Home from Terminus
Aug. 11th, 2008 08:08 pmIn fact, I got home at about 1am Monday morning (being local, that wasn't all that hard to do), but have been fuzzy-headed and grouchy all day and so haven't wanted to post.
How is it that it never occurred to me that there would be such tremendous post-conference crashing?
I will post a thorough accounting of the con when I'm less tired (which gives us a slightly lower chance of stupidity creeping in, like forgetting important stuff).
But I just want to say that I met the most awesome people at Terminus. Some of you I knew on LJ, a few of you I didn't (or only did through others' journals, or connected with very recently). But can I just say? Wow. A more gracious, generous, warm, funny, wickedly smart, energetic and engaging group of women (and one guy... ) I couldn't have invented in my wildest imagination. *thinks... Yeah. My wildest imagination couldn't have made up some of the creative and intellectual stuff going on over there! *grins
And the programming was really good -- but the conversation and the playing (cosplay most definitely included), spectacular!
I think I started missing people as soon as I got in the car to go home :(
I think that the above qualifies as a really wordy squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Also, thanks in advance to all you guys who actually used your cameras, for the sharing of the pictures. I greatly appreciate it... :D

I'd be thrilled to be Hermione to your Snape anytime, Droxy.
I'm thinking about possible paper topics so that if accepted) it'll be easier for me to attend at least one of the cons next summer...
