saturday was a HUGE day, and SOOOoooo much happened.
firstly, there was the Q&A session ... i got to ask a Question ... it was a question suggested by Lazuli (writer of s/x slashfic REPOSSESSION)
It was which song, lyrically, does he wish he'd written .. and his answer was
all apologies .. by Nirvana.
What else should I be
All apologies
What else could I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies
In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
buried
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezerburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all is we all are"
interesting choice .. considering some of the other personal info hes given out lately.. about being married to someone who didnt love him .. and also he mentioned at the cocktail party that he has a very bad relationship with his mother, and that he sees that as one of the reasons why he had a bad marriage.
likened it to women who have bad fathers, choosing bad husbands.
*theres other Q&A transcripts, so i wont rehash all the stuff here*
then .. the autograph line, where i was allowed to stay and photograph, which was very cool.
i had him sign a fanart, i went with an abstract white 'spike' one.
he really seemed like he liked it. looked really closely at it, and asked if i was the one who did it, then said it was really different to the normal pics he sees, and that he liked it. lots.
then .. once i was out of there i decided to go check out the dealers rooms ...
here begins the story of the PEZ
about a year ago, i decided i wanted to get James a Pez ... a Vamp one ( from the series that the witch that Oz and Willow exchanged was from ) but the vamp pez was worth about US$900 which is WAY out of this lil gals price range.
i'd joined a pez yahoogroup, and someone there gave me contact details for a guy who makes custom pez. So, i got onto him, and asked about whether he'd do a Spike one, and how much it'd be.
He said he liked the Spike character,and would do one, as a gift for JM, for free !!
then, for some unknown reason, all discussion stopped and i couldnt get any email response from him, so i gave up on the idea.
then, Saturday afternoon, i was in the dealer room, talking to everyone (cause i'll talk to ANYONE) and after chatting with one of the guys down there for about an Hr, about Ebay, and Copyright breach, and xfiles and FOX ... he mentioned his name .. and it was the PEZ GUY !! .. and better still, he had the spike pez there !!
we'd talked about conventions and JM as well, and I mentioned James had a big Fan-Boy love of Leonard Nimoy (in Sydney, he mentioned how he scared LN at a convention once, by being all fan-boy and also that he used to own the 'spock-ears' as a younger guy too ) so the PEZ guy put the spock one in too.
then of course, he decided that James could only have ONE !! .. so i had to be the one to tell him, that he had to choose. I felt like such a meanie !! .. but i knew he'd choose the spock.
at the actual banquet, i went and asked fernando if James was table hopping (like in Cleveland) and he said no, then in the same breath said, 'is that the PEZ?'
i was stunned, cause i'd told NO ONE about it, only showed my roomies, and no one else. then he headed towards James, and turned to me, and said, 'well, are you coming?'
i was in shock.. i never thought i'd be taken up to the table to give it to him.
but when we got to the table ...Fernando whispered in James ear, and he looked straight over, and smiled like he 'knew' what was coming/cumming (twas like a pg version of my 'embarrassing dream' moment) ...
i think he might have known about the SPIKE one, but his reaction to the spock one, was like he had no idea that it was coming too ...he pretty much grabbed it, and his face lit up and he was all excited about it.
he said he wanted the Spock, cause *indicating at the Spike one* 'Hes very good, but i see him all the time.'
then he turned, to the table and told them about his Spock-love. I chatted quietly with one of the other gals at the table ... then decided i should leave ( after all, the people i was upstaging, had paid US$4 000 to sit near him )
rather than just disappear into the night, i decided i should say goodbye. so .. i took the back of my hand (finger area) and rubbed lightly on his nekkid bicep (thank god for tshirts) he spun straight around and i said goodbye, and gave a little wave ...
well... he wasn't gonna let me escape that easily .. so he grabbed onto me, and pulled me close, hugged me .. and gave me a kiss on the cheek .. (of course, its only polite to hug and kiss back ... right? ) so i did.
then i went ... cause i was floored by the whole experience !!
it was really the highlight of the weekend for me !!
oh.. and before all the PEZ excitment .. we started a song war ... with Learys table, and Mercedes table .. which had everyone laughing (james was rolling in his chair and his face was red from laughing at us )
oh yeah... we rock
(more on the song war later ... fingers are bitching for a break )

I think I am suffering from SSS* today... very akin to PMS by the feel of it!
