OMG I AM HOME. And I finally wrote my concert review! It is, uhm. It is kind of long.

( tl;dr )

OH MY GOD IF YOU READ ALL OF THAT YOU SHOULD GET SOME KIND OF AWARD. And that's just Wednesday, bbs. I don't know if I'm going to manage recapping the rest of the London trip, but guys: it was so worth it. It was so, so worth it. Best decision ever. ♥

And now, to catch up on my flist and comments. Skip = my ass. /o\

P.S. The airline lost my bag. UGH, WHAT.

So one thing about being separated from everyone at DFest was that it meant I ended up making friends with all the little fifteen year old girls who were standing next to me, and I just wanted to say this: bandom, I think we don't give teenies enough love. They were so clueless and sweet, and some of them had come from Ireland to see the show, and they were sad the Hushies weren't there! I brought up some Very Popular Fannish Opinions, and they were AMAZED and DELIGHTED. I was all, "Vicky-T is really hot!" and they were like, "oh my gosh, I think so TOO!" and then I was like, "I think Patrick is a god," and they were like "OH MANS YES," and then I said I thought it was cool that My Chem gay it up even while they date ladies, just to push comfort zones, and they were like "oh WOW, I never thought of it that way, you are so right!!" It was awesome. For all the downsides of the feral side of bandom, and oh, there are many, I still think it's miraculous and charming to watch a whole generation of girls grow up thinking that boys kissing is hot, instead of gross, and that engaging actively to build communities around the things you love is a cool thing to do. Hey. This one goes out to the teenies. ♥ ♥ ♥

P.S. Uhm, remember how I said I'd reply to comments and email and check my flist and shit? Ahahahaha. Maybe tomorrow! *goes back to sleep*

P.P.S. I can't stop thinking about the fact that my concert clothes (including SOCKS) are loose in my luggage, which is God knows where. I hope no poor airline attendant has to open that deliciousness. I may have to fumigate the suitcase. DDD:
