Do you know what I did today? I will tell you!

I was at a seminar on children's literature! And do you know who spoke at the seminar on children's literature where I was? Maria Nikolajeva, that's who! And I got to shake her hand and she said I had an interesting idea (and she didn't say that in that you're-a-crazy-person-now-please-go-away placating way) when I went on about shared context and images and descriptions as they're represented in multimedial children's lit and mainstream lit and fanfiction. I said 'fanfiction' at Maria Nikolajeva.

*deep breath*

I'm now going to spend the rest of the day mulling this over, and trying to convince myself that I probably didn't make an ass of myself quite as badly as I thought I did. Probably. There's a chance nobody noticed there was a crazy person at the seminar. A good chance. Maybe.

Oh god. Why did I ever think it was a good idea to open my mouth in the first place? Those were some extremely intelligent people. And driven. And... woah. They said they wanted me to attend a seminar in Helsinki in the beginning of May. *insert panicky emoticon here* I'm going to let my children's lit mentor down so badly when I fail at this, it's not even funny.

Uhm, yes. Focusing on the right here and now.

It's been an awesome day so far.
