kittydesadeDay One of DragonCon accomplished? Having crashed yesterday at some nebulous and random point after 9.30 in the middle of a Fast and Furious movie (I have no idea which one, Vin Diesel was in it and so was Jason Statham) I woke up at 6 in the fucking morning. Ended up getting in line for pre-reg before it opened because why not, which meant of course standing in a long-ass line till 10. If I'd been smart I would have waited because at around 10.30 it started zipping. Then stood in a long-ass line for a lanyard and a membership to next year's con. THEN stood in a long-ass line... I don't even remember what was after that. So far the only long-ass line I haven't stood oh, Blood Drive. That was the other long-ass line I stood in. And the only ones I haven't stood in are for the bathroom and to eat. Miraculously, that eating one.
Let's see, what was it. Pre-reg line. Lanyard line. Back to hotel room to relax for a few minutes, then it ended up being okay, sure, I'll do the blood drive and then meet up with everyone ever, because I got in before everyone. So blood drive, Thursday, should be quick ish, right? WRONG. But I did get to stand in line beside a nice couple and we all played Pokemon, took advantage of the lures that everyone seemed to be dropping, and caught endless fucking zubats. End. Less. In the blood drive. That was hilarious.
After that it was going and dropping off a keycard for Kiki, going and meetingviridian and her husband and wablet, running into Kevin Hearne after that and him recognizing me and confirming our dinner date! for today!! Friday!!! (date is misleading, dinner appointment? something) and that it was after his panel and I'd meet him there!!!! and now I am feeling all kinds of unworthy and oh god I am the least charismatic ever why did I open my big fat twitter mouth. But hey. That's what con is FOR, isn't it? And then after that it was meeting bethany_lauren and her coterie for dinner part one at a pub, and then meeting up with people again for all the fried cheese you can stuff in your mouth, and then I decided enough was enough and I was going back to my damn hotel room. With a ridiculously large slice of cake because they have the diner here that sells those.
And that was the first day. And today I have panels and meetups and more panels and maybe a Labyrinth sing-along to which I will wear my butterfly dress because dammit I will wear that damn thing and show it off and it is goddamn gorgeous. So there.
(My phone thinks I walked 12k steps yesterday. Oh god. And today is going to be busier. Oh god. Oh god oh god.)
