So.. less than a week to go now.. and the nerves have kicked in :D

I'm never normally nervous about going to conventions but my usual group of con-buddies are not attending Hallowhedon so it all seems a little weird lol.

Very much so. At CM I said about two stuttered sentences to Amber and nothing at all to Mercedes except a very, very timid 'Thanks' so I'm hoping I can say some more to the guests this time. :D
I'm also quite nervous about meeting everyone I speak to on here and on MSN and stuff, 'cause even though I'm perfectly weird on the computer, I'm far too shy in real life.
Excited but nervous, that's exactly how I'm feeling right now.

I've met -

Doctor Who/Torchwood: Karen Gillan x 3, Matt Smith x 2, David Tennant, Arthur Darvill, Catherine Tate, Alex Kingston, Caitlin Blackwood, Neve McIntosh, Catrin Stewart, Frances Barber, Simon Fisher Becker, Christina Chong, Dan Starkey, Stuart Milligan, Mark Sheppard x 2, W Morgan Sheppard, Camille Coduri, Eve Myles.

Whedon: Amber Benson x 2, Mercedes McNab x 2, Nick Brendon, James Marsters, James Leary, Mark Lutz, Tony Head x 2, Jewel Staite, Stephanie Romanov, Alan Tudyk, Robin Sachs, Charisma Carpenter, Adam Busch.

Yeah, I know what you mean! I went to Collectormania last year, but I've never been a con. I'm really worried that everyone else is gonna know what they're doing and I'm just gonna be...Lost.

Something that doesn't actually make sense or something that I mean to be innocent but comes out insulting either way they like at me like I'm a freak. Not going into details cus thats just embrassing, better not to say anything.

Yep, I'm nervous too... the last few months I've just been excited but now that it's 4 days away I'm starting to get a bit jittery! A bit like that first-day-of-school 'will anyone talk to me?' sort of feeling!!

I've never done a con either but went to CM at milton keynes which was fab so have a vague idea about how photoshoots and autos work! :blink:

Really excited but also very nervous.
I tend to turn into a complete idiot when I meet guests.
When I met Nathan Fillion at Collectormania he said "Hi, I'm Nathan Fillion" and I just grinned stupidly at him and said "yes, you are". What a bleeding doofus !!!!
Looking forward to seeing people off here but when I see them I go all shy and don't say anything at all.
It took me all my time to work up the nerve to speak to DB and only managed it cos I had goodies      :blink:
Xander : Shoot me, stuff me, mount me.
The Pack

Emmett : Fall down again Bella?
Bella     : No Emmett. I punched a werewolf in the face.
Eclipse.

Met so far;
Nicholas Brendon, James Marsters, Mercedes McNab, Mark Lutz, James Leary
Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Justin Chon, Christian Serratos, Alex Meraz, Bronson Pelletier, Chaske Spencer, Tyson Houseman

I am going with three gals i have been friends with for about three years now. i have never met any of them before but they all get together a lot offline so im kind of scared to be meeting them for the first time worried we might not get along offline which is uber scary cos i love those girls to bits and ignoring the fact that the weekend would suck if we didnt get along, id also lose three great friends. so yeah, me=scared.

on the other hand if it all goes well, this is gonna be one hell of a weekend :no:

To be honest......I cant even begin to think about the convention right now, let alone get nervous!  I've got so much work to get through this week and rehersals for the play I'm in, before I can relax!

It's 8.30pm and I'm still in Uni, that's 12 hours I've been sitting this damn computer room trying to map the magmetic field of Neptune and compile data for my masters project.....not fun!

Thank god for this weekend!

Come Friday Afternoon when my class/presentaion is over, i bet I'll be a nervous wreck though!!!! 4 days......can't believe it!

Ok, so I wasn't that nervous, until I read this threat....

Now, I'm totally nervous about talking to people and just grinning or turning red :whistling:. Kinda disappointed though, that Harry Groener won't be there.... But still very nervous about the other five, especially Nick and James.

Haha, yeahh I'm really nervous!
I'm pretty shy that's one thing, but i'm even more nervous about the fact that I'm from Norway and not sure my english is the best xP  
Hehe, I doubt anyone will even pronounce my name right x)

Anyway, never been to anything like this before so it's going to be a whole new experience :D
Luckily I'm not going alone from Norway though, my friend is coming with me!

So if someone wants to hang out with two 'Norwegians', feel free to let me know  :D

There's nothing to be nervous about, we con regulars all don't bite (unless you ask us to), and the guests will be used to people being nervous/excited around them and know how to put you at your ease. I know James Marsters certainly does.  :)
I aim to misbehave

Yeh. James is fantastic. The first time i met him i managed to squeak at him. My other half had to translate.
Think i'm more nervous about meeting you guys and whether you'll like me. The whole thing about me joining the forum was to get to know people as i've been to a con on my own before and kinda ended up a loner. I'm shy until i get to know you and see what i can get away with saying without offending anyone.
