Picture from my trip

Thanks MaceyMom, I went on the trip by myself. I like travelling alone and there were plenty of nice people there to interact with and get all excited over things like 'oh my god Ben Browder put his arm around me!' with so you don't need your own family or friends there to get all caught up in the fun, lol. I mean I was kinda anxious cause I'm not great with socialising and my depression decided to really hit but now that I'm back home and the depression has eased up a bit I'm remembering it all a lot more fondly.

You are so brave!!!! I am so glad you had a good time. I am sure you will never wash you shoulder again. LOL (since Ben put his arm around you)

Yeah that jacket I was wearing has been special to me for a while cause I've worn it in Australia, England, New Zealand and now LA but since Ben put his hand around me whilst in it I want to frame it, lol.

Haha, thank you Paul, I'm blushing again.

I felt so small next to them. I swear I've never thought I was small but Ben is HUGE and Claudia was wearing high heels that would have broken my ankles!!! I think I was thinking all the way through that photo 'oh my god Ben Browder has his arm around me. Oh my god I have my arm around him'. As much as I love Claudia Black too it was all about Ben. lol

Thanks Merely Me, you're right. I'm already feeling better about the trip. When you're in a dip in depression it's so easy to see things negatively but the dip has passed at least a bit now and looking over photos and reading posts that other fans put on the internet recalling the convention triggers my memory in a more positive light. I'm glad I went too. It would have been nice if I had been able to truly enjoy it in the moment but you can only play with the cards you are dealt so I'll take what I can from it.

Thanks Fifi. I must admit I was a little dubious about putting my photo up - kinda shattering the whole animity a bit, but you guys are so great I felt comfortable enough.
