Slash Gathering June 06
I had THE BEST TIME yesterday.
I love my friends. I LOVE that our friendships have grown beyond that which brought us together over the years. I love the fact that we hang out, and talk about Life Stuff, and snuggle, and cook (well, not me, obviously).
But yesterday was all about our Mutual Love.
We watched many songvids, mostly brought by me (and hasn't my last couple of days been - focussed) so I got to pimp some of my favourites. Pimping is just so much fun.
silver_b_a then put on the pilot of Life On Mars, and the two? three? people in the room who hadn't yet been forcibly sat down and pimped to yet got to finally see it. To the accompaniment of 'That's Gene!' 'Gene rocks!' 'See how fabulous Gene is pushing people around and being a bastard?'
Sphinx brought along Big Wolf on Campus, which some of us liked, some wandered off to chat, or help organise dinner.
After dinner there was opening of presents by the birthday people. ravenclaw_harpy got the crappy 80's tv show War of the Worlds, which only me and her like, yet we insisted people watch some, so they could at least know what Colonel Ironhorse looks like. So, SO BAD. At least people got a laugh out of it.
And silver_b_a got Space: Above and Beyond. Which is a GOOD show. So, we watched the pilot episode, and cheered whenever McQueen came on the screen (what? I wasn't the only one!) and pimped the characters to the newbies "That's West. He's supposed to be all heroic and tortured. Forget him. He's whiny.' 'This is Hawkes. You WILL love him.' 'McQueen and Hawkes are looking at each other!!'
Fandom is good.
