Collectormania Report!

[neverwhere]

Lalalalalala I hugged BILLY and he sang for me lalalala...

*giggles*

Here are all the important bits about my trip to Collectormania:

• trianne is a Goddess and I adore her more than she will ever know. And she has the sexiest most adorably geeky son, who is incredibly tall and very Elvish, which is just too cute considering that his mum is the biggest Hobbit Wench in the world. *grins* hjartad (henceforth known as Kia). our other partner in crime, is just as sweet as can be, and is a total gigglemonster. I think she does it to attract men. *smirks* ;-)
  
  
  
• Sadly there were no giant standups of Nightcrawler or LOTR watches to be seen, which made me very sad, but I did manage to find Peter Wingfield's autograph (*winks at glassapples and mrs_puppethead, who are now insanely jealous, bwahahahaha ;-) and an X-Men poster with Kurt on it. Oh, and btw -- all you squealing fangirls who now adore my beloved fuzzy blue elf, remember: I SAW HIM FIRST. So hands off. :-P
  
  
  
• The first person I met was Corin Nemic, who plays Jonas Quinn on Stargate: SG-1, although I'm sure alot of you might know him better as Parker Lewis from Parker Lewis Can't Lose. I was absolutely gobsmacked and utterly unprepared for how NICE he was. The man is Niceness personified. He smiled his luminous smile at me, asked 'So what's your story?', and when I told him I wanted to say hello the day before (I met Trinny and Kia at the event on friday but I didn't stay) but he was looking 'too cute and intimidating' he laughed and said that I should have come over anyway and talk to him. He was flattered, I was blushing, and it was just the sweetest moment. We laughed at each other and had our picture taken, and I couldn't stop squeeing about him for the rest of the day. I couldn't believe how genuinely friendly he was. I wish I could have spent more time with him, he was just the nicest guy. :)
  
  
  
• After forcing Trinny to go swoon over Bruce Hopkins (Gamling the Old, who was actually not at all old, and rather tanned and dishy) we met Andy Serkis. Andy is the perfect Hobbit. I am so enamoured of his two little chipmunk teeth that stick out when he smiles, and his gorgeous hobbit curls. I wish they had photos of him to sign, instead of Gollum, because he's so cute. And I told him so. *grins* He said something like 'wow, that's so kind of you to say!' and giggled a bit, which made me want to pounce on him right then and there. *laughs* He posed for pictures, signed my photo 'to my precioussssssss' and I bounced away burbling happily.
  
  
  
• John Rhys Davies is a tickle fiend. He tickled all the girlies when posing for pictures to make them smile (and, one suspects, because he needed a bit of entertainment after all those tedious hours ;-) and was an absolute sweetheart. The poor man was quite obviously knackered and ready to collapse, but he refused to stop signing until everyone had seen him. What a guy. :)
  
  
  
• BILLEH. Oh, what can I say about my true love...except that I completely buggered up my 3 seconds with him and could barely keep myself from hyperventilating, which resulted in a gaspy, panting whiiiine, which was humiliating for me and probably quite terrifying for him. *laughs* The queue for him was so long that we didn't get to see him until almost 6pm, but it was, of course, worth the wait. At one point he walked down the queue to pose for pictures, and I got mine taken with Kia. I was flustered, squealing inside, and worried that in my one picture with him I would have an enormous double chin. He SQUEEZED ME around the waist. He winked playfully. He grinned alot. Guhhh.
  When I finally got to the front I could barely speak, but I managed to stammer out my name, and he began to SING. Billy sang for me. I'm such a lucky bitch. *lol* I wanted to say something clever, something meaningful, something he wouldn't normally hear from an obsessed fangirl like me. But I said nothing. I giggled and squeed and when he finished writing I ran away, shouting 'Eeeeeeeeeee!' as I left. I know I scared him. Ah well. *laughs*
  

Lots of other fun stuff happened, like meeting up with the lovely sheldrake, who came with her flatmates and were our own personal Paparazzi for the day, and watching X2 friday night, giving Trinny and Kia the opportunity to join my Nightcrawler obsession. Mmmmmmm Kurt. *G* And of course who could forget Trinny molesting her pillow and pretending it was her beloved Elijah -- the image of her squeezing the bottom of the pillow like it was Elijah’s bum will stay with me forever. *lol*

I'm so happy I got to spend this time with my friends before I leave. Seeing Billy and the others was just a bonus. And really, really big bonus. *grins impishly*

He grinned hugely and tickled all the girls. It was so cute. (I thought it might be a bit pervy, but it was incredibly sweet. Everyone go awwwwwwww. ;-)

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

OMG, how weird - I *nearly* went to that! And two friends did go, and though they missed out on actually meeting the Billeh himself, they did take photos and got smiled at. :D

I'm glad you had such a good time. :D

*goes off singing Where is Billy? We want Billy! Where is Billy? B-I-double-L-y, we're all hiiiis! He's our kind of a guy, and oh what luck, cause here he is!*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

You should have come! I would have loved to meet you. And even if you had missed Billy, *I* would have smiled at you for free! *giggles*

[jrivka.livejournal.com]

I AM SO JEALOUS.

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

You are such a sweetheart. And flatterer. *grins*

*snog* :)

[bcgphoenix]

Ack! More than ever, I wish I lived in the UK. Collectormania sounded so fabulous...and Singing!Billeh! Am so envious.

...all you squealing fangirls who now adore my beloved fuzzy blue elf, remember: I SAW HIM FIRST. So hands off. :-P

As you wish. But you're willing to share, aren't you? *big, round, puppy-dog eyes*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I might be willing to set up an arragement wherein you are allowed visitation rights once a month. *smirk*

[airemay.livejournal.com]

I wanna see the pickies! And why haven't you been on AIM? I've missed you. :( Plus, I want to find out when you are coming to Cali, so I can see if I could maybe come up to the airport and greet you. <3!

[autumnfaerie.livejournal.com]

envyenvyenvy! You are SO LUCKY to have met Billeh! I hope we'll get to see a scan of the picture when you get it developed!

Geez, I'd be the same way if I ever met Sean Astin. I'd probably have been slobbering to boot, so at least you didn't drool on him.

Wow, I'm just going to sit here and envy you some more..yeah...

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Whooot!

*wallows in the envy*

I feel so powerful...muahahahahaha. *laughs* ;-)

[ex-glassappl719.livejournal.com]

I did manage to find Peter Wingfield's autograph (*winks at glassapples and mrs_puppethead, who are now insanely jealous, bwahahahaha

*dies*
meeble.
(*still on floor, dead*)
Iamnotgoingtoaskyoutoscanit.
Really.
Am not rabid fangirl.
That is so cool. Whee! Go you!

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

Of course I'm going to scan it! I can't help showing off y'know. ;-)

@.@......

[blantoncirith.livejournal.com]

that sounds FABTABULOUS! I want to meet Andy Serkis, JohnRD, and Billy! And did you say you did or did not meet Nightcrawler too? Because if you met Nigthcrawler on top of ALL THAT, I'm going to be veeeeewy vewy mad :P

They are all so gREAT! You are a duckling of the lucky type! Upload pictures soon for us to oogle? :D:D
heeeey, and did you ever get that picture of that Brit guy, what was his name... Triton or some other majestic name? He was a tour guy at some tower *shrug* And you had the sweets for him at one point. I never saw the piiiicture :'(

picturespicturespictures! lots! pwease?

Re: @.@......

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

As soon as I get them scanned (hopefully by next week) I will post MANY pictures. :)

I do have a picture of the gorgeous Stage Combat guy at the Tower, but it is so blurry you can't make out anything except his basic outline. Moop. *pout*

I have met Alan Cumming, but not this weekend. I went to a booksigning/Q&A a few weeks ago, remember? :-P

[hjartad.livejournal.com]

Aww! I did get some things backwards, didn't I? Heh. And I missed hearing him sing! Argh. You didn't tell me that. But I can understand if you wanted to keep a lovely Billy moment to yourself. :)

And you did NOT bugger up your 3 seconds. I would take your 3 seconds over mine in a heartbeat.

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I told you and Trin that he sang to me! Like I could ever keep anything so wonderful a secret. ;-)

Yay you!

[banazir.livejournal.com]

Nexcellent! Sounds as if you had a great time.

JRD a tickle-fiend? Who would have fogured?
But I thought Dwarves feared ElmoUlmo. Hrm.

What did BB sing? Or was it drwoned out by the high-dB, high-frequency ambient sound? ;-)

Re: Yay you!

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Elmo! *lol*

Why do I have the feeling you'll be writing another amusing parody soon...;-)

[bluegreen17]

lovelylovelylovely! and i too want to know what billy sang to you...

[meretia]

And then you came home and had a cold shower, right? ; )

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

You better believe it.

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

He SANG for you?!?!?!

I'm sorry, but you must die now.

And I knew about the fuzzy blue elf years ago, long before I met you, so there! *gryn*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I've loved Kurt for 15 years! I have seniority! :-P

Billy did indeed sing for me. I lovelovelovelovelovelovelove him. :)))

[terratheelf.livejournal.com]

Oh, and btw -- all you squealing fangirls who now adore my beloved fuzzy blue elf, remember: I SAW HIM FIRST. So hands off. :-P

Pardone moi? He cannot be yours alone. Not in any way shape or form. I have had my hands on him for years. ^_~ So share!

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

*sulk*

Oh, allright.

*grumblepout*

*clings to Kurt's tail and never lets go* ;-)

[ladynemo.livejournal.com]

Oh, and btw -- all you squealing fangirls who now adore my beloved fuzzy blue elf, remember: I SAW HIM FIRST. So hands off. :-P

Now I have this image of him grinning cheekily saying "Ladies, ladies, there's more than enough Kurt to go around!" and winking at us. ^_^

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

*chuckles*

He could just BAMF from one girl to the next, the cheeky bugger. ;-)

[misslunakitty.livejournal.com]

That's SOOOOO awesome. :D Lucky duck!!! :) Glad you had a fun, rabid fangirl time. :)

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

So am I!

But it sounds like you're having a great time too -- engaged to be married! Oh, you must send me photos from the wedding. ;-)

[orona-red.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmmmmm, Jonas Quinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Re:

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

He is SO gorgeous. You would have drooled all over his sexyyyy leather jacket ;-)

[ponchki.livejournal.com]

Corin Nemec was very nice indeed and I'm sure [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] would agree totally. After she met him she kept gushing about how nice he was. In fact I don't think she stopped :D

Re:

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I was still squeeing about Corin even after we met Billy. *laughs*

[mirabehn.livejournal.com]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

Oh I'm so glad you had such a good time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*too pleased for you and bouncy to be jealous, otherwise I'd be grass-coloured with envy ;) *

You must tell us when the photos are ready.

Dammit, I have to talk evil_nick into our going to one of those things this year... muhahahaha!

*huggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggs*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I'll be scanning the photos next week, I just wish they came out better. Ah well!

Go on. Be jealous. It'll make me feel powerful. *smug* ;-)

*smooooooch!*

[http://users.livejournal.com/hugsnkisses_/]

I never actually spoke to Corin (and now everyones squeeing is making me feel I should have) but I did wave to him, and he waved back. So, yay.

Was the Nightcralwer poster that lovely 4 way one? I was going to get that, but I'm glad I didn't as I wouldn't have had enough money to talk to Billeh.

What did Billeh sing you lucky thing, well atleast I brought up an obscure film he's been in which made him happy so he loves me MORE dammit! honey?

:)

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

He sang 'Michele, my belle, sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble...' *melt* :))

And yes, that was the poster. I wanted just Nightcrawler (of course), but they dont make one, sadly.

[queeniefox.livejournal.com]

when he finished writing I ran away, shouting 'Eeeeeeeeeee!' as I left. I know I scared him.

On the other hand, he'll probably remember you!

Am kicking myself for not going (turning Billy down for a crap horrible horrible party - d'oh!) but am very pleased that you and the others who went had such a good time!

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I really want to be remembered as 'that squealing girl who saw me and ran away' *giggles*
