aaaaand I just crossed off #89-make a legit snowman
I finally did it! Last week I finally finished compiling my 101 list. You can check it out right here!
You will notice that since I’ve already knocked off 2 things from the list.
#98-Printing my list out and putting it on the fridge
#68- attend a comic con, which I blogged about yesterday.
and 1/10th of #1 which is to visit 10 states. I visited Pennsylvania for the con :)
It feels so awesome to cross something off the list. Thinking about tackling #89 today-making a snowman! You know, since there’s still a foot of snow on the ground! *dies*
I am no longer a con-virgin. Me and boyface braved the snowy roads to attend the Steel City Con yesterday. I had a blast! It was just like I imagined-toys, collectibles, comics, and nerds. I spent a lot of time staring at 80s toys. I saw a lot of toys that I had when I was a kid-cabbage patch dolls, Legos, He-man dolls, Skeletor dolls, Ninja turtles! And a shit-ton of barbies!
And of course a ton of comics. I didn’t buy any comics because the ones I wanted were all in single issues and I prefer to buy them in collections, also known as Trade Paperbacks. Saw some “famous” people. Bo Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard was there and some WWE girls. And Darth Vader was there, a few storm troopers were walking around, the joker and Harley Quinn, and randomly, some pirates. *shrug*
Oh yah! Boyface and I got a caricature made. It’s of us as Link and Zelda
Glad I got to go. And hopefully there will be more in the future. I reaaaally want to go to THE con. Comic-con, San-Diego, but tickets have been sold out forever. *sigh*
Remember when I was raving about Plants vs. Zombies? I loooove that game. I even carved one of the characters into my pumpkin for halloween! That game took up a lot of my time for a couple of months. It is addicting! I still play it from time to time, but not as much since I completed it…twice ^_^ Well, now it’s available as an app on the iPhone. If you have an iPhone, GET IT! It costs $2.99, but it’s worth it. Definitely a great way to pass the time in a long line or during some boring lecture.
Ooh OOh OOH! Another rivalry that’s worth speaking of is a pickle vs. Nickelback. It’s a silly facebook page that someone created called “Can this pickle get more fans the Nickelback” the terrible, band from Canada. I lol’d so hard when I found the group and then I invited all of my friends. Nickelback IS terrible and I wanted the pickle to get twice the number of fans as that band. The pickle doesn’t have twice as many fans, but it has surpassed the amount of fans Nickelback has. WOOOHOOO! Go, Pickle, go!
I finally started braiding my hair last night. Did a couple hours last night and some today and I have 1/4 of my head to go! Go, Pinkie, go!
Obviously that isn’t from a real comic. I made it in a generator. Go make your own at the Batman and Robin generator site. I’ve had WAAAAAY too much fun with it.

I haven’t heard back from the employers yet! The guy who interviewed me told me he’d get back to me BY Friday (yesterday) about my second interview OR to let me know that he wasn’t interested. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING! :( I’m trying to think positive-”maybe he was busy!” “maybe he will call on Monday”. It’s kind of frustrating. Don’t promise that you’ll contact me by a certain time if you aren’t sure you can do it! *sigh* I did get another job offer. It’s in retail-something I swore I would never do again, but HEY! I need money, so I will gladly take it. And in the meanwhile I’ll keep applying for other jobs. Just this morning I applied for a position as an advertising sales rep for a newspaper, something I did for a few years in college and LOVED. Hoping for the best in all of these situations.
I guess this means I can enjoy Funemployment a little while longer (the hallmark job doesn’t offer very many hours). Reading comics, watching netflix, playing video games, and NOT GOING SHOPPING! Which is probably the thing that annoys me the most. I love shopping and it’s killing me that I can’t go. Especially now that they’re putting all of the new spring clothing out *dies*. I should also take this time to spend more time at the gym or running. It’ll be summer in no time and I have to be in a bathing suit (going to a beach wedding!) . The thought of me in one right now makes me want to barf!
So, with the inspiration of a blog post from Ms. Ebony and the Couch to 5k program, I will be starting a (new?) workout plan! I run/jog occasionally, but it’s very sporadic. With the help of the couch to 5k program which includes podcasts and apps, I’m hoping to be a little less sporadic and follow the program down to a tee! I’ll update you on my first week on Sunday and I’ll start tomorrow.
Hi! My name is Soph and I’m a Con virgin.
(Hi, Soph)
I have never been to a convention (con) of any kind. I’ve always wanted to, but never had anyone that was interested in going with me or I lived too far away from any of the ones I wanted to attend (looking at you Blizz-con and Comic-Con)! Well, I’m happy to say I have found a Con near me! Steel City Con in Pittsburgh will be held next week and I can’t wait!
It’s a 3 day event, but I think I’ll just attend one day. I’m excited!!! Any tips for a Con virgin? Are there some official no-no’s? you know like the equivalent of NOT wearing a Radiohead shirt to a Radiohead concert? Let me know!
The interview went really well and I have a second interview with the owner of the company sometime this week. I’m excited and I’m pretty sure I have it, but I don’t want to jinx myself!

(p.s. I have a job interview today. Wish me luck and send good vibes my way!)
I had a great Valentine’s Day with my sweetie. He got me tons of chocolate…seriously, TONS. It will take me about 3 weeks to eat all of this chocolate and I am a chocolate fiend! We didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. We cleaned the entire apartment, played some video games, popped open a yummy bottle of wine he bought for me from Germany last fall, and finished Season 1 of Dexter. WOAH! That season was WAY intense. I loved it and am so glad i finally decided to watch it after years of saying, “naaaaah, I won’t like it”. But Dexter will always be gay David Fisher to me!
We’re starting season 2 tomorrow (no spoilers please!). Tomorrow is also 6 months for us! He planned on us celebrating with a fancy schmancy Italian dinner, but I am delaying it. Tomorrow I start the process of braiding my hair and I definitely won’t be finished by tomorrow evening. Perhaps by Wednesday or Thursday. I’ll post pics of my progress.
Oh and ch-ch-changes! If you’re a somewhat longtime reader, you know I dabble in things that some may refer to as geeky, but I refer to as FUCKING AWESOME. World of warcraft, comics, graphic novels, video games-that kind of stuff. Well, I don’t want to turn this into a niche blog, but I’m going to start posting about some of those things a lot more. Hope you don’t mind and if you do, I DON’T CARE!
So, what did you do for Valentine’s Day? Did anyone eat more chocolate than I did? Probably not :P
