After a lousy week, being sick and all, I had an AMAZING weekend!
On Saturday we had our annual Jedicon, and I had a blast! The fanfilms were great, the speeches and debates were AWESOME, and I had my EXTREME fangirl moment when only myself and another guy in the entire audience knew what exactly the Outbound Flight Project was - since the books were never translated to portuguese, AND the american versions are only occasionaly imported by our bookstores, only few of us have access to the EU - the speaker even joked that he knew we both would knew about it (he knows me and my EU obsession) and that we were the "nerdiest" in the audience because we knew what it was! Then I gave some info about the Dark Nest books, and Aaron Allston writing again about Wedge and the Rogues, and he said that I was their "official Del Rey representative" because I'm always up to date with everything EU books related - or I was, when I had the time for it, now I only get little bits about it. I was actually proud of being the "nerdiest"! Not ashamed! LOL! XD
But the best part were the costumes myself and my boyfriend wore! I have been planning my costume for almost two years, and last year, when I failed to make the helmet and almost went to the Jedicon without it, my boyfriend said that if I waited another year, he would accompany me, and, well...
( I present you Leia as Bouush, and Chewbacca! )
And on Sunday, it was even better, if possible! The whole family got together - all my grandparents' sons and daughters, and their children! Well, except two uncles and one cousin. My mother and one of my cousins organized panels with old photographs of my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, and of ourselves as children...everybody brought great home made food (cakes and such)...it was so great, and fun! I got to catch up with my cousins, whom I rarely see nowadays! Family really is what really matters, you know?
( My family! )
Today I didn't do much, except obsess over my missing camera - my boyfriend forgot it at Jedicon, but apparently one of our friends who organized the event has it with him - and at night we watched The Island, with two of my favoritehot and yummy actors: Sean Bean, Ewan McGregor and...( Spoilers!! )
Oh, before I go, and because she said such nice things about me, I must plug Mollywobbles' LJ! I mean, Patricia's LJ! XD![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
patigwblack! She is our "official" Molly cosplayer, and much more friendly and reasonable than Ootp!Molly! Just don't accept any Snape video she sends your way, or you will be scarred for life! J/k, Pati! THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP WITH THE CAMERA! And all the chat last week, when I was down and sick at home! ;)
Off to bed! I go back to work tomorrow! *groans*
