Home from the Hub!
Was it good?
Well I signed up for a gold ticket for the Hub 2
which cost £195
and I'm in the second half hundred.
... is it a hundred or a hundred fifty of those they're selling?
Anyways, lots of people wanted back again, including me.

I met John Barrowman and talked in full sentences and got sentences back that included "Good for you" and "And you've got it written on your boobs. Fantastic!"

I saw GDL singing. Very drunk. With his shirt going up so there was a gap.
It's not the most GDL skin we saw by a long way, yet somehow I likes it more.

I said hi to Kai Owen again. He is still nice.

I talked to Naoko Mori and said how I'd just watched 2-13 and it was brilliant and we talked about how Tosh should/n't come back. Because she could but it was such a great ending.

Also there were other guest people there. I got photos with and photos of and autographs and all.

I took very few notes because I was busy being in the room and not busy being fiddly and distant. Which is pretty cool.

I got many many compliments on my outfits. I actually looked as good as I'd planned. I'm so doing that again.

Also I got compliments on my dancing. Which is freaking weird. I mean, I still only have enough coordination for three out of four limbs at once, which is a whole limbs worth of improvement over when I started. My stamina has improved a lot though. I danced a whole lot and I can still move. I only have one joint that doesn't hurt and I think I have bruises on every main area of leg but, hey, still mobile!

I talked. Without stuttering. A little on my name on Sunday but in general I just talked.

I have discovered I don't actually have much to say. Got to work on that part.

I haven't read Agamemnon, or Wind in the Willows. I read the notes in the back of Agamemnon and up to the first messengers speech in the play. I read up to page 170 in WitW. I reckon from there I can fake it well enough for class Tuesday. And hey, Tuesday afternoon, I'm sure I'll have time to finish the texts before then...

I so shouldn't go to conventions in term time. Like, seriously. Shouldn't.

... I haven't actually checked my calendar for The Hub 2. It's possible I'm double booked even.
That would be a bit of a problem.

... now I'm trying to think of something I'd want to do more than go to another con like this.

... a con like this with more talking and some thinky panels and more guests and stuff?
... a con like this where the stuff I dreamed about GDL on Saturday night actually happened?
... er, yes, anyway...

So, I'm back, I'm tired, I've got letters about student finance and employer insurance to deal with, and I hurt in many places.

Also I got utterly *rudeword* soaked on the five minute walk between the bus stop and my flat.

But I'm happy.
That was a nice weekend.

^_^ You did look cool. I loved your hair, by the way. And it was great to meet you in reality!

also nice meeting in 3D yourself.
Now in my head you look like your usericon and your peopleface.
