Good God, Do I Have to Go to Work Tomorrow?

[savageseraph]

I am so very, very, very tired. I'm in that post-con funk that happens after all cons where you want to go back and immerse yourself in conspace instead of the mundania of the working world. *sigh* I wish I could have taken tomorrow off to ease in the transition.

Monday is always a slow and sad con day. The crowds have thinned significantly, and the celebs are gone or leaving. There are fewer panels, and while there are still good ones, there's that lingering bittersweetness to them, the sense that they are ticking down to the end.

More about the con tomorrow. I'll try to at least post a bit about the celebs of various stripes and Hobbit gossip. I took detailed notes. Very detailed notes. ^_^

I am trying to pretend I don't have to go to work tomorrow but it's not working.

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

It never works for me either. Sadly. *makes woeface*

YAYYY have a good day! Can't wait to read your post!

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

I thought I'd have all the posts up by now, but confatigue and a minor case of concrud are thwarting me. Bah.

So looking forward to read your Con report. Can't wait.
Hope you had a great time despite now being tired and weary.
I know that I felt just like that when returning from London.
Strangely I sat in the train back to Liverpool on Sunday feeling like being on Cloud 9.
Still had the fuzzy feeling when I hit work the next day.
And now that there are one and 1/2 months past I am looking at the pictures, especially the ones that were taken by that professional photographers and I shake my head, not believing that it really happened.
Barb, I got the bug, I confess. Booked already for going to the RingCon in Bonn in October.

It is easy to catch that particular bug. I know that when I'm at the con and in conspace, it's so hard coming back. Because you're surrounded by people who get the things you love like you love them, and that's so empowering and uplifting.

RingCon is supposed to be AWESOME btw. ^_^

Going back to real life after a con or a moot is always hard. :( *nods sagely* I can't wait to read the rest of your adventure, though!

And in a completely unrelated comment, did you realise that I am the one who wrote for you during this past year's slashababy? How funny that I would then meet you several months later. And to think I was thisclose to not doing the exchange again.

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

Coming down IS hard. You always want more time with the extended tribe who get it the way you do.

OMG! YOU DID! Holy shit, I totally didn't realize that. *pets the gift!fic*

Slasha and LOTR SeSa are the two exchanges I've done the longest, so I think I'm dug in until they stop happening. I'm wondering what other ones I'll tackle this year (in addition to YT).

[moit.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'll be honest. That fic is NOT my best work, I don't really like the way it turned out, and that fic worked me over so hard I contemplated dropping the challenge several times. :( But I did enjoy the bondage!

I'll come up with something better in the future. *nods srsly* For the Gondorian challenge! I'll write some seriously awesome Gondorian porn.

I'm REALLY interested to see how slashababy goes down this year because the first year I did it, I got saddled with ELVES. (ELVES, WHO WANTS A FIC ABOUT FUCKING ELVES??) And I don't even remember what I received... but LAST YEAR idri_fic wrote for me and she knocked my bloody SOCKS off. She moved herself STRAIGHT to the top of my favourite authors list with that DISTURBINGLY hot Viggorli she writes.

Yup, no clue why I just rambled so long in your journal. LOL

*clicks my glass with yours* Here's to some successfully awesome challenges and new friends in the end of 2012.

And is that David Wenham in your icon? Coz, I want a bite.

Glad to know you're home safe and sound and when you've got your breath back and have survived the dreaded first, or second, day back at work, we'll be properly glad to share a few of those 'detailed notes'. *G*

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

It's funny. Lots of people are just sitting there and listening. I'm transcribing like a madwoman. ^_^

I wonder if the celebs suffer from postcon letdown as well? All that 'having to be fizzing stuff..' then.. what? They live on adrenaline for a couple of days, and then mundanity (?eh?) settles in on them too.

Oh dear, c'est la vie! But at least you WERE THERE and I've read the first post about it, and omg the panel are brilliant... you'll remember that so well!!! Thanks for all these from a rotten old stick in the country idiot!

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

I think they get fatigue too. In essence, they're working all con long, so that has to be draining. While I know that some don't have much to do other than their official duties, some actors go to the parties and hang out at the bars at night.

Plenty of tired to go around for all.

The real world is always a stark contrast.

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

It is. Conspace and reality space are worlds apart.
