bladesparkSo the big convention is over, and my short sum-up of my feelings about is this: pleasantly surprised.
I got there fine, enjoyed the flight over (Unlike many, I enjoy traveling) and the trip back went well, though I slept through it. I managed to leave my bedroll, hat, sandals, and who knows what else at Mai-li's (Nothing vital though) I wore my fangs almost the whole time, and actually managed to speak without a lisp by the end. I generally had a good time, loved meeting everyone, and am eternally grateful to Mai-li for putting this thing on. I can't believe how much she did.
So why the surprise? Couple of reasons. On a minor scale, this creature of the night actually has a tan. I didn't sunburn. I am shocked and amazed. The major surprise though was at my own behavior. Any of you who were there or who looked at the webcam much probably noticed me snuggling half the people who came. I was a regular snuggle-bunny. This is not me. Ordinarily I am very, very touchy about my personal space and who I allow inside it. I'm not sure exactly what changed... but I really enjoyed it. There's just something nice about having a cute guy on either side of you and another one rubbing your feet. This doesn't happen every day. Heck, it's never happened before. I've felt lucky those occasions when I had one guy to snuggle. And here I was collecting a harem.
Not only that, but I went there with the intention of not kissing anybody except maybe Cajun, and well... that didn't last long. I do not have virgin lips, but I've only kissed three guys before BC. The post-BC count is seven. I'm still somewhat startled... Though I don't regret any of it. (And incidentally, fangs are fun. They make nibbling on somebody's ear an entirely different experience.)
The only disappointment I had was how little snuggle time I got with Cajun. That's half the reason why I went in the first place, but he always seemed to be doing something when I went looking for him, and then he'd finally come downstairs and I'd be snuggling two other people at once, and no matter how much I wanted to jump up and snug Caj instead, I just couldn't bring myself to be so rude to the people I was with just then. I don't know... fate just conspired or something. But I've promised myself if I get the chance to go again I'm going to drag him off a lock him in a closet or something for a day or two. *grin*
