Fun times at L.A. Live for the Ellen DeGeneres Show

Yesterday Ellen DeGeneres was tweeting that if anyone wanted tickets to the Grammy's to go to L.A Live ASAP. But it turned out that showing asap was not required, and they wanted a crowd by 2:30 for the filming at 3. This filming would be for today's show, Friday the 11.

The crowd was very small and it was made up of basically college students who would like to go to the Grammy's and tourists who stumbled upon this and wanted free stuff to take home. While waiting we learned to recieve a prize we had to dress up. People went to stores and tried to make costumes out of anything. One girl was going to put meat on herself but the crew told her not to because Ellen is a Vegan. In a way she was very happy because she didnt want to smell like raw meat.

The day taping went by fast and it was a lot of fun. The person who won was a guy who dressed as Adam Lambert and sang why he would like to go to the grammy's in the tune of Whataya want from me. He was really good and was the clear winner for the whole taping. They tried to find someone else who could sing as amazing as him to have more of a competition but sadly they couldnt.

After the taping they gave away the prizes through a raffle. Basically if someone got a number, they were guranteed a prize. The prizes ranged from camera to cell phones to Beiber headphones. It was awesome to get something for the hours we waited outside in the hot sun. I got a wearable camcorder! and that is really awesome because it is great for me because i really love doing sports and marathons.

The crew was very nice to us and we enjoyed ourselves very much.  Thank you to Ellen and the crew for the free gifts and the fun memories!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I AM VERY EXCITED THAT I AM GOING TO COMIC CON 2011! I got my tickets, i had to by individual days because the 4 day pass wouldnt show up, in about 2hrs. It was a lot of F5 clicking and being on 2 computers at the same time but i got them!

Sadly though i found out that twilight is also... which i am not very happy about. I just dont like how many of those fans do not even care about the rest of the panels but take up all the room in Hall H, uninterested, until Twilight.

I do not like Twilight, it annoys me, the films are much more decent than the books. The books are poorly written and remind me of a poorly written mary sue fan fiction.

Although i now have respect for some of those fans and there moms for the dedication to this series. Last year i did the camping for 4 days at L.A Live for the Eclipse movie, to live a couple days in a life of a Twilight fan. Thinking back it was a lot of fun and i had new respect for some fans and actors. I learned that some are not as crazy as they paint them, they just want to make memories doing this with other fans. Others sadly depend on that book because of what they have gone through. One girl was crazy and had tattos of the different emblems and favorite quotes from the book all over her body. hose couple of days i learned that the media actually looked for the craziest, weirdest fans and it gives them all a bad reputation.

I enjoyed it very much, but sadly they are such fanatics that they will be camping out 4 days before comic con even opens. And i do blame them for the crashing servers on saturday. It would probably have gone more smoothly if in fact twilight wasnt going, and people who like comic didnt feel the need to battle for tickets saturday morning with twifans.

I am looking forward to Comic Con and one day i hope to be press... THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

Until than i will enjoy myself as a fan of movies and such. My goal this year is to go to at least 2 parties! i am now 21! yay me!!!
