Fusion.

Con was really good fun.  Am now sad, for various reasons, but I shall try to forget that for long enough to type this up, anyhoo.  The guests (Nick Brendon, Emma Caulfield, Juliet Landau, Tom Lenk, Claire Kramer, Sarah Hagen, Elizabeth Anne Allen and James Leary from Buffy; Nathan Fillion, Jewel Staite, and Summer Glau from Firefly; Robert Patrick of Terminator 2, X Files, Faculty etc. fame; and Nickalos Brown, a costume designer) were all fantabulous.  The Firefly guests seemed to be pretty blown away with the enthusiasm everyone has for their show.  I was pretty blown away by them, and Firefly has moved from 'must get around to watching that sometime' in my head to 'must! watch! now!!'.  So I've nicked the DVD boxset from the bro.  Hoorah!

Enjoyed the costume contest, as [livejournal.com profile] merlan and [livejournal.com profile] thewatch were entering as Nightcrawler and Mystique, so [livejournal.com profile] brallaqueen and I were doing the backup thing ([livejournal.com profile] brallaqueen way more so, painting the designs on [livejournal.com profile] thewatch).  They both looked very cool, and won first place in the 'Best Demon' category.  I was a v v v proud sister and friend.  Hopefully one or both of them will post pics soon.

My camera batteries died, and in the end I didn't bother getting any more, so I won't have any of my own photos to post.  But I did get pics with some of the guests, which are here:

Me with Emma Caulfield and Nick Brendon Me being glomped by Robert Patrick! Me with Elizabeth Anne Allen (Amy the not-rat) Me with James Leary (Clem!)

So. So. So. Freaking jealous. O_O

*hugs* I'm so glad you had a good time. (Please disregard jealousy.)

*gives camera batteries*

*glomps* Don't be sad! For whatever various reasons. No reasons should be allowed to make you sad. *snugglescuddlesgivestea*

I'm ashamed to admit I don't recognize everyone. Who's the blonde? She looks a bit like "Amy" from BTVS, but that was my best guess. The last guy I have no clue.

And who's that chick with the glasses? ;)

I missed you :(

You should watch Firefly right away! But we went mainly for those guests, so i would say that.

Also, Robert Patrick should have kept his glasses on at all times. Am a sucker for a bloke in glasses, yummy :)

*huggles* Aww, thank you! Hope you get to go to a con that I can be jealous of, sometime! ;-)

I try not to be sad. Think I'm getting there.... :-)

Ah, I wasn't very informative, was I? *g* You're right, it is indeed Amy - she's often at the Starfury cons, and is absolutely lovely and lots of fun. We had a giggle about me being in the cat shirt and her being Amy-the-rat.

But how can you *not* recognise the last guy?!?!?! OMG, call yourself a Buffy fan?!?!?! I shall never be able to speak to you again, now. How can you NOT recognise Clem when he's out of his makeup?! Tcha! ;-)

And who's that chick with the glasses? ;)

I dunno, but she's alllllllways getting in my pics somehow! What an attention 'ho, huh?! ;-D

Aww, you were there? Damn, I didn't know! *pouts*

I shall watch Firefly asap, and I reckon I'll be up for this Starfury: Serenity con next year. Heeeee!

R P was completely adorable, wasn't he? Both with and without glasses, I thought. :-D

Awww. I shall miss you, but I completely understand what you mean. If I didn't have the flatrate thing for my internet access, I could only afford about an hour a week online! Although, maybe that would be a good thing in some ways ;-)

Hopefully we can catch up sometime soon... and I shall tell you my fingers-crossed-this'll-work-out-news now, then: Dad has decided to give Martin money towards his new car, and clear my debt with him* (they keep giving-us-money/presents like that, even between us, you see), but as that will leave me with a bit left over from the amount, I'll get some cash from him too. Which, I'm really hoping, will mean I'll be able to come on holiday in August with you. *crosses everything that's crossable* I don't actually know how much it'll be yet, but whatever it is, I shall put aside. *hopehopehopehope*

*tons of love and cuddles, plus Xandersnuggles and smooches*


* Value of house going up, that plus savings is getting dangerously close to the threshold where we'd have to pay stupid levels of inheritence tax should anything happen to the parents, so they figure they'd rather give it to us now!

I've friended you. This is not a personal journal but one created for tracking a project I'm doing for a mutual friend of ours. If you go look at the first post on this journal, it has all the details.
