Dear Eastercon Committee
Mar. 25th, 2008 02:27 pmThank you so much for causing Senior Female Acolyte, Junior Female Acolyte, and Male Acolyte to desert me (and my fellow Household Goddesses, Household Devil, and Household Entertainment).
Thank you for providing much entertainment for all three acolytes, especially that annoying entertainer Mitch Benn whose earworm "Crap Shag" has replaced the usual chants and hymns in my praise. Also for stupendous GoHs (so SFA informs me) whose books will now come between me and my rightful place on SFA's (and even JFA's) lap. (Mr Gaiman, you are particularly to blame: special readings for the smaller convention members indeed! JFA was highly impressed.)
Thank you, too, for a Masquerade that SFA and JFA found interesting and just the right length. If this means they will at some future date start working on fabrics and dangly strings which I am not allowed to sleep upon or play with, my gratitude may be summarily withdrawn.
If I am not adding thanks to the dealers, this is because they too provided books to hinder my occupation of laps, and additionally another ring (why do humans insist on chilly adornments that catch on sacred fur?), and a sign that warns of the danger of Household Goddesses (outside) when there is no sign warning of me. "Beware of the chickens", hah! "Beware of Small White Cat", more like!
Thank you for giving SFA the continuing pleasure of flapping around a convention secretly broadcasting her LiveJournal identity solely by her choice of earrings when she ought to be wearing some mark of her devotion to me. (Although I imagine that, as ever, she managed to spread a certain amount of my holy white fluff around the venue, as is right and proper.) Also for allowing SFA to amuse herself by knitting at the back of the talk on knots, which she found very funny. If she didn't attend any of the bondage workshops it is surely a sign of how firmly she is tethered to me.
And then there's so many other "distractions" from my worship for which you must be congratulated: real ale without end, fine conversation, good buffet,...
And finally, my warmest thanks of all for returning SFA and JFA to me sufficiently charged up with static electricity to cause sparks to jump not only from my nose, ear-tips and tail-tip, but also from the backs of my hind legs. No deity should be treated in this way, especially when SFA claims to have endured fewer shocks this time than on her last visit to the site.
Now, please don't do it again.
Yours cattily,
Household Goddess (feline) (thoroughly endorsed by Household Goddesses (galliform), Household Devil, and Fish (assorted))
