Whee! I’m famous! Check out my lovely mug under “I ran into a random art party in the hall!”

Muaha. In the orange is Ali Wildgoose, and the blonde in the black Nimbus shirt is Flourish. The guy half cut off on the left (also in a black Nimbus shirt) is Aegus. Not sure about the Asian girl. And the next two links after “art party” show the art of (respectively) Maggie and Alicey. W00t!

Just got back from Matt’s house, where we (me, Matt, and warm brothers Luke and T-Barr) went swimming, had dinner, then watched a bunch of episodes of Clone High.

My love for Lincoln has just tripled. Sure, it’s not even close to historically accurate, but cluelessness that acute must be kept in a tiny box and treasured. Am now considering doing a Lincoln-from-Clone-High layout for CoL in its appropriateness. But then someone might stumble upon it and just think I’m a rabid fan of the show (which is sheer, unadulterated genius, don’t get me wrong). Hmm. Wah, I continue my search for an amusing layout.

Images from the shindig to be posted tomorrow, when my eyes don’t hurt from bright computer screens and chlorine.

A little help, here? In what language does “nigellus” mean “black?” ::gets back to work on WIAN::

Quotes from the Con:

From the Slash panel:

Panelist Kate Tanski: Why do heterosexual women enjoy seeing two boys getting it on?

Audience: Because it’s really hot!

(regarding “Daisy-Chain Draco”)

Panelist Vicki Dolenga: You read it and you go “what the hell did I just read?”

(regarding Slash after OOP)

Panelist John Walton: Oh my god, we’re canon. You don’t have to read much into the subtext to know that Sirius and Remus are more than friends. ::woofs::

Panelist Kate Tanski: Thank god I was a Harry/Snape slasher before this.

Panelist John Walton: Percy is the new Draco.

Panelist Vicki Dolenga: I’m just glad that we now have established female characters. Femme slash with Tonks, I mean come on.

Audience member: Writing Hermione/Ginny is subverting the system!

From the Draco panel:

Aja: (Introducing) Draco Malfoy: Slimy git now and forever, or does he have redeeming qualities?

Carlisle: Carlisle, known as Cedar. He’s a twit.

Catherine: I’m Catherine Tosenburger, and I think he’s a boring twit.

Cassie: I’m Cassandra Claire, and I think Draco has potential.

Irina: I’m Irina, and I try to see potential in everybody. I like Draco and I will not apologize for it.

Aja: No one is ambivalent. He’s Mr. Darcy or he’s Hitler.

Irina: In canon, he’s hopeless and offensive and a thorn in the side who eventually goes off into oblivion until he shouts “You killed my father! Prepare to die!”

Aja: His role is to echo Harry and underline the fact that Draco is what Harry could have been and vice versa, if Draco had any regard for human life.

Catherine: Dudley is getting all the development!

John: In the sense that he’s beating up small children! That’s depth, man!

Irina: That is so fanon.

Irina: You can’t atone for being a stupid brat.

From the Fandom Vernacular panel:

Panelist: We’re friendly! We promise! We’re just depraved!

From “The Importance of Being Ron” panel:

Panelist: It’s the half-blind leading the blind.

Panelist: Ron is a Harry/Ginny shipper.

From “Sail on, Good Ship”

H/H Panelist: In Prisoner of Azkaban, it’s all Harry and Hermione. They’re chained together, then fly off on a hippogryff, a symbol of love.

(Later)

H/R Panelist: Hermione doesn’t like riding on the hippogryff!

H/R Panelist: We look forward to the time Ron gets a clue.

H/R Panelist: We as romantics put everybody together. We put Dobby and the Giant Squid together.

From the “Timelines” panel:

(Regarding the Aberforth-IS-Dumbledore theory)

Audience member: But that would mean that it was Dumbledore prosecuted for practicing inapproprate charms on a goat.

Steve Vander Ark: Of course, you’re jumping to conclusions of what those inapproprate charms were.
