The very quick Arisia review

[geminigirl]

Met Fabulous new people. danger_chick is gorgeous, although not at all what I imagined her like. And fj looked quite demonic on Saturday night, which as I understand, was his goal. Great boots.

I have the best partners in the world. Really I do.

aquariumgirl is a great road trip companion.

Once again, managed to not make a single panel. Even the one I really, really wanted to make on Sunday morning.

Drama quotient, minimal. Especially compared to the last Arisia I was at. But would it be a con, sans Drama. At least it waited til near the end to hit.

I'm in love. No, really.

Good friends, good sex, not enough sleep, good sex, good friends.

Much groping. Much kissing.

10 minutes into actual con-participation (as in, picking up badges) and someone already commented about my tits.

I am really not a small orange cat.


It's not necessarily a bad thing when boyfriend says hello to your tits before the rest of you, because then you get to tease him about it later.

Major ego boost going to these events.

Oh yeah, I'm in love. Did I say that already?

Felt less compelled to spend money in the Dealer's Room and on Dealer's Row than in the past-the same stuff as always, but the stuff I really wanted wasn't in my budget, and so it didn't get purchased. Although I do now own a very silly dress. Maybe pictures of it sometime.

Good to see people that I haven't seen for a while-some since Arisia 2002, since I missed last year. Some people didn't make it who I wish I had a chance to see.

Staying til Monday was a good idea. I managed to not feel quite as frantic, quite as compelled to cram as much in by late afternoon on Sunday.

It was good to go, it was good to be home. Glad I went and actually looking forward to next year, instead of feeling so drained that I can't imagine going again.

I am really not a small orange cat.

While I like cats, this is good to hear. ;-)

[geminigirl]

Someone who reads this journal mentioned that she thinks of me as "small orange cat." He's not quite bright enough to write this journal.

[(Anonymous)]

And you said he's big now, too.

Amazingly enough I'm able to vaguely visualize the bubbly woman with the curly hair (and impressive cleavage) who I re-met this weekend :)

[geminigirl]

Indeed, he is.

But who are you?

And thank you.

[tommx.livejournal.com]

hey, wild guess...are you in love?

[geminigirl]

Bite me, you big meanie!

[tommx.livejournal.com]

apparently, you have several people to do that for you already. ;-)

[geminigirl]

Well, yes.

Unfortunately, I can't like, punch you or anything, since your arms are so long that you hit me before I get close enough to land a punch or a kick. And I'm just not fast enough yet.

But yes, Bite Me, Big Meanie...

[tommx.livejournal.com]

so what you do is block me, move in close so that my long arms become a disadvantgage, and tag me hard in the ribs.

that's what i do when i've got to spar ed anyway.

[geminigirl]

It's yet to work. I think the pieces need to be better organized first, and then the putting together happens.

[danger-chick.livejournal.com]

*blush*

What *did* you expect me to look like? More of a walking bruise?

[geminigirl]

Nope. Dark hair though, for some reason, my mental picture had dark hair.

I want to point out (perhaps admonish) is a better word, that neither pinkfish who I hung out with Wednesday night preceeding Arisia, or fj who I chat with regularly, mentioned that you were as beautiful as you are.

[danger-chick.livejournal.com]

That's funny about the hair color. I guess you weren't reading my journal when I was using an actual picture for my user pic, instead of the stained glass croquet stick.

As for what I look like *blush really hard*. The thing is that I am really insecure about my looks and actually feel more ugly duckling than swan.

I did hear that fj told you to bring out the cleavage (pronounced clea-Vahhhhge) for me, which I will be eternally grateful for. ;-) That's the one thing about dating boys -- no delightful bosoms!

BTW, it was really nice to meet you. Thanks for helping to get me into my clothes. ;-) We'll have to get together again the next time we're in the same town.

[geminigirl]

You know, the ideal thing to do here would be to respond with a thought about how glad I'd be to help get you out of them. But I'm not doing that.

I agree with you about the lack of bosoms on men. Totally. It's a missing thing. And yes, I was told to bring out the cleavage, although that kinda comes with the territory Arisia weekend.

It would be nice to get to spend some more time with you, next time we're in the same town.

And no, I wasn't reading your journal when your icon was actually you.

Which one was she?

[rapha.livejournal.com]

Im surprised at all the Arsia(party) people that were LJ people. Found 3 so far...

Re: Which one was she?

[geminigirl]

She wasn't at the party I was at with you.

I'm not sure I was with her at any point at the same time I was with you. Attractive, slim, muscular blonde woman. Nice legs, good boots.

[whitebird.livejournal.com]

I am really not a small orange cat.

Oddly, this line, due to formatting of my friends page, appeared right next to an icon of a small orange cat proclaiming to be you.

Just what am I supposed to believe here, huh?

[geminigirl]

I'm not sure even a polydactyl cat would be able to type this.

[melebeth]

The boyfriend was there and I didn't get to meet him? You MUST be kidding me. GRRR!!!!! (for the second time today)

[geminigirl]

I can't understand how you didn't meet him. Unless, maybe I only ran into you at the party, and nowhere else, when he was with me.

However, nudge me next time I'm on IRC with you-I have a possible thought about how to meet him next month.

Anabanana!

[rapha.livejournal.com]

It was good to see you again, and glad I could help out a bit, and glad you overall had a good time.

mmmm kissing

[madbodger.livejournal.com]

And love. Yeah, love is good too.

Re: mmmm kissing

[geminigirl]

Yeah, that kissing thing works.

Thanks for poking my bruises too.

[katishna.livejournal.com]

Someone tell me what Arisia is and how i can get there next year!
