Questions for April 6 and 7

LOL I swear, I should only take questions for every OTHER day. Yesterday I had my Star Wars club meeting, then we went for a run, and then we had dinner and watched Bob's Burgers...and then I fought with HBO Go for an hour and got mad and found a way to watch Game of Thrones elsewhere. Good stuff, but damn HBO better have it's act together next week. Silly them, how could they not expect EVERYONE to log in??

QUESTIONS!

rogueslayer452 asked Would you consider yourself a patient person? How are you in social confrontations (debates/arguments/people yelling at you/etc.)? Are you better with online conversations/debates than in real life? -- Patience is not one of my best virtues. I can wait for things, but I'm never happy about it LOL. I am not really good at planning ahead and such so I think that is part of it. I want things to happen now. I can't stand political red tape etc. Just make it so!

Social confrontations are a weird thing for me. I have debates with friends all the time about fandom and such. I think I'm okay, sometimes I look for a discussion topic and no one wants to discuss LOL. I do find that, under pressure, I am pretty good at stepping up. Like, I don't *want* to confront the drunk guy in the library or the crazy man yelling, but I will if I have to, I will step up. I don't enjoy it, but I can do it.

thekaiserchief asked Do you have a favorite memory from a particular period of your life? -- I have lots of memories! I guess most recently I have been thinking a lot about the trip to Liverpool with my family when I was 18 and my brother was...hm, I guess 11? It was a lot of fun, sort of a dream come true, and I remember we just enjoyed spending the day wandering around the town and going on the tour. I have some cute photos of my brother and I. We were flipping through the scrapbook when he visited for my birthday party. I think 18 is a pretty crazy time, that big step from teenager to a true young adult. I was still pretty clueless, but I was having fun haha. I am so grateful for all the experiences my parents gave me, especially letting me visit such a "sacred" place, even though we had to take the train from London.

add another 30 seconds to my 15 minutes

Do you have a Netflix streaming account?

Go find the movie "Drew: The Man Behind the Poster". It's a documentary about artist Drew Struzan, the man who drew many of the iconic Star Wars and Indiana Jones posters, along with the first two Harry Potter posters.

If you have the time, you can watch the movie and enjoy the inspirational story.

If you don't have time, fast forward (what is the digital term??) to about an hour and twenty seven minutes in (I think you should see George Lucas talking to Drew at this point about a Darth Maul painting).

ANYWAY right after that, they cut to a sign of Comic-Con and you see a bunch of fans wandering around.

AND THEN YOU SEE ME!!!!!!!!!

YES! Back in 2010 when I went to Comic-Con, I was standing by the Drew Struzan autograph table, trying to figure out when I could get the book signed and these guys came up to me and said they were doing a documentary on Drew Struzan and would I like to answer a few questions. Of COURSE I said yes, I LOVE Struzan's work. So I fangirled for a bit, concentrating as hard as I could so I didn't sound like a total dufus (which means I speak clearly but tend to make FACES). And then I sort of forgot about it because, hey, that was 2010 and who knows how many people think they are going to make documentaries while at Comic-Con.

But it turns out these guys did! And they used footage of me not once but TWICE at the end. AW YEAH!!!!!!!

Thank goodness for my geeky guys in the Star Wars Collecting Club. I had no idea this was even out yet and then I went to the meeting on Sunday and they told me about it. :)
