Though I so did not keep a level head, I may have averted tragedy today; and I did it in true superhero fashion.
The coordinator for the annual county college fair quit. Not “quit as coordinator”, quit the entire state and moved away. Like a dolt, I volunteered to take over, thinking that since the schedule for this year’s fair was set in May, everything is set. WRONG! Something told me to call the facility and confirm that every recruiter from the East Coast (not an exaggeration, no, not at all), would be cleared to set up booths on the 11th. Yeah, he’d never heard of it. In fact, the facility is already booked by another agency that day from 8-4. 
I had to put aside my fear and intimidation and call the big boys at the state level. I proposed moving the venue to our school’s gymnasium and hoped they wouldn’t be too harsh in their reply. They were like, “Dude, no problem, we’ll put the word on the listserv and let it roll.” 
Seriously.
Sometimes, things just work out for you.

Did NOT see that coming. In Eureka, is anything ever as it seems? I may be wrong, and I’m not spoiled in any way whatsoever, but I think this may be for real. I only think that because the show is small enough to get away with something like this. Then again, it’s also small enough that they can get away with reversing it somehow. I just don’t know what the future holds, but as long as there is a future, I’m there. 
On a much less cool note, I am the world’s biggest sucker. No, I mean it. Once again, I’ve let my sense of responsibility cost me greatly.

As the week of Dragon*Con approaches, even more guests have been added. FORD! Rainbow is going to be there and I would so love to tell him that his fans still miss him. Here’s the list of who I would have spent my money on, had I gone to D*C 2008:

I just finished Book 4 in as many days. Is anyone here reading the Twilight series? No? Didn’t think so.
( Just in case....SPOILERS FOR BREAKING DAWN )
I’m not going to be a fangirl here, and I’m sort of relieved. I felt like I owed it to all my excited LJ friends to see what all the fuss is about, but I didn’t really want to get too involved with a new fandom just yet. I’m mighty glad I read this series, if for nothing more than the fact that I can now enjoy the HUGE amount of wank the final book has caused. Whoo!

Time to wish a very happy birthday to my Ashley!
I never get to see her anymore, but I’m sure she’s going to have a swell birthday.
