Because you're Harry Potter.

I wish I could augment this with tons of photographs, but for some reason my camera is not wanting to transfer them to my computer. And, well. Most of my pictures wouldn't really be appropriate in this context anyway. But. slkjdflsk

What a lovely writeup! I WANT A RAINBOW LIGHTENING BOLT PIN. (Totally the most amazing part of this post. Almost stopped reading to google. Going to do that now instead.)

does it look like this.... There is a site called Gaymart...

[marvolo]

Yeah! That's totally them. *_*

Reading this is the first time I've missed Lumos as badly as I do right now! I was so exhausted for a while there that I was just glad to be home. We had probably the least-involved Lumos experience in terms of panels, but our room was probably honestly the Best Room Ever because of so many reasons. Spin the bottle, best chums, peace and quiet most of the time (I still am startled about our noise complaints because we were very quiet most of the time

[marvolo]

Oh gosh, I forgot about that! That was the best thing ever!! sdlfkjsdk I still don't get the lack of Weasleys. That should be so easy!

I loved how relaxed our room was. Panels sound fun, but schedules are just so... restrictive. I loved being free to just wander around and not really care about time constraints. I wouldn't change anything about our super-chill-out Lumos experience (except maaaaybe catching a glimpse of Draco and the Malfoys...).

I really want to make us Inquisitorial Squad pins to wear when we go see OotP!! lskdjfj I am seriously loving the idea of our own itsy-bitsy con. I bet we can get The Ravenclaws to play...

I WANT A MINISTRY-ISSUED BADGE THAT SAYS "HARRY POTTER: DISCIPLINARY HEARING" FOR MY OOTP EXPERIENCE. *_*

Oh man, and... OUR SCARVES!!!!

I'm glad you all had fun! This was tremendously fun to read. I can't believe you had to wait that long in the airport, though - you should have checked out sleepinginairports.com.

asdfasdf What an awesome link! *_* You'd have to hunt for a good spot in the Las Vegas one, though, because of all the jingle-playing slot machines. :)) I'm glad you enjoyed the write-up! I wasn't sure how well it would play for those who hadn't been there.

I really wish I could have had a chance to see you for more than a few minutes at a time!

[marvolo]

Ahhh, I knew I was going to forget to mention someone! :D I really enjoyed meeting you, even though we didn't get to talk much. I actually just went back and looked at your HP fanart today - I had seen it before (and loved it), and I had seen you before, but it took me that long to make the connection. :)) Now I wish I'd have known and properly fangirled you in person!

[lazy_daze]

:D I love this write up.
(I knew who you were as well but didn't really want to shout OMG IT'S MARVOLO??! for fear of being somewhat, well, obnoxious ;))
So glad you had a good time (I love hearing about people enjoying Lumos, as I did, so much, and don't like hearing people's complaints about it even if it's totally justified as I get bizarrely defensive...), YAY Harry/Luna, and I'm glad we could entertain you at the airport XD I think we were ALL a little loopy on sleeplessness. <333

[marvolo]

No way! I didn't know you knew me! jkldfj How hilarious! ♥ I definitely loved hanging out with you guys at the airport! I'm still snickering over the Gyllenhaalcest pregnancy...

I keep seeing posts on my friends list that are responses to negative Lumos posts (that is, posts from people saying they wish others weren't being so negative), but I have yet to see the actual complaints. I can't imagine what people would take issue with, and it bothers me that they do! I totally loved it - I'm sad that there will be so many next year, since not everyone will wind up at the same one. I'm pinning my hopes on 2008, though!
