The Girl With The Eyes

You guys a Nordstoms Rack opened right down near my house recently, so we thought we'd stop in to check it out and see what it was like and all of that. I've only ever been to the one up north which I liked, but it's so far away living down on the South side and all that.

I swear I'm going to end up spending all my money on shoes there. I was just trying some on because I can't resist trying on shoes, I just love it and I ended up falling madly in love with a pair and had to get them. I need to get paid again so I can afford some more, seriously.

( Just look )

And now that we've heard from teh jenn It's time for a recap of the Mal's day:

1. Wake up too dang early at 7:30. Shower dressed picked out clothes for later and got everything thrown in my car. And I leave the house and then 2 minutes down the road I realize I've left my directions, and so I have to turn around and get those before I go get gas for my car. And then I hit the road around 8:45.

2. Stupid long drive, though not as long as when I drive to Austin. But there was all this stupid construction on the way taking the highway down to one lane in either direction and the speed limit down to 60. And so I actually had to go the speed limit, unlike when it's 70 and I can go 75.

3. And I made it to Fort Worth, without getting lost at all (go me!) and I even made it to the Chili's to meet fate_envies_us (the Jenn, of course) and Betsy. And we had lunch/breakfast and it was fun, and Jenn and I teased each other like we usually do and Betsy was really nice. And we talked about Supernatural and how much in love we are with Jensen.

4. And then having finished around noonish we decided to head over to Casa Manana, which was only like 4 blocks up the street, so we got some excellent parking and we went and took silly pictures of the sign by the street of Jensen's Name, and the Show, and Lou Diamond Phillps. And it amused me greatly when we met another fan as we were taking pictures with the sign, who had the same idea we did.

It was amazing to me, all these SPN/Jensen fans coming out to support him and see him in this play. This is the first time I've ever done anything in person with fandom people, so it was pretty awesome - to talk about fandom stuff outloud, ha!

5. And so we had all this time to wait and I was still in my driving clothes, so I needed to change but we couldn't get in to the bathrooms at the Casa, so I was brave and went and changed out in my car, in to my adult clothes and shoes. And then we waited in the vestibule thingie until they opened the door.

6. And then we went inside, and used the bathrooms, because there was no way we were going to leave during the show for something as silly as having to pee. And so with that taken care of we hung out in the lobby, looking for the girl in the pink shirt and white skirt (aka surrexi - Besty spotted her first. And so we met Liz and Gabe and we all talked for a while before the theater doors opened. And then we all split up, Betsy and Jenn going one way, Gabe and Liz going another and then me all by my lonesome.

7. And so we waited for the show to start, and it again amused me the amount of people there just to see Jensen. Everyone around me was talking about him, and what acting he'd done before this and what show's he's been in and some of them talked about stuff he does in A Few Good Men, and it was just highly entertaining to me.

8. And then it started.

9. So I thought going up to Fort Worth today that I liked Jensen Ackles, that I was amazingly excited to see him in this play, and just all this stuff. But the minute he was on stage, I was in love, it was just so awesome, he was an amazing actor and so beautiful. I have a whole new appreciation for that man now after seeing this play. He was so good, even when he fumbled his lines occasionally, and rushed some of them - he was just awesome.

I am so glad that Jenn pressured me into getting a ticket.

10. And then came intermission, where Jenn, Betsy and I joined up again, this time joined by deanlicious and she was lovely and nice, and can I just tell you all how much I loved getting to meet up with lj people in real life - I want to meet you all now.

11. And then the rest of the play was just as amazing and wonderful as the first half. It got so intense towards the end and Jensen did so well, and I loved all the other characters as well, they all worked really well together. I loved Lou Diamond Phillips he was so brilliant, and Jerome Betha especially - he played his character so well, I loved it.

12. And after it was all over, we met up with Liz and Gabe again outside the theater before we said goodbye to them, and then Betsy, Jenn, and I hung out in the parking lot for a little while before we decided to head over to Barnes and Nobel, I changed my shirt in the car again, for those of you who wanted to know.

13. And then we played around in Barnes and Nobel for a few hours, looking at the Texas books, and then the magazines and then the movies and music and then the Literary Theory books, and then some fiction, and then the GBLT section, before moving on to the Sex/Relationship section. And after all that fun we headed to the Starbucks and had something to drink.

And then that was it ... after we finished our drinks we headed out to the parking lot where I bid Betsy and Jenn goodbye and headed back towards Abilene - which took forever, and my ipod died during the day and there are no radio stations between Fort Worth and Abilene, and the construction again, and wrecks this time too.

But I managed to make it home in one piece, and I had a wonderfully brilliant day.

( After all that I'll hid the pictures - which I stole from Jenn, cause my camera is a bitch, so if you've seen Jenn's post you don't have to look through these )

So I had a really crappy day at work on wednesday so I decided I needed to dye my hair, because it makes me happy. I picked out some cherry red color with my roommate and dyed it last night... and now we have pictures.

( Wah Red )

So I really should be writing, but instead I'm taking a bit of a break. I want to do that photo meme that everyone else has been doing, though I doubt anyone will want to see anything in my house, but yeah.

So ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you'Wre interested in or curious about; tt can be anything at all. Want to see my messy house, the dog I'm babysitting, my crazy kitchen, etc.? Leave a comment and I'll post back with the picture later. That way you get to know a little bit more about me.

And now back to writing.
