Connotations! Well, post-Connotations. A post-Connotations Post.

I went to Connotations :)

Yay.

The hotel was a bit rubbish, but that's for another post, and does not detract from the general wonderfulness. I met the people! I got at least two people semi-interested in my fandom of one! Cake was an everyday occurence, and gay porn was randomly distributed! But mostly the people were lovely. And some promised to write me slash! And I contemplated a scary comment here about knowing what they look like now, but probably I should just call them lovely and not threaten them quite yet.

And fides made me shiny Malcolm in the Middle DVDs, for which I never had a chance to buy her a cider, and feel very guilty about :( And my computer continues to be rubbish and refuse to play them anyway! I can hear them, but I can't see them. But Realplayer is saying useful things about downloading stuff from the internet rather than just 'cannot play file, omg' like before. So hopefully when we get our internet sorted out, that should all be fixed. We're getting a 'Rescue CD' from Wanadoo now. Joy.

But Connotations. There were fandom postcards. And sneaking in to dinner early. And watching of QI and shrieking every time Stephen Fry called him darling. And then I had to come home to my flatmates and explain what squee was and how to properly use it in a sentence. And I did a panel! Although Sarah did most of the talking. But I got to sit in the throne chair! And people came up and said it was a great panel. Which it so was, being mostly talk about the gay, and the history of the gay in Britain. I used the wrong words sometimes, but omg, I chaired a panel! :D

Probably I will do a proper con report at some point. But I sort of have to catch up on uni at the moment. Real life hardly even compares to Connotations, but I struggle on. (Gay porn 4eva, omg)

Hello! Shininess abounded, yes. And I forgot the fannish sand-writing! Which you weren't there for! But never mind. It was wonderful, and I met lovely people :)

Ack, thought you were calapine!! Too many new people!! Sorry. The shininess remains good and true though. Yes ::gives flower?::

Were you there for the fannish sand-writing? It was rather special. But I have pictures even if not, so hurrah.

It was a throne. It was totally a throne.

And real life is such, such a disappointment. There is very little squee. Very sad.

It was so a throne. But don't tell the commoners ;)

Real life disturbingly dull. I have decided to fix this by fancying all of my seminar tutors. And possibly slashing them. I don't know.
