April 2015 Loot Crate

Leave a comment

I like to get these every now and then XD It’s like a mini Christmas lol.

This month’s theme is Fantasy so I just haaaad to reactivate my account. I love the fantasy genre. Although, I have to admit, I was really hoping that there wasn’t any Game of Thrones-related merch in it.

XDDDDDDD

The first thing I noticed? The Princess Bride playing cards!!!! The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies/books! Haha! There are images of characters on every face card. It’s great. And I love the design on the back of the cards. I should go back and rewatch the movie or reread the book 🙂

The next thing is the Game of Thrones USB drive. I do like the design. It’s 4gbs and it looks like a head is stick out of my computer lol. Another GoT item was a pack of magnets. I really don’t know what to do with them because I’m not really into the series, but c’est la vie lol.

There’s also a Dungeons and Dragons themed bow tie and all I can say is, “Bow ties are cool.” Hahaha. I’ve always wanted a bow tie. I’ll try wearing it some time. Oh, also got an inflatable crown! I like it lol. I think I’ll try wearing it for my birthday (coming up on Star Wars Day, btw 😉 haha).

Last, but not least, the dragon ampersand shirt and a Harry Potter 9 3/4 bag tag :). I wish I had the bag tag when I went on my London trip, lol. I’m such a Potterhead hahaha.

Overall, a good crate. I’ll wait to see whether or not I want next month’s theme.

Tom Felton sorted into Gryffindor on Pottermore, J.K. Rowling responds

Yes, everyone should be sad they didn’t get into Slytherin. Or Hufflepuff. Slytherpuffs forever!!!

Lol, joking of course. I love all the houses because there’s so much good in all of them. People just seem to like to generalize Slytherins as being evil, Hufflepuffs as being stupid, Ravenclaws as being snobs, and Gryffindors as the best people in the world. There is good and bad in each house.

That being said, I’m a proud Slytherin. And everyone says I’m the nicest person they’ve ever met, haha. My best friend is a proud Hufflepuff and she’s far from stupid.

I will say this though. It takes a certain type of people to be actors. I think that’s why Felton and Lynch got Gryffindors. It’s not a bad thing. Nor am I saying that all actors are Gryffindors. I’m just saying there may be common trait somewhere there.

2015 Convention Lineup

Here is a list of the conventions I’m going to go to this year:

  1. Katsucon

    I hadn’t been to an anime convention in a while so I chose this one. Hopefully, I’ll see great cosplay! I know one of my favorite cosplayers will be going, MangoSirene. Maybe I’ll get to take pictures of some good cosplayers. I’m going to bring my DSLR and test it out ^_^ . Oh, and I hope I get to buy some great artworks!!! My favorite parts of conventions are the vendors’ room, the artist alley, and the people-watching XD
  2. HobbitCon3

    This will be my big trip of the year and possibly of my life. I’ve never been to Europe before, but I planned for this to be my geek pilgrimage or something, haha. I only had time and money to go to Germany and England, but I’m going to try to see so much in just two weeks!!! Castles, beer halls, Hobbit Con, bicycle tours, The Making of Harry Potter London Studio, Dr. Who Experience, London National Gallery, and all the typical, touristy London sites.

  3. Awesome Con

    I loved this convention last year. Haha, probably because I was accidentally one of the first people to get into the Billie Piper panel. “Accidentally” because I saw this random line forming so I figured “why not”, hahaha. I also got to use the TARDIS photo booth! XD This convention has grown huge in about a year. It had about 7,000 attendees two years ago and last year there were 40,000 attendees. It was crazy! I have NO idea how many people will attend this year around.
  4. Salute to Supernatural – 10th Anniversary

    I love Supernatural, but I’ve never been to one of these Salute to Supernatural conventions because of their location. Hopefully, it’s fun. The cast seems crazy, but fun hahaha. I’ve gotta draw some artwork for this convention for autographs.
  5. Anime USA

    Last minute addition! I figure that since this was easy to get to, I’ll be going! Hopefully, it’ll be fun. I’ve never been to this one before 🙂

I’ll be posting pictures, tweets, igs, and etc. while I’m at the conventions themselves so be on the lookout for those, I suppose. I wanted to go to other conventions too, but sadly, I just don’t have all the time or money in the world. I hope I can go to them next year in 2016 though!

  1. Calgary Expo This popped into my head and I thought “why not”. I’ve never been to Canada and the expo seems fun 😀 Will try next year.
  2. Fantasy Con I wanted to go to this one so bad this year, but I’lll just have to try for it next year.
  3. SD Comic Con I tried SOOOO FREAKIN’ HARD to get tickets to this!!! I actually had four different tickets or numbers or whatever to try to get into the online waiting room for the tickets, but alas, no luck!!! I was depressed for quite a bit….but I’m hoping my Europe trip will make up for it 😀
  4. NY Comic Con I had been going to this convention every year, but unfortunately, this year, I can’t, lol. It was New York vs Europe and I chose Europe hahaha. But this is a great con to go to.
  5. Otakon This was my first convention EVER (2008)! So I have some good memories. Unfortunately, the hotel cost just wasn’t worth it this year.
  6. CTN Animation Expo I love this expo. I might actually try to make it since it’s at the end of the year and I might have enough money by then XD

Other cons that I might also think about for future attendance: VidCon and WonderCon.
