Wow! I had a great time at FanX. It was the best Con that I've ever been to. I actually was not going to go to it at first and I wish I would have bought a ticket when they were on sale. The main reason I decided to go was to meet Paul Wesley. When they announced that he was going to be coming, I literally freaked out. I was not disappointed because Paul Wesley is just an awesome person. I think he was the best celebrity I have ever met. He was so kind and while he was signing my autograph he talked to me for a bit and it didn't feel rushed. I'm glad my shirt came from the campaign he had with the Humane Society. I loved that I was able to wear it and he gave me a high five. That was just the best thing ever. I can't believe how down to Earth and great he really is. He made my day and during his panel with Phoebe, he made me laugh so hard. He was the best part and I'm so happy and grateful that he came here to Salt Lake.
I enjoyed every day I was there because I got to meet some of my favorite stars and listen to their panels. The Con people did such a great job this time around. There was no waiting in big long lines because we had wristbands that we scanned coming and going. It was nice to leave and then if you wanted to come back, you could. I'm also glad that they limited the tickets that they sold and gave away. It was a better experience all the way around. It wasn't so crowded and it was a whole lot nicer.
I was not going to go to Felicia Day's panel, but I was already in the room and had good seats with my sister so we stayed for 5 panels straight. I like Felicia, but there is no way in hell that I will ever like her character from Supernatural. I do not think her character on the show is a strong female. It seems like every time Charlie is on, Sam and Dean have to rescue her or save her. She's had her arm broken twice now and she's almost died and has died and been brought back to life. I'm tired of it already. Truly strong female characters can take care of themselves and save themselves. They don't need someone to help and rescue them all the time.
To go off on a tangent here, I'm going to say something about Supernatural and Jared. I used to love reading Jared's tweets on Twitter, but now I'm actually getting tired of them. When he starts complaining about how much an airline charges, whether he was joking or not, is getting ridiculous. He can certainly afford paying how much to fly wherever he needs to go. True he is not a billionaire, but he certainly is a millionaire and can afford a couple thousand dollar flight at the last minute in first class. It's bad enough that I've stopped enjoying him playing Sam Winchester, but now I've stopped enjoying his tweets or even seeing him on Twitter in pictures or anything else. It's sad to say this but when I do watch Supernatural, it seems that Jared's acting is very lackluster, not that he gets much material to work with. But it just seems like he's just sticking around on Supernatural to make money or whatever. It's like he's not even serious about acting at all and it shows when you watch his character. But like I said, the writers don't write anything really for him to act. I guess I just don't enjoy seeing his character of Sam just sitting around doing almost nothing in almost every episode. Jared seems okay with it and that's what's sad as well. It seems like he doesn't even care about his fans anymore. I guess that's okay because he can do whatever he wants to. I think if he cared about his fans then he would tell the writers to maybe do something more with his character than what they are doing. Instead he says he's just sitting back and letting them write whatever. I would too if that meant I did not have to work as much, but I still got paid a ton of money. Whatever. I used to really think Jared was a wonderful person, but now I feel nothing for him as well as the nothing I feel for the character of Sam. It seems like Jared now does not put anything of himself into his character and it really shows. I guess that's why I love the first three seasons the most because it felt like Jared truly liked to act and now it feels like he's just going through the motions and waiting until the show ends so he can do something else.
Okay that was enough of that, but I just needed to get it out.
I have tons of new stuff from FanX to think about and I might start watching Game Of Thrones. I never thought much about the show until I saw the panel with two of the stars. I love going to Cons like FanX because I can learn about all kinds of new things and find new shows to watch and new books to read.
I'm hoping to go to the next Comic Con here in Salt Lake. Hopefully, I will buy my ticket early and lots of good stars will attend.
