Wincon Angst

dragojustineRandom: Dustin and I were bickering a wee bit. Today I noticed that the magnetic poetry on the fridge spelled out "she is whynee."
I wish I could peice together "he is passive agressive," but I don't seem to have the words. It would be funny if I could, though.
I can't even seem to get it together enough to finish this beta that I intended to have done by Tuesday, because I am Bad. Also, I can't get five stars on Madhouse on Medium, because I Suck. Also, I haven't yet put together a list of jobs to apply for, because I am In A Funk.
But!
I wonder if I can figure out how to make an LJ Cut work?
Anyway, I didn't sign up for WinCon because I didn't know if I'd actually be in LA by then, or still moving or working already or what, but I'm all moved in now and totally freaked at how isolated and lonely I am, and decided I want to go. So I scrambled and got a ticket. But I'm absolutely terrified because I'm a total con virgin and terribly shy and I'm just a fandom lurker so, while I'll know a bunch of people, they won't actually know me, and it's a bit odd to run up to a perfect stranger and say "My god! Are you really![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
technosage ? Your fic made me watch SPN in the first place!" or "Ohmygod! Are you really femmenerd ? I think you are the most incredibly articulate and intelligent person on LJ if not the whole internet and I want to just crawl into your brain and live there!" because you see, these things would be creepy. I need to know the etiquette. Can I drop people I'm basically cyber-stalking a friendly comment to say "you don't know me, but I've read all your stuff, think it's awesome, and would love to bump into you at WinCon" or is that creepy too? I don't know. I'm afraid it's going to be a horrible experience cause I'll just be shy shy shy and then not meet anyone and be left just as much an outsider in fandom as before, you know?
BUT I'm going to go, and hopefully volunteer because there is nothing like having official-y stuff to do to dissipate the SHY SHY SHY, and we'll see how it goes.
