Cold Con 1 & 2

Hello everybody!
I realise this is a bit of a different blog post to the ones I usually make (and I would like to apologise for how long it has been - life got in the way!) but that is actually just what I wanted to avoid! I.e. having a "usual" (and I think I've mentioned this before).
But basically I want to write about my life and not necessarily just about being nice and positive all the time because, in truth, my life's not like that! Nobody's is!
So, on with the blog post!

Cold Con 1 and 2 were both chances for me to meet some of my favourite actors (from the hit BBC show "Merlin") while helping them to raise money to publicise their indie film Cold, a brilliant film which I won't discuss too much right now as I don't want to spoil it!
Needless to say, I bloody loved it and attended the private screening earlier this year. (The first Cold Con was the year before).
At the first con, I had the opportunity to meet Eoin Macken, Tom Hopper and Alexander Vlahos, and to see Colin Morgan. At the second con, I once again got to meet Eoin and Tom, but this time I also got to meet Rupert Young and Adetomiwa Edun which was brilliant. I had a wonderful, wonderful day and my favourite pictures can be seen below!

It was amazing fun but I think the weirdest part was that, while I was having my photo taken with the guys, people I didn't even know were taking pictures of me! It was completely insane but a part of me kind of loved it - it was so great! (You can see evidence of that in the top two pictures of Eoin Macken / Tom Hopper and I!)
It was a brilliant experience and I'm really hoping there'll be a third Cold Con as I would definitely be first in line to buy tickets and I know tons of other people who would too! Well, not first in line as they were bought online but... uh... yeah. Anyway!!
But yeah, it was a brilliant experience. So I might have got a bit stressed and panicky what with all of the crowds but, to me, it was totally worth it. I was able to forget my panic attacks and anxiety and shyness and actually talk!
So yeah, on the off chance that they might actually see this, I had an amazing day and I just wanted to say, on behalf of me and everyone else who loves and appreciates your work: 

thank you.
