted of me working half the day at the wonderful Fan Expo. At first I was like dude, some people are SERIOUS. But there were some seriously good custumes. I don't know what it's called, I think my sister said COS playing? Sorry. But I spent my time there working at the ever so wonderful Stylin Online both. When I signed up for the job VIA Craigslist, I was picture a both much like from the last convention I was helping at. You know, just a typical table. But NOOO, this was some massive structure of t-shirts. Inside and out and hoodies and shirt sticking up above you. It was insane and the amount of people were insane. I remember the 2nd day when I was making my way to the ever so far South building at the Metro Convetion Centre, I actually had to LINE UP just to get up the escalator. Our booth was directly across SPACE and they had a chair with a laptop on the side. And I was just ALMOST tempted to take that extra chair that wasn't being used and sit on it just to escape the whirlwind of people. The people I was working with were pretty cool and chill. Pay was so-so but I had a good time. Some cash and free merchandise? Can't say no! I had to rush my picks because I didn't want to miss my bus (which ended up happening anyways). So I ended up with a Kobra Kai shirt and a The Dude (Lebrowski) for myself and a glow in the dark Batman shirt that the boyfriend has always wanted. Check them out online. Shirts. Kids Shirts. Hoodies. Belt Buckles. Patches. The Works.

It's Whatever

It's feels good to know you have someone you can call no matter how late it is. It feels even better when you know they don't mind when you're calling them sobbing and heaving deep breaths right through the reciever. They insist on staying on the phone for 5 more minutes until you start to fall asleep. That the very sound of their voice makes the pain much more bareable.

I guess all I have to say is Thank You because there are numerous things that I can think of, a possible 8, that wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for you and your goodness. Forever & Always.
