Two weeks today I'll just be arriving at Heathrow ready to fly to Chicago. I don't feel in the slightest bit ready. I only really started doing things for it this week. But I have a list now. Fear the list! But I really need to buy a suitcase so I can start packing.

I'm getting really excited but at the same time I'm feeling quite laid back about the whole thing. It weird because normally I like to have epic plans of what's being done when and I honestly have no idea. I think I'm doing an architecture boat tour on the Thursday with Team Assbutt but apart from that I am entirely in the hands of

cassiopeia7 who is taking me places and very kindly letting me stay with her for a couple of days between cons.

I'm just going with the flow really, which is quite unlike me but it's a nice change.

Con-wise I can't make up my mind which guest I am most excited about. I mean obviously Misha is the reason I'm going in the first place but I'm really looking forward to my joint meet and greet with Matt Cohen and Richard Speight Jr. I'm not really doing much with Jared apart from photo ops and autos which is probably for the best really because that boy has been doing crazy things to my hormones over the past few weeks.

I'm actually trying to decide what to do with my sandwich ops (one with Jared and Misha and one with Jared and Jensen). Part of me thinks I should come up with something silly for us all to do but the other part just wants to be smished between them. I shall have to think. Sadly

oh_whimsical is not coming now and she was the one who was going to make me do silly things in my photos.

wincon is getting me quite stressed now as I've sent a panel plan to my panelists and asked for input and so far I've had no replies. If I end up doing all the talking myself I will actually cry.

In other news I am going to start looking at cars with my dad next week. On the one hand I'm freaking out because it's a lot of money to spend but on the other hand I am REALLY looking forward to not being reliant on the buses. I really, really hate using the bus especially when, like last night, they just randomly don't turn up and Ros had to drive in and pick me up.

Uh...I think that's about it really.

deancasbigbang has had a few hiccups but nothing I don't think can be fixed. I'm already thinking of what to do with it next year so the experience can't have been that hideous, right?

And speaking of fic I have just loaded a bunch of Merlin bigbang fics onto my reader so thanks to those who recced me stuff. Looking forward to reading them. I actually just spent a bit of time reading a couple of my old classic J2 faves. I am still ridiculously in love with The Doors of Time and I am now about halfway through Do I Look Bulletproof To You?. They make me happy :)

Oh, and the whole point of this post was I wanted to do a role call. Who is going to Chicon and who is going to Wincon so I know who to look out for. This is what I have so far:
