elliejaneWell, me and C found our way to the GMEX alright. And I cannot emphasize too much how we had a FANTASTIC time! Seriously, it was a great, great day!
The main draws were Craig Parker (Haldir from Lord of the Rings) and Joe Flanigan from Stargate Atlantis.
Joe F. is gorgeous. I mean, he just really is. I know, being the shallow lass I am, that I watch (drool, ogle, gaze adoringly at) him whenever he is on screen in Atlantis and I love the character of Sheppard. And in real life he is just totally teh sex on legs. Can't help it. I don't know if it's the hair or the voice or just the whole enitire man himself, but....sighs. Do I feel like a fawning fan girl? Pretty much.
He's very nice to meet, if a tad reserved. Well, not exactly reserved, but more guarded, perhaps, as if deep down he is bemused by all these people wanting to see him. And maybe a little worried that some of us are stalkers.
But then again, anyone would come across as reseved after meeting Craigy Craig Parker, who is THE most attractive, charming, aimiable, pleasant, chipper, fantastic, open, adorable man ever. All the other guests were sat quite properly behind their desks to sign. Craig was perched on the front of his! He shook our hands, said 'I'm Craig' and made us feel so relaxed and easy in his company. And during the photo ops, he actually picked up the woman in front of us in his arms for the her photo. Us? Jealous much?
MEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! You shoulda been there!!!!!!!!!
We bumped into Lil Aber Lisa and Sarah whilst there, and had a quick chat which was really nice. We each knew the other was going, but didn't really think we'd trip over ourselves, but we did :). And then we did again, briefly at the end of the day, when C and I were standing (lurking) across from the guests tables, handily positioned to see both Joe and Craig just by a turn of the head. Heh.
So, had a gorgeous time, met gorgeous men. Excellent time had by all. Nods.

She's totally smitten by Craig Parker. Whilst we were standing, watching the two guys, we felt sure that one of the other guests, the guy who played Murdock in the A-Team, had noticed us lurking suspiciously!
And yes, it's been ages, be nice to catch up at some point. I dare say we'll collide at a con or event or whatever sooner or later :) :)

I'd assumed this was all happening in February (like it did last time, and it would've been a nice present to myself), and thus I had time to save up, yadda yadda, and nobody bothered correcting me. Probably because they all thought I knew when it was. I didn't even bother looking at the date on the ad in SFX because I thought they were just advertising early.
Christ. *kicks self and hopes Ellie isn't especially religious and thus offended by her taking the Lord's name in vain*
I am SUCH a doofus. Here is proof! (BTW, I will prob mention this in my next journal entry, so any apologies for déjà vu). BAH! I shall go away now and stop filling your journal up with annoyed noises.
