Her Life is a WIP

Back from Asylum and from the UK, where I had the most amazing time! After talking with some girls at the con and scanning the flist when I was at yami_tai's I know that for many it was a bit of a/complete nightmare, but Tai and I were lucky to have a complete different experience so as far as I'm concerned, I had the best of time :-)

Registration on Friday took all of ten minutes for us and our packages were as they were supposed to be. Then again, we only had the autographs so it might have helped. Speaking of, overall I think we queued for a grand total of 1h30? Like, for both sessions. And because we didn't spend all our lives in the - endless - queues, we basically saw all the panels, minus one - and it was repeated on Sunday so technically we didn't miss it at all. We were also lucky to always have good seats in the panel's room, without ever queuing to get in. Seriously, everything ran smoothly for us ♥ ♥

And the panels! Omg, so good! I remember having a great time at Asylum1? But it doesn't even compare. Every single panel we went to was fantastic. Like, the one with Jared and Jensen was just perfect - I swear it was like watching all those con vids on YT! I was squeeing inside (and ok outside) the whole time. Misha was insane and insanely good (god that man is CRAZY! But in such a funny way). Fredric Lehne started his own panel with a folk song turned SPN song which set the tone, it was a delight. Richard Speight Jr was a lot of fun. Samantha Smith, Amy Gumenick and Matthew Cohen were adorable and so passionate about working on SPN.

And then! Omg, and then there was (Charles) Malik Whitfield and Gabriel Tigerman, who are my new favourite guests at Asylum! Ok, after J2 and Misha but they were so fantastic. If you ever have the opportunity to see them at a con? Run, do not walk, and buy the tickets! A) They have wonderful chemistry and b) they're absolutely hilarious. I was laughing so hard I was crying. I'm not exaggerating at all, btw. I had no idea what to expect with those two guys but that was the most delightful surprise of the con ♥ ♥

So, in conclusion, Asylum made me insanely happy. I still cannot believe I actually saw Jared and Jensen live! At the same time! And Misha! And now I can also say 'hee omg I saw Malik and Gabriel in the flesh too' *bounces*

Ok, I'll try to write a report later - though this time I'm not promising anything - but in the meantime, here're some pictures: ( ASYLUM YAY! aka How I Managed to Make a Selection of a Dozen Pics. )

Okay so I was told it wasn't too late to decide to go to Asylum - it's not, right? - so I'm, well, I'm thinking about it now. Like, I've looked at my finances, I've looked at flights and stuff... and I'm thinking, ok, it might not be too late yet, but I still need to make up my mind once and for all, so I'm gonna ask some questions first and see where this leads me.

Like. Who exactly is going to Asylum? Just to have an idea - I already know about some of you but I also know I might be mixing up names so... since, should I decide to go, I'll be on my own, I'd like to know for sure that I won't spend the whole weekend on my lonesome...

Speaking of, is anyone else looking for a roommate, by any chance? I guess I could go and ask at the comm but I thought it might be better to start on my own flist, so... let's see.

Also, what about the confirmation letter? I know they usually take, oh, nine months before eventually deciding they might think of sending them out, so if I do buy my ticket and stuff, I guess there's zero chance of me having it by then? What's the plan, then?

I'm giving myself till Sunday to decide one way or the other... but, anyway, if you're reading this - hopefully you haven't all gone on strike already - and if you're going and you want to help me a little? I'm all ears. Tia!

Omg my internet is back! But I was told by Internet Girl that until the Official Repair Was Made This Afternoon, it could go away at any time, like in two seconds it could die on me again! So stressful omg!

The connection died on me Thursday morning - which as timing goes, really sucked - but it's back now. Oh Little Light On the Livebox, don't start flickering, ok? Just stay lit up all the time and we'll be fine.

Anyway. Hi! Am back from Milton Keynes, back from WinconUk 2.0 and hee that was so awesome! It was yami_tai's and my first fancon and we liked it so much that we decided to go to another one asap, so we're already thinking of signing up for Connotations in October. Conventions... they're so addictive *g*

Back to WinconUK; I'll post a report but I guess I have to kinda, you know, work today, so it'll have to wait.

Let's just say that this weekend was a) awesome, as I said and b) pure crack! The stuff fangirls can come up with when they're together... it might be a bit scary, really. But the best kind of course... fangirls always do everything in the best kind of way. Not that I'm biased or anything :-)

There was crack in the form of, I don't know, Jared/Jesus slash, Unicorn/Rainbow fic, naughty hangman with a scary sketch that was supposed to be a sort of J2 69, serious questions about the logistics of zombie sex, RPS in the form of, say, Bartender Guy/Breakfast Boy. The usual, you know? Oh, and Marmite tastes like crap, btw, I don't care that it's supposedly better on bread. No, just no!

Oh and now, thanks to charli_macboyd, if there's a zombie invasion, I'll know what to do to try and save my life! Seeing that I'm really afraid of three things, namely 1. sharks 2. clowns and 3. zombies, this is good news.

Another consequence of being at a SPN con all weekend is that I have this insane craving for the show - I mean, more than usual - so I think I need to do a little SPN marathon in order to quash my hunger. Starting tonight, if possible *nods*

Before I start with my rambling; let me wish the Happiest and Best Birthday to a beloved member of the French Posse, french_hobbit! Hope you'll have a fantastic day, girl *kisses* I wish we could see more of each other because GD, Sam and I really miss you when you're not around but c'est la vie, I guess? *kisses some more*

Today is bank holiday so no work for us, whee! I'm seeing tbf!Rissy and if everything goes according to plan, we'll go and see Zodiac. I say 'if everything goes according to plan' because a) we usually have the worst luck as far as going to the cinema and seeing the film we originally wanted go and b) today is the day Zodiac comes out so I'm pretty sure it'll be packed. We'll see *fingers crossed*

Oh hey, have you seen those pics from the different Q&A at Asylum? I don't know what kind of camera patsie had and where she was sitting exactly but I don't think I've seen better - and more gorgeous - pictures of Jensen Ackles & Co, wow ♥ ♥ ninjetti75, if you haven't seen those entries, run, don't walk, and fall even more in love with your the man! And when I said Allison Mack is gorgeous? You'll see for yourself that I wasn't kidding. Not that it'll be anything new per se but still...

I watched Heroes yesterday. I liked it well enough, I just love how the show messes with our heads but I wasn't, like, killed ded by the thing. Still, I can't wait for the finale. And also, ( is that a sort of spoiler? I think it might be. ) I adore them together ♥ Speaking of Heroes, I've heard about the spin-off and the voting and I guess I'll watch it too because I'm curious about it. And if non-Americans can vote, I'll certainly try because chances are I will find at least one character to root for and wouldn't it be nice if they did join the original cast? Could be fun. Well, I guess so, we'll see how it turns out, anyway.

And speaking of Renewal of Love, SPN s3 is a go, woohoo! I couldn't wait for it to go official. Oh, boys, never leave us omg! *clings* I can't believe tomorrow will be the last episode before months. But I so cannot wait for it because the last episode was pure hell! Oh, Kripke, you magnificent bastard! *worships* Hey, since apparently Asylum 2 will be all about SPN - hee A2! All SPN! - wouldn't it be awesome if Eric Kripke and/or Kim Manners were there too? Well, if we get either/both Jared and Jensen, I mean. Or! Papa as well! Dude, a fangirl can dream, right?

I'm back, flist! Or let's say I'm physically back but my mind is still in Coventry. I'm still completely high from the whole weekend and I just don't know when I'm coming down! It's a good thing I took tomorrow off because I'm pretty sure I'd have been good for nothing *has a thought for poor and unlucky moimoietmoi who couldn't take one* *and has another thought for angeliksmall and jedicathy who are still there*

I'll try to do a real report - I even started writing down some stuff right after Jensen's Q&A session - but just the thought of tackling the thing tonight is making me even more knackered that I already am, which is saying something!

But as a first not!report let me say that I can die happy cause it's done! I SAW JENSEN ACKLES OMG! He was as pretty as ever - yes, even with the little beard and I'm not even into facial hair usually - and so much fun! He's funny - a girl asked for the bee story and the way he told it cracked me up! - and sweet and hot and did I say funny? Also, hearing him talk about Jared and JDM is pure love! You think I was already in love with him before? It's nothing compared to now ♥ ♥ Another moment of love was getting his autograph; can you imagine he was twenty centimeters away from me? Seeing him for real this weekend was a bit surreal, I have to say :-)

Also, the poor guy was a bit shaken up after a crazy fangirl threw herself on him and refused to let go. Dude!

I also might have fallen in love with Allison Mack - I got her autograph too - who's so incredibly gorgeous and adorable and just so very open and friendly and funny; she tells some great stories about her work in SV and Tom Welling & co. Incidentlly, the girls and I actually found ourselves face to face with her at one point when we were waiting in front of the lifts. Twas cute.

Justin Hartley is incredibly funny and so very much high maintenance, wow! lol Man, I don't know what crack he was on but he cracked me up!

And then there were Alona Tal and Nicki Aycox and Alan Ritchson and Jason Manns who performed Saturday night and I just knew Jensen would come and he did join his buddy and - GOD!

Oh, also? This afternoon? The whole gang - like pretty much all the actors, yes including Jensen omg! - passed, like, twenty centimeters from Cathy, Cookie and I when we were randomly waiting in the main hall. We weren't expecting them at all except we suddenly saw Mr Bodyguard and I was like oh oh! Jensen has to be around here! And he was! Even better yet, everyone was as well and just - yay! actors! Life is made of small pleasures like that *nods*

And and! I've met up with admiralandrea and morgan32 - *kisses both* - and I've found rhianne at one point and then recognised and introduced myself to mrscutedean and I've also met another French fangirl darkfan and a friend of hers - in a whole 'biggest coincidence in the history of ever' thing - and I'm so sorry I couldn't see more, like frayen or jacqui_hw but, man, it was crazy over there and it feels like it should have lasted a whole week, you know? Except that I'm not sure we'd have survived.

And I've also seen the last episode in a room filled with fangirls on a big screen and, man, watching SPN with 70+ slashers? Is such an amazing experience! ( No comment on the episode apart from the state I was in aftewards )

And that's it for now. In conclusion? *squeeandflail* I did mention I was still a bit high, right?

On a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being HeeSPNFriday! and 10 being OmgI'mDyingHere! my excitement about any new episodes is about, say, 15. On a normal, average day. But, today, due to massive flist scanning all day long - work was kicking my ass, I needed the distraction - said excitement was completely off! the! scale!

I didn't read any spoilers, and I didn't need to. Just the post-ep reactions were enough to make me want to go home and watch the episode so bad that it was pure torture! I was this close to go and see my boss and tell her that, sod it, I was just going to leave work early and go home to watch my beloved show, thank you very much.

The first thing I did when I did get home was to start my download and then I snuggled in bed and watched it and OH GOD! ( Much flailing inside, but I'm cutting this in case a spoiler slips. Which is my way of saying this will be full of spoilers for 2x20. )

That episode is the prime example of why, even though I acknowledge its faults and flaws, Supernatural will always be one of my most favourite shows ever. Few series make me feel so deeply and I'm a sucker for emotional reactions when I'm watching something... Oh, SPN, I love you so much ♥ ♥

Now I need to go and hunt for some WIAWSNB - man, that's a mouthful - icons. I swear I need a hundred icons just for SPN lol

Speaking of which, next week, at this time - if everything goes according to plan - moimoietmoi, angeliksmall, jedicathy and I should be on our way to a room full of 50+ fangirls to watch the first part of the finale! *can't wait*
