grammarwomanSo if last year's unofficial theme was Vividcry, this was definitely Vividfeels. ALL THE FEELS. (Neville! Avengers! Once Upon a Time! Doctor Who! And tons more.)
I got to meet so many people for the first time (I'd name names, but I'm afraid I'd miss somebody!), and nod'n'smile at a bunch. Attending for the second time, I was relieved to not feel like a n00b all over the place. Many, many thanks to my roomies for squeezing me in at the last minute - sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye! You were excellent temporary companions.
My apologies to those that I incoherently babbled at for loving their vids. It was like reliving that Chris Farley bit from SNL over and over: "You know that vid you made? ...That was really cool." *sigh* I hope I wasn't too obnoxious.
I would love to see you all next year, including those who couldn't make it the past two years. (I feel like my TV show killing curse is spilling over into real life!)
In sorta related news, another month's hopes were dashed today when my period arrived. This means that the IVF machine is grinding back into production. Unfortunately, it looks like my timing is all wrong to try in September, and the October cycle would fall during the Emperor's birthday week, so that's a no go. So the best case scenario is catching at the end of November, which if I can count correctly, means showing up next year eight months pregnant. If I can do it for Joss Whedon, I can totally do it for Vividcon.
Saturday is a quickie day trip back up for the Chicago Creation con. I am looking forward to seeing Torri Higginson for the first time and getting stuff signed, and using up the ends of my gift certificates from vid wins. Of course, I can't wait to hang out with my fangirl peeps, too.
And now, off to shower and bed, before it's utterly stupid late.
