Gen Returns to the Muggle World Pt. I

Location: My Room
Reading: Insatiable Meg Cabot

So it's been about 3 weeks since Infinitus and while I still miss it all terribly, I'm settling back into normal life (i.e averaging more than 3/4h of sleep a night and being in constant HP geek-out mode). It was ... an amazing experience. Far more than I was ever expecting. When I made this plan, it was all about me. I was going to do the discussions and lectures and exclusive park event for myself, and likely do these things solo. I was also going to put a concentrated effort into socialising with my roommates in order to avoid awkwardness. What I didn't expect was, what quickly became, six days of laughter, love and even some tears (mostly at the end). The 3 girls who were initially just nice people I could split the cost of the room with became (almost instantly) 3 of my best friends. I love them (and the other people I met) to death and cannot wait until I get to see them again in July.

One of the big incentives for me (apart from the park of course) was the Wrock. If you don't know, Wrock (or Wizard Rock) is an honest to god genre of music based on and inspired by Harry Potter. They had several shows over the course of the con and it was just and amazing atmosphere. I can't even finish this post because I'm distracted by the vids on YouTube. So here's some Wrock for you until I've gathered myself enough to actually write. :)


Night of Frivolity Ball
If you're wondering, that is the sound of 2500 HP Fans collectively loosing their shit.

Jena, one of my roomies, has a channel and she and Kristen both have excellent summary videos. Yes, that is me in my Gryffindor sweater at the beginning.

If you want to see any of the vids I took, you can check out my channel (they're the only things up there).


As I said, more soon. ♥ G
