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.
Anyone else 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

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!

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
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

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.

We're gonna be as comfy as ever since we were all brought together there by common love for our fave shows
My belly always does the butterfly thing though when I'm in front of james.
But that's diff I guess
We're gonna have so much fun and the bestest time ever!
