TRUKid Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 So.. less than a week to go now.. and the nerves have kicked in 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.

Buffy Lover Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymley Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm excited, three nights of parties. Yeah I'm like 'thanks' or do the opposite side of it and say something that I later regret normally straight afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Lover Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Yeah I'm like 'thanks' or do the opposite side of it and say something that I later regret normally straight afterwards Haha, I'd probably end up doing something like that. What kind of embarassing things have you said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadrobot Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm excited about getting all dressed up for the parties but I'm also quite nervous about the photoshoots and autographs, it feels very surreal, con virgin here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccaasp! Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Im feel ok actually, i hope i dont get nervous cus that would spoil me meeting James. I am thinking too much about what i want to wear for the photos tho hehe last time for Lockdown i was like why did i wear that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffy Lover Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm excited about getting all dressed up for the parties but I'm also quite nervous about the photoshoots and autographs, it feels very surreal, con virgin here! 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.

Kymley Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Yeah I'm like 'thanks' or do the opposite side of it and say something that I later regret normally straight afterwards Haha, I'd probably end up doing something like that. What kind of embarassing things have you said? 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. Edited October 26, 2009 by Kymley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyminx Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblackrose Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginnean Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 So.. less than a week to go now.. and the nerves have kicked in 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. honestly? terrified lol dont get me wrong i am so friggin excited my head may literally explode but yeah nervous too. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elspeth Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 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!

Aivy88 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 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 . Kinda disappointed though, that Harry Groener won't be there.... But still very nervous about the other five, especially Nick and James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontwarnthetadpoles Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 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 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLOW99 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowimagination Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 awww don't be nervous y'all 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_hod Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm just looking forward to a fun weekend with a convention full of like minded people plus a chance to wear a costume is one i never pass up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm excited, but not very nervous yet. I guess all my nerves went into my exam which I handed in today. I was surprisingly calm when I met James a few months ago, didn't think I'd be so normal! I do remember finding something very funny that he said and I absolutely can't remember what it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowimagination Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 hahaha he does have that effect on me too:D It's like he's talking and I''m not hearing what he says I'm just looking at him thinking: whats the pretty man talking about ?

Buffy Lover Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Haha. XD I'll probably turn into a babbling idiot around James. I'll probably end up calling him Spike or something. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickysgirl77 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I usually babble when I am nervous and then forget what I said. I am a mix of nervous & excited about the weekend. apart from collectormania meet and greet's I haven't been to a proper con for about 5 years. I am looking forward to it though. Just hope I can get rid of this sort throat/cold thing otherwise I will be croaking my hello's at the guests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
