Went to ConneXions this past weekend. Was lots of fun. Got to meet justhuman, WesleysGirl, Mad Poetess, The Brat Queen, James Walkswithwind and a bunch of other people - go check out her journal for some of their journals. V. cool to be able to talk to people about slash and not have them look at me like I've grown three heads or something. Although, I did get some odd looks when I said that I was a Keifer/Lou fan - which is *NOT* RPS. It's fic using characters that they've played in movies (like Doc and Chavez from Young Guns or their characters from Renegades or even, like, one of Kiefer's characters from one movie and one of Lou's from a different movie) or having one of the characters be an original one, but having the characteristics of one of the actors (which I've seen in some zines using Kiefer's character from The Lost Boys). I got to see my first episodes of "Starsky and Hutch" and "Man from U.N.C.L.E.". They are both very slashable - but MUNCLE is so much worse. :0) And I love the "Starksky and Hutch" song vids. There was also a Gunn/Wes one (the only one from the Jossverse :0( ) that was really good. They may not be my OTP, but they're definitely cute. There were also some others that I liked - hopefully I can get the video of them all. The "Buffy" and "Angel" panels were lots of fun. (Especially when the question "Who wants to sleep with Wesley?" was asked and all but two raised their hands. And we were talking about Gina Torres being on "Angel" and someone commented, "Wash, come get your wife.") The Slashology panel was kinda cool. The Sex and Sexuality panel (aka the TMI panel) was lots of fun. Minotaur's introduction was funny - "Hi, I'm Minotaur and if you don't know who I am, what cave have you been living in for the past few years?" He runs a site with lots of slash tips and stuff. Don't have the URL handy, but it shouldn't be hard to find. Watching "Firefly" eps late at night with devon, Minotaur, and others was lots of fun. Especially while watching the original pilot ("Serenity"), Minotaur goes, "I'm a gay man and I'll admit that that's a great ass!" (about Zoe). And Devon's Mal outfit - which was very cool (even if the pants weren't as tight). After watching "Serenity", I'm now convinced that Kaylee is a slut and will do practically anyone. And the subtext between her and Inara was practically text. Some people had shirts with quotes and stuff from the "Very Secret Diaries" by Cassie Claire - which was cool. Got to pick up some more Kiefer/Lou zines (yay!) and then walked into the food court of the hotel/bus station with them on top of my folder - which I quickly switched. (Don't want any weirder looks than the ones I might already be getting.) At least the zine where the illo has them both naked wasn't on top. And I got adopted into the fandom while at the K/L panel - which was cool. And then when I saw Martha for the rest of the weekend, she'd tell other people who were around that I was a fan. And she also tried to get her son to bring some more zines for me, but he accidentally brought the wrong ones. The only downside to the whole weekend (aside from it being over too quickly), was having to tell my dad about it and not being able to bring up the slash side of it. I could do it, but I didn't like it.

And on a side note - it's snowing now. Why is it snowing in April - especialy in Delaware???
