It feels strange posting about Terminus before it's even started. I thought staying at the hotel would be anticlimactic, but coming home every night is even more so. There's a definite sense of feeling left out when everyone talks about con stuff. To be honest, after today, I'm tempted to just find some people looking for another roommate and join up with them.
If there's one thing I've noticed about the con so far, it's that there are three distinct groups of people:
1) The cliquey teenagers who come just to hang out with friends from previous cons, party, and get drunk.
2) The fandomers.
3) The really intense emo people who scare me a little.
I spent the first half of the evening with the first group, and then the second half with the second. I have to say, the second half was considerably more enjoyable. I adore Nickie, but her friends are really... er, not the kind of people I usually hang out with. They all know each other from Prophecy, so it was kind of weird tagging along with them. Honestly, they spent the entire time getting plastered. Not much fulfilling conversation going on there. Most of them didn't even register for the con -- we snuck into the Wrock concert, and they're planning to sneak into the ball. I might have to do the same if I can't find a way to buy a ticket.
I left the Wrock concert early and talked to Nickie for a while before heading up to the
terminus_hd goodie bag stuffing party. Let me tell you, introducing yourself by your LJ name to people you only know by their fics and occasional RL posts (or, in some cases, just their username popping up in comms every once in a while) is THE weirdest thing in the world. It was fun, though, and I got to meet a bunch of awesome people ♥ I'm hella excited for the H/D meet-up tomorrow. The trip there is gonna suck, though. It takes me about two hours by train to get to Millennium Park, which means an early morning for me ;__;
