Hello there! So I finally have the information I was promising to everyone about those wonderful people I met at Krypton comics.
First of all, are there any of you who are looking for a new comic to dive into? I highly recommend "The Culling", which is a really fantastic future-istic comic book series. I believe that there are only three comics currently, the first two and a special "0" comic that kinda serves as a prologue. I was not able to attain that comic at the time and I regret it because a lot of information apparently was in that comic. Hopefully I can obtain it and then add it to my collection! But anywhoz, it's really fantastic. It kinda has a Transformers-meets-Hunger-Games feel to it, which I happen to love very much. It's full of awesome action and graphics so far, so I give it a five star review and two much-approved thumbs up. I recommend getting into the series. Here is their website link :) http://www.omugcomics.com/index.php
Now Jim Mehsling was one of the awesome men I had the opportunity to sit next to (and he also drew Donatello for me! :D) He has to coolest looking gritty graphic style, so I would totally check him out if I were you. Check him out on http://www.cartooncaveman.blogspot.com/
Also, he made some really funny animation videos of Star Wars that had me giggling, so please check that out as well!

And also, last but not least, you have to check out this cool dude's page. Ryan Chandler was the awesome magician who not only kept me guessing but kept me entertained while at Krypton Comics. He also is a musician, so please check out his work!

Krypton Comics was Amazing---and a side note to Mr. Mike
Oh my goodness, Krypton Comics was just absolutely amazing. I had one of the best times of my life there. When I arrived, which was like 30 minutes before the event started, I was absolutely shocked at how many people were in line! The line wound all the way around the building and I'm pretty sure it took over the strip mall. I had the honor of meeting Ryan, a
Magician who personally had me entertained the entire time with his card tricks. I was beginning to learn a thing or two, and then he would always switch it up and I would have to start all over. I also got to meet some amazing artists, two I sat next to was Jim and Kathleen Clark. Oh my goodness, it was completely amazing. I also got to meet a pretty cool guy who did a voice impression of Bender from Futurama. His name was
Jon Portrey, and he was really talented, and here is his page site!
Also, I promise to add more things on the other people I mentioned, but currently I am still at my college and do not have their business cards with me, so I will have to log on later to type up their websites. I also had the pleasure of meeting a group of fantastic guys who self-published their own comic book, and I can't wait to figure out a way to download their website link onto my website...once I can figure out how to work my website...But they were amazing people and I can't wait to read the comics book. But, back to the FCD...
I ended up selling about 13 or 14 books, and even one of my professors came to visit me! It was an absolutely fantastic day. And I was blessed to have two amazing friends of mine come with me to free comic day and hang around for most of the even. Oh, and, fun fact, I actually DID get to meet Superman...and it was amazing!! He was a very sweet guy, and as much as I wanted, I didn't ask for a photo with him or an autograph because he looked so exhausted, and honestly, after being there from 9:30am-6:30pm, I was exhausted too. It was just an honor to get to shake his hand and chat with him for a few minutes.
Now, on to some very sad news...
There was a man in my life who has been there since I was a little girl. He has a leader in my church, his name was Mr. Mike, and he was one of the most wise and wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He died the day before FCD apparently, and I found out this past Sunday. I could not go to his funeral due to finals and I really hate that fact. He was one of the greatest people in my life, he was like family to me. He was kind, wise, whacky, and a great Christian role-model for not just me, but hundreds of other kids in and outside of my church. I promise to come visit your grave Mr. Mike and pay my respects now that my finals are complete. You were such an amazing person...I was truly blessed to have you in my life.
I have finally finished my freshman year, and as I move onto my summer, I mourn having to leave my wonderful friends here but am very eager to see my friends who I have known for years and to visit family again. I can now FINALLY work on my books, I'm thinking of working on two or three, we'll see what I can cook up. Plus, I plan on getting a summer job.
So anyway, sorry for the late post on Free Comic Book Day...it was amazing, I was honored to be a part of it, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to be a part of it again in the near future!

HOLY SUPERMAN!!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHH!!!!!!!!!
Ya'all won't believe what has just happened to me. Or rather; what I just found out.
So, about a month or two ago, I was facebook chatting Dean Phillips, owner of Krypton Comics, and he happened to mention that there was going to be free comic book day and was wondering if I was interesting in setting up a booth. I was like "Heck to the yeah!" Of course I would be! But I had no idea how huge the event was going to be.
How huge is it?
Brandon Routh, who played Superman in "Superman Returns", is going to be there.
Please excuse me briefly while my head explodes.
HOLY CRAP! I mean like...HOLY CRAP!!!
I am so dang excited I can't even find the words to explain. I mean...HOLY CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!
I realize that I will probably never ever get to meet him tomorrow, but I will be able to catch a glimpse of him perhaps, and just know that we were in the same building. #seriouslyfreakingoutrightnow
I'm just...gah. I can't even. The excitement is just too much. I am honored that I was asked to attend this event and that such a interesting and amazing guy will be there.
Just too cool for words!
Here is the link to check it all out: (plus, if you scroll down, you'll fine my name there! :D)

FREE COMIC DAY ON MAY 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! Yes it is that upcoming time of month! FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!!!
So naturally where will I be? I will be at Krypton Comics, and I will have a book signing going on there as well, which is a huge honor for me. I really enjoy the story, so it just tickles me pink to be able to set up a stand there. My book will be on sale, instead of being $18.95, it will be $10 instead.
And, I would like to apologize for hardly ever being on here. I have been so busy with school and social stuff that I have not been able to tackle my books, or maintain this blog, which I realize kinda makes me a sucky writer and blogger, but I have FINALLY decided what it is that I want to do with my life. I want to get a major in English with a specialty in creative writing and double major in Computer Graphics, and my hope is to work for companies like DreamWorks or Nickelodeon or Disney, where I could help with either designing the characters, help creating the stories or working on the animation (which is a laugh because I can't even figure out how to work this computer of mine, but I am a hard worker and I believe in myself enough that I can figure it out!!!!!). Plus, I have to make a huge confession: I love animes. Shocking, yes (no not really) and I would love to do the English dubs for all the really cool Japanese animes that I watch and love. I am going about trying to figure out how to do that as well as work on my double majors...and possibly get a minor in film productions...I'm not too sure about that one but I am working on it for sure.
But anywho, dear blog readers, if you are in Omaha Nebraska, please stop by 2819 S. 125th Ave, Suite 261! Check out the wonderful comics there and stop by my book stand! I hope to see people there and I hope that you are all having a wonderful day!
Now, on to matters of music: What am I listening right now this very minute?
Well, why don't you find out? ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efcXonnA2zI
Sing it, Billy Joel. Sing it.
Now I'm off to either sleep or finish history homework...it's 3am, so who knows what I'll do.
Bye-bye!
