Not surprisnly, I’m still fuck-tired today. I had to take Jay to the airport this morning. She had to be there by five this morning so we left the house a little after four. Four in the morning. I went to bed early for me, but it’s still not early enough when you have to be up at four am. I tried to take a nap afterward, but I had to drive so far and come back and I was nervous about my day because I didn’t know how it would go and in the end, I probably only dozed about fifteen minutes out of the hour and change I had available. It’s pretty unusual for me not to be able to sleep, but I’m having anxiety about how I interacted with the famous people I met this weekend. I feel like I always come off as a total idiot and just complete jackass when I talk to people I love and admire. It suckkkkksss. I did okay with Paul Amos because I at least had thought about what I wanted to say beforehand. How was I with  Christian Kane, Aaron Ashmore, and Joanne Kelly? Bumbling dunderhead and/or awkward turtle to the turtle-i-est degree. UGH. I get freaked out just thinking about it, honestly.

 

But they were all lovely and kind anyway, and I had an amazing time.

 

The panels were all amazing. I went to all the panels, lol. Well, I didn’t go to ALL the panels. That would clearly be totally impossible considering how many panels happen at a time.  It feels like there are about a million going on at once. I do think there are something like 1,000 events going on at any particular moment. I know it’s not that many. But it is pretty amazing how many events they can have going on at once. You can scroll through the app and you’ll see tons of events going on at once. Not all of them are big events, of course. Sure you’ll have a few big things going on, and then you’ll have something with fans but that isn’t as big as say, Doctor Who or Stranger Things, going on in some of the big Salons and ballrooms. Then in the smaller conference rooms, they’ll have things on cosplay and writing and special effects plus things like fan panels. There are also performances by bands and comedians and the like. It’s so incredible.

 

I love making friends in line. I had such a blast going to wait in line with people. I know that probably sounds crazy, but it’s part of the fun for me.

 

This is the thing that should have made me realize that I’m not an introvert. I need lots of recovery time, but I love making friends in lines and in panels. It’s like you just suck up all the energy and the fun when you chit chat around with people in line.

 

The panels themselves are things I immensely enjoy too, of course. Listening to the cast talk about their adventures and experiences and what they think about characters and character development and just anything and everything. It’s so fun hearing their stories. Some of them still have incredible chemistry with each other and great senses of humor and it’s just a blast to watch them interact. Sometimes they’re still working together and sometimes they’ve been separated for a while, but still seem to have those friendships. It’s really, really incredible and for just a little while, you feel like you’re part of the show (or movie or whatever).
