Felicia Day squeee!

She was my favorite Potential.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

She's very quiet and wan in person. I didn't want to bug her, but I would have loved to have asked her about Dr. Horrible. :)

OMGOMGOMG! YOU SHARED AIRSPACE WITH SETH ROGAN?!?!?!?!?

SO SO SO JEALOUS!

*bounces*

Oh, and yeah, glad you had a good time, etc. but SETH ROGAN!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

He's a big ol' teddy bear looking dude. I wanted to see Paul Rudd, but never did. (He was there, too.)

[tricksterquinn.livejournal.com]

Ooh, sounds like a BLAST! I'm glad you had fun and eeei Felicia Day sweeeeet!!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It was! I'm totally zonked and I just got up from a sunshine nap, too. Zzzzzzzzzz.

[tricksterquinn.livejournal.com]

Sunshine naps are the best.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

Re: new FNL Asst. Coach. TOTALLY cute and what AWESOME news.

Glad you had a such a fun time.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I had to snuggle up with him. I'm behind on my FNL eps - I have five DVRd waiting for a long stretch of time to watch. I think he was disappointed I didn't recognize him when I said I was a huge fan, lol.

[marlo.livejournal.com]

Yay! GO YOU!!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Still one of the best icons out there. (And the visit was all Star Wars talk all the time. So, you know. Awesome.)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you had an awesome time! I am envious... :-P

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It was great! But I'm so dehydrated and thirsty, it's not even funny.

[caoil.livejournal.com]

YAY for you having a blast! Did your family manage okay sans mom?

aaaaaand totally an actor that wants to talk about his awesomeness *yawn*

Ahhh, yes...the elusive & rare Egocentric Ac-tor. ;-)

In gardening news, I have sprouts! Planted my vegetable seeds in those little expand-y peat discs, and almost everything sprouted within 3 days! Yay! (mind, I don't know quite when it will be safe - read: warm - enough to transplant them out of doors)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

They did! But mostly because the Mr. shipped the kids off to his folks house since he's working from home this week. :D

Oh, hurrah for sprouts! They're so weetiny and sweet when they're little babies. Hahahaha. You don't want to put veggies out until the nights are in the mid to upper 50s for the lows. Keep your peat pots nice and moist until then, and if little white roots pop out of the sides, that's okay.

I have the worst crush on Seth Rogan. I think it's his voice. It makes me want to do naughty things.

Also I am definitely going to have to check out your movie, not just because you say it's good but also so I can tell people that I internet-know someone in the movie! Is it being distributed by anyone yet?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I love his voice, too. It's rumbly.

Hahahaha, internet-know. I say that kind of stuff, too, hee! It just premiered, so it usually takes a while for those things to get off the ground. Keep your fingers crossed!

[soalivesofree.livejournal.com]

Will do!

Also, I have to say internet-know because if I'm all "Oh, I know this person," and they are all, "Who?" and I'm all, "Um, stoney321," then everyone thinks I'm some kind of massive dork who RPGs all day long. It's easier just to get the fact of my massive dorkitude out in the open right away. :D

[dovil.livejournal.com]

Fan-tastic! When you hit the Big Time I will always be prepared to walk behind you carrying your suitcases and running down bar tenders to make you more cocktails.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I don't know what I'm looking at with your newest icon, I only know that I love it.

I drank so much booze, D. So much. And ate hardly anything. And yet? it was just like our NYC trip when we never even caught a buzz! The hell? Am I allergic to booze now? Say it ain't so!!

[dovil.livejournal.com]

Isn't it fabulous? I'm making my cats take up smoking and nailing bunny ears to their heads so I can look at this all the time.

Wow! I'm impressed with the super power processing of your liver - obviously you're in too good a condition. You're going to have to start eating lard, stop exercising, really get your body breaking down so it can no longer cope with the alcohol being poured in on top of it. Otherwise what's the point of going on if you can't get high. :(

[minstrel666.livejournal.com]

Oh come on, Stoney. Every 16-year old Polish kid knows that drinking hard on an empty stomach makes it harder - what you need to do is pace yourself and snack on something in between!



[1](sadly, that is not a hyperbole, or even exaggeration)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh, but here's the thing that others from my neck of the woods would have intrinsicly understood, but you being from across the pond wouldn't. In every single Mexican restaurant here (which is pretty much where I eat) you get a massive bowl of tortilla chips and four or five different kinds of salsa. So you snack on that while you drink a shit-ton of liquor.

But! I NEVER got drunk, and I drank a LOT. It's just crazy that I consumed the amount I did (and I'm not a big person, to boot) and never even got to that floaty buzz stage. I tell ya, I'm not a cheap date. ;)

[minstrel666.livejournal.com]

I stand corrected. Increase the peace.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I have a huge butter knife ready to spread it to das VERLD. :D

[bitchygrrl.livejournal.com]

You go ! It sounds like a blast. Now sleep for a week.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmmmmmm, sleeping for a week. That sounds fabulous.

[anelith.livejournal.com]

This is all so happy! Bullet points of happiness! Followed by a nap in the sunshine. AWESOME.

I'm so glad that you had a fabulous time. And I can't wait to see this movie!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

A nap in the sunshine on my trampoline! Super warm-itude. \o/

I think you'd really like it, Anne. It's very poignant and reminiscent of kids like you and me that lived in our imaginations. The two kids in the movie did an amazing job, I was so proud of them.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

7:00 a.m.??? You have good skin, I'm sure no one could tell. I'm jealous. I crave sleep, you got to eschew it. I'm so glad you went -- sounds fantastic!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Pfft, my skin took a beating that weekend, that's for sure. Oy. I have freaking Samsonite bags under my eyes (hey-o, that's an old one!)

It was TERRIFIC. I'm actually down in the mouth for being back home and in my routine after having so much fun adult time. I've been busting out with "Back to Life..." at random moments. :D

[soulwhispers.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you had a blast, which is awesome. I'm bummed I'm missing my usual film festival this year because I moved away from the film school I lived by. :( I really want to see 500 Days of Summer for the adorableness that is Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I love film festivals. AFI is coming up in a little over a week, and we're showing there, too. There's a bunch of movies I didn't get to see while at SXSW (Like The 2 Bobs) that will show there. Yay movies!

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

You are leading a life of squee.

Plus FNL for 2 more seasons? Be still my heart.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was SO HAPPY to hear that about FNL! More Coach Taylor in my life = YAYNESS.

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

The movie was beautiful, smart, sweet, and well received stop
yay

and yay for seeing Felicia Day as well

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It was just a great weekend. Movies, booze, old friends... It doesn't get better than that.

[undersea.livejournal.com]

I can't believe you saw Robert Rodriguez! I'm so jealous :D

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

He's HOT.

[undersea.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how much I wish I had firsthand knowledge of this as you do!

[copykween.livejournal.com]

That sounds like the most awesome weekend EVER!

Oh man, Robert Rodriguez. The first time I saw him (on a DVD extra) I was like, "OMG HAWT!" And he was making food. How perfect is that? Very cool that you got to see him. :)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It totally was. GOOOOOOOD times, man.

He is a freaking BABE. One of my friends (the producer for my movie) spent the day with him and took a bunch of pics of the planes used in Planet Terror. WHAT?! That's redonk. I would have loved that shit, but let's face it: I'm just shy enough that I would have been terrified to come off like a dork the entire time I was there. :D
