yay! Hi [member=4551]draccy[/member] !! I've known draccy for a bazillion years and we've been doing SDCC together since 2013 when I dragged her and my bff with me! Fun fact: We met online in a Nine Inch Nails forum in like 1999!
Thank you Zero Comics: I'm super loving Image comics. Monstress is my #1 favorite right now, Saga is amazing, I'm really enjoying Lazarus which I got because I dig Greg Rucka. Back in the forever ago days of my youth (the 1990s) I was a Marvel comics girl, and especially loved the X-Men titles. I'm thinking of getting into 2000AD stuff because I have a friend who works for them. Movies: I love the MCU. It strikes a good balance between the different movies of fun and serious. I'm very unhappy with the DC movie-verse's grimdark all the things and think Zack Snyder needs to, like, go away. Wonder Woman was fantastic because of his minimal involvement in the movie. TV: umm... how much time do you have? lol I'm behind on many of my shows because I decided that grad school was a thing I should do. Who needs a life, amirite? In no particular order: the Marvel Netflix series (sans Iron Fist because omg the acting and writing were soooooooooooo bad. Like I could've gotten over one if it weren't for the other. Favorite part of The Defenders was Luke Cage laying out Danny Rand.) I believe my avatar accurately conveys my love for Daredevil especially, though. Then there's Doctor Who, though I'm behind. Stranger Things, though I have many things due next week so I don't have time to watch it until probably Thanksgiving. Legion was an absolutely amazing show in all the ways - visually, acting, writing, music, feel, and oh my god Aubrey Plaza. Preacher. Rick and Morty. Sens8, which I keep hoping deep down that it will get picked up by someone else who'll keep it going so JMS and the Wachowskis can see their vision through. I used to love Supernatural so much that I slept outside my first SDCC to see the panel, but I lost interest about 3 years ago when they just kept on recycling material. I saw the first season of Mr. Robot and it was awesome, but I'm behind on that show too. And I can't friggin wait for the Netflix Punisher show to come out. I'm not usually a Punisher fan, but Daredevil Season 2 totally sold me on this iteration of the character. And last but not least, my favorite fantasy writers right now are NK Jemisin and Brandon Sanderson.
Ha ha, nice! It's great to see more people on here. [member=3]Chris[/member] would be proud that you have successfully recruited a lurker into becoming more active and joining in on conversations. (Mwuhahahahahaha!)
I'll keep an eye out. My SDCC evening plans go along the lines of "inaugural Wednesday night dinner with my group," followed by "eat and drink at Lion's Share as often as possible." Oh for sure SDCC has ALL the fandoms, and more. I'm already building a mental list of things I want for next year. For example, I hope that American Gods does a panel in 2018. I saw the 2016 one and squeed so hard, and was sad there was no 2017 panel. I feel like this is a golden age for television, and I love it, but it's really hard to keep up. Thankfully with streaming I don't feel bad putting off things to watch in order to do things like not fail out of grad school.
I have a lurker recruitment quota.
I'm getting a Master's in Public Health. 6.5 months left, then I'll be a free woman again! It's a weird love-hate relationship between me and school. I adore most of what I'm learning. I hate the stress of constantly having something to do. It doesn't give me the space I need to let my brain rest because, even if I'm procrastinating, my brain is going over all the things I have to get done. Undergrad was easier, even though I double majored, because I cared less. But something happened to me between undergrad and now, and now I'm all "omg my GPA." Even though I'm certainly not going to ever get a PhD, so my GPA doesn't matter for anything except my personal issues with impostor syndrome. What are you studying?
Well, I will do my official intro lol My name is Christina... while nerdy in my own way it is my husband who is the major player in the house. We are in our 40’s and have 3 kids one of which is now out on her own (yay!!!). We live on the edge of LA county and Orange County in Cali in Cerritos. 2017 was our first SDCC and when I found this place a little too late but I am making up for that!!! Everyone in my house likes something different so it becomes a challenge pulling off SDCC but we make it work! We drove down last year but think this year we are going to take the train... something different and I won’t have to worry about parking but that also depends on hotel Good to meet you all officially!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hi Christina! @clambert1273Welcome to the forum! We are all our own kind of nerdy. I’m a pop culture/ TV nerd while my husband is nerdy about science and beer...though he’s bringing me around to the beer. What kinds of things are you into? What do you like to see at SDCC?

Welcome to the forums, [member=7390]clambert1273[/member]! Glad that you could join us in our community!What are some fandoms you enjoy?
Ahhh well that is mostly my daughter and hubby’s realm... I am the gamer girl (have been forever) so that is where I always was... in the RPG realm But I am totally expanding my horizons thanks to this group and them lolI would have to guess my biggest that I follow is Vampire Chronicles (Anne Rice)... I read a lot but I tend to reread my favorites. I have read Outlander series, GoT series and the Vampire Chronicles (Mayfair witches etc..) more times than I can count... I get a lot of exposure to Harry Potter from my youngest so I just roll with it for her my husband is ALL THINGS Star Wars and my son is ALL Anime so I kind of just get yanked all around
Oh my! A fellow gamer! *high fives* What are your favorite RPGs? What have you been playing lately? I never should have started this, but I've been playing Kingdom Hearts Union Cross. I'm not really a fan of MMORPGs--I didn't really play them when I was younger because it consumes too much time--but curiosity got the better of me last year when it first came out, and I've been doing it ever since (also my party's leader so I have to keep people motivated and organized, ha ha). Ugh, too many raid bosses. It's gotten a bit repetitive. >__<I love Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. I haven't yet read the latest book (the one with Atlantis), but I'll get around to it eventually, ha ha. Ha ha, it sounds like you do have a good mix of fandoms in your household! Have you attended or thought of attending any other conventions, like for Stars Wars, Harry Potter, or anime?
