One last thing before I snuggle up with my copy of Essential X-Men 5. Some of you (like Maz) have been wondering what I'm going to do with my oh-so-valuable film school education. Well, these Nirvana lyrics should make it obvious!

I'm goin' to Hollywood, they'll see that I'm so good
They won't care how I feel, and I'll get to fuck Brooke Shields
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

I want to be a star, I'm going to have a car
And you'll have to admit, I'll be rich as shit
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

I would give you some, if you only would have treated me nice
You'll wish that you did, you'll feel pretty stupid
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

It's fun to be a star, it's nice to have a car
Yeah, you'll have to admit, that I'll be rich as shit
And I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

The money will roll right in

I leave June 18th to go to Botcon and Anime Expo, oh yeah, and to pitch an animated series or two, and failing that, to become a writer's lackey.

The cool thing is that at once I'll be transcending bounds of nerdiness that I never before dared breach, and also acting like a grown up.

I'm gonna get Peter Cullen to sign my Optimus, Dan Gilvezan to sign terrible fan art of Carly and Spike having sex in Bumlebee's back seat, and I'll gush all over the writers and to make them sign stuff for me and also to beg them desperately to get me work writing for animated series. And also to tell Brad Mick he's a fucking terrible writer.

I'm just going to Anime Expo to hear about the new Robotech series and probably that Harmony Gold has distribution rights to Macross: Do You Remember Love? now.

So, if you're one of the many, many kids I pissed off in my tenure of Transformers MUSHing, you can come up to me at Botcon and punch me. I'll be the guy with the posse of scary people. Well, that narrows it down to, oh, anyone at the entire convention. Hmm. Let me rethink this.

Well, I'll come up with some way for people to identify me at Botcon, because it's surely going to be the only time I ever go to one of these things, and you'll want to maul me when you get the chance!

P.S. I'm a complete whore and anyone who gives me Jetfire/Macross or other cool stuff, regardless of what it is or in what condition, will get a special page about them on MFO! We'll take your picture, and then I'll write complete bullshit about you! Sounds like fun, right? Please give me stuff!

P.P.S.S. I hate you.
