... oh wow, was it ever *brilliant*! I've had so little sleep during the past week, and am still running high on giddy excitement, with random goofy grinning every time I remember details. It was amazingly done from the opening night to the programming to the *breathtaking* Yule Ball and I'm still in awe of everybody who's had a hand in organising it. Wow. The sheer amount of work and effort and passion that went into it!

Seeing [livejournal.com profile] chthonya and [livejournal.com profile] lazy_neutrino again was just amazing, as was meeting all those wonderful people from my f-list and some I've never even encountered online before.

Highlights - too many to count, really: watching [livejournal.com profile] chthonya driving a bulky van through London traffic like a pro, being huggled by [livejournal.com profile] annephoenix at reception, squeeing over meeting people like [livejournal.com profile] waterbird, [livejournal.com profile] catsintheattic, [livejournal.com profile] jaelle_n_gilla and omg, [livejournal.com profile] mijan all through the opening night, [livejournal.com profile] waterbird's Ron/Lucius gift, seeing [livejournal.com profile] rowan_r's Revenge Tragedy performed, the Darkfic and [livejournal.com profile] chthonya's Lucius panels on Friday, lunch with [livejournal.com profile] parlophone, [livejournal.com profile] painless_j and [livejournal.com profile] leni_jess, breakfasts with [livejournal.com profile] fluffyllama, [livejournal.com profile] trobadora and [livejournal.com profile] lazy_neutrino (so *sorry* I didn't catch you again to say good-bye, love), holding DH in my hands at 1.30am at the Waterstones, reading it together with [livejournal.com profile] chthonya amidst giggling, moaning and bursting into tears, THE BOOK itself (ohmyeffinggods!), the Yule Ball with its amazing decoration and costumes and ceilidh music, Itchquidd in the park (damn the mosquitoes, every one of them but was it *ever* fun), watching smut-art in progress during the picnic (and working up the nerve to talk to [livejournal.com profile] dementordelta, ohgods, I'm such a fangirl), drinks and chat with [livejournal.com profile] riibu afterwards, and a *wonderful* chilling-out night with [livejournal.com profile] annephoenix, [livejournal.com profile] dracos_doll and [livejournal.com profile] chthonya. And of course my copy of DH with all the signatures :).

And tons more people whom I was so happy to meet, if way too shortly - [livejournal.com profile] ariadneelda, [livejournal.com profile] blue_braces, [livejournal.com profile] dark0feenix, [livejournal.com profile] dracofiend, [livejournal.com profile] snakeling, [livejournal.com profile] son_of_darkness, [livejournal.com profile] yamato__ishida (and Harry!), [livejournal.com profile] aunty_marion, [livejournal.com profile] dacro, [livejournal.com profile] gatewaygirl, [livejournal.com profile] melusinahp (not remotely enough time, but... wow!), [livejournal.com profile] sulky_rhino and [livejournal.com profile] tien_riu! With apologies to everyone I failed to mention, but whoever knows me in real life will be aware that being braindead is not an occasional condition of mine, but a way of life :).

Things that reduced me to tears: the Yule Ball ticket gift from [livejournal.com profile] annephoenix (who is, in person, even more incredibly amazing than she's online!), the beautiful Ron-and-Lucius bookmarks from Waterbird, having to go home again.

Things learned: that I love fandomers (even more than I'd already thought), lots about HP from the panels, the end of canon, and that I'll never be cut out to be a proper shipper ;).

Regrets: that it's over already, that I only just managed to see [livejournal.com profile] amanuensis1, [livejournal.com profile] moshes and [livejournal.com profile] magic_at_mungos for a second, and never managed to meet [livejournal.com profile] fleshdress and a few others. The LJ scare just when everybody was occupied with other things. And again, that it's over... Oh, and a little bit that canon is over now (but definitely not *how* it ended, well, apart from one teensy little bit that nobody liked anyhow, *g*).

I've met *so* many brilliant people I had not even *time* to be a scaredy-cat, how cool is *that*??? And I got to visit the National Gallery again on Tuesday, after navigating the tube without any messups.

There will be a by now totally obsolete post on DH tomorrow (done by everybody and their housecat already, so don't expect much, ok!).

Again - it was *so* wonderful!
