IF YOUR NAME IS KRISTINE, CLOSE YOUR BROWSER AND DON'T COME BACK FOR A WEEK
Well, now that this whole engagement thing is slowing down now, I'll put up some of my Wizard Convention pictures. What I'll start out with is meeting Michael Rosenbaum, Lex Luthor from the WB's Smallville. Before leaving for the convention, my dad asked me what I do at these things. He find comic books a very weird habit for a girl to have (as most people do). So I told him that I get to meet the guys that write the books, the artists, and go to workshops. I showed him the sketches that I had gotten, and he was slightly impressed. Then I told him that Luke Perry was going to be there (promoting his show Jeremiah). My mom was like 'Who's that?' and I said 'That guy from 90210'. And she got all giddy and said, 'Oh, I like him!' I also said that Michael Rosenbaum would be there. And it was dad's turn to say 'Who is that?' and I replied, 'He's Lex Luthor from Smallville'. And my dad's face lit up and he said, 'Are you going to meet him?' and I replied 'I'm going to try and get an autograph for Kristine (our cousin in Texas, her sister Kathy wants to surprise her with an autograph)'. So my dad says, 'When you meet him, tell him that your dad told you to tell him 'I like you in Smallville. I think that you're a really great actor.' Dude, I didn't even know that he watched the show! So I get to the con, and the line was already capped to meet Michael. But for the second signing time, at 4, me and Fatima got a spot in line. Unfortunately, he wasn't personalizing pictures anymore. So when we got up there, I had the 8x10 that Kathy bought for Kristine, and I asked him to sign it. As he was signing, I said, 'My dad told me to tell you that he likes you a lot. He thinks you're a great actor.' I wasn't really expecting him to say anything back. But he then said, 'Cool! Where's he at?', to which I replied, 'He's not here, he's not into comics'. And then Fatima took a picture of me and Michael. I said thanks, and before I left, he said, 'Hey, tell your dad that I said HI'. I thought Michael was cute before, but he's even cuter in my eyes now! So after that, I called up my dad and told him about the exchange. My dad was pretty excited. It was really cute. Then he asked me, 'Did you get me his autograph?'. What a funny guy. I told him I'd make a scan of the one I got for Kristine and he was happy with that.

Still got the ring. Day 6 and I have not lost it yet.
