I've often wondered why we have such a fascination with delicate things. I find butterflies to be wonderful to watch and photograph, but have no real reason why I do....they're just great. Maybe it's the colors.

Kender, 2-3 hours and I'm across my state.

2-3 hours and I'm still in Texas, pretty much still in central Texas. If traffic is bad enough I may not have left my county.

At least you have your priorities straight....have ticket in place, worry about how to actually get to Comic-Con later.


I might try and get down to the zoo in summer now that i finally got a new radiator in the car on the weekend and can now travel a bit without having to worry about the car overheating.

Dukesmom.....:laf: That's some serious traffic. I think at it's worst, it might take me 1.5 hours to get across my county. Traffic's never really an issue here. And Texas an hold like 3 missouris, maybe more.

Keen work AAVaria....where are you trying to come from?

Wooooo Kender's coming to the US.....we should make sure a proper greeting's in place.

2. Oh I'll need a passport and tickets to the US...
3. Save for a house.

No i'm not coming maybe one day though.

I've hardly seen any of my own country, only went to Melbourne for the first time last year and didn't get to see that much of it as i was only there for the weekend and spent most of the time at a con where i got to meet JF, which is where my avi piccy was taken.

I have no idea how long it would take to drive to either Victoria or Queensland but it would probably take most of the day. We have pretty big states here.

TK, if you ever come to Perth, I will gladly be your tour guide to the best bits.

W.A (my state) is bigger than Texas in its size.

My crappy rental house I am in is $360PW rent and it has blocked drains, holes in walls, doors that don't close, broken locks etc etc etc - A real piece of crap! My net wage is $480PW so, yes, rent is expensive in Perth atm.

Jerry, have you heard the latest Trivium track that was leaked online? It is a killer!

S.A. is where? NSW is?

<- is not from Australia. I see SA, I think of San Antonio.

How big of a house are you looking for, 2 bedrooms, 5?

Clint, no I hadn't heard it at all....sounds pretty good though. When did it get leaked? Have you heard the new metallica songs that got leaked? I'm very much un-impressed....sounds like they're ripping bits of their own melodies now.

Hello !

I'm using this thread to briefly talk to you about the fan conventionVidUKon, which is a vidding convention happening in the UK in 2 months. I figured some of you fans could be interested.
If you love fandom, shows and music videos, you might want to come and see all the videos !

There will be panels for vidders, but mostly vid shows where you can see plenty of vids if you just love vids, and just meet fandom lovers like you. It's all about fans, meeting and sharing their love. which involves lots of hugs



if you have questions, feel free to check the website, the community or PM me
