The "TP Goes to DragonCon" drinking game:

Sip every time ...

... TP falls asleep in an embarrassing position, like halfway through getting dressed.
... TP falls asleep in an embarrassing place, like Minnesota.
... TP completely doesn't notice some hot guy staring at her until it's too freaking late.
... TP tries to disgust her less-than-stalwart comrades-in-arms by vividly describing the photos Dr. Sperry shows during the Forensic Pathology track.
... TP goes for an entire day without remembering to eat an actual meal.
... TP squeals over something or someone that isn't shaped like James Marsters.

Drink every time ...

... TP buys something she doesn't need to survive over food.
... TP tosses on the little red Gandhi dress for less than an hour simply so that she can go haunt some place she heard a dirty rumor James might be anywhere near.
... TP professes to be a completely responsible, mature grownup right before she does something totally stupid, like squee and pounce at the script rack in the dealer's room.
... TP hears something in a panel that starts a Buffy rant.
... TP hears something in a panel that starts a movie rant.
... TP hears something in a panel that starts a Highlander rant.
... TP hears something in a panel that starts a comic-book rant.
... TP doesn't rant for more than an hour.

Guzzle if ...

... TP goes to the LJ panel and doesn't do or say something completely idiotic while she's there.
... TP doesn't, at the very least, try to find a way to sneak poison or a very tiny assassin to Marti Noxon through James, Danny, or Iyari.
... TP doesn't fall totally in luuuuurv with something in the dealer's room so expensive she couldn't afford it even if she tried selling off unnecessary internal organs to get it.

Start a continuous alcohol IV if ...

... TP covers up her LOTR tattoo at any point during the con for any longer than fifteen minutes.
... TP actually makes it through the con without even seeing James. At all.

Truth be told, I'm not the slavering, slobbering fangirl you'd think I'd be. I'm hopelessly realistic in that all I really want is just to see James, since coming within fifty feet of the guy during DragonCon is going to require a crowbar, a big burly wrestler, and quite possibly some nuclear weaponry. But just to see him from afar would be pretty nice. Just to know a guy who looks like that actually exists in real life? Yeah, that'd make my weekend well enough.

And yeah, I know. Pouncing, nuzzling, being dragged off to prison kicking and wailing, blah blah blah fishcakes. Yes, I am a hamster-brained yammer-monkey with an overactive saliva gland and grabby hands. (End monotonous sarcasm-heavy drone.) Dead body pictures now? *user bounces up and down hopefully*

I once bought a little red dress that looked so good on me that I said it would even make a guy like Gandhi sit up and whistle. I've had to get a newer model of the dress, but still ... Gandhi dress. :)

Let me babble pointlessly for a moment.

I think it's easier to get close to James at one of the GotR shows. The first one I went to, he walked right past me. I reached out and touched his arm, and he turned around. I really wasn't expecting that, so I just looked around nonchalantly, like "who did that?" Then this girl that I was there with went up and talked to him. Uh, why didn't I think of that? Anyway, I was gonna do the whole Marsha Brady, "I'll never wash this hand again" thing, but then I cleaned out the cat box and that was the end of that.

Have fun!

I had that kind of response at Syndicon 97 with Stan Kirsch. I think I got my fangirlishness out at that con, because I've actually been pretty tame since then. I did think it was cool of him, though, during the Jim Byrnes concert, when he passed by in the crowd and the friend who was dancing with me got his attention and asked, "Would you dance with my friend?"

I was so totally mortified, but he just smiled really sweetly, politely declined (he'd gone for beers and had one in each hand), bowed, and headed towards the side of the stage. Aww. So much more polite than Adrian Paul, that feckwit.

Oh dear God. I think I would revert back to my "teenie-bopper" days and just pass out getting that close to JM. That or break down sobbing like a little white girl at an Eminem concert.
There's a reason why I stay away from cons ::user points at weak knees and nods solemnly::

Yeah, I never thought I'd react that way. I've never understood those girls who would scream and cry in old footage of Beatles concerts. Now I can see how that might happen to an otherwise normal person.

from past experience . . .

and knowing TP the way that we do, I have a feeling that the group will be drunk by . . . what time are you supposed to get there on Thursday little troll? . . . oh well, we'll be drunk before the night is over Thursday and we will stay that way the entire con if we play her drinking game.

Goddess help all the people who play this drinking game. They'll all die of alcohol poisoning!

Will you be supplying the booze in this equation? Cuz I see people going way broke on the alcohol for this drinking game alone.
