OMG!!!111!! HOBBITS!!! SQUEE!!!111!!

[liptonrm_backup]

Hee, sorry for the caps, but I can't control my excitement. Just spent the morning in Ann Arbor with the wonderful, beautiful, amazing, eloquent shirebound and baylorsr. We talked and we laughed and we exchanged hobbity hugs and it was a wonderful thing. I was so nervous beforehand. *blush* My shy gene kicked in about a week ago but the minute I walked into that lobby and saw them it all evaporated away. Hobbit fans really are some of the greatest people anywhere.

I still can't believe I met them! They're like fandom celebrities (at least to me;-) and though I may not have said much I adored sitting there and just soaking it all in. I am no fully in support of constructing The Shire Commune post haste because we all need more hobbits in our lives.

After leaving the mini-Moot (or the A2 Hobbit Bash) I raced over to have lunch with hlgraban who may not be a hobbit fan but is still one of the greatest people I know;-). She gave me boxes and boxes of Christmas Peeps, along with scone mix and tea. And may I just say that the gingerbread flavored Peeps are delicious.

Oh SQUEE! This has been the perfect day.

ETA: And now I have to go and friend a whole bunch of authors (who I'd heard of and loved but hadn't friended because I'm lazy). Just a general warning to fandom at large;-).

Wow, hobbit filled days are the best (well, except for Farscape filled days, they are about as good)

Hi! I stumbled across your journal a while ago and have been meaning to ask if it'd be alright if I friended you.

Hobbit people are indeed wonderful, especially if they're fans of second breakfast. ;)

Glad you had fun, and glad you enjoyed the peeps. Someone should!

Ugh, I don't feel so well right now... And I think I know why, but it's nothing to do with lunch... Let's just say too much of a good thing can sometimes be bad. Ugh...

Hey, write more of our adventure, will you?!

You left your bumper sticker and pin and now I have them and am holding them hostage until we get together for lunch soon!

I had such a great morning, and I can't tell you how happy I am to hear another hobbity person is in my vicinity. Talk to you later!

Oh LORD, isn't baylorsr already insufferable enou...oh HI, Baylor!

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Yes, Farscape days are wonderful. I can't imagine them being better then hobbit days, but they're definitely running neck and neck;-).

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

I think it's impossible to be a hobbit person and not be a fan of second breakfast, it just goes with the territory;-).

I would love it if you friended me! That'll give me the wonderful excuse to get to know you;-).

Oy, what am I? Your personal story teller? I will not tolerate noise from the peanut gallery!

Who am I kidding? I adore the attention, I'm eating it up. I'm such a comment whore;-).

Don't feel sick! Stupid food, sometimes I wonder why we eat it...

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Nooooo! Not that! What did they ever do to you? You evil blackmailing kidnapper, you! Of course, I'll do anything you say, just don't hurt the pin and the bumper sticker. They're innocent I tell you, innocent!

Pshaw, as if you'd have to resort to blackmail. Yes, we certainly will be talking later. *cue evil laughter*

Oh, I know. You should have heard her today. She, like, talked about other people's stories and was gracious and charming and even mentioned your name at least once. Can you believe the nerve of her? I don't know how I lived though it.

And of course I'm not just saying that because I know Baylor's lurking around here somewhere. Of course not ...

[baylorsr.livejournal.com]

Nobody move or the bumper sticker gets it! *laughs evilly with you*

[baylorsr.livejournal.com]

Oh, hello, Oselle. And what were you saying?

Oh you'd better be careful. I've seen many reduced to sniveling wrecks by her BNF wrath.

Well then, reimbursement should be in order, don't you think?

I will take payments in the form of cash, check or chocolate, though undying gratitude is also acceptable.

And I got to meet YOOOOOO!!!! We need more time to talk, next time!

*hugs you and dances you around the room*

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes. We need hours and hours and hours next time. Not just mornings, but whole days.

*joins in hugging dance around the room*
