*tired waves*

I did get streaming up for my finally at the vidpost for the How to Train Your Dragon vid.

I also made a challenge vid this year to the movie Valley Girl, but I won't be able to release it online until I get home because I do not have a proper web copy here.

Am very, very tired. Excellent con which I will talk about later when I have my brain back.

I have thoughts on this years Vividcon and how it affected me in a variety of ways both fannish and personal. Many, many thoughts. And feelings, god so many feelings. VividCry 2011 as it has been dubbed by sdwolfpup. At some point I'm going to talk about the me stuff.

Right now I want to talk about this. And then I stared at the text box for ten minutes trying to think where to go next with 'this' because 'this' was so...indescribable. But, okay, you know absolutedestiny's Up vid that premiered? If you haven't yet seen it please do (have tissues on hand). So there's a moment at the end where Carl is looking at the Adventure Book where Ellie has written "Thanks for the adventure, now go have a new one."

That. That was Vividcon this year. Old friends paging through the depth and history of this shared experience that will never be the same now that it is permanently altered by the Sandy shaped hole, sometimes through tears and sometimes through laughter, always with love. You. You are important. You are wanted. You are missed. You make my day that much happier. You listened. You laughed. This is what I saw over and over, people not forgetting to say that to each other now. Remembering that it matters. And not forgetting tomorrow, the new faces who bring new memories, new friendships, new connections. Time to have new adventures. Not to replace the old ones, but to honor them.

This is the year Vividcon flew under a sea of balloons and came home ready to face what comes next with new friends by our side. And I feel honored to have shared that with you all.
