Oh J. This is probably the most beautiful post I've read. I'm literally teary eyed and weepy at my desk thinking about the weekend and just how much it meant to be with so many people that I care so much about.
The pictures are beautiful, the weekend was amazing. But nothing is as perfect as it was to just spend quaility time with all of you.
*sniff*
Hopefully I'll catch you tonight in #discourse. I'll be on till late. Thank you for this post though. Really amazing.
Oh wow, I'm so glad I captured it for you. It just hit me how sad it would be not to let myself ... I don't know, appreciate, or wallow in, or be properly grateful for, this world and how much it means to me because I'm worried that my feelings are too strong and I look either pathetic or like a lunatic or both.
It was a nearly perfect weekend, wasn't it ... It feels like a dream, now, like I can't believe a week ago we were there doing that....
You aren't mad at me are you? This is probably the post-con psycho blues talking, but I'm, um, starting to feel just the tiniest bit dissed. No pic of me and you got my LJ user name wrong. Twice.
Mad at you? Why would I be?!?! I forgot a quote, which is why your lj name came up wrong. And as for photos - there are so many people I didn't get pics of but wanted to; there was nothing conscious about it at all. It was just wherever I happened to be (and with whom) when I had the camera out... it's all such a blur, but really, truly, there was no slight intended ... I promise I'll take pics of you next time!
I just checked - the mistake in your LJ name in the other post was because I put the apostrophe-s ("reginagiraffe's") inside the LJ tag, so it didn't recognize it! Sorry bout that :-(
It is a wonderful picture, isn't it ... Fitting, because it was a wonderful con. I wish I had more pics of you - next time I need to try to be more systematic.
Why do so many of us feel the need to apologize for our enthusiasms, to dilute them? I'm lucky, I think, to have something, and so many people, that I care so passionately about - why is it so hard to embrace that passion unconditionally?
Oh, you've made me all sniffly, and I wasn't even there this year! This is a marvelous post...
I'm glad you liked it... I spend so much time struggling with whether my enthusiasm (of which I seem to have a limitless capacity) is too much, makes me look insane or pathetic or - oh my god, the horror! - uncool, should I be restraining myself more ... But I can't seem to do it, and I'm thinking I should just stop trying (or try to). I'm thrilled that you want to ride the wave, too!!! :-)
This was a wonderful con - but really, I've said that about every con I've been to. And ... looks like I'm going to Con*strict, too!

I love that snuggle picture. And yes, the con was definitely life-altering.

No, I'm sure it must the post-con psycho blues.
