It Took Its Sweet Time

[teddy_radiator]

Okay, I guess it's official. I'm weird. It's taken a week before the PCD (post con depression) hit me. I was too busy working my fat backside off last week upon my return to notice. Now that I have a little breathing room, I'm having all sorts of strange dreams about con - which involve my father, grandfather, and one of my uncles. All who have passed. They came to see me on Sunday at Con, and I was frantically trying to get to my talk at 11:30, but had to find my notes. WTF, people?

I dreamed about Con all night.

Well, it was a very important experience, and one that was very emotional in many ways for me. I guess everyone feels that way when you are saturated with such intensity for almost a week. The best thing is the friendships I made and the ones I increased, and the insights I gained about others and myself.

To be honest, though, I really need to get cracking on with things, so please, brain, get it out of your system and let me just have the normal strange dreams, TYVM.

Allergies have been reported in the 'Holy Crap, It's Bad' category this year, and I believe it. I've not had a bad bout with allergies in more years that I care to remember, but I'm really struggling. Wheezing, head full of porridge, gummy eyes, the Full Yuck. And allergy medicine, while very effective, knocks me unconscious. The non-drowsy stuff makes my heart race sickeningly, so I just have to deal with it. I either suffer, or sleep.Boo.

The good news is I ran my very dark fic idea by stgulik and not only did she not run screaming from it, but actually said, "It's a solid story line." She also said it was too multi-layered for the prompfest prompt, so I need to save it. This is a good thing; I don't think I could finish it before the end of the month, and I do so want to write it. There are several things I have languishing in my 'Editing in Progress' file that I need to finish, and hopefully now with a little less traumatic work schedule I can to this. I have come to realise that work was seriously burning me out, and I'm still a little bit in recovery mode. The big problem was that nothing looked right anymore. I have sat on a chapter of HM for almost a month because I couldn't tell if it worked or not. It will be good to revisit and see if I have any more clarity of vision over it.

Hugs to everyone who needs them. I know many of my friends are going through a tough time right now; my thoughts are with you, and I hope you find some peace and comfort in everyday tranquility.

Where are all these con-photos I keep hearing about?

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

Droxy has a bunch. I have two jump drives with them, but I haven't had time to do anything about them, but check out Droxy's and Logospilgrim's pages - they have some awesome pics. And FB has a ton as well.

There haven't been as many as I would have liked to have seen, but Droxy posted some... Sempra a few... and Logospilgrim posted some as well. Also there is footage of the fashion show and Logospilgrim's talk on YouTube. People are holding back!

Well, I lost my camera the last evening of con :( so all my lovely pics were lost. Note to self: download at the end of each evening!!!!

There are a lot of pics that were given to me on a jump drive by Sabrebabe, but I just haven't had time to go through them. There are hundreds, and Droxy sent me 80 more yesterday. There's a bunch on Facebook as well, but I'm sort of reducing my FB time, simply because I found I was constantly going on there to check up. Now I'm limiting myself to a couple of times daily, but I did see some really good photos. I might upload a few to tumblr if I can figure out how.

Some great photos, babe! I'm still giggling over the codpiece. Why yes, I am twelve years old.

[snarkysneak.livejournal.com]

How could you not giggle over the codpiece?

I agree, they seem to be holding back! ;) I guess I don't need to see hundreds of photos of Con itself...I'm looking to see the one or two snapshots of happy fangurls on my flist. *grumbles*

Here is a link to my Flickr account. I will post some more though.
