So Comic Con is over again for another year…. *weep*
You may of guessed that this is going to be a COMIC CON
THEMED POST WAHEY!
I’ll started with mentioning that I haven’t been online much
at all of late as I have been rather unwell all week. Last Monday I felt like I
had caught a nasty head cold a colleague had. No worries I thought it is only
Monday. Tuesday felt a little worse and Wednesday I felt terrible and went
home. Thursday I did feel a little better but very stuffed up but was still hopeful
for the weekend. However Friday I was even worse and again went home from work.
I slept in the afternoon and woke up and burst into tears as I just didn’t want
to go at all.
However I went to bed at 9am and woke up at 6am and made
myself get ready. It took me much longer to get ready and organised and we
headed off. Got our pretzel for breakfast and I had a coffee and we were there
by 8:30ish. I went on a mission of a walk to find a cash machine and then we
were in around 9:30 (door opened at 9am)
We had a little look around stalls and my photo shoot was at
10:25. I wanted to get the morning one as I felt so rough I didn’t know what I
would look like by the afternoon. Had that done and I was super pleased with
the photo! I most likely stunk of olbas oil as I had been walking round
sniffing a tissue covered in it.
I am really happy with the photo though. I was so excited to
meet David Hewlett, I have always said he would be one of the ultimate people I
would like to meet.
We then found the photo area with the Game of Thrones, throne
and I had my photo taken on that! Again I was pretty pleased with the photo I
thought it looked pretty cool, even though I look a little like a puppet in the
picture. Ha ha!
We then attempted to go to the stalls to find a plastic
folder to put my photos in and it was soo rammed. We did find one and then we
went outside to cool down a bit although at this point the sun had come out and
it was baking. We went to the shop round the corner to get some water and on
the way there my nose suddenly cleared (it was a fairly gross event involved me
swallowing it yuck!). I suddenly felt 100x better and all the pressure in my
face was gone. I was so pleased I wanted to tell the people in the shop about
it ahah! I had to take painkillers all day to get the headache and crappy
feeling at bay, but it was far more bearable that feeling like your face might
pop any moment now.
We then headed to the Sherlock talk. We queued for about an
hour and tbh we were really disappointed. The speakers were awful and we couldn’t
hear a word they said or any questions asked. It was a shame and I’m VERY glad
I didn’t pay for that!
After we headed out for lunch and I had a delicious salad
from subway. My tummy had stared aching from all the pain killers I had been
taking but some Gaviscon helped that a lot. I would have the salad from Subway
again though it was really nice.
Afterwards we went and did all the stalls. It was so crammed
we could barely move of see. We didn’t get much, I got some badges (to replace
old ones I lost) and a print and key ring. I also got Jon Snow Pop Funko and a
GoT necklace which I loved and for £5 I thought was a bargain. Matt also got a
book which I’m pleased about as he usually doesn’t get anything.
I then talked myself into have a autograph with David
Hewlett. I usually wouldn’t do both but he is quite a special person for me to
meet and he wasn’t doing a talk so Matt talked me into it! There was about an
30-60minute wait so we went an had an ice cream and went back. Luckily we
planned it perfectly as we were the LAST people to get one done.
I’m so glad and excited I did it though. His voice was going
but he was really friendly and seemed so pleased to be there and meet me. He
asked if I had meet many other cool people and I said tbh I was just here to
meet him and then I told him that A Dog’s Breakfast was one of my favourite movies
and he said it was so much fun to make and he wanted to do a second one and I
said he should and he said Yes I KNOW I SHOULD :D

It’s a big thing as usually I can’t ever think of anything
to say and I always wish I could!
We then poked round the stalls as it was gone 5pm now and it
was getting quieter and we could have a proper look and at 6 we joined the
queue for the GoT screening.
The screening was a little disappointing. There was meant to
be a ‘special guest’ but they did turn up. The seats were also so small that
Matt ended up in agony he said it ruined the whole day that made me a little
sad. I have to say I was a little disappointed but it didn’t ruin my day at
all.
The cast were quite funny but the episode they picked didn’t
have them in it much so they didn’t have that much to say alas.
We then headed off and had pizza express which was lovely
and we were home about midnight! It was a long day up at 6am and back at
midnight!
I have post con blues a bit at the moment. I am still a
little out of it as on Sunday I felt pretty rough again. I thought it was
because I over did it on Saturday but Sunday night my ears started to bleed a
bit again and they were blocked and I was in a lot of pain. A trip to the
doctors and I have ear infection in both ears and a sinus infection. I’m on antibiotics
at the moment but I’m not completely with it at the moment. I can’t wait to
feel better it has been over a week now alas!
We have a 'Secret Screening' at the cinema tonight so I am looking forward to that! Luckily I feel well enough I think to do that. Well I hope so anyway!
Not looking forward to when post con blues hit but I had another amazing Comic Con and I can't wait for October to do it all again now!
