Here is Claire (My Booster Bash Buddy) and me at the dance the first night. She's slightly british, but don't fault her for that, fault her for the fact that she now lives in Texas. 

This is me at the Cemetary where much of Buffy is filmed. Morbid much? 

Vegas Baby!

Went to Vegas this weekend and had buckets of fun. Me, Mike and Marie saw Blue Man, which I had seen twice before, but it was just as good seeing it the third time. The best part was Mike's reaction to everything. Classic. He was laughing and hollering and singing and it was a pleasant evening. I also saw the most amazing show that ever was. It is Cirque Du Solei's new show at the MGM, Ka. It is like no other Cirque Du Solei that I have ever seen. It was all martial arts and really different, complete with snow and shadow puppets. I would see it again, I would see it five times and it would be new every time because there is just so much to look at. It was amazing. In conclusion, I like Vegas, I love my parents for taking me, and I love my brothers and sisters for being chums to hang out with.
I have realized that in my family, all of us siblings are very close. We are friends and we like hanging out with each other and even choose to do it of our own accord without parental forcing. My sisters and I are very tight knit. I don't know what I would do with out my two best friends of Marie and Sarah. I get along pretty well with the sister in laws too. Jill and I are good friends. I scrapbook with her once a month and I see her for vampire game as well. I like being chumy with siblings. I dislike contention, and I can't imagine my family being one of those ones where the siblings go and get married and only talk to each other on Christmas and Easter. No thanks, me, Sarah and Marie have a plan. We are going to live together in our old age after our husbands have died and Marie will have cats and Sarah will have imaginary friends and I will have food. It is a good plan.

Kelli, Clare Kramer, and me. She is very little, but nice. Funny story, the day before this she was wearing a sun dress and the strap broke. It was funny because the same thing happened on the set of Buffy. She shouldn't wear straps. 

Me and Seth freaking Green. How flipping cool is that? 

Me and Adam Baldwin. I'm standing next to Jayne! He's my favorite. 

Me and Ron GLASS! Ignore the doublechinniness. 

The girls at Comic Con. Or rather two blocks from Comic Con in front of a bunch of water and palm trees. I'm the tall one. 

SARAH WINS!

The count is in and Sarah wins the Becky's sayings contest with a whopping 26 correct answers!
And now, the surprise prize is....THIS PICTURE OF A HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL!
I know, it is an awesome prize, but if you are not satisfied with it, you can take what is behind door number one, or A SHINY PENNY! Which I could not find a picture of, so please see me for your prize if a shiny penny is chosen.
I'd like to thank everyone for participating. You all did a fine job and showed your knowing Becky skills. I'm so proud.
I would like to invite the crowd to either praise or shun Sarah for her winnings and invite all to tell a little about Sarah and maybe throw out some of her sayings.
Thanks for playing, NAME-THAT-SAYING!
Good afternoon, good morning and goodnight.

Marie is in the Lead

Seeing as how Marie is in the lead in the "Becky's Sayings" contest, I decided to tribute her by putting some of my favorite Marie sayings.
"LITTLE!"
"Becky you need to clean"
"Ba-by"
"Shnookle lookle look look"
"Chwistian"
"Millie!"-Since Millie is her favorite, she does say her name an awful lot and she says it with the same intonation.
"Hmm"(In a snooty sort of defiance tone)
Okay, that is all I can think of currently. But since I have power to change my post at will, when I think of more, I will post.

LANS! When was the last time I posted?

I've fully prepared myself for a flogging with a ritual witch burning afterward for my lack of bloggingness. Okay, so much has happened since my last post. For one, I've been to Serenity again, the final of all final versions and I loved it even more than the first two times that I saw it. In addition, I also went to Comic Con and met the entire cast of Serenity minus Alan Tudyk, plus Joss Whedon. It was rollicking good fun. I also got to see David Boreaneaz, Charisma Carpenter and got an autograph from Seth Green. I saw Amber Benson and Nick Brendon too, but I have seen them before, so it was like a repeat. I'm so tired from my jaunt to Comic Con down in San Diego, I can only hope to recover with either tons of sleep or no sleep whatsoever. We will just have to see which one will win.
In addition, be sure to congradulate my adorable and highly moneybags sister Marie on buying her second home. She moves in this weekend and I am looking for roomies, so if you want to live with me in Marie's condo, speak now or forever sleep in the dark! Oh, but girls only, sorry Justin. Until I find roomies I am all alone in the condo which is going to be the opposite of fun and without Lisa to keep me alternative company, I'm not really sure what I am suppose to do with myself! I Miss You Like Pancakes Lisa! So wish me luck in my new condo adventures.
Further more, I'm going to Booster Bash next week, which I am kinda regretting now because I'm all conventioned out for the summer, but nonetheless, I am going. It will be rollicking fun with a dash of cinnamin I am sure.
Now onto the main event, which is Me polling the crowd. I've got through many sayings in my time, my latest being "flip," "fliberty gibbet," and "lans!" So, as an audience poll, I want you to recap Becky sayings, I know I have many, so name as many as you can. And the person that can name the most Becky sayings acurately, gets a prize. (Prize is a surprise).
Ready...
Set...
GO!!!

Serenity Screening Report

Okay this is my NON-SPOILER report. So for those of you who saw the movie with me, NO spoilers.
I had a blast last night, although I am still reeling from the lack of lots of sleep. Everything went splendidly last night with the exception of some of the Serenity flans lacking in enthusiasm and love for Joss Whedon. But I had fun, the movie was wonderful, I'm glad that all my family and friends that I invited could make it. And I'll report other stuff later because I have to get back to work.
Joss Whedon Rocks!

Becky-

My sister Marie and me waiting in line. You can kinda see the T-shirts that I made. Marie's incorrectly says "I can kill you with my brain" and mine says crashing Fandango. 

My Brother Jake and his wife Jill came to the screening as well. They are native Firefly fans. They saw it when it was originally on TV and liked it. Now that is dedication. 

Me, Kelli, Nat, and Monique. It was great to have all of my original Con buddies there, especially my not so seen ones Kelli and Monique. Monique looked so pretty! 

This is me taking a picture of myself. I'm pale, but look at my cool button. 

This is Nat and I in front of the Theater. I kinda look like a freak of nature, but what are you gonna do? 

Salt Lake Serenity Screening. Classic. This is the banner with not so many signatures. Ignore the tacky donation cup. 

Only You Can Save Toby!

Justin tipped me off to this site and i believe it to be a noble cause. Toby is the cutest bunny in the world and I don't want him to die. I call upon my friends who are truest and dearest to me to gather strengths to save this little rabbit from inevitable death. So please, click on the title link and find out about Toby and I hope that your heart will reach out to him as mine has. Hold on Toby, hold on! You have the heart of a champion!

Tragic update! Toby's site was gotten! For unknown reasons, someone wants Toby to die and they have torn down his site to do so. Why? Why do people want Toby to die? I ask you this. Who would tear down Save Toby to lead to his inevitable death? It is a sad sad world we live in. Don't give up hope readers, continue to try to access SaveToby.com and maybe, just maybe, we can still save Toby.

For those of you who don't know already. Toby is a bunny. And Toby is going to be eaten on the 30th of June 2005 if the owner doesn't raise $50,000 by that date. The owner of the bunny will eat him. And it will be all our faults because the money wasn't raised. Toby has 10 days left to live and there is only 28,000 dollars raised. And I know that with my help and with your help, we can still save the little guy from an early death.

SERENITY

Okay, so on June 23rd, I am making that trek once again to Serenity. Only the trek will be more of a meander and it will cost a lot less. To the fortunate few who I have given or sold tickets to, I hope that you are as excited as I am to go and see this wonderful movie. It was good the first time and I am sure the second time it will dazzle and amaze me just as much. Oh and for those of you who are coming with me, i.e. MIKE, you darn well better be on time or I swear I will sell your ticket to the first passer by so that I won't be late getting into the movie! Beware!
Oh and Serenity rocks!

T-Shirt Ideas

Okay, I had an inspiration. Nat and I need T-shirt ideas for our Serenity experiences. So, I found a site to help us out and I created a T-shirt that signifies the Serenity pre-experience. Click on the title to see the shirt.
Other possible ideas:
Joss is Boss
I worship Joss Whedon
Joss is my master

Other ideas are welcome.

Can Someone hit me with a Car Please?

Is there such a thing as ridiculously tired? It seems that that is what I am, ridiculously tired. I sleep at night at least a good 6 1/2 to 7 hours and then on weekends I get even more sleep because I sleep in to unspeakable hours and yet I am still exhausted. I don't think there is ever a way to catch up on sleep. I will forever be tired forever. I'm just waiting for that day when I wake up and there is no grogginess or impending doom of the day to come, but rather a light and elated feeling. But alas that that has not occured as of recent. I feel that someone should be blamed for this and it is the sandman. Either he is using too much sand on me or not enough and he should really be beaten into submission like that one time on Power Puff Girls. But there are no more Power Puff Girls because Sarah dyed her hair purple and Bubbles is lost to us. I hope you are happy Sarah!
Well maybe what we really should do is have an audition for new superheros to save me from the sandman. So take a number, get in line and strut your superheroey stuff.

My Lack of Photoshoppin Skills

Okay, Natalie may have out photoshopped me because I don't actually have photoshop and I just used Microsoft Picture editor, but I take this as a challenge. A challenge for bigger and better posts. For it is difficult to post the Ego Con, but I will find a way, oh yes, I will. You wanna know why? Because I have a team, a team that has, granted, abandoned me long ago, but this dream team can come back to life, with avengence at the click of a mouse. So you beware Natalie Ashton! Because just as you can defile my family with excellent spouts of Photoshoppiness, I can destroy all that you hold dear to you. I can exploit you with pictures of you in a not very good light, which I would never do because you have far more embarrassing pictures of me, but I have the best plan ever. So beware...beware!
The storm is coming.

Ask And You Shall Recieve

I believe that there was a request for something new. But I have nothing new to talk about, so I will merely rant upon the old.
I HATE STARWARS... IN GENERAL! I mean people make a really big hype about the movies and they go on and on and go crazy/obsessed with it, and I just don't get it. I saw the old movies and they were okay to watch once, but then they are just boring, not to mention corny. Then I saw the new movies, again once, and they were more corny and the only thing that saved them was the hotness of Ewan McGregor, which was even brought down a few notches because he has a beard and disguises his accent, plus he doesn't sing. So really the new movies have the resemblence of Ewan McGregor. And frankly, that just aint enough for me.
The thing that I fear most for the movie that came out today is Haden Christensen. His whole, "I'm so mad, I'm so mad." thing; only comes off as a whiny child. Granted, maybe he is suppose to be portraying a whiny child, but Who wants to watch that?
In addition, the folley that was Jar Jar Binks. Need I saw more?
Unstable plot lines, corny lines, bad acting, lemmings, and George Lucas are what make these movies no good.
Becky has spoken.

Music that I need

Well, ever since Natalie got Bear Share, I have been trying to think of music that I want, so I decided to post it.
I want:
Finger 11, Lincoln Park, Damien Rice, Modest Mouse, Jack Johnson, Numa Numa song, The Calling, Michael Buble, Radio Head, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins (selected songs), Cake, Hilary Duff(Shut up!), Whedonverse mix, Cold Play Scientist, Michelle Branch, Remy Zero, Vanessa Carlton, Switchfoot, Bowling for Soup, Greenday (newest), Alanis Morissette, 3rd eye Blind, and Natalie Embrouglia(or however it is spelled).
That is all that I could think of right now, but I would really appreciate further suggestions in music choice. So, yell out some music that you think I should steal or I mean, get.

Joss freaking Whedon! 

Summer Glau. She looks so pretty when she is not River. 

Joss Freaking Whedon and Serenity

Okay! I have returned from Vegas, finally! Or I returned two days ago and was just too lazy to post before this point. On to the movie review. (spoiler free)
Well! After getting lost only a little, Natalie found Vegas and the Palms where the movie was playing. Although we were an hour and a half early, the line for the movie had already grown. We got in line and waited and talked with other Browncoats and got free Serenity buttons and keychains while I called the credit card company and changed my account because I, being the genius that I am, lost my credit card on the trip down. Anyway... a camera crew soon arrived and began filming and interviewing the fans in line. Nat and I were not interviewed, but we were in the background of one interview, so I think that that counts for something at least. One guy had a Jayne hat and that was just fan tabulous! Or a word that isn't lame. We were led into the theater about a half hour before, and searched for video equipment as we went in. I am sad to inform you all that Natalie lost her sharpie in that search. It was tragic!
Once in the theater, we were surrounded by people who were as much of freaks as we were. We met some people who had been on set during filming and I was jealous a lot. They had pictures.
About three minutes before the movie started, we noticed the camera crew filming the entrance to the theater. This intrigued us because 'what were they filming?' After a little suspense, Joss Whedon and Summer Glau walked into our theater! Joss freaking Whedon, the writer/director of our movie was in the theater with us. Shocked! All I could do was stand there with my mouth wide open while pointing frantically and trying to clap. I'm sure it was an amusing picture. Joss is shorter than I first thought, but just as handsome as I expected. He went to the front of the theater and said a few words, which for the life of me I can't remember, but I blame it on the shock. Summer said hello too. Joss actually introduced himself as he was about to come onto the big screen for his video introduction of the movie. He moved to the entry way of the theater again and all eyes followed him. Once noticing this, he ducked down behind the wall and then peaked out in a Jossesque antic fashion. That guy cracks me up.
We then saw big Joss as he introduced the screening. Unfortunately the intro was for the screening only, so for all you losers who are seeing the movie in September, you probably won't see it until it hits DVD. But I will give you a blurb from what I remember. Joss said that Firefly was the basis of the movie 'Serenity' and that Firefly was revered as the most cancelled show ever by many. And that cancelled shows don't get made into movies, but because of the devotion of the fans and Universals belief in Joss, they were able to make a movie. Joss incouraged us to tell everyone we know about the movie if we liked it, but that if we didn't like it, then it was a quite time for us. Joss and Summer, I believe, watched the movie with us fans and that was intimidating and exciting. I mean, how often is it that a group of fans gets to watch a movie with the writer/directer and the female star sitting right there. I only hope that our reactions were what they expected.
The movie started, the picture was somewhat grainy and the sound was a little off, but the storyline was exciting and moved along the entire time. There wasn't a time during the movie that I wasn't entranced with what was happening. Joss in typical Joss fashion, takes the viewer with him, into his world and allows the audience to be involved in the storyline. I laughed, I cried, it was the best movie I have seen all year. (Yes baby, I liked it even more than Phantom, but I am slightly biased)
When the movie finished, I believe that we cheered, but it is difficult to say because I was crying like a very tall baby. But I cry at just about every movie, so that is nothing new. They set up tables and announced that Joss and Summer would be signing autographs. Freaked I was! I mean, I spend hundreds of dollars on going to Buffy Conventions and more money on buying autographs from the stars and here I was, in the presence of Joss Whedon and I was going to get his autograph without having to pay anything except the $10 I paid to get into the movie. I was happy and disgruntled. But mostly just happy. Nat and I got Summer autograph first on a little Serenity flyer/memorabilia type thing and I told Summer that she kicked but in the movie and she said that it was fun. Then Nat asked for a picture with Joss and she stood by him, but I didn't know how to work her camera phone, so it didn't work and we started freaking out and Joss told us, "It's okay guys, don't stress out." Which you would think it would be embarrassing, but it was more like, "Joss Whedon is speaking to us! *drool*" So then we had to move away from the table after Nat got a quick shot of just Joss on her phone and I yelled at him for something that he did in the movie that I was not happy with because, of course, when I am seeing the man that I idolize, I yell at him like a big freak. But Joss made a joke and said that it was Summer's idea to do the thing that I was mad about and that he wanted to go another way, but Summer insisted. That Joss is a riot!
Well, we promptly left the theater after that because we were in states of shock and were not thinking. We should have stayed, but we are dumb.
And that was it, the movie screening was great and I now miss Vegas and revere it as the city that I met Joss Whedon in. It was a good night.

The month of May has Mother's Day, Memorial Day, and Faith! Here is the May calendar. Not that anyone looks at it or cares, but here it is all the same. Pretend to enjoy! 

There it is then. Mine is a sad imitation. Probably because she is computer graphics and colorfied. Alas. 

This is Ashe. I drew her in my free time at work and I didn't make up the design, I stole it from the upcoming videogame Final Fantasy XII. But I kinda hate FF because there is no official release date yet for the game and I'm dying over here. I'm just saying. If you want to see the real pic. Then I will post it. 

Attention All Cat Haters

Well I have found one of the most time wasting, yet entertaining games out there. I bring you Kitten Canon! For all those of you who hate cats or just like a little bit of entertainment, well here it is in the form of launching a computerized kitten out of a canon. That is right! You can launch a poor defenseless and somewhat mishapen kitten out of a canon and watch it fly! Try to beat my top score of 1,717feet. Try the game and blog your scores. Just click on the title of this blog to reach the link.

Guess who it is. If you do, then you get a pretty gold start or a cookie, either one. Good luck! Natalie, you don't get to guess. 

SERENITY!!!!!

SERENITY!!!! Me and possibly Natalie are going to VEGAS BABY! To see the advanced screening of "Serenity," Joss Whedon's new film that tells the story of his short lived, yet addicting series "Firefly." When I saw the trailer, only two days ago, I knew that I would have to go and see that film, and now I am! On May the Fifth, me and my guest will be driving down to Vegas to see Serenity! I am more than thrilled and I will be forced to point, laugh and mock to all those who are not attending the screening, be very jealous of me. VEGAS BABY!

Gotta Keep Up!

I give! Natalie is better at keeping her blog updated and that is all there is to it. Not to mention that really only Nat and I comment on each other's blogs, where we could just call each other on the phone; it is time for a change! More people will come and comment on my blog and those people will be real and not just me using a different name! In addition, Natalie is in no way cooler than me, but she is quite pretty!
So to all you people of the world, come, visit, comment, mock, share, ect...
Becky has spoken-

And here we are posing for a picture with our Con friends. Don't we look special? I believe this is pre 'Becky destroys her hair via dance' 

Woot! Here is Natalie and I with friends we made at the Con, they are as weird as Nat and I. 

I want to be like Natalie

I want to be like unto Natalie, so I am posting pictures too because she is like my idol.

My personal favorite picture of James and me. I was so nervous to ask for this pose that it took me two pics to get up the gusto. I am so glad that I did though because he was really nice and told me that I could and I think it turned out really well. 

Andy and Me on Saturday. I forgot a necklace and I am still kicking myself for it. 

Sunday Picture with Amber. I forgot to take off my sweater, so I look like a black blob. But that is her actual size. 

Here is my Saturday Picture with James 

I Have Returned Triumphant!

Houston WAS AWESOME!
I have returned, tired, dizzy, hungry and with a serious crick in my neck, but I loved Houston! Okay, the city didn't really mean that much to me, but the convention was great! I really only left the hotel twice; once to go across the street to Subway and the other time to go to the airport, so Houston remains a mystery to me, but it doesn't matter because the Con was great!
I got to have pictures with James Marsters, Andy Hallet, Amber Benson, Jonathan Woodward, James Leary, Jenny Molen, and Camden Toy, so like everyone! And the James Concert was great! I believe that the concert was the highlight for me. Loved the banquet, loved the Q&A, loved the dances, loved Froggy's parties. Natalie and I made tons of new friends, Natalie got a wedding proposal, I got a proposition to be mistress to the same man who proposed to Natalie. We danced like mad, partied with Amber Benson, ate little and slept less. Here are some pics for now and a full report yet to come.
