i feel like i have so many things to say but don't know where to start my entry! i'm also debating what exactly to say, because i like to keep my travelogue flocked but like to keep convention reports public, so lets see how i go.

dom is attractive, dom is charismatic, dom is sexy. billy is adorable, billy is charming, billy makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.

elijah is not of this freaking world. i can list the tangible things that make him so fricking great - honesty, ~~shamelessness~~ complete lack of ego, openness, friendliness, awesome sense of humour; but when you're in his presence it's not just the physicality (all badfic cliches aside - oh my fucking god that skin, those eyes, the mouth, nose, the expressiveness, fricking EYEBROWS even) - you're just mesmerised. and it's not just the celebrity value. it's liek, woah. for a while a bit of me regretted not talking to him when bunnie & undone were in the hotel lobby, but now i think back i was kinda just happy to look and soak it all up. because (and you don't know the agony it causes me to recite this cliche here, but:) i can literally close my eyes and see him standing liek, RIGHT THERE, and it's still liek WOAH.

i am bad at the convention report thing. needless to say, it was amazing. before i went i was anxious about the repercussions of meeting the guys - i mean, my main concern was that meeting them would ruin the picture i have of them in my head, ruin any kind of inspiration for writing/creating that image has, but let me say, since seeing/meeting them this weekend, my fandom inspiration has shot through the roof. i'm so inspired and filled with glee and just overall refreshed for the whole fandom experience.

elijah experiences aside, the most awesome thing about the weekend was meeting and spending time with so many fandom friends. oi. it was very sad when it came time to say goodbye. i'm sure i'll see you again - whether it means coming to another convention or coming to visit yall, it'll happen. i'll make sure of it.

I'm so glad I got to hang out with you!!

ME TOO! <3

...ps. i will never forget the sound of your belch, ringing out through the cool evening pasadena air...

It was great meeting you! :D

you too!

I'm glad that meeting/seeing the boys worked so well for some of you. For me, of course, it was pretty much the nadir of the con, but I expected that.

They *are* unreal, aren't they? Each of them. For me, especially JRD, who should be nominated for God.

JRD was a big surprise for me - he was amazing. wonderful guy. were creation really as bad as you had anticipated?

...but now i think back i was kinda just happy to look and soak it all up. because (and you don't know the agony it causes me to recite this cliche here, but:) i can literally close my eyes and see him standing liek, RIGHT THERE, and it's still liek WOAH.

Those are the bits of report things I'm looking for and enjoy the most. I don't care if you experienced that on Friday at 13.55 or on Sunday at 8.05, I just want to know what you experienced.

And cliche's are cliche's for a reason: some are staggeringly true.

:) i'm glad you're enjoying the reports. i'm terrible at making big, comprehensive ones, but i'm sure things will come out of me in dribs and drabs.

Naaaaaww, wee 'lijah.

That was lovely, discreet yet enthusiastically informative reporting, darling. You take the cake. <3

hee! it was pretty short, considering i pondered about what i was going to write for like, 4 hours on the bus yesterday. heart!

♥ you. so glad to finally meet you. *sniffle* come stay with me in Trianne Towers pretty please.

I AM GOING TO. i promise! i have the travel bug now, i have a feeling that's what all my money will be going to for the forseeable future.

i can't wait to see you again, love!

So true!!! It was great meeting you (and sharing fries :D) and I got to get a slash button from you which is brilliant. I had been talking with

saklani2 about how great it would be to have a subtle symbol that other slashers would recognize and the button is perfect. Thanks so much!!!! :D Have fun with your travels and come to ORC next year! *hugs*

it was great to meet you! those fries were amazing. i'm quite fond of the slash buttons myself. i'm not sure if i'll making it again as soon as next year, but i'm sure i'll be around some time in the future ;D

how very cool...it truly is awesome and invigorating to be in their presence, isn't it... whenever i've been l;ucky enough to experience that , its left me charged for days....ahhhhh...afterglow...lol!

it is truly awesome. maybe someday soon you'll have that experience with robert rodriguez, eh? ;)

can't WAIT!!

Feeling is totally mutual! *bubbles with luff*

HART.

yes yes, to what you said about wee.

you're just mesmerised. and it's not just the celebrity value. it's liek, woah.

at torn, i just felt rooted where i was standing, i couldn't take my eyes off of him and i KNEW that but i couldn't HELP it. yeahyeah dom was right there too, but it was like elijah had a magnetism and a glow and i still cannot find proper words for him. i just can't. i try, and i get speechless. it has nothing to do with his fame... it's just him.

Yep.

It was so great meeting you too, I must've heard your name about twenty times at Fellowslash.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BOOK!! Making it, publishing it, being present at ORC to make me aware of it! It's not just about the convenience of paper versus reading off a screen; God, there's something about the validation of seeing these stories in BOOK form. It just feels so damn good to have it!

You are a lucky muffin for getting to do cool things like that.

And you have thoroughly confirmed my suspicions that Elijah is an alien.

I wish I had been able to spend more time with you; you're such a neat person on line. Maybe some other year.

*hugs and loves*
