Reflecting on 2013

It's really hard to sum up this past year so I did it in timeline form. It's just easier.

January - Went to Vancouver BC, visited filming locations for Once Upon A Time

March - Began my film production program at the Art Institute of Seattle. Attended Emerald City Comicon, met Kristin Bauer (Maleficent) and conducted Oncer interviews. Decided to go to Disney World with the Once Upon A Fan staff.

April - Vegas with Syn. Went to Voodoo Lounge, Red Rock Canyon, Lake Mead, and drove into Arizona and California.

May - Road trip 1 from Colorado with my best friend Syn. Had a delicious dinner at the Rabbit Hole. Drove through Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and then Washington. Road trip 2 from Washington to Northern California for Goa Gil, went to San Francisco, then drove home. Stopped in Portland on the way for Cacao, Voodoo Donuts and had "Mancakes" at the Stepping Stone.

June - Went to Oregon with my friend Amanda for her brother's birthday. Learned the cutoff time for vodka and Red Bull. Ended my call center career.

July - San Diego Comic-Con. Met Roseanne and Johnny Argent, the cast of The Sidekick, the cast of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., a VFX artist named Jessica (who does effects for OUAT), the cast and creators of Once Upon A Time and OUAT In Wonderland, Jane Espenson and Brad Bell. Stood next to Bill Paxton and danced in a flipbook with Barbara Barnett of BlogCritics.org. Turned 28.

August - D23 Convention in Anaheim. OUAT panel coverage cited in Examiner.com and Hypable.com. Met Jason Schwartzman and Charles Boyer, a Disney Legend who painted Mickey's Self Portrait. Also went to Disneyland for a day thanks to my friend Jackie, Disneybounded as Peter Pan, met another guy in a Peter Pan hat named Carlos.

September - Disneybound Dapper Day Meet-up at Disney California Adventure. Met Leslie Kay and Erika Kurzawa of Disneybounding. 

October - Met the man of my dreams.
