it's been a long time since we last saw each other but heliosphan came for a brief visit. in fact, she's already on the plane to her next destination. she flew in, we had dinner, then i took her out for some gay karaoke and to meet olive. the next day we wandered around little tokyo and union station so she could take photos for her class while at night we went to knott's scary farm. today we had lunch then said goodbye.

it was a nice visit, even though she got sick on the plane. when we picked her up at the airport, as soon as we got in the car and she started talking, i'm sure i was smiling big and almost wanted to laugh out loud because it was all coming back to me. her personality, her gestures, just her persona overall. it was like, yes, that's heliosphan! ^_^

with the fire show performers

as for knott's scary farm, it was her first time there and her first time for any halloween event like that. i love knott's scary farm. at first you're a bit scared but i'm the type who gets braver if the others with me are scared. then as the evening goes on, you get used to things and it doesn't phase you so i actually was never spooked that night. as always, i got super excited in the goth-industrial maze. they were blasting an instrumental loop from "nwo" by ministry and the first thing i saw in the maze was a poster of siouxsie. it was torn up so that you could only see siouxsie but i'm pretty sure in the original picture she was posing with robert smith or he's in that photo session so haha on you fat bob, you weren't in the maze. damn, i wonder if a siouxsie fan set it up? wait a minute, how could you tear up a siouxsie poster even if you don't like fat bob? whatever, it was cool to have siouxsie as a part of my evening. we also watched one of the shows based around fire and one of the girls was really working the hula hoop so i had my picture taken with her but all the other performers decided to join in hahahaha.

for union station, i think i took a train from there as a kid but never truly in my waking memory. the train tracks themselves are blah but the station is so beautiful in its art deco decor. i just love it inside. it also has a cathedral feel to it. there's a whole section off limits for filming only. how lovely it must be to use it.... next time, i must visit heliosphan instead of her coming out here.
