Resurrection of the LJ account

After seeing how many of my fellow [info]penguicon congoers are on lj, I may have to start posting real, actual journal entries here again. When somebody friends you out of the blue, it's nice to have some kind of context to figure out who they are, no? Squinting at 100x100px userpics isn't always the easiest way to identify someone you've bumped into in real life.

I am still pretty wiped out from the con...my daughter woke up just as I was getting to sleep Sunday night, and understandably wanted to stay awake and spend some quality time with Daddy, since I'd been away all weekend. Despite a latte and two cans of Bawls, I am still ready to fall over -- I'm only being propped up by the anti-sleep field that all computers seem to radiate in my presence.

So, if you're amongst the dozen or so people I've friended today, hi! If you have no idea who I am, it's most likely that I ran into you at Penguicon and thought you to be interesting, intelligent, et al. Don't worry, I don't have any lj-drama reciprocal-friend hangups.

Ok, a stab at a con writeup will follow rest, as will the explanation I feel I owe to [info]socbiters as to why I quit posting here to begin with.

Fear not, I recognized you from the 100x100 userpic :)

I actually just added that one -- the others don't quite resemble me as much. =)

Likewise! It's funny -- I'm pretty certain that I haven't met you anywhere else, but I kept getting this sneaking suspicion that I should recognize you from somewhere. Penguicon 1.0, maybe? That'd be the only place I could think of.

Yay! It was awesome to have met you too. I can never get over how many cool people fandom concentrates.

Hey, did you do any panels at Penguicon 1.0? I could have sworn I saw you sitting up front for some discussion where I was in the audience. (Or maybe my mind is just playing tricks on me again...)

I'm pretty sure I did... I'm usually on "Intro to Fandom" panels (this year and last year it was "Intro to Penguicon") and the "Flirting & Romance for Geeks" panel that we had the first 4 years. I might have been on some costuming panels also... I forget, since sometimes I just get thrown on panels, but those are the ones that I'm not commonly on.

This weekend I met a cheery lass who has a penchant for visiting random hug-muggings upon me. Can life get much better? =)

Likewise! My original plan on Friday night was to stagger off to bed at 3am or so, but I hung out till 5am instead on account of the quality of the folks assembled in consuite. There aren't too many people who can make me want to stay up all night just by talking shit. =)
