When fans meet
Jun. 9th, 2021 03:22 pmI'm visiting my mum for the first time since last October when she had her operation, and she sent me into town today to sort out her phone, which seemed to have died. I called into one of the mobile phone shops and got her phone sorted pretty quickly, but then thought I might as well see if I could get a better deal on my own phone since my contract runs out soon.
The customer service girl was nice and friendly, and in the course of sorting out what sim-only deal was best for me I mentioned that a few times a year I go to conventions so might need more data allowance then. Which led to a very nice conversation about Wandavision, TFATWS, Marvel in general and how she misses Wales Comic Con. I love it when I randomly run into another geeky person. They are invariably so happy to natter about what they love. We even discussed Supernatural's recent fandom woes and the fallout from the finale in the Destiel camp.
Gina the Wales Comic Con volunteer may have a few other things on her mind than whether conventions start up again over the next few months/years though, since she's expecting identical twin girls in August. I hope she keeps her geekiness alive and passes it onto her girls. Her X-Men passion and her hubby's love of MCU might help that happen.
Anyway, that, and getting my monthly phone bill down to a third of what I've been paying, has left me in a very good mood!
