Comic-con/Sweating Bullets

So on Friday, I went to Comic-con with Richard, Eric, and Dad. I dressed as Maka Albarn from Soul Eater, and Richard was dressed as Big Boss from Metal Gear 3. Everyone we ran into was very nice. I got pictures with Toph and Ty Lee (from Avatar), Deadpool, Peridot (from Steven Universe), Scarlet Witch, and female Hades and Ursala. Richard got pictures with Peridot and Punisher. People wanted pictures of me, and people wanted pictures of and with Richard, including the press. Cool, right? ^-^ And everyone of us got cool stuff. I got seven books like Enter the Institute, Fairlaine the Goblin, The Silver Age of Comic Book Art, The Creators 1 and 2, First Law of Mad Science 1, and short stories from the Mad Science word. I got four Pop vinyls; Spike and Willow (from Buffy), Slade/Deathstroke, and Rapunzel that came with a tiny little Pascal vinyl. I got a crochet goblin complete with satchel and tree, and Richard bought me a Cataur plush from Final Fantasy. I also got a Tali'Zorah portrait, a book of 20 Avatar posters, and a Spidey necklace. Between all of us we got some a good haul. :) It took a lot to get home because of a storm that hit as soon as we left the Jarvis Center. We were soaked to the core and even had to seek shelter in a parking garage to wait for the rain to calm a bit. We all got home safe though, and luckily, none of us have gotten sick. When we got in I found out I got two packages and a card. The packages were from Shutterfly. I got a mug with a picture of Richard and me on it, and I also got 271 pictures to put in my photo album. I had so many pictures I needed to get a new album for the rest.

But I also got a Halloween card from Jane... It said the usual... "I miss you and love you. Mom." I hate that she still uses such a condescending title. In my word you have to earn your keep in the way of titles.  I've lived here in New York since July 1, 2013. When I first came I was scared and nervous and kept to myself. I opened up after a while once I got to know the family. But here's the problem, when she sends me cards with that bullshit I get mad and upset. I even start getting insecure thinking that the family I have is going to disown me at some point to. I always cam down eventually, but I hate feeling so insecure all the time. This family I have loves me, and I know that. But I hate the questioning it from time to time. So I have half a plan to deal with it. I'm going to cal her from the house phone, so she can't text me... But what am I going to say? I have like no words without feeling like I'm excommunicating Ethan. If anyone has advice, I'd like to hear it given its put in a respectful way.  The reason I'm starting to sweat bullets is because as much as I didn't give a fuck about the Halloween card I would get pissed if she sends cards for Thanksgiving and Christmas because those are family holidays, and Jane and I are NOT family. And I don't care what her game plan is. I care about my own game plan. She doesn't deserve to be in my life. And I won't let her ruin more family time with my family. I sent her a letter after my birthday but apparently she didn't get the message. Now I need to give her a clear but respectful "fuck off". Please wish me luck.

And now here are some pictures of Comic-con. ^-^

Treasured Memories

WARNING: THIS WILL BE MY LONGEST BLOG ENTRY. Worked on this through August 6 through September 4. Started this post August 10th. Life, as we know it, is a complicated storybook for humanity as a whole. Some lives end before they can begin while others experience a lengthy lifetime of bizarre moments that form character development and plot twists. Some stories tell of sacrifice of a parent or child while some stories tell of a victorious march that turned the tides for a nation. Your life is your story and it's scary knowing how much control over it you actually have. Are you the courageous protagonist  or the disillusioned antagonist? Are you a doctor living wealthy or are you scraping change and living paycheck to paycheck? How much of your story have you shared with others, and how much have you kept away? Life doesn't end after the book is finished. Each of us impact someone else in an amazing or terrible way. But it's up to you how your story coincides with someon...

Treasured Memories Part II

Image
A few days ago, July 3rd, I was reading the latest issue of Reader's Digest. The first article that caught my attention was 'Why I've Decided Not to Write a Memoir'. It was about a woman who being given a very detailed and loving letter from her grandmother about why her grandmother couldn't write a memoir even though she had so many stories collected. This article made me reread the first  Treasured Memories I wrote almost a year ago. A lot has changed since that draft for some, and I want to add more people as well. Some bonds have grown stronger, and others have made their mark in my lately. Books named in the memories will be linked in the bottom. I will be using Goodreads links because Goodreads is also important to a few memories.

The Perfect Book for a Traveler of the Mind or Vacationer

  I recently finished reading ‘Where to Go When’ by DK Eyewitness, and the immediate things that make the book fabulous are it breaks up locations by what month is the best time to visit them, they tell when else to go, and all about planning your trip. Each ‘chapter’ is month by month. The other months each location may mention may mention off-seasons, concerts, holidays, ect. In the planning your trip section they mention getting there, getting around, the weather in that month, and the average weather in Fahrenheit and Celsius. For any and all travelers that is extremely important, the Fahrenheit and Celsius because you don’t want to have to take your phone out to translate that on your own all the time.  While reading the book a few places stood out to me as research places for my work like Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan, and Galway, Ireland. Rio de Janeiro was in February, Kyoto was in April, Galway was in September, and Tokyo was in November. As I was alw...
