Random update/gratitude

Actual Life
 
- Labor Day is awesome! Doris and I went out to eat and went grocery shopping and hung out finishing up The Orville. Perfect day. The Orville was so good.

- I'm especially glad that we got to eat at Handlebar Cafe. For whatever reason, they are not on any of the delivery apps. And I never feel like driving more than 15 minutes to a restaurant. But we did it, and everything at Handlebar is delicious

- Canvassed for Lauren Underwood on Saturday. It was 88 and there was no shade anywhere. I'm proud of how much I got done!

- Been sleeping great, no anxiety. In fact, I'm kinda bored in therapy....

- Lunch with parents yesterday and it was fun. They enjoyed my molasses blondies

Fandom!

- Gotta say again that the Facebook group for The 100 is seriously awesome. I love it. And someone posts this "Best Non-Romantic Duos" thing. They offered 9 choices, and every day, you can comment to eliminate one option. Sinclair and Raven have made it so far to top two. YES!!

- Other random The 100 stuff: I got 3 very nice fanfic comments this week. (One was especially good because it is from someone whose initial comments were very brief and a little odd. But her last 2 were nice and detailed and specific. Even referencing something about one of my previous fics that they liked). 

- Been rewatching The 100 with my friend Mia. I get excited every time we hit a Triple....that is, an episode will all 3 of my favorites. They are all side characters so the Triple does not happen too often.

- And Alessandro has a new role on his IMDB page. He's in one ep of The Evil in Ohio. His role is Evil Attorney. *Sigh* He was also an Evil Attorney in Maid. Dude is 46 and Asian, and so many of his roles the past 10 years or so have been doctors and lawyers. I am happy that he's like always getting gigs. But I sure wish he'd land a main role. Or at least another significant side. Or at least something other than Asshole Attorney. (Uh, the doctors he's played have been nice?)

And the big news.....I am going to Pasadena in November for an anime con that Alessandro is going to!! So, I had pretty much decided not to go (for so many reasons. It's not nearby, I'm not an anime fan, what if he cancels....) But I mentioned it Sunday when my parents were over. Mom said "I'd love to go to Pasadena!" Mom and I have traveled together before and she is an awesome travel buddy. So now, if Alessandro cancels, well then mom and I get a fun weekend. My biggest reason for not going was "What if I get to my hotel room Sunday night and feel icky that I went all that way to get 5 minutes (or no minutes) with Alessandro." But that worry is gone now.

AND the con organizers told me via email that he MIGHT be on a second panel too. They said he'll be there both days, so I assume I just need to line up early for his autograph.

I've worked out what I want to ask/say to him....something to convey that on the 100 FB and Reddit groups, Sinclair is still very popular.

My wild fantasy is to go there cosplayed as Raven. (The character who was like a niece to Sinclair). But....

- I'm older than Alessandro
- Yeah let's have the 49 year old cosplay a character who is like 19
- One who was played by a gorgeous actress. I'm not
- Also....how do you make costumes? <g>
- Also, Raven wears a leg brace, and should someone who is not disabled do so?

But it would make a cool pic with Alessandro. Do I try it??
