Terminus semi-live-blogging

[slumber]

I browsed my flist and there were no Terminus updates, which makes me sad, but um. That's because the Hilton charges quite a lot for internet, which is the last thing you probably want to do in a conference for people who all got into the conference because of the internet.

I'm just saying.

So, like, I went to Wrock Chicago last Wednesday and listened to the headliners for the first time ever (except I've heard Draco and Harry before) with cmere (miss_charmed we have photos!), illuminations, jazzyjello, reallycorking, and I think longleggedit. Did not get to meet acidpop25 because of massive number-exchanging fail *facepalm* but Saturday will be better!

Wrock Highlights:

• Everyone jumping so much the floor was shaking, til we were told to stop because there's a conference downstairs and the people there are concerned.
  
• People actually following the rules, which, as reallycorking pointed out, says a lot about HP fans.
  
• The Remus Lupins saying "To hell with that, this is a rock concert, I want to see you guys ROCK!"
  
• cmere shouting "That is NOT Remus Lupin!" in response (because come on, Remus would follow the rules) JUST as the crowd quieted down, so that a couple of people (and maybe Remus Lupin) heard. ♥

Yesterday I met up with perculious and moonlitmercury, who I'm rooming with as well as Emily, Tai's cousin, aaaaaaaand we ran into slash_a_holic while checking in.

Registration Highlight:

• perculious singing and dancing "My Dad is Rich" for a 17-cassette audiobook of Order of the Phoenix.
  
• Finding out that I'm dueling.
  
  Yeah, no idea what that means either. I'm like. "What, really?" Apparently dueling means going up to your "mark" (kinda hard to do in a con of 1500) and saying their name in a conversational voice ("Hello, Rainsparkles25!") before waving your wand (Does my pen count for a wand?) and saying "Tumultosa!" (I'm sure I got that spell wrong; shit. :|)
  
• Having possibly the only two Terry Boot fangirls in the world in the same room. perculious and I are totally going to drive our roommates up the wall.
  
  Quoth Emily: "Who's Terry Boot?"
  
  Quoth moonlitmercury: We should totally have a Wizard Rock band. We can call it Terry's Boots. ♥♥♥
  
  Quoth moonlitmercury: You guys are terrible.
  perculious: Did you say we were terrible?
  slumber: Did you spell that with a y?
  
  But it is amazing. The password to our hotel-room-slash-dorm is like. Terry Boot is awesome.
  
• Finding really good programming.
  
• Finding Theodore Nott's rumored to have been cast in the movies already (LINE YOU TOTES HAVE TO SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HIM HE IS ALL KINDS OF PRETTY AWESOME. NGH. I'm gonna get the pic emailed to me so I can email it to you. :|)

The great big dinner was very Hogwarts-esque, which is cool except I felt like a first year, haha. Also, my roommates are all in the same house and I'm like. Not. Tragic.

Terminus staff keep telling us not to scare the Muggles away. I wonder why. :|

MY JEALOUSY. LET ME SHOW YOU IT.

Jack and Jaz and Tai and Bri and Lindz and you and maybe Acid all in one place and I AM NOT THERE. :(

I expect a whole lot of pictures of inappropriate touching. :( And maybe one of perculious in a sweater vest. She knows why.

EVERYONE SAYS HI BACK. OMG, I'm telling her! :))

[onlysayitonce.livejournal.com]

Tell everyone to try to have a little bit of fun even though I'm not around. I know it's hard. :(
