Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

And that's part three. It'll probably be the longest but I'll try to keep it in one post, shall I.

( Misha Collins meet & greet + panels: Misha Collins & Sebastian Roché, Jensen Ackles, Chad Lindberg and Rob Benedict again, Mark Sheppard & Richard Speight jr, Misha Collins & Jensen Ackles, Steve Carlson concert, photo op with Chad Lindberg, When Harry Met Sally re-enactment video + another couple & other general impressions and stuff. )

... hi world.

Alright, so, I went to JIB, I took pics, I took notes, I hugged Chad Lindberg and I had the time of my life. And as per last year, I'll go and write a report, which will be as detailed as I can. I have reports on all of the panels except one (though the first day will be less detailed because stuff happened and I was too ecstatic to bother with notes), I have pictures which are for once good and I have videos as well (which I'll just link from my youtube). Now, just a couple things I'll say here before going to the fun: at the end of day three I'll post a zip with good pictures from all the panels (or, my selection). Then at the end of each panel I'll have a zip with all the pics I took from said panel and not just picks. Some of them might not be 100% focused, but if I kept them it means that there's something decent in them anyway so don't mind that. You're absolutely welcome to snag and use them wherever you want, though if you use them for graphics or whatever I'd like a credit back. Same goes from panel summaries.

Also: I posted photo ops. I'd really appreciate if they stayed on this post without going anywhere, k? Thanks.

So, uhm, alright! Let's go with day one.

( Opening and stuff, panels: Sebastian Roché & Mark Sheppard + Richard Speight jr + Chad Lindberg + some Rob Benedict, and ranting about how Chad Lindberg is amazing and omgomg I GOT HUGS. And cocktail party! )

Okay I'm half-dead and I have the twenty minutes with Misha and 15 other people at 9.30 AM so I'll be brief.

Yesterday I hugged Chad Lindberg three times in two hours. I'd just like to state that I don't know how I survived. Also I have good pictures and I have notes and I'll put everything up on Monday. That said, I HUGGED CHAD LINDBERG THREE TIMES and most of my ops look good and btw Rob Benedict is the most adorable human being ever.

Okay, I just really needed to state that I hugged Chad Lindberg three times. *squee*

1. Point 1 and 2 are what I'm now calling the proof that today is a good day.

( potential HEAVY Lost casting spoiler, you probably guessed what it is already but still, cutting it. )

2. Point is, point 1 came and made the day more awesome, but it had already started awesome. Okay, now I'll probably pass for the seriously insane fangirl, but anyway. So, yesterday Chad Lindberg of SPN fame (I reiterate: Ash used to be my favorite character before he, er, died *sigh*) reaches 2000 followers on Twitter. I congratulate him on the achievement, then go to bed. Then I wake up and he has answered me and wished me an awesome weekend.

The actor playing my former favorite SPN character actually wished me an awesome weekend. How freaking cool is this guy? *____* Damn. I miss Ash like crazy. And I kinda wish he'd go to the con we'll have here *crosses fingers*. Because if he does... no but anyway, he tweeted back at me!! *is still ecstatic*

3. Okay, again with the caring is sharing meme...

For one week, recommend/share:
Day 1: a song
→ Day 2: a picture
Day 3: a book/ebook/fanfic
Day 4: a site
Day 5: a youtube clip
Day 6: a quote
Day 7: whatever tickles your fancy

Today's picture won't probably mean anything if you're not into Jersey people/music (I'm sure wandersfound is laughing her a** off now at my ridiculous Jersey love), but I found it while I was searching for one and it's like, all the best Jersey music/cinema can offer in one shot. The quality is kinda crap but...



I mean. JBJ, Southside Johnny, Danny De Vito, Little Steven AND Bruce?

Yeah, I'm a girl obsessed with people from NJ. No news.

4. Today I went to see Videocracy. My only reaction: I really want to emigrate. And that's all I'm saying for now on the matter. For now.

5. Blah. I need to start writing again. Last week between medieval idiotic philosophers and stuff I didn't manage to get a full sentence down and a) it feels weird b) knowing myself the more I make it last the more I'll be lazy and considering that I have 50000 words of two fics to write before October 31st, three Lost things I want to have as late luau stuff even if I'm seriously late at this point, the SPN/GO crossover of doom which is still not done at +20000 words and at least another three fics I really want to write... I should stop being lazy. St. Thomas Aquinas doesn't put you in the mood to write slash though. (not to mention, Medieval stuff in general will probably kill any porn muse you might have. I think it's that.) *sigh* I just hope that all the theology crap I have to study will turn helpful with SPN stuff someday. Right now? Bo-ring.

5b. ( me asking an opinion about a probably supremely blaspheme SPN pairing I don't know if I want to write or not, cut for sparing non SPN people. )

6. Okay, I'll go answering stuff I should have answered two days ago and then I'll probably go reading some book which doesn't refer in any slightest way to God's intellect/free will, human intellect or anything concerning how Aristotle was really a Christian without knowing it. *roll eyes* *waves*
