WinCon 2.00
I already wrote this. And then I accidentally deleted the whole thing. Oops.

1. Wincon was awesome, okay? Absolutely fucking awesome, I had such an amazing time, it was so much fun, everything was all kinds of awesome. Fucking amazing. Hi to everyone I met, you guys rocked so hard. I'm missing SO MANY LIVEJOURNAL NAMES
2. I was splitting two rooms with ten other people. I don't even know all of them. The only names I actually remember are from the CWRPS Krew: waterofthemoon, clex_monkie89, unperfectwolf, affectingly, hansbekhart, essenceofmeanin. There were others! I know exactly who they were and what they looked like and everything. I just don't remember their LJ names. HI GUYS.
3. Thursday was really cool. I'd never seen an episode of Supernatural with other fangirls before, and it was fucking incredible. It was so amazingly cool to see an episode while surrounded by people squeeing and bouncing and going, "OMFG" and "Deeeeeeeeen!" and stuff. It was just. Yes. Really amazing.
4. Then I got a headache. That sucked. So I went to bed. I'm pretty sure everyone else got drunk.
5. The minor characters panel on Friday was pretty cool. Hi clex_monkie89, txtequilanights. Y'all were awesome. I don't know who else was on the panel.
6. Friday otherwise was pretty uneventful. I accidentally took a nap, attempted to walk to Starbucks with a group of roommates, watched the vid show, talked online with floridapeaches, watched the rest of the vidshow, talked with floridapeaches some more, and went to bed. eboniorchid" gave me the shirt that she won! THANK YOU, YOU ROCK. I ended up trading it to clex_monkie89 because the shirt she won on Saturday was way too small, but STILL YOU ARE AWESOME.
7. Saturday was the best thing ever. I was HYPER. I spent breakfast running around SURPRISE HUGging people.
8. The floor near/around the elevators was marble. Most of Saturday I wore socks. I ran and slid a lot. That was fun.
9. My favourite panel ever at all period was the female characters panel. SO fucking awesome. HUGE BIG MASSIVE shoutouts to the guys in charge of that, it was fucking phenomenal. Thank you thank you thank you.
10. Winchester ethics ended up being a big discussion about John Winchester's parenting techniques. I spent most of it zoned out and screwing around on my laptop.
11. At some point, and I can't remember where/how or anything, except that it was after a panel, I ran into stele3, who had AWESOME BANDOM STUFF written on her nametag. She announced that there was a bandom party on the second floor, and so I ran upstairs and dumped my stuff and went go to join in on the bandom fun.
12. Upon arriving at the location of the bandom party, it was commented that my hair looks like Frank Iero's during the Three Cheers era. txtequilanights and torturemysoul informed everyone that I had the tie and gloves too (I was already wearing a white button-down and black vest). I was thus obliged to go and get my tie and my glove and do my makeup all Frankie-style and head back to the room.
13. It was fucking awesome. We watched Life on the Murder scene and giggled a lot and bounced around and looked away from Gerard being all wobbly and drunk and SADSADSAD. We had to leave at one point to let housecleaning clean the room.
14. So we went up to the roadhouse and hung around there and did made squeeing about bandom in a room full of SPN people and decorated our nametags (I'll scan mine later, promise) will all sorts of crazy things like "I support the Bob Bryar solo project!" and "OMG! BEACHBALL!" stele3 wrote HAMSTER CAGE on my arm and I wrote ISSO PERFECT on her neck and we all laughed and giggled and pictures were taken.
15. We then went down to the room again, and drew all over each other some more. We all wrote on our knuckle. I had "HALLOWEEN" (as did missmollyetc, I believe), stele3 had MCRSAVES, txtequilanights had MIKEYWAY!, and stele3 sit in the corner and look at Umbrella Academy (I GOT MY COPY TODAY :D :D :D :D) when they were talking about The Ghost Of You, since she hadn't seen the vid yet. Then we watched The Ghost Of You, which is REALLY FUCKING SAD if you haven't seen it.
16. Eventually we disbanded for dinner, and I ran around and surprise hugged more people, and ate, and surprise hugged yet more people.
17. Jason and Lol showed up around 10:30 and I got dressed and we went down and not everyone has left for Rocky yet, so we went down to the theatre and stood in line for an hour and I had a lot of people walking up to me because they thought I was hot, which was, uh, weird, for me. It was really, really awesome, except for the part where this chick wrote "BOOBS" across my chest, which, um. Not cool. I have really nice boobs, I come by this honestly, but given my rather huge issues with gender, it freaked me out. Luckily, clex_monkie89 was a really, really awesome friend and explained this to the girl with the lipstick, and she crossed it out and wrote "I'M HOT" instead. I was still kinda freaked, but the show was awesome and I relaxed and forgot about it.
18. Jason, Lol and I went for breakfast after, and stephanometra and... someone else? (*lacks an LJ name) came along as well. I didn't get back to the hotel until 5:15 AM.
19. I then slept in a closet until 8:45 AM, at which point I got up and went down to get food.
20. I hung out in the con room for a while after breakfast, and pandoraiam and northernsky_ and I sat around and agreed that Alicia and Jamia are awesome and we adore them. Also, pandoraiam said she'd upload Cobra Starship for me, which she has, and which I srsly need to download, but haven't yet!
21. mrscutedean, torturemysoul, marishna and I shared a taxi and went to Hollywood! Which was awesome. We saw all sorts of neat stuff, the Hollywood sign and this big Dexter advertisement and all the stars on the ground and Grauman's Chinese Threatre, and yes, it was very awesome.
22. That night, we went out to Manhattan Beach, and ate pizza and wandered around. I'd been calling floridapeaches all weekend and leaving her insane voicemail messages, and we made her a VIDEO. Which I will post at some point. Possibly when I scan my nametag.
23. I hung out with marishna and torturemysoul and someone else whose LJ name I don't know in the hotel for a while, and talked to floridapeaches online.
24. I then went upstairs and went to bed and slept and woke up and packed and went down and caught a shuttle with affectingly and txtequilanights.
25. And then I got home. And was sad. But glad to be home. It was a tiring weekend.
I LOVE YOU ALL. ESPECIALLY MY BANDOM PEOPLE. You guys, every single one of you, every single person on the panels, everyone I chatted with, roomed with, hung out with, had fun with, randomly hugged -- you guys are all so awesome, thanks for the best weekend ever, I am so glad I met you all. Just -- THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU.
Yes.
