There's a 1st Time For Everything!

Last August, I was one of 1200 people who booked a ticket to the Asylum 08 convention. It is a fan convention for people who watch, love, and adore the American tv show that is Supernatural. I was nervous and excited at the same time. I love the show, the writing, the storylines. It cleverly combines drama, folkelore, monsters such as vampires, shapeshifters, ghosts and suchlike, along with a slight comedic touch. It tells the story of two brothers who are "Hunters", they treck accross america saving innocent people from said monsters, whilst continuing their backstory of who killed their mother, one of their girlfriends, their father, and also holds a contract for one of teir souls, I could go on but....

The whole point of this is that this experience would be new to me. I was going with a friend, but that changed at the last minute, so, not only was I in completely new territory, but I was alone!

Anyway, hubby refused to take the ticket, and I completely understood, he hates American shows, and he wouldn't have known Sam from Dean, or indeed a Wendigo from a trickster, (I can tell immeditely!).

So off I went to register, alone and nervous. I arrived early, sat on a chair and watched in awe as most of the 1200 people milled around the hotel. I sat their and it dawned on me that ALL of the people that were there had one thing in common, The Show.

I worked up the courage to speak to the girl sat next to me. It was the best thing I did, she took me under her wing, showed me the ropes, told me not to join random queus just becuase it was a queue, and looked after me all weekend.

Thank you Emily!

After registering and getting my "pack" on the friday, I was raring to go on the Saturday. After all I was going to get autographs from 8 cast members! But it was oh so much more than that. Queuing for hours was worth every second when you got to the cast member at the front. They ALL took the time to speak to you, ask you questions, and show that they were enjoying the weekend as much as we were. My favourite was Jim Beaver who plays Bobby a surrogate father to the brothers. We all had to put our names on a post it note so that the person knew who to sign for. And Sis In Law will love this! I get to hm he says hello and says my name and winks at me. He knew what my name was short for, and he knew that I didn't like being called my full name as it felt as if I was being told off! He signed my autograph and gave me another wink as I turned away.

So autographs collected on the saturday, and yes I managed to ask one of the wierdest questions to two of the cast members.

Me: I hope I don't offed anyone with this question, but we (meaning the 1200 people in the room) Have all seen the out takes from the show and I wondered if you had been in the vicinity when Jensen or Jared (the leading men) have broken wind?

The 1200 people broke into fits of laughter, and I held my face in my hands......but, this is the response caught on video, you can just hear me asking if I should go home, and saying thankyou at the end.

Sterling and Jim's response to my question.

If you read the review of the convention onf the supernatural tv website she actually mentions my question!!

Sunday was spent watching all of the cast talks from the 3rd row wooohoooo! It was so interesting to hear the tricks of the tv trade, and their own experiences whilst filming the show. Along with their personal opinions of things.

In closure I loved every minute of it. I have since watched the episode finale and can really appreciate how well the people act, considering I have now met some of them!

Thankyou Emily, if it wasn't for you I would have been a lost soul.

And Sis In Law, geeks rule! Pfffft.

Hugs and love

Save Me From You Tube!

Please can someone save me! In a little over a month I have made 23 videos! I'm hooked, totally and utterly hooked. Editing, adding sound tracks, mixing and matching clips I simply adore it.

More sad news this week, the gentleman killed in Warrington by the teenage thugs whilst protecting his car. He worked for my company. I knew him, had sat next to him at work functions, had chatted to him both in the office and over the phone, and he was the sweetest man ever.

My thoughts are with his family, he will be sadly missed, but remembered as the happy man he was.

So.....no more you tube until Saturday as tomorrow I am visitin Sis In Law. (Makes mental note to call her tonight at about 9pmish).

See you soon.

Love and hugs

To watch any of the video clips, you need to press both "play" buttons, or forward arrows. The one in the middle of the video clip itself, and the one on the bottom left.

Hope this helps.

Hope it worked.

Ok, now I don't ask much of my readers, in fact I don't really ask anything at all?

But.....now I'm making one simple request. My all time favourite tv show is being re-run on Friday nights on ITV1. I have just spent 21 weeks recording it on digital tv, on itv2 as I thought they had dropped it from the terrestrial listings!!!

So.......to ensure that the viewing figures are kept up I am asking one favour.

Please, just once, tune in or record Supernatural on Friday night at 11pm. Yes I know it's late, but if you record it you can watch it in whatever spare time you may have.

I can almost guarantee if you watch it once, you might just be tempted to watch it again. The two main characters Sam and Dean are absolutely adorable. At the beginning of the episode it will give you a catch up on what has happened previously, but....if you need any more information, just drop me a line or give me a call and I can tell you every detail of series one!!!

Please, we need to keep this series alive. It is fresh, funny, scary, and thrilling all in one show. There are droolable men, droolable women, sexy scary creatures, something for everyone, even the odd love story thrown into the mix!

Jared Padalecki is a talent not often found, 6ft2" of muscle and a wonderful acting talent. He plays Sam. Jensen Ackles, who as you all know is my all time hero, even taken over the number one spot from Robbie Williams, is truly a star in the making. He has already been on three or four American shows and reaped the awards for best newcomer, and sexiest male. This role was almost completely made for him. It shows his steely determination to protect his brother. His angst at losing his mother and father, his fight to kill anything evil that threatens life within the world. He is 5ft9" of pure muscle, intelligent, musical, playing the guitar and singing in real life, and most of all he is absolutely adorable.

Angry Dean, we will all just want to mother him. Even if he is pointing a shotgun filled with rocksalt at us!

So women of the UK unite, please, just watch or record one episode. Lets show the Americans that we are just as united in keeping this series alive as the Americans are. It HAS been renewed for a third series......but we want more.

What do we want?!

MORE SUPERNATURAL.

I don't ask much, and maybe, just maybe, if you watch it once you might thank you for introducing you to a wonderful programme, both scary and funny and packed with rampaging male hormones.

SN fans of the world unite!

Oh and heres a taster of the brothers in action. Dean is the shorter haired of the two brothers. The song, might be a little "hard rock" for some, but I love it.

Have a look, just press play once, go on I dare you, I'm sure it will make you want to watch the series that starts on Friday night at 11pm on ITV1.

Did I tell you it starts on Friday night at 11pm on ITV1??

Go on........for me, pwetty pwetty please.

***Spoiler warning for any existing Supernatural fans, this clip WILL show spoilers you may not want to see***


***Warning for 1st time viewers, there is some Demon slaughtering in here, nothing too gory at all, and bearing in mind that they are baddies, and more than likely already dead it's cool. Please, also consider that this is classed as a 15 aged programme and therefore not suitable for young children. No adults were harmed in the making of this video by Mnallison02, only those darned vampires, wherewolves, jynn, shapeshifters, reaperas and that troublesome effing Yellow Eyed Demon (YED). It's not too gory, go on press play, it's fun!!***

Just so there's no excuses, you need to press both "PLAY" icons, the one in the middle of the picture, and the one on the bottom left of the square.



Go on......press play, you know you want to.......you know you want to, look into my eyes, press play, press play, Friday night 11pm ITV1, press play press play.......

Ok, so having posted this, read it through and watched the video, I've decided this might be a bit heavy for some viewers......so. Here is the gentler side of Supernatural. The music is lovely, AND it tells the story from the beginning to help you understand exactly what happened to the brothers. This is mainly Sam's side of the story, telling how his mother was killed by the YED when he was no more than a baby. Hoe his 6 year old brother Dean carried him to safety. How Mommy and Pappa Winchester adored their boys. Then......it all changes. Papa Whinchester brings the boys up to be Hunters. To hunt any evil, especially the Yellow Eyed Demon (YED) that killed his wife, their mother, and eventually Sam's girlfriend.

If you need anymore inside info......ask me, I am the font of all Supernatural (SN) knowledge.

This amazing video is by my good friend in AMerica LSketch42.

I'll Be A Crying Tonight

Yes ladies and gentlemen. Tonight is the series finale of Supernatural. Thankfully we know it has been authorised for a third series, but tonight is the ultimate climax of series two.

Last weeks episode left me in tears, Sam is dead, Dean is holding his brothers blood stained body screaming his name. I know what happens, but......won't they get cramp sat there for a whole week before the next episode starts???? Joke!

As I said I know what happens, but, I also know that throughout most of tonights one hour show I will be in tears. I take it all so seriously! Fights with Wendigo's, ghosts, vampires, wherewolves, and demons really is serious stuff you know! Especially that darned old yellow eyed demon!

Anyway, hubby is home for the weekend, thankfully the terrible floods over here didn't prevent him from getting home safely from Scotland. This week he is still away but nearer to home.

We are lucky here, we are on high ground, unlike some of the people who have lost their homes and their belongings to the floods. I can't imagine how that feels.

Also our terror alert has been raised to the highest level. I'm heavily not into politics, but, I have to say, I saw this coming. I thought it might be on the actual change over day. There was an hour when we were without a prime minister! But no.....and I can see this, scarily, going on for weeks.

So....I'll sign off. I need to make preparations for nine o clock pm tonight. If the phone rings, hubby will answer and I will speak to no one.......no one until tomorrow. Hint hint Sis In Law. (I'm now expecting the phone to ring shortly before 9pm). On this one occasion Jensen comes first! Did I tell you he was in my home town and I didn't even know!!! **Drool**

Take care all

Love and hugs
