Today and tomorrow...

[yodathedark]

Today, I did several firsts.

I went to Glasgow for the first time.
I met a movie star for the first time.
I had said movie star steal my popcorn.

To explain, slaycandy told me last week about this film event happening today. A Kill Bill double bill with a Q&A session with David Carradine. So, I said "hell yes!" and tickets were booked.

We ended up going with masofsuxor, noir_guitarist and 3 of her friends. First off, we arrived in Glasgow. After getting to Glasgow, we went to Pizza Hut then the Odeon without meeting being assaulted by neds or meeting weejies. (shock horror, i know!)

At the Odeon, got in, waited a while and got into the screen :) We ended up in row A, right next to David Carradine (yay! hehehehe) and we asked questions, got them answered, got stuff signed, laughed with him, heard all the stuff not over the mic, etc.

After the Q&A session, went out to get drinks and popcorn, on the way back, I dropped my wallet, bent down to pick it up and when I stood back up, David Carradine was there, helping himself to my popcorn. :D One of the staff said to me: "You don;t give a shit do you?". I replied "Nope!" with a huge grin. :D

Then we watched KB 1&2 and got a lift home with Sage's parents (yay for free lifts).

And tomorrow, I'm going to have to spend the majority of the day coding (website for work and assignments) as well as getting the new contacts. I have lots of stuff to code for HWUSA, and lots of stuff to code for assignments and lots of stuff to write up for assignments. But I should be getting paid soon... I hope... And is it bad that I actually feel more comfortable coding my Turing Machine in anything except Java?

Cool, you could have said who he actually was tho.

So you've met Bill, I'm sure there is somthing wrong there -- didn't somone kill him?

Very good films, on many diferent fronts.

Hello....

...no idea who you are or where I picked you up from - only that you claim to go to the same University as myself - but you added me to your friends list. Did you miss the "run away, this girl's a freak" button? Some people do that...you might have missed. Of course, you could have genuinely meant to add me *looks pitying and wonders if you know what you're doing*, in which case...hmmmm, I have nothing to say (for the first time this week).

[yodathedark.livejournal.com]

you mean you don't recognise the name Yoda? not even from HWUSA?

hehe...

[snowspider-nemi.livejournal.com]

Sorry...unless I've had a long discussion with you on HWUSA and forgotten, I don't recall a Yoda outside of Revenge of the Sith (for a most recent example of when I last came across a Yoda). I remember a Mas and a Zippy...though not a reason why beyond that I might have inadvertantly annoyed Mas and I replied to a post by Zippy a few hours back.

Sorry if I offend you by not knowing who you are; unless I frequently engage in some sort of conversation or staring contest with a person I tend not to recall who they are. Aside from anything else: I haven't spoken to any small green men since, well, ever actually.

However, say hello...look interesting and I might put two-and-two together and get a Yoda.

Me annoyed? Sounds like some sort of... effort.

[snowspider-nemi.livejournal.com]

Annoyance takes no effort...that's why so many people opt for it.

I still can't be bothered.

Mr Carradine was in a terrible mood today because the orginisers of the memorabilia fair neglected to anounce he was signing at all during the show and because C3PO had a bigger cue than he did.

[yodathedark.livejournal.com]

hehe...

well he growled at sam as well as nicking my popcorn...

[masofsuxor.livejournal.com]

And the less explored the reasons why he did the better. I didn't like your first explanation one bit.

[yodathedark.livejournal.com]

neither did i....

[armands-gift.livejournal.com]

You were in Glasgow and you didn't come visit me....:( m all sad now.....I was at work and everything, just down the road from the odeon

[yodathedark.livejournal.com]

soory, didn't have time and Ian couldn't remember where you worked apart from it was round this corner and round that corner then somewhere down a little street...

FIRST???

[slaycandy.livejournal.com]

Soz, only just noticed the now that was your first meeting with a movie star! Well now, we're goin to have to fix that - just wait til I get a few more things lined up!!!

I'll be sure to make sure I get autos and what not for ya in two weeks time from the serenity folks. :P But I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for more movie folks, :)

Ciao!
Sayjay

Re: FIRST???

[yodathedark.livejournal.com]

why aren't i surprised about you fixing that?

hehe.. :D

Are you going to amuse me or not?

[snowspider-nemi.livejournal.com]

Well...you added me to your LJ "fiends" list and I did you the *ahem* favour of adding you to mine, yet I'm still curious about much of your reasoning for having taken a moment out of your life to consider my existence. What can I say? I'm a demanding person (not overly demanding...just demanding)..

Since everyone else on my list of "friends" are people I share a common interest with either in reality or unreality (most of them being budding writers looking for editorial help, a boyfriend or someone I spoke to briefly in an LJ community) I can't help but wonder what factual or fictional "thing" made you select me. Or is it simply a case of: "you go to HW, now you're on my hit list"? For the love of the gods don't tell me you want help with coding, because I don't do coding...I simply perform a complex ordering of chaos and hope like hell that it works when I'm done.

Of course, mostly I'm just bored, otherwise I probably wouldn't be going to all this effort and, likely, irritating you whilst you have coursework to do.

Re: Are you going to amuse me or not?

[yodathedark.livejournal.com]

random people on my friends list are always fun.

plus, i know vaguely who you are which is a bonus.

Re: Are you going to amuse me or not?

[snowspider-nemi.livejournal.com]

How would you know who I am when I wouldn't know you from (if you excuse me for saying so) mud?

I'd bet £5 that you could walk up to me, spit it my eye and I wouldn't have a clue who you were...but I'd lose £5 and get spat in the eye, and none of that sounds like fun.

Re: Are you going to amuse me or not?

[yodathedark.livejournal.com]

doesn't really does it?

well i vaguely know lots of people... normally they know me better.

vaguely can stretch to you're someone i recognise by name on the forums, someone who's sites i've looked at, etc...

i don't always put thought into my friends lists...

Re: Are you going to amuse me or not?

[snowspider-nemi.livejournal.com]

Oh well...I usually like to add people I can sit and have a conversation with about something from time-to-time when I'm bored.

I guess I can deal with having a random person hanging around. As long as you pick you pick your socks up and don't leave cigarette butts in the sink (don't ask...)

Re: Are you going to amuse me or not?

[yodathedark.livejournal.com]

well don't smoke, and i tidy my socks up regularly.

random conversations can happen - usually in the Union during the day...

Re: Are you going to amuse me or not?

[snowspider-nemi.livejournal.com]

Ah, the Union: a haven of coffee and wi-fi.
