FanExpo Toronto 2012 (For Marni)

Let me tell you about the fabulous Toronto FanExpo. As usual, there were so many people I wanted to meet but never had the opportunity but that's okay, as I wouldn't have traded that day for anything. My list of Celebs included; Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery, James Marsters, Juliet Landau, Julie Benz, AJ Cook, Matthew Gray Gubler, Kirsten Vangsness and Rose McGowan. There were other big names there but I wasn't interested in meeting them. My main concern was the Boondock Saints and the Buffy peeps. My first stop was with the lovely and charming Norman Reedus. He was so much fun and hawt! I asked him to sign my boob for Marni which he very willingly and happily did. He also took my digital camera and took some self portraits. Again, I can't say I had a problem with it. Next stop, was Sean Patrick Flanery. I've never seen a more beautiful man in my life. His eyes were absolutely gorgeous and again, I asked him to sign my boob. We had some pictures taken of him signing "my lovely flesh" - his words not mine. I look just a little too happy to have his autograph across my chest. His full name took up most of my collar bone. With the Boondock Saints completed, I had to meet James Marsters so there would be no repeat of the incident that occurred two years ago when I missed him and spent 8 hours crying my eyes out. Yes, I was one of those girls. But that was two years ago, I've grown and matured since then. I didn't have my picture taken with Juliet Landau unfortunately as the Saints and James broke the bank. I spent my bus fare home, paying for an autograph from James Marsters who told me I have "excellent taste." The year before I had met a Buffy fan who was in her late 40's - early 50's and she told me horrible things about James Marsters so I was somewhat hesitant to meet him, however, he was great. But this "fan" and I had some heated debates over Buffy trivia and the characters. It was close to getting ugly, my mom had to stand between her and me. Also, I didn't want to cause too much of a scene in front of Robert Englund last year. Everything she said about James was WRONG. Just WRONG, as I suspected. He was pleased to meet me - his words not mine. I had my picture taken with him, however he was not allowed to bite me or even pretend to bite me. He never explained why he "isn't allowed to bite people anymore." He said he could make a scary face but he did the same pose as Robert Englund and I quickly said, "No, you can't do that Robert Englund did that last year." So he looks a little shocked that I bossed him around but hey if I have to pay for the picture, it better be the way I want it. I had so many questions but lost my entire train of thought when I met the celebs, they were so much fun. It was a great time. Last year I had a list of questions in my back pocket. I think I should do that again for 2013. I never asked Norman Reedus about where in Nova Scotia that All Saints Day was filmed. I never asked him what;s going on with him and Carol on the Walking Dead. I never told him that as a redneck he is still absolutely hawt! But I did ask Sean Patrick Flanery to drop a toilet from my roof on to my neighbor, he said "you do what you gotta do." So I received full permission from Sean to drop a toilet on my neighbor whom I hate. I've met Julie Benz before and she is so sweet. I can't even describe her. She's just nice. We went to line up to meet her again but we were informed that she was done for the day so we left. We checked out some merchants as FanExpo always had the best stuff. This is the first year I haven't come home with t-shirts but like I said the Saints and James broke the bank. Completely missed the Criminal Minds team and couldn't get anywhere near Rose McGowan. Didn't even catch a glimpse of her. However, I did catch a glimpse of Stan Lee who had his own private booth and you had to buy ridiculously over priced tickets in advance to meet him. So long Spiderman. At the end of a very long day filled with long lines and over priced junk food we headed for home. We took the elevator up to the main floor of the convention center and who should get in the elevator with us...Ms. Julie Benz. This time, I wasn't so graceful as I said "Holy Crap! Julie Benz is in the elevator with us!" She shook my hand and I told her I started watching Dexter again but only because she had given me permission to in 2010. I made sure she knew it was only because she gave me permission. The perfect way to end the day. Sharing an elevator with Julie Benz. Before we headed for the bus station we had to take a picture of how successful my day was, meaning a picture of my chest. I am very proud of it. And completely in love with Norman. I can't wait for Season 3 of The Walking Dead. So excited. FanExpo is a double edged sword though, you wait all summer for it and then when it comes, it means it's the end of summer. So I try to keep the celebrity high for as long as possible. Don't worry, no autographs were tattooed to my skin. If I get one more tattoo, my mother will kill me and I will be homeless. She wasn't pleased with the large shamrock made of celtic knots on my back. Technically I have four,but only three are visible as one is covered up by another tattoo. Anyways, that has nothing to do with FanExpo, but here enjoy some pictures of the Saints.
