shoebox gathering

[regala_electra]

Heh, I accidently privated my little panic-post this morning. Basically I totally forgot about the shoebox gathering in NYC. And I went online at noon today and realized...oh, it's happening today at 12:30.

So I had to rush to get dressed and get to the train station and caught the 1:20. While calling one of the organizers and totally apologizing for being so late.

I finally got to the hotel by 2:30.

Y'all? It was awesome. I'll have a more in-depth post up tomorrow, but suffice it to say, much fun was had, much snarking was to be heard and spoken, and much loving of HP pairings occured. And PoA was played on a laptop, so yes, there was indeed great joy at the best parts.

Such as The Hug That Never Ended. Dear god, I forgot how very gay it was. Viva la hoyay.

So many truly nice and fantastic people were there. So many incriminating pictures.

Sadly, I didn't take any, but I do have a link to a group pic. For any newly friended people, I'm in the back holding the red balloon (ignited drew a Remus/Sirius porn picture on it - hawt damn).

Ooh, and I'll have to tell you all the fun of getting to the parking lot at the train station and learning that your car is dead. Luckily, my mom was driving nearby and was able to take me home and later on, my dad and I went out to jump my car so I could drive it home.

Because nothing says chaos, like well, me and my swiss-cheese brain.

But! WHO IS WHO?

And I should have gone! I don't even read SBP but I should have gone just because I COULD HAVE. ;)

Gargh, I hope some one posts a 'who's who' because I'm totally blanking out.

<--- not good with names

I am as I've said, the classy, reserved, and totally not holding a balloon with a porn drawing.

ignited is on the bottom left corner with the Phallic Wand. And ladyjaida (one of the cowriters of shoebox) is in the middle of the pic.

You SHOULD have gone. Damn, we need to set up a "Vaguely NYC Tri-State Area Meeting of Fangirls Who Don't Really Go Out Much, But Hey, There's Food, So Why Not" meeting.

We could call it George and it would be our friend.

You are seriously pretty.

Also, you are SO holding a porn balloon.

(And I admit, ignited is the one I was most wondering about, because I actually know she was there. I have no idea who else went, haha. Well, I knew Jaida was there, too, but I know what she looks like, so.)

Yes, ignited tis very cool.

You are seriously pretty.

I am also seriously floating away. Thank you.

Yay to porn balloons. I'm now off watching SNL. Kate Winslet and Eminem? A new OTP? Even if not, because I luff them both.

What a rip-roaring good time that looked like!! *envious*

PS: You're so PRETTY! *amazed*

PPS: Who is that dressed as PoA!Remus? It's too adorable. ^__^

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

There was indeed rip and roaring. And crepe paper.

You're so PRETTY!

Aww! That like, made my night. I'm very weird about my looks, sometimes I think I look okay, other times, I feel like I should add a tail for I feel all beastly. Grr.

As for your PPS, I'm blanking on her name. Hopefully someone could post a roster, because she was really sweet. Even when someone put the pornstache and scars on her face with a sharpie marker, even though they'd brought makeup. *whoops* Hee, her outfit did rock and she had Remus-y socks! Yay!

I'm glad! ^___^ It's true, too. But, I know what you mean, having on and off days as far as attractiveness goes. Somedays I think I'm Teh Shit. Other days I think I am shit. >__<

That was done with sharpie? Eeek. It's cute as hell, though, that little 'stache and everything. She's working it.

Do you still have the pr0n balloon? I want to see it terribly.

And I have to apologize, because I haven't read your latest fic yet. *so much shame* Well, I don't think I'll do much in the way of sleeping tonight, hopefully I'll be able to read at least half of it. ^^

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

That was done with sharpie?

Yep. She did get most of it off though, there was only a lingering streak across her face.

Do you still have the pr0n balloon? I want to see it terribly.

No. It wasn't mine and someone else took it and popped it to shrink-size it, but it exploded all over...so the porn only lasts in the pics I'm afraid.

[moment of silence]

As for the fic, hey that's cool. Whenever you get the time, go ahead. *g*
