sad news now: if you emailed me on narod.ru and got no response whatsoever, chances are your letter has been eaten. I've kicked myself and will be careful from now on, but... try again?

consider osmosis...
I am that weird quiet person in the back of the room [even when I sit in the second row] who never ever asks questions. important or relevant questions, anyway.
consider interviews, Klatches, and the wonderful Paul Kidby Masterclass... (if you can stand that much brown #-)
it was not exactly about things being said [or not]. it was a bit about discovering things inside you, like creative mechanisms of similar nature... it was about a chance to witness them work miracles - and about a chance. for you.
like that school for witches, yes? opening the bits inside you did not know were shut...
[except that OD moment, when said bits short-circuit and explode]

...and when a wee bit of a story twists out of your grasp just like that, well, rejoice: it's the cramps of creation '-)

*sigh* better to get it out of my system now.
convention newbies of a certain age, female, ought to be given, before arrival, a strict warning along the lines of "There be Dragns, we Kid you notte!"
I wasn't.
so, for future occasions, if God wishes there be any, there is this:

is a weird old dream something to hold on to when the world seems falling apart?
( anyway )
what the hell? well, the thing about this dream is...
the thing is, at the DWCon2004 I've been only too often reminded of that sad vision of a red room...

so, um, heraldry.
there were 2 designs, actually, but because of very happy memories of sitting under a certain wall I went with
( this one. )
that stands to show how much I have not done instead #-)

now I fully know what 'blissed out' means & feels like.
DWCon 2004 was [yes, was. damn]... 'great', 'awesome', 'amazing', 'fantastic' & the like don't quite tell the story. one of the best things ever to happen to anyone, IMHO. it was a miracle, considering the scale, and every day you could see it being performed... by us. made as it went along. dear gods, wow.
we've been astounded, hugged & held, welcome, told some damn good stories, and read at to...
we've learned that the world is if not full of then generously supplied with people fine. [some of whom too kindly put up with my horrible accent, bad table manners and generally frail frame of mind. God bless you and keep you!]
we have indeed learned magical effects of a bra [to say nothing of a corset] '-)
and the wonders of heraldry, too. no, honestly.
also learned had been several basic mantras ['drink. reasonably, but do' * 'eat well, you'll need it' * 'sleep if you dare' * 'relax, but stay aware' * 'it happens. all around you' * 'if you like it, for crying out loud go for it' ekcetra... oh, and esp. 'your photoflash does not really work at long distances']. as a rather radically dressed witch had pointed out, a ConVirgin I were no more... and one could not ask for a better first time!
cimes committed were those of Loitering With Intent, Stalking & Fangirling, Telling Sucking Jokes, Teasing Fellow Addicts, and Worrying the Watch & the Committee by Walking Around With Happily Glazed Expression. ah, and the gravest one: Not Staying in the Bar on Sunday Night. I plead first offence... #-)
~
at least I made notes. sort of. when I could get my mind to catch up with the rest '-) shall attempt tidying them up this weekend.

...but it was only too easy, to lose your head. you turn the corner & proceed towards breakfast, but your mind stays back there, curling cat-like about bench legs & listening to him turn newspaper pages...
*guilty as charged*
