Conflux should be interesting....

[dalekboy]

Tom's party just about killed me. 40 minute drive there in the car was enough to wipe me out for the night, leave me wobbly and give me a headache and tiredness that has continued into today. I didn't cope well with the noise of so many people (weird) and was so ill I couldn't eat. The one thing I tried to eat made me feel even worse. We were there until late and then there was the trip back!

The fact I struggled so much with the evening and am paying for it so much today should make Conflux really interesting. Several days of me wanting to be social and talk to people and forgetting how I'm feeling until it's almost too late.

I feel like a bloody poser with my walking stick, I don't need it the majority of the time. Then I do what I did before, get up to go to the loo and don't take it. I finish, turn to leave and realise just how bad I'm suddenly feeling and have to seriously wonder if I'll make it back to the room.

So if I seem quieter than normal at the con, don't be put off. I want to see and talk to you all, I'm just a little more reserved out of necessity and circumstance.

And if I don't want to see you, I'll just whack you with my walking stick.

Chestnuts? Roast them, they're delicious. Or perhaps play conkers?! :D
P.S. it's a life/lemons/lemonade thing, but STILL...bestest roast chestnuts I ever had were from London street vendors :D

*grin*

You know, I've never had roast chestnuts... must try that at some point.

Roasted chestnuts were remarkably boring the one time I roasted them myself. Bland, faintly rubbery.

They do, however, make a rather excellent stuffing.

I'm not well (as if that's new), so will be taking things slowly at the con too. I suspect the actual con not being held at a hotel is going to be an issue, because it'll complicate the process of going back to the room for a rest. Usually, I catch the start of a panel, and unless it's engrossing, slip out the back and go back to the hotel room for half an hour. Then downstairs for the nest panel, and then back to rest again.

I find I can one thing in a day. I can go to work, or I can buy food, or I can cook. I can wrangle my kids, or write, or go out socially. That's all I can manage.

[Gregt] Looking forward to seeing you this Thursday (I understand).

Totally off-topic, as a dedicated Who fan, if you were to hear that you were on a Doctor Who panel chaired by someone by the name of "David Green", would that give you cause for concern? (Don't worry, you're not, I am, and some Googling has left me concerned and seeking more data.)

[chaosmanor.livejournal.com]

Can Danny shed some light on who David Green is? Are you supposed to know who David Green is?

I admittedly know all the people I'm on panels with, so apart from a small worry about being able to get a word in edgeways between Sean Williams and Jack Dann, it's all good.

Never heard of David Green. If he's too much of an arse I can offer to heckle from the audience :)

[GregT] Moderately reassuring. I'd heard tales of some "lurking monster of the Doctor Who forums" who'd achieved some degree of infamy, and a little work with Google suggested that the fellow in question might be the chair of the panel I'm on. If you haven't heard of him that's a bit of a relief.

Geez just take a panadine already! :-)

Are you going to be able to *make* it Conflux? Hope it goes well.

Y'know, you could always go as House to the Masquerade...

[livelurker.livejournal.com]

Just tell everyone you're House.
