New Yorkers puzzled by pleasant smell.

pauraque_bkI have returned.
I went to New York and saw GoF with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
_hannelore, bethbethbeth, bowdlerized, gaeta, and idlerat. I don't think my opinion has significantly changed from the first time I saw it. (Of course it wasn't quite the same without noblerot clinging to me during all the Lucius scenes, though _hannelore did cling to me at some point when Cedric was being especially handsome, I think.) I haven't read any fandom reviews yet, but did anyone/everyone notice that in the scene where Harry approaches Cedric to tell him about the dragons, Cedric seems to be lying down with his head in a male student's lap, Draco/Pansy style? I mean, he is, isn't he? Or have I lost my mind?
bethbethbeth, who is not actually a polar bear, cried at the end, though no one else did because we're heartless bastards.
idlerat also enjoyed it, avec analysis. But then she got sick and we didn't see her the rest of the weekend, and that was the cause of much sadness. *sends healing vibes in a ratly direction*
I also hung out withziggy1278 and sistermagpie. Magpie is very much like I imagined her, and it's probably not surprising that we ended up talking animatedly about canon for quite a while, with _hannelore. Canontalk! Live and in person! Major highlight. Magpie also led us out-of-town people around Manhattan way more than she had to, because that is the kind of person she is. ♥
Then I briefly sawali_wildgoose and cleolinda er, make that jlh and epicyclical and about ten million other LJ types who aren't really in my circle at a Chinese restaurant. Does like half of HP fandom live in the NYC area, or what?
It was my first time meeting all those people, except foridlerat, whom I have been blessed with meeting three times now! I do love fan gatherings. Hm... When's Lumos, again?
Then I came home. As I predicted, the house is completely trashed, as I am the only one who cleans it. Plus, I think the apartment building next door stole my garbage can again. But the animals are still alive, so I will cope.
So, anything interesting happen on LJ while I was gone? Seriously, if there's anything you want me to see, point me. I'm not going to catch up with five days' worth of posting!
