Um, so, Shore Leave was pretty much amazing? Like you guys are surprised. I don't think I even have it in me to make a full report, because the entire thing was one big blur of me hugging everyone who asked for it and some people who didn't seem to want me near them at all or, you know, have any clue who I was, and then seeing David Hewlett fondle a guitar and having Kate Hewlett talk directly to us about her purse and Jewel Staite nearly brushing me with her bare legs that are long and gorgeous and fa;jgalkmgawfl and, okay, I'm breathing. Right. Yes.

I totally had a panic attack like that right before stepping into the room for a picture with David and having to touch him. NO HARDSHIP of course because he is even more fit in real life than I'd ever imagined and he smells like warm sheets, but I look somewhat like I've stuck my finger in an outlet, and he looks somewhat like he's not had a cup of coffee for three days.

Anyway, I met a bunch of amazing fangirls and bounced all around them like a hyperactive puppy for most of the weekend.

exsequar,

kashmir1,

amberlynne,

hebrew_hernia ,

tty63 and I shared a room - which, well, not much sleep occurred, what with the giggling and the episode watching - and it was fabulous. And on TOP of that, I had:

ladycat777,

darsynia,

stillanne,

grammarwoman,

wolfshark,

kimberweemee and

kimberlyrdf (briefly because I was distracted by the Hew's...Hewlishiousness),

emyrys,

sam_gamgee (I'm so sorry for dragging Anne away like that, it was totally rude! I didn't realize you two were conversing and eeeek), and probably a bunch more that I'm forgetting because I suck or because I never asked your lj names. Please yell at me if you were there!

There were a few faces I thought I might have recognized, but my eyesight is notoriously horrible and badges are tiny, so I couldn't get up the guts to go say, "HI, ARE YOU ON MY FLIST! :D?" in a timely manner. But if you thought a girl in a red dress/colorful skirt might have looked at you and been a total ass about not saying something? It's because I'm a wimp, not because I don't love you. Wimp wimp wimp.

ladycat777 is adorable and gorgeous and totally didn't mind when I all but bit her face by accident while attempting to replicate Parrish and Lorne's epic gay love. That was slightly embarrassing but she even hugged me afterward! This is unheard of! I miss her massively already even though it's been about...five hours since we last saw each other. I think this mini meet up we've decided will occur sometime, somewhere needs to seriously happen.
Jewel, aside from being so absolutely gorgeous and sweet that I want to feed her cookies, is also an incredible dish about her fellow cast members. She mentioned David re-writing songs to fit Atlantis: The Musical, and specifically slipped "Titanic" in, which has left me imagining David singing My Heart Will Go On with relevant space epic lyrics.
darsynia bought a matching pair of action figures from one of the vendors upstairs and, because we were a bunch of fangirls sitting on the floor in a random hallway, this was the hilarious result (as captured by hebrew_hernia):

I'm sure we all said wonderful and stupid things that I'm forgetting, and I'm equally sure some of the things that came out of my mouth this weekend fell gracelessly and with much sound into the second category, but I can't think of them right now. So! I'm going to go steal some more of

hebrew_hernia's gorgeous pics (which she will hopefully post [except, um, not the ones that feature my boobs]) and make icons out of them while I attempt fruitlessly to catch up on my flist. If you have an anecdote to share, pleeeaasse dooo. I want to hear!

...omg david hewlett. *squeak*
