After reviewing the Highly Scientific Con Crud Hugging Poll, I have come to the following conclusions:

1. Paul McGillion is a natural healer.

2. One of Paul's Healing Hugs can be negated by hugging another actor.

3. Firefly is not a fandom for Healing Hugs.

4. Chris Judge does not have the Healing Hug gift.

5. If you get too many hugs, you get swimmer's ear.

I swear, all of that makes perfect sense if you review the poll and read the comments.

I'd just like to say this really incredible thing about Dragon*Con.

I didn't get sick.

This is the first time in at least 3 years that I haven't gotten sick either before or after Dracon*Con. But dragonbetween, skroberts, and peacelovefandom are sick. (Is anyone else sick? ETA: apparently amazonsun and jedimara77, the rumors of scifigirl's illness were highly exaggerated.) And I'm not. There were sick people around me, increasing the likelihood of me getting sick and yet I am still perfectly healthy, sitting here not sniffling and not coughing.

HA HA! TAKE THAT CON CRUD!

Apparently getting only 5 hours of sleep most nights worked for me this year.

Or it was the Shanks Hug. I've heard that dragonbetween didn't hug anyone, so we're wondering if hugging celebrities has something to do with it. That sounds like the subject of a poll, doesn't it?

If anyone is wondering, this is the most highly scientific poll ever.
