Look! You had a con experience without having to pay for it! That means you win.
I really enjoyed Fanboys even if the reason the two leads fell out was clearly not because one wanted to get a proper job but was in fact because they broke up after being together all through high school and then long distance with college. WHAT?
Wil Wheaton sighting! I actually am kinda jealous.
I love all fannish conventions, even when I'm the wrong kind of geek. There's just a great energy to any large group of people indulging in whatever it happens to be that makes them happy, whether that's slash, anime, comics or gaming. I would totally support a secret not-judging-you handshake.
If David Cook's classiness making you cry is wrong, then I don't want to be right. Like how I cannot watch him and David Archuleta singing ADAM in Manila without bawling (go to 5:15 for full on woobie mode, but also of note is his simple "this is for my brother and everyone here" dedication at the beginning). Or how he did this the day after Adam passed. Or how how refuses to share details, ever, but is totally okay with being emotional and showing that to the world. If that does not make you at least a little teary and love him even more, then you are a robot.
Is that second link his speech at the cancer fundraiser run? I ran across that the other day and holy crap, it made me cry. It's so beautiful, and he makes it about OTHER PEOPLE, about the community (and they respond with so much love and support, which is ALSO beautiful), and I just. I'm kind of awed by how he dealt with that, honestly. And I seriously don't think I've ever wanted to hug a total stranger quite so much.
Of course, here I am talking about how classy he is when he's over on Twitter talking about hookers. Heee. Which is ANOTHER thing I love about him. He is this amazing combination of goofy and fun and hot and yet--to all appearances--such a good, solid guy, too. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I LOVE HIM. IN SO MANY WAYS. And if he goes to Vancouver, I am ALL OVER IT.
My sister was a huge DCook fangirl last year, and I kind of absorbed him by osmosis rather than being into him in a fannish way myself. But I watched a lot of his season with her, and I helped her vote for the finale (illegally from Canada *cough*) and so I still have all this affection for him whenever I see him around AI comms. He's such a weirdo, and also such a woobie, and the two things kind of offset each other in this really fascinating way.
Have you seen this fic, speaking of things that might make a person feel slightly uncomfortable and yet are awesome?
He is a total weirdo, but he really seems like MY kind of weirdo, so... that's a big part of his appeal for me. *g* (Actually, guitar and voice notwithstanding, it was his BANTER that first really hooked me. I looooooooooooooooove bantery people, and he's SO DAMN GOOD at it. GUH.) And then the woobie side is just pretty lethal, regardless. Sigh. Naughty and nice and dorky is a very difficult thing for me to resist. *g*
And I have read that fic! I don't know how to feel about it! RPS is COMPLICATED, dude. Heee. She is a brilliant writer, though. (Did you read that one that someone wrote that's, like, Adam/Cook, Kris/Katy, Kris/Cook, and Kradam? It's GENIUS.)

Your fannish rhapsodies make me smile. ♥

YES, exactly. In the absence of a handshake, I just settled for smiling at people. Heeee.
