Boy, I Was Young Once

Looking at old photos, and this is me and [livejournal.com profile] ninjababe ten years ago on the Scifi Sea Cruise with Nigel Bennett. The only reason I actually have computer copies is that my boss scanned the prints for me when I got home from my trip. Nin was a baby!!






Myra Furlenn and her husband and Nigel


Two of fave photos of Nin....

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

If I had gotten that close to NB I might have gone flibbety. I was pretty much incoherent when I met PW. OTOH, it's a quiet flibbety...

Thankfully, I'm not that prone to flibbety [g] I'm excellent at small talk -- my one social skill. I grew up in a hotel my father was resident manager of, so we lived in. I was trotted off to cocktail parties and such from the time I was seven. So meeting guests at cons is just like that!

You rule so hard for that. I have no cool. I just kind of get quiet and let everyone around me talk.

Unfortunately, it doesn't translate into not being shy. I have to psych myself into it. I think it must be like acting. It's like assuming a role.

There were only four or five of us that were there as FK fans, so yeah, we spent pretty much the entire cruise together. Went sightseeing, ate our meals together. The other guests were Myra Furlenn from B5 and Sylvester McCoy from Doctor Who. Nin and I became Sly's unofficial bodyguards since he had a very ardent fanboy on the ship. and it was a small ship, only 500 passengers. There were about 15 of us in the group total.

I don't know why, but this makes me laugh and laugh.

It was pretty darn funny. He'd even ask to sit between us at dinner. And 'Sly' -- not his nickname at all till Nin bestowed it. He seems to like it [g]

He's a doll. You wouldn't have had any trouble talking to him. He's genuinely kind, not to mention mischievous :)

Nigel has rather a gift for de-flailing flaily people. I recall seeing him meet quite a few. Mostly I think it's just that he's so unflustered by it, the fan ends up unflustering too.

[identity profile] trystan830.livejournal.com 2007-10-29 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
well that's cool!

people have said that about Jensen Ackles too.

but seeing as i've not met either, and don't have the money to either, unless one of them knocks on my door, i guess i won't be able to test it out. ;)

Nin has this thing where she tries to do bunny ears over anyone she has a photo taken with. Nigel clued into that early on, and that was his revenge [g] Absolutely cracked me up when I took the photo.

Oh, you all are so *cute*!!! And Nigel with the bunny ears! *dies* What fun!

The photos are wonderful, I like them!
I've met Nigel 4 times and everytime it was a great pleasure talking to him about old and new projects. He still is a wonderful actor!

Thanks for sharing them with us!
