You know, I was really nervous about going to this since I've never been to an HP con before but so far it has been a blast. I met [livejournal.com profile] auntee_mame, [livejournal.com profile] furiosity, [livejournal.com profile] pixies, [livejournal.com profile] pikacharma, [livejournal.com profile] hufflepuffskb, [livejournal.com profile] longleggedgit, [livejournal.com profile] nqdonne, and [livejournal.com profile] pennswoods, among tons of other awesome people whose lj names I've forgotten. It took me SO LONG to find the H/D meetup and I was kind of lurking behind a pillar peeking out and squinting at [livejournal.com profile] furiosity because I once saw a picture of her on LJ and was trying to figure out if that was her or just a furiosity-looking randomperson, but fortunately she's way more on top of things than I am and was all "WE'RE THE HD MEETUP!" so I didn't have to figure out a way to furtively sneak closer and ascertain that I was not once again approaching a bunch of Harry/Hermione shippers and going, "heeeeey, H/D?" So then one of the few seats open was by [livejournal.com profile] auntee_mame who was the only other person I knew there at the time, so that was great.

I'm quite shy and since this is the first time I ever met any of these people I felt super-awkward following them around. Fortunately everyone was absolutely lovely and they didn't even shut me up when I got tipsy and started trying to dominate the discussion with Harry Potter and the Spacebrooms of Doom and my ramblings on Ron/Draco. I've never been around so many fannish people at once and it was a little overwhelming but very awesome.

Uh, also, at dinner I mentioned some PRETTY AWESOME fanvids and said I'd link them here, so:

1. Snakes on a Plane by [livejournal.com profile] dualbunny

2. In Exchange for Your Tomorrows by Lim. (I think I misremembered this as Snape/Harry but it's really just more Snape.)

p.s. - I left the lamest-ever friending comments because I was still not entirely sober and am also very sleepy and could not think of anything to say other than OMG HI PORTUS. It happens.

YAY, I'm glad you added me because I completely forgot to ask you for your lj name! Portus was my first con, too, of any sort, not just HP. :)
