Epic illness continues, made worse by epic Misha Day last Saturday. I can't complain too much because it was excellent fun, and I got to meet up with lots of you lovely flist people!
Most people have already written dissertations on the wonder that was Collectormania, so I will just mention a few of my personal highlights, most of which were strange and unusual things.
I was very ill, I must start by saying, so I was kind of grumpy when I talked to Misha at the signing. I told him I was ill, and was amused when he replied that was a shame because he couldn't kiss me then. Well. Obviously.
We also had the great timing to be just behind the mini!Cas in the queue, and Misha's reaction when he first saw him was just gorgeous!
I have come to the conclusion being ill and drugged up makes it a lot easier to talk to famous people, because when we saw him again at the photoshoot I didn't really even feel that embarrassed when I asked him to hold my tentacle monster (not a euphemism). We were somewhat miffed when he said, "I thought it was a rat," because, yah, that rainbow-coloured blob with multiple tentacles rly looks like a rat.
Anyway, our photo looks
like this:
I think I'm actually drooping in this picture. And Misha is squishing our tentacle monster's eye. Poor thing.
We also went to talk to Julie McNiven, who was incredibly beautiful and sweet. I also thought it would be a great idea to go and talk to Jason Mamoa, who was insane and tried having a head-butting competition with
cienna. We had pictures with him.
They are speshul.

Jason was actually trying to eat my tentacle monster, but it didn't come out in the photo so now it just looks like he's about to attack me. I kind of love this picture.
After all that excitement, there was the infamous panel which was just hilarious. Definitely the best part of the day.
And afterwards a few of us hit up the pub and it was glorious, even if I was exhausted and ill, evidenced by the fact that I only drank HALF PINTS. The horror!
I was asked what my favourite moment from the day was, and for me it was definitely when Misha, talking about reading fanfic, mentioned one he had read where "Cas was choking on... someone's cock."
