Uh, this is asstastically long AKA: My Wincon Report!

[fun_like_that]

Aside from the now-standard YOU MUST WARN FOR LEOPARD SEX and having a massive fangirl rendition of "Carry on" stuck in my head there was a lot of other stuff that went on in four days.

This is my wincon report, let me show you it. WARNING: VERY image intensive.



There are people updating their journals with Wincon posts and I feel horrible because I'm reading and going- you were THERE? There were just SO MANY fangirls there- some I knew and didn't get to talk to, some I didn't know AT ALL, some I knew in passing and obviously some I knew but totally didn't see. :( I really wanted to spend time with SO MANY people but there was just so much going on it was damn near impossible.

Anyhoo. So Thursday I woke bright and early. Well, not so much bright. It was 5:45 I got up because the shuttle came for me at 7:10. I showered, wore comfy clothes that I knew wouldn't create me any hassle at airport security and off I went. I managed to get some sleep in the shuttle, which was very, very needed. I forgot my yogurt and baggie of honeydew at home so by the time I got to the Calgary airport I was so hungry.

I got to the airport before 11am and my flight didn't leave until 2:50 so I had a lot of time to kill. I ate, wandered around the shops, drank a gross thing from Starbucks, tried to work out some puzzles in the big book of puzzles I bought for the trip. It was all very exciting, I assure you. Security was easy and quick, which was nice.

The flight to Vancouver was rather uneventuful. The tv screen thing in the seats wouldn't work even after the steward rebooted it so I just put in my headphones and tried to keep swallowing because my ears hurt SO BADLY. It was brutal.

In Vancouver I was supposed to meet up with winterlive but I realized when I was walking around the airport, trying to figure out where she might be, that it's kind of impossible to spot a fangirl just by looking at them if they're not wearing identifying "I ♥ WINCEST" t-shirts or something. On the surface we look surprisingly sane.

So I decided to go through security, which turned out to be... interesting. Firstly, the US/international flight part is in like- another time zone at the Vancouver airport. I was journeying through these long, abandoned hallways with construction going on (presumably to prettify the place for the Olympics). I kept following the signs until eventually I finally, finally reached my end destination- the very unhappy customs/security guy.

He didn't smile, he barely blinked, he didn't make any indication that he was in any way satisfied with his job in the least. It was odd. And his line of questioning for me was even more weird.

Him: What's the nature of your business in Los Angeles?
Me: Going down for a fun weekend (I didn't realize I could have said writer's convention and didn't really want to confess that I was going to a fangirl weekend)
Him: With who?
Me: Oh, a whole bunch of people.
Him: From where?
Me: uh, the states, some from Canada, Australia, the UK...
Him: What do you do?
Me: I'm a student.
Him: Who bought your ticket?
Me: I did.
Him: How if you're a student?
Me: I worked over the summer.
Him: Where?
Me: *lists employers*
Him: *stares at me*
Me: *tries to look sane*
Him: *stamps card* proceed to security.

Uh... yeah. So I made it to the gate and then got a call from winterlive and then she joined me. We discussed being fangirls and the idea that Jared and Jensen were within the general 100km vicinity of the airport and how we were probably creeping people out around us. Good times.

The plane to LA was wickedly small. I don't think I like flying United. But whatever. I was sitting at the very front of the plane after "first class" and, at the request of someone who wanted to switch seats just across the aisle, got to sit with a guy who's the head of the PR department for a games company in L.A. which pretty much made my whole flight. It was kind of a sign from baby jesus for me (I'm in an advertising/public relations course right now).

SO. We get to L.A. and the first thing I do is try and find lostt1 because she was waiting to meet me there WITH A SIGN. She said she was by the luggage carousel but when I got down there (and the one I was at wasn't very big) I was like- dude, where in the hell ARE you? winterlive was off trying to find her luggage and I was running around trying to find Mel and calling her. She's like- I'm down by 1 and 2 (I was by 3 and 4). So I'm running around, talking to her on the phone and trying to see her and then FINALLY I see her and it was magical. A FCUKER!



winterlive got her bag and we were off to get the shuttle to the hotel because we have 20 minutes to get there, check in and watch the episode. While on the shuttle we ran into waterofthemoon which was hysterical. Four fangirls and a bunch of other people who were CLEARLY NOT and I think we scared them. It was good. We got to the hotel, checked in and I used the washroom in enough time to run across the hall to... someone's room and claim seats for the episode and then it started.

Watching with SO MANY other people (the only ones I can remember being there are namegoeshere, clex_monkie89, mrscutedean, tenatiousmetoo and... that's it?) is such a shock for me. When I could watch the episode as it aired (as opposed to dling it this season- boo!) I watched by myself, in a room with the door closed. I don't answer the door, the phone, talk to people- nothing. So it was weird. I don't know if I'd enjoy watching every week like that.

After the episode Mel and I made a beeline for food. Neither of us had eaten for probably ten hours or something stupid so we walked down to Denny's where our waitress was rather crappy but she was wee and cute, so it was okay. We talked about everything and anything and the food was good and it was a lot of fun. SO COOL. When we got back to the hotel we talked with ... other people. :| I think ethrosdemon was there and eboniorchid but everyone else is totally over my head. I saw txtequilanights in passing (Fcuker!) before Mel and I went upstairs to bed and it turned out to be the most sleep we got all weekend, pretty much.

The next thing I remember is sitting up in bed at 7:55am on Friday because the door opened. Mel was awake and told me that the cleaning staff apparently were jonesing to get into our room to clean because they thought we were checking out or some shit. Apparently the hotel staff kept thinking we were leaving to the point of demagnitizing all of our cards later in the day. Um, yeah. I went back to sleep and it was good.

When we finally got UP-up we went to get some breakfast (from McDonalds. *waves bye-bye to not eating there for over a year*) and we hung around some of the people that were around. I don't remember talking to anyone in specific so if I had a big heart-to-heart with you I'm SO SORRY. Friday's kind of a blur. But HARK! Another Fcuker arrived!

Erica appeared to be a bit apprehensive of the proceedings. Or maybe just me.


Once registration opened and people finally got name tags it was SO much easier to know who people were. Although then there was the thing where there were people there who I totally didn't recognize at all.

After that we sat in on the two episodes of season 3 and cheered and laughed and whatnot with the other fangirls. Then we launched into the panels. txtequilanights was on the first one about the minor characters and it was fun to listen to everyone actually TALK rather than just read about their thoughts and have it be like- live meta. Neato.



Then there was an erotica panel and there was much talk of burnt sienna and taupe and plaids and whatnot. We couldn't really hear so we made our own fun. Sorry to anyone who was sitting around us and couldn't hear as a result and wanted to beat us down.

torturemysoul (Erica!), txtequilanights (Rach!), miss_begonia (Sonia!) and myself went up to the Roadhouse and hung out for awhile, chatting and meeting people. I think it was there that I met iamtheenemy but then there was a group that went to do bandom talk so I cowered on the couch and talked to... other people. :| Oy. PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU TALKED TO ME AND WHO YOU WERE. I suck.

Erica's still apprehensive.


Erica tries to get Rach to look over at me as I take a picture.


Finally I get a cool picture of everyone.



We'd eaten before the first panel, Rach's panel, before 3pm so by 6 or 7, whenever people were hungry, I was still full. So everyone else was getting the salad bar and Erica ordered basically the same thing AS the salad bar only cheaper but I wasn't up for FOOD food so I ordered cake and a screwdriver. HOLY SHIT. The people in that hotel are either the most awesome people ever or totally evil. Any time you ordered something with vodka (maybe other drinks, too. I'm not sure) they would make the drink like- half and half. INSANE.

ethrosdemon and lostt1


The karaoke guy came to set up (bless his wee soul for coming to play for us) and everyone piled into the ballroom to sit around and watch the video show, get drunk, win prizes and sing like the fools we are. ebonyorchid was especially good and Rach and Erica did a... Panic at the disco? song. I remember Mr Roboto being done and a Queen song and some others that everyone joined in on but for the most part a lot of them are a blur because for the second part of the night I was very, very drunk. I blame this mostly on mrscutedean who insisted that we do karaoke and I knew I would have to be drunk for that. So there were many double mai tais to be had.

Fangirls!




May I just say that mrscutedean (Charli) is TOTALLY deserving of her name? SHE IS SO CUTE. And a bad influence but that's beside the point.



Charli with caithream


And doing the sad!Sam face


I told Erica not to let me drink anymore after the blank journal=blind turtle teeny incident (I remember being very amazed and slightly horrified that they were giving away a blind turtle and I really wanted it, until someone corrected me and assured me they were giving away a BLANK JOURNAL. :| :| :| I wanted that turtle, dammit!) BUT Charli wanted to go halfs on another double before we went to request a song so I was all- SURE! And when I got to the bartender I thanked the guys for doing such a great job and for putting up with us and he gave us a triple. WOO!

So liquored up and ready to go we stumbled up to the request table and tried to do Renegade. But the karaoke guy said it was too late and there were only two songs left, Highway to Hell and Carry on Wayward Son (which, OF COURSE, we had to do!) so we resigned to making our big performance with Carry On. And what a performance it was. Charli has video. It is made of win.

So after that I think we all pretty much stumbled back to our rooms (well, I kind of stumbled, everyone else in my room was very sober) and we talked and then passed out. I think I was lost in the bathroom for awhile in the night and it was weird. I remember turning on the light and being all- WTF am I doing in HERE?

Saturday was a good day, except my stomach was rebelling against me slightly and wouldn't let me enjoy the breakfast to the utmost potential it had. I also had a drink later in the afternoon and was like- uh... no. I chatted with halfshellvenus at the Roadhouse (seriously, email me if you read this!) and then A LOT of people went to the American Fic Idol panel which was MADE OF WIN.

The surprise buttsex was ROBBED. ROBBED, I tell you! Sam's steel cock doesn't MOVE when he runs and his trenchcoat flaps out around him as he runs and drives and LANDS IN DEAN'S ASS! So much awesomeness, I tell you.

Erica and Rachel with coffee and looking badass in their shades.


I think it was in here somewhere that a bunch of us were going downstairs on the elevator and we ran across a guy named Don who was in town for his own convention of some sort or a business thing, I don't know. So he asked what we were there for. So I replied that we were car enthusaists, the '67 Impala specifically. He looked doubtful but I pointed out the Impala. He still didn't seem to believe me and said something like I was pulling his leg but I was all- "I would never do that to you, Don." I'm kind of proud of that moment. In my head it was funny.

After that I think we all just kind of hung out and chatted and whatnot. Or maybe I was in the Roadhouse AFTER the panel, I can't remember. I do remember that I met missyerable (Alexis) and we chatted for awhile. Then we got ready for the dinner, grabbed our tickets, name tags and whatnot and it was A LOT of fun. I was sitting with Erica, Mel, namegoeshere, clex_monkie89, Alexis, winterlive and possibly two more people who I totally don't remember. Maybe only one. There are pictures but I don't know the name. SORRY! Please tell me who you are!

Erica and D (namegoeshere.


Dinner peeps (moveablehistory, Mel, rei_c, I think, me, Erica, someone I don't know (SORRY!), D)


The Fcukers with Charli


My dinner (it was TOTALLY photo worthy!). Yum! Except for the summer squash. :|


After the dinner, which was made of win, there were more prizes and lots of pictures and lots of fun to be had all around. After that a bunch of us hung around outside and I met caithream who was hanging out with Charli. Sarah won the "Bloodlust" script that was signed by Sera Gamble (eeee!) and Charli and I re-enacted the scene in the ep where Dean punches Sam. I got to be Dean and it was wonderful and the only reason why Charli and I aren't Sam and Dean is because we're not tall enough, obvs. What her journal to see an amazing edit of that whole scene. Slo-mo, soundtrack- everything.

Sarah and I


The script with Sera Gamble all over it!


No one was really going out that night, just hanging around, so a lot of us stood outside for a couple hours, at least, talking. Erica, Rach and someone else who I can SEE in my mind but I don't know the name of (SORRY!) talked a lot about bandom and whatnot and I listened and tried to make sense of anything they were talking about. Pete Wentz came up. Much mocking of Pete Wentz. Much laughing at him. Fun times. And Erica seems to confuse cocaine use with My Chemical Romance. Hmmm....

After THAT I think we went inside to sit down and then I was like- I have to go change or something, or go upstairs or we all did... I'm really not sure. What I DO know is that Erica and I ended up in Charli's room with caithream and phouka_h watching "Nightshifter", "Born Under a Bad Sign" and the gag reel from season 2. Was there another episode? I don't remember. All I know is that Sam and Dean are hot, there was some comparison of Jared to a monkey or something, I think, and fangirls trying to sync two computers to run the same episode at the same time to share a voice track. I know, I know- step BACK, wild child! Erica and I went back to the room and Mel and Sonia were already there so we all crashed so we could be up in time for breakfast.

By the time we got up on Sunday Sonia had already left to go home. She was a lot of fun, but we didn't get to spend a lot of time together or get to know each other really well, which sucked a little. We went down to breakfast and had to avoid the orange juice because it was rancid or something, and then hung about, saying good bye to people who were leaving early. Said goodbye to caithream who is awesome and lovely and I wish we could have spent more time together.

After going back and forth between people and trying to suss out what the hell was going on and rounding people up we decided to go sight-seeing. I didn't want to come back from L.A. and tell everyone here all I did was stay in the hotel. That would be a little hard to explain to people.

So namegoeshere (D), Charli, Erica and I got a cab and headed to Hollywood Blvd because out of everything the one thing I wanted to do was see the Hollywood sign and go to a cheesy tourist shop. I bought four t-shirts (contrary to everyone's estimate of 5000), some magnets, shot glasses, pins and whatnot. And we saw the Hollywood sign, pirates, Cinderella, hugged Darth Vader, got hugged by Elmo and nearly beat him because UGH- strange man in an Elmo suit hugging me without asking me? *shudders*. Went into a sex shop and saw lovely instruments to facilitate fisting. There were also a couple young guys in there with us and they said something about the prostate and then looked at us and apologised. As we walked away I said, "we probably know more about the prostate than they do." Sad, but true. No, not sad. Sad for them.



Erica looks SO impressed.


Me, Darth and D. I was worried he'd be like- sweaty or something under his cape with his tight black body suit thing but he was surprisingly non-sweaty. Random, I know.


THAT'S THE GUY IN THE ELMO SUIT WHO HUGGED ME. SOMEONE GO KICK HIM IN THE 'NADS!




Although this H&M ad was VERY cool (painted onto the building!) it was misleading and chrushed poor Charli as the store was NOT in that building.


Harrison Ford's prints and my hand, if I remember correctly.


Surreal


Typical tourist shot but it was the ONLY thing I wanted to do while I was in L.A.


Is this REALLY where they film or just an awesome marketing thing?


Newsflash! Snape DIDN'T kill Dumbledore!


Yay for fisting!


Elvis tried to get fresh with me.


Charli and Erica tried to scare Frankenstein


So D gave him some love


Charli getting zen with the Hoff ON the Hoff.


Another surreal moment.



After that we took a cab back up to the hotel and I took pictures of EVERYTHING along the way. Palm trees! iPod signs! Oil derricks! Everything was new and unusual! Sure, I'm from Alberta and you can't turn around without seeing something to do with oil but this was CALIFORNIA OIL!

When we got back to the hotel Erica took a nap and I just wandered around, called my mom, and had some down time before we all went to the BEACH! There were A LOT of people going to the beach and then dinner, which was awesome, but when we all lined up to get on the free trolley that would take us there there were A LOOOOOT of people. More than could fit on said trolley. The kicker was that the trolley stopped something like two blocks down and let a shitton of people off so more could have fit, rather than sorting out who would go in cars and who had cars to take the rest.

On the trolley I started talking to a couple who were on a layover back from Australia, I think, who had been there doing something with cancer fundraising or something, I don't know. The husband was from the UK and she was not audibly french but they lived in Montreal. Nice people.

The beach! SO BEAUTIFUL THERE.


Oh, Charli


Charli and Mel


Erica and Rach


missyjack who is ADORABLE. We spent time talking during random moments throughout the weekend when we smoked the cigarettes we don't smoke. :|


Missy and Charli


Helllooooo boys in wetsuits




Birds! I like birds!


Really like them


The beach was MADE OF WIN. There were birds and surfers and dogs that looked like rats! Charli got a picture with the lifeguard truck and on the hut thing they sit in so she could so the Baywatch thing and it was adorable. After we did the beach thing we ran around Manhattan beach shops and looked in stores and Sketchers and looked around for someplace to eat. We ended up at the pizza place which was GOOD but the service was... less than serviceable. Charli's fries to go with her chicken fingers ended up on another table and cold by the time she got them and Mel's ONE slice of plain cheese pizza never came so she had to go get a pepperoni slice. LAME. BUt the pizza WAS good. It was a busy spot.

After that we went to get ice cream and caught the 7:30 trolley back, rather than the 8:30 because we figured it might be packed again during the last run an hour later. When we got back to the hotel I paid my part of the room to get it out of the way before the morning and to save Mel some trouble and then we just hung out.

I chatted with Erica and D and someone else (she told me her name but I can't for the life of me remember what it is) about cats and stuff. Then I went to pack my suitcase and take out my contacts because they were killing me and told Mel we should watch New York Minute because YES. Charli hadn't seen it before and neither had I and she had it there so why not?

Charli and Mel


The fcukers, finally together for a photo.


NYM? MADE OF BAD WIN. HOMG JARED. It was so unbelievable and amazing all at once. I recently read an interview with Mary Kate Olsen, possibly in Entertainment Weekly, and I remember her saying something about how they (she and her sister) bought out their business partner so they could control their company and images just so they would never have to do another movie like New York Minute. It ALLLLLLL makes sense now. ALLLLLL of it. Jared was so delightfully clueless in it but so adorable and hot.

Also, guys, I found out where I think I know Riley Smith from. He was on 24 for a few episodes AND Bring it On! He played the gay cheerleader at the end who the guy from the Torros liked!

After the movie was over Charli said goodbye (*sad face*) and goodnight and Rach went back to her room (well, she'd left earlier cause she was pooped) and Erica, Mel and I got into bed but talked for like- hours. Seriously. I had to be up at 3:45 to catch my flight at 7:15 (damn international flights) so I think I got MAYBE an hour and a half of sleep. I remember trying to answer my phone when the alarm went off and staring at it stupidly because I had no idea what was going on. I showered, ran a brush through my hair, threw my shit together and went to stand outside at 4 in the morning for the shuttle back to the airport.

Going through security was easy this time and I hung out, drinking 4$ OJ from Starbucks that tasted strangely like the OJ we were warned not to drink the morning before at breakfast but I was like- dammit! I paid FOUR DOLLARS for this wee bottle of juice, I'm drinking it. I called my mom, read some, walked around and contemplated buying duty-free Camels because YES and eventually ended up back at the terminal and waited for the plane to board so I could sleep.

The picture from last night. This was a place by Starbucks I saw when I bought my 4$ OJ and throught it really, really apt.


I managed to get two seats to myself (go me for changing my seat to an asile one when I checked in), bought a 2$ inflatable pillow and blanket thing that is mine, mine, mine for future trips, put on Live Free or Die Hard which WORKED on this plane and dozed for most of the 2.5h direct flight to Calgary, minus the times we had "slight" turbulence that freaked me out. Then I had to hang out in the Calgary airport for about four hours while I waited for the last people the shuttle was taking back to my city to arrive so I read more of the book, had dinner, called my mom again and just hung out. Then I slept in the shuttle on the way back and now here I am. I think I was WICKEDLY congested from the plane or caught a slight bug or something because today I felt like SHIT and my throat hurt but I seem to be okay now.

Last shot of LA


I'm happy to be home because I like being in my own bed with all my own stuff, in my own room and on my own computer but at the same time I'm a little sad because no one knows really WHY I went to LA. My roommate knows I went for an SPN convention but not how involved in fandom I am. I think I could tell her and she'd be okay with it but I don't know how okay she'd be with the Wincest stuff. I know I could let her know without going that far into it but it's a slippery slope, you know? And my family knows why I went but again, not the extent of my involvement. They don't know I make caps, I contribute to the newsletter, make icons, fic, etc. My BigBang was one of the biggest things I've ever done probably in my life, the simple fact that I remained dedicated to it enough to finish the damn thing, especially as big as it was, and NO ONE knows about it outside the internet and like- two friends from back home who are resigned to accepting me.

So that's why a small article I read in the Globe and Mail on the plane on Thursday kind of hit hard:

Got a second life yet?

The online universe is brimming with dozens of virtual worlds vying to build sustainable life," writes Ellen Lee in the Sam Francisco Chronicle. "From Gaia, a Japanese anime-inspired site, to vSide, a hip nightclub scene, they represent the latest way people are interacting through the Internet. Users create alter-ego avatars to navigate these online worlds, where they meet and hang out with other people, go shopping, watch movies, even start a business. ... Technology research firm Gartner forecast this year that by 2011, 80 per cent of active Internet users will have a 'second life' in some sort of virtual world.

Not to get overly thinky or be a downer in this post that's all about how much fun this weekend was but that's just it- I had SO much fun and I could open my cell phone freely without having someone see my wallpaper and snicker at me and I could say out loud all the things that everyone in my real life would either not understand or not condone and now I'm back to sitting on a big part of my life, bending the truth about what I do, containing my fangirl squee over the show for the internet because there's no one in my rl who would get it. Not even the person I used to work with who's way into the show is into it as much as I am and it was kind of a slap in the face, of sorts, when I found that out. She's a fan but like- a sedate one.

I don't know. After such a great weekend, discussing what I love with people who feel the same way, how do I go back? Because hanging out with fangirls in person was an amazing experience and now I'm all sad I can't do it all the time. Some of y'all need to move up here to Canada, mmmkay? Post haste, if you will.

In conclusion- I had a blast. It was too short to get everything I hoped to do squeezed in but in the end I'm glad to be home. Also, HUGE MASSIVE thanks to coiledsoul, ethrosdemon and onelittlesleep for putting all this together and working with everyone at the hotel and getting everything done and arranging everything and pretty much for being born. Also, the next con should be held in Vancouver!

Finally, some parting thoughts from the weekend...

Erica on fic writing: "How much can you really say about incestuous mpreg fic?"

Erica on Pete Wentz: "I don't think he's a special flower because he's manic depressive."

Me on fic writing: "Who would beat up an obviously pregnant man? Think about the babies!"

Erica on cocaine use: "My friends did cocaine like it was no big deal. Like, that story that Minotaur guy told at panel?"
Me: "The one with the colour coding?"
Erica: "No, wait. It was a My Chemical Romance documentary."

The Fcuk room on superficial people:
Erica: "My roommates are the kind of people who only talk about, like, "ooohh, that guy is sooo hot... Of course, I do that too, but on the internets."
Sonia: "It's so much classier on the internet."
Mel: "It so is."
Erica and Me: "I GOTS CLASS."

Random hotel worker on being creepy: *knocks on the door, is answered* "Just checking."


So there. There's my wincon report. Now I can crosspost fic and post icons and go about my fannish existence, feeling a little more in touch with everyone else and finally able to put a face to a name when I see you all around.

*smooshes you all*

God, I miss you guys so much. I still need to write up my review. But I keep putting it off. And thank god you took so many pictures. I absolutely love Erica in pretty much all of them (I LUV U ERICA!). And how many pictures did you sneak of me and Charli checking out other pictures? :)

[marishna.livejournal.com]

OMG VIBRATING COCK RINGS. Dammit, why didn't we BUY that thing? It was only 6$! And I've never seen one in a convenience store around here so.... DAMMIT!

All 251 pictures are here. But they are huge and there's no way I'm resizing them all so they're huge.

[lostt1.livejournal.com]

[marishna.livejournal.com]

They were at the am/pm that was just by the hotel! It was one of the BEST THINGS EVAR! A one-time use vibrating cock ring for 5.99$!

You don't look a thing like I pictured or well, I thought your hair would be lighter (still brown but lighter) and longer.

I wasn't really jelis before but now I iz. I IZ! I want to hang out with fcukers.

(I don't really want to use this icon but 'zilla picked it out and isn't letting me change it)

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

I so envy your Hollywood Blvd trip, which was pretty cracktastic-looking all by itself. The crack-- it can be found in the Real World!

I'll email you tomorrow, since it's bedtime and then some.

Glad you had such a wonderful time, and you saw SO much more of LA than I did. :)

[caffienekitty]

Also, the next con should be held in Vancouver!

Pst... We've got one. ;-D

Holy coyote, dude! This is a longass report! Very cool, though. Lots of great pics and whatnot. Thanks for giving me an honorable mention here and there. I so totally was hanging out in the parking lot that first night while peeps were having their puffs and thanks for the lovely praise for my didn't-kill-your-ears karaoke.

*cough* though you kinda spelled my name wrong *cough* XD

Miss you already and watch this space for the vid. We totally beat J2 on the acting front there dude. Us=Awesome!

[miss-sarac.livejournal.com]

I remember being very amazed and slightly horrified that they were giving away a blind turtle and I really wanted it, until someone corrected me and assured me they were giving away a BLANK JOURNAL.

I laughed so hard when I read that, I woke Jenna up! This is one of those random silly things that whenever I think about it, I crack up, so thanks! :P

It sounds like you had a fantastic time!
