Snowflake - Day 2

Day 2

In your own space, share a favorite memory about fandom: the first time you got into fandom, the last time a fanwork touched your heart, crazy times with fellow fans (whether on-line or off-line), a lovely comment you’ve received or have left for someone.


First time I met fellow fans - Fall Out Boy show in Melbourne for their reunion tour. Computer glitch meant I missed a ticket for Sydney but shinetheway had an extra for Melbourne, another fan offered to host me and other fangirls and it was a terrific show (fun by yourself but better with friends) and a really fantastic experience. Everyone was so damn happy to be there!

Blessedly cool weather today. The dogs got a long walk - almost too long for Miss Shadow who was dragging her feet by the end. Had a long chat with friend Kitt, trying to organise a girl's day around the oncoming heat, while being diverted by all our usual conversational topics plus her newly crawling daughter faceplanting into her leg, twice.

Did some exercises, started a new book about Marco Polo, got interested, remembered it was due back at the library tomorrow, cursed, checked, not due until next week (yay!) made dinner, tossed some things, watched What We Do in the Shadows. Hilarious NZ vampire mockumentary directed by and starring Taika Waititi & Jemaine Clement. Waititi directed Thor: Ragnorok which I missed in cinemas and I'm even more annoyed about that now. He's hilarious in this. And I just watched Moana in which Clement voices Tamatoa the crab. I kept imagining Vladislav busting out with "SHINY!!!"

Good day, although we were supposed to meet a pony today. That may take a while now.

That's a fantastic memory to have!

Hooray for cool weather! I'll keep my fingers that it will last much longer than the forecast predicts.

Hope it's stayed cool for you.
