Oh, Fandom. You're so silly.

So, the SPN con in the UK is in full swing, and apparently the hot topic of conversation is . . . .

Jensen's hair.

He's let it grow out to Still Life lengths, and the debate on Twitter is does it look good or not.

One Twit(terer) said she couldn't believe he let it grow out. I realize that this is a common way to express surprise, but I still find it the comment highly amusing. He had a beard in Australia. He's let his hair grow out for the UK. He's *gasp* being Jensen.

It will take all of maybe half an hour to get his Dean cut back when they start shooting S5.

Here's hoping con goers get some good pics of all the guests. (Video would be nice, too, but I'm not holding my breath. I have a feeling the days of completely pieced together con sessions are a thing of the past. For now.)

Looks like tornado weather out my window, and I've got a schmoozefest to go to this evening. (I won't be overly schmoozing, though. The tickets were offered to us by someone who ended up not being able to go.)

Watched "Bugs" yesterday and "Home" today. Debating whether or not to corral my thoughts on them.

ETA: It's raining quite heavily, and the air smells of ozone.

I've also decided that, after reading all the posts from the various cons about how unorganized things are, say what you will about Creations, they at least seem to have their act together. True, they charge prices that constitute highway robbery, but you know what you're getting. And I had a great time at the one (smaller) Creations convention I went to.

ETA2: The Sequel . . . Pics are starting to go up at SPNWiki. Jensen looks younger with the longer hair! Or maybe it's just that I can't help but relate the longer cut to when he played Max Morgan on Still Life. The stubble is very not Max. This will sound weird, but I'm glad he has the chance to do something different with it over hiatus if he wants to. Two of my previous actor crushes (Michael Hurst and Garett Maggart) both had to keep their hair long for their roles. Story is that as soon as their shows wrapped their series finales, the first order of business was to get a hair cut. (In Michael's case, you never know if it's just going to be a cut, or a color, or a shaved head.)

Also?

If I ever host a con, the festivities will start a day early. The con goers will be confined to a room, while 300 - 500 strangers are brought in to hug, touch, and grope--with the possible addition of coughing and sneezing--said con goers. If, after the last stranger has left, a con goer is still willing and able to project good spirits, laugh, initiate physical contact, and engage in witty repartee, he/she shall get a full refund.

[/sarcasm]

There's a reason the guys get tired of physical contact with total strangers, people. If they initiate it, that's one thing. If they agree to it, that's fine. But if they don't want to be touched, that's their choice, too. Sheesh.
