Random thoughts from yesterday's comic and whatnot convention.
Ray Park (Darth Maul, Toad) seems hella cool. Even after five hours or so of signing autographs, he was very chipper and personable at the sci-fi panel.
Speaking of which, Morena Baccarin (Firefly) is, amazingly, even hotter in person. I got my picture taken with her, and was smiling for some time afterwards.
There remains much to be thankful about where cosplay is concerned. Much, much to be thankful for.
On that note, women who will wear Sailor Scout outfits on a dare please me.
The entire convention experience was quite pleasant, despite costing me anything approaching a good night's sleep. The posse consisted of myself, AC, the Chuwero, and EP. Fun was had, swords were purchased, and flirting happened. Much flirting. Between that and the photo with Ms. Baccarin, physical contact with the opposite gender seemed so very plausible. Deceptively so.
You see, it matters not how much flirting took place: there was only one girl amongst us, and she's already "friends with benefits" with AC. So as soon as our merry band returned to my place at the end of the con to watch Serenity, those two were right back to being more physically affectionate than any couple I know while denying being one. As a result, I was a little... of center for the rest of the day. The fun and frivolity of the day faded away with the onset of evening, and it was time to remember my place. Last night's dreams leave me wondering if I'd crossed lines I shouldn't have, and now I seek some alone time to get my head settled again.
Lucky for me (for a given value of lucky, anyway), alone time is rarely hard to come by this time of the week.
