Very sleepy good mornings, kids!
I am wanting to be tucked back into bed - as always, I had flight issues. The flight over, I was just running late and BARELY barely made my flight. Of course, then once I was sitting *in* the plane, they were like "we've got something flapping around back there - it's not serious, but we'd like to tape it down before we take off".
Because yeah, I'd really prefer it if nothing was flapping around on my plane, thank you!
But it was a direct flight and went smoothly and I landed in the airport and was met by Fod, after she stopped turning herself invisible. And we went and checked into the hotel and had a fabulous lunch at this seafood place.
On the flight BACK, I got there in plenty of time, for once - or so I thought. Until, as I'm getting through security, I can hear them talking about my gate and flight over the intercom and telling people to report there but I can't hear any real details. So once I'm through, I go and check and apparently the flight is late so I'd miss my connecting flight so there was a whole rebooking nightmare, but I got lucky and they actually did find a flight for me through Nashville but it meant I got in later than previously planned. And as, at about 10:30, I was landing I hear the airport guy say it's still 90 degrees out and I was like "!!!"
It's triple digits today.
When I got home, swmkit was PISSED at me. My god, I could hear him yelling in anger through the garage, the minute he heard the garage door go up, he was just *mad*. And I came inside and there was this very angry little face and just complaint after complaint. And I picked him up and he started snuggling, purring and yelling all at the same time so I knew eventually I was semi-forgiven. Until tonight, when the lucky cat gets to go for a rabies shot.
Anyway, the convention itself was *cough* an experience. Very, very surreal. I am trying to figure out how to talk about it and mostly failing - it's hard to separate out good and bad emotions from what went on when I try to recap it, and yet I kind of WANT to. If I just tried to post, at least right now, I'd end up dwelling too much on one aspect or another and giving a very lopsided view.
So instead I am just opening this up to a Q&A of my own - ask me some questions about it and I'll answer :) And with luck, that'll stabilize things in my head so that I can explain things. Plus it gives me time to wake up, because I am CLINGING to my coffee this morning.
PS. There was not enough coffee in the WORLD.
PPS. The only thing I can't answer at least some questions about is Bianca Lawson, because I didn't attend her Q&A or meet her or anything. (ETA because
shadowlongknife pointed out I am not clear) But if you want to know about VK, Amy, Jonathan Woodward, Camden Toy, Mark Metcalf or things in general, ask away :)
I love you guys. I am gonna keep you for a little while longer :) Although I haven't read my LJ for DAYS and I need to fix that this morning, meep.
