Saw a tweet from Seamus Dever the other day asking if anybody had a pic of the interview with him that was in the Flint Journal recently.

I swear to you, I had to read that one again to make sure I'd read it properly. Because the Flint Journal is the newspaper I always got, until I moved out of my parents' house. And I was like, "wait, he's in my newspaper?" Hadn't realized he was from Flint. (I'm from...let's just say my hometown is one of the nicer suburbs. Not a heck of a lot to do there, unless you're a really big fan of church, but less chance of getting shot if you're out at night.) So it was a bit weird. And kind of awesome. (The school where his mother got her master's degree? Yeah, that's where I went to college. And the Halo Burger he mentions at the end of the interview? Pretty sure I've eaten there, if it's the one I'm thinking of. He says it's downtown, so I'm assuming it's the one on Saginaw St.)

How cool!!! :D I wish he was from near me - I'd tweet him about it all the time ;)

Yeah, I thought it was pretty neat. Of course, he moved out of Flint when he was 6, so he's kind of...from Flint but not *from* Flint, if that makes any sense. Most of his life was in Arizona, he was just born in Flint. *shrug* I'm probably rambling and making no sense.

I'm actually kind of tempted to tweet him and ask if that Halo Burger is the one I'm thinking of, lol. But I'm a little scared to (...celebrities intimidate me XD )

(Also, hi, welcome to my friends list, lol. I was going to add you a while ago, but was too chicken because you're like...the goddess of everything Roach-related, and internet celebrities intimidate me almost as much as tv celebs do XD. Hi, my name is Jennie and I'm a big dork.)

I know what you mean! ;) I love that he's 'from' Arizona because I have family there and it's my favorite place on earth to visit! :D

Do it! I'll RT it for you ;) lol

Hi!!! Aww don't be intimidated by little old me ;) lol My name is Jen! :D and I am completely obsessed with Ryan/Espo and Seamus/Jon! A little too obsessed maybe, but not in a stalker-ish way... I hope. ;)

I've never been to Arizona. (This is mostly due to the fact that I don't handle hot weather very well at all.) I've got a friend at school who's from AZ though.

Haha okay, I did it. I'm Uberniftacular on twitter (and, frankly, everywhere else on the internet except LJ; I really need to get off my lazy arse and get a rename token so I can have the same name everywhere XD )

Hee, okay. Awesome people make me a little nervous, that's all. (Are all Ryan/Espo shippers named Jen? I feel like there's at least one more of us...I spent more time than is probably healthy reading all the old entries on

castle_slash, and I feel like there were a lot of people named Jen there. XD )

For the record, I am SO VERY ENVIOUS that you've met Seamus and Jon.

I'm going again next month! :D

I am pretty much starscythe everywhere... but I'm roachstar on here so I can say what I like without anyone figuring out I'm me ;)

Black Sluggard is also Jen... and I think there's another... lol!

Aw! My view is - if you want something enough, you can make it happen! and they ARE completely awesome and well worth meeting... however awesome you've imagined that they are, they're all that and more!

Cool! (Well. Warm. But you know what I mean.)

I've had this LJ since before I came up with the name "uberniftacular". And I've been wanting to change this one for a while (like...a year and a half? XD ), just haven't gotten around to it. Because I'm a lazy bum.

Haha, I thought maybe that's who it was.

Well, maybe if they end up in Chicago for some reason, lol. I don't really forsee myself getting to go to California anytime soon (grad school will do that).

Yes! I'm very excited!

You should! I changed mine not too long ago!

Dude if I can fly half way around the world on the off-chance that I MIGHT see them... I'm sure you'll get an opportunity! ;) Just an added bonus that they knew who I was because of my crazy tweeting to them LOL

Nu uh. Weird. I am like 40 minutes from Flint.

I grew up about 20 minutes outside Flint, lol.

LOL!

Yup. My mum grew up in Flint, moved out to the suburbs when she and Dad got married, they both still work in Flint. And that's where I went to college.

I was actually out there today, you know where the mall is? Right across from there is a disc replay, I went in there and sold a bunch of movies and then my friends and I had some other running to do, so we spent a good part of the afternoon in Flint and Swartz Creek.

Ahh, nice. I haven't been to that part of Flint in ages (um, mostly due to having been living in Chicago for the past 2 and a half years, lol). Even when I lived in Davison, didn't get out to that end of Flint much. If I had mall shopping to do, I'd end up at Courtland Center in Burton because it was much closer than going all the way out to the Valley. (Plus, I've never been terribly comfortable with expressway driving, and the 69/75 interchange right there terrifies the shit out of me, lol)

I HATE the freeway with a passion. I have only ever driven on it twice and both times I was forced to. The first time was on my drivers test, that was a friggin blast. I thought I was gonna die. For some reason it terrifies the crap out of me.

Yeahh. Highway driving sucks. I don't honestly like going that fast (at least, not when I'm behind the wheel. Speed doesn't scare me quite as much when someone else is driving), and the way other people drive is terrifying. That's the main reason I hate highway driving (well, and driving in general, really); it would be okay if there weren't any other people on the road. (Case in point: 75 isn't too bad once you get an hour or so north of Bay City. I actually don't mind driving it up there. Gets a bit sketchy again when you get in close to Gaylord, but there's a good hour or two where there's hardly anybody else on the road)

I'm okay when my friend Rachel, Tina, and my mom and brother drive, but after that, people scare the fuck out of me.

I also much prefer back roads period, I would rather spend the time and gas going that way then any other.

I prefer the back roads too. When I was driving in to Flint every day for college, I always took Court St or Davison Rd in to the university, even though taking 69 would've been faster.

For sure.
