Here I Am

Happy Birthday gray_light!!!!

I hope you have a fabulous day and are properly spoiled, darling!

Happy Supernatural Day, everyone! Finally, we have some new Sam and Dean. I'm completely unspoiled (because that's how I roll) and so looking forward to seeing how things unfold. I miss my show. I was rewatching some of the season three episodes and I just miss the boys. Other fandoms come along and are shiny and pull me in (ie Michael Phelps/Ryan Lochte slash), but Sam & Dean always own my heart. It's a sickness, I know.

**

The only shows I'm currently caught up on are: 90210, Gossip Girl, and Entourage. Everything else I have sitting on my dvr to watch at some point. I really need to sit down and watch some television, but then I feel guilty because there is still so much to do around the new house.

Let's start with happiest birthday wishes to lostt1, jenadamson, and mkitty3! Each of you is a wonderful person and I'm so glad to have gotten to know you through livejournal. I hope your days are fabulous and full of pampering. I was going to mail Jared Padalecki to y'all, but I got distracted...er...

Yesterday was basically a waste of a day for me. I have so much I need to get done before we move into the house at the end of the August. Alas, I woke up with the sinus headache of doom. I used my neti pot like three times, sat with a warm compress over my eyes, and then slept all but about five hours of my day away. Yeah, I accomplished a lot.

Today has been better. I have a slight residual headache, but nothing I can't work through. So I've gotten some laundry done, did the dishes, and started going through my clothes. I'm a fiend, my friends. I buy so many things and still wear about like 1/4 of my entire wardrobe. But this simplifying thing is really hard. I keep coming up with excuses to keep everything. "I could need this!" or "If I lose 10lbs this will fit again!" And I am trying to lose weight again - back on the Weight Watchers cult express - but it seems silly to keep tons of clothes.

**

There is not nearly enough good fic centered around Edmund and Lucy from Chronicles of Narnia and they are my two favorite characters from the books. Tons of Peter and Susan fic, but where is the Edmund and Lucy stuff?

My sister finished with Stephenie Meyer's new book, Host, so I'm hoping to get to that some time this week. I'm so behind on my reading. I'm currently reading Scahill's book on Blackwater and while it's interesting (and quite horrifying), it's a rather dry read. So I keep coming up with excuses to stop reading.

**

Hopefully this week goes fast at work. I have to train a new temp again. We have a Board meeting. And it's a short week. Please go fast. Please.

And then it's a long weekend. On Friday I'm supposed to go to the shore, but it's going to be so crowded. I might just opt for a movie with the boy and friends, if I can convince them that sailing is dumb (not likely). And then Saturday, I'm meeting up with benitle to go to one of my favorite places, the Constitution Center. And then on Sunday I'll be saying, "Where did my weekend go?" Such is the cycle.

Happy Birthday kalena_henden!!!

I hope you have a fabulous day!

I tivo'd Transformers over the weekend when it was on Cinemax. I own the dvd, but still recorded it like the lunatic I am. I love that movie. It's awesome. And they are filming the second one here in Philadelphia and there is a chance (right now very small) that I might be able to get on the set thanks to my volunteer work with the film office.

But let's just focus on the movie. Sam is so adorable. And it has Josh Duhamel all scruffy. And then there is Bumblebee! And Optimus Prime!!!

Good stuff.

Is there any good fanfiction? Anyone want to point me in some direction?

**

Speaking of recs, I really need to catch up on a lot of my reading before Steph and anyone who likes polyfandomrecs kills me. I have a few recs saved, but since my battle with pneumonia, I haven't really read/written/recced anything. I have tons of stuff bookmarked, but just haven't had time to go back and/or felt like it.

I hope this fandom ennui passes. There is no real reason for it on my part. I have the most awesome friends list that enables me to avoid almost all the wanking and drama. I'm surrounded by brilliant and creative people...I think I'm just slightly burnt out for no real reason (which might be why I haven't watched SPN yet).

**

Once again, I shall pimp oldschoolfic. Lots of fandoms that deserve some love. Come play. Or pass the info onto those who want to play!

Stupid mondays. Stupid rainy mondays. The good thing about the rain is that hopefully it will wash away some of the pollen currently trying to kill me. I really don't want to die because of horny plants. It just seems to ridiculous.

**

Dearest shay_renoylds: Since your birthday is fast approaching, please give me a prompt for Supernatural or Heroes of a ficlet. Considering this is me, realize it will be late, but that doesn't mean I don't love you.

**

I feel so out of touch with fandom lately and that makes me both sad and sorta okay. Sad because I have the coolest people on my friends list, the most awesome parts of fandom, and I miss y'all so very much. On the otherhand, I don't mind missing out on tons of wank.

So, back to the missing out on fandom things...everyone recommend me something wonderful and fandomy (I just made a word!) and I shall go check it out and then pimp it/rec it/feedback it. Life is finally (::knocks on wood::) slowing down a bit for me.

Happy Birthday thinfeawen!!!

I hope you have a fabulous day!

Attention Chuck Fans!

misspamela is running the Write More: The Chuck Fic Challenge. So go leave prompts and write Chuck fic! Because the world needs more of it. Especially Chuck/Bryce and Ellie/Captain Awesome.

Speaking of, I really am going to finish my Ellie/Captain Awesome first date fic sometime soon. Instead, I ended up writing a Veronica Mars/Chuck crossover story.

Me + Crossovers = OTP

**

I still have a four days open for my holiday drabble-a-day offer. And if you're on my friends list and you really want one even after it's filled, I'll double up. So come up with some prompts for me, my friends. This is my holiday gift to all of you. Because I love you all like whoa.

Happy Birthday jellicle!!!

I hope that it's been a fabulous day, darling. If you'd like a b-day ficlet, just leave me a prompt and such. I run a smidge late on those, but it will eventually come.

**

New Chuck and Heroes soon! My sister and I wait until 8:40 so we can watch both without commercials and still finish around the same time as if we watched it live. Good times.

I really hope that Chuck gets picked up for next year. I love it so.

**

Now I'm off to attempt to get my 500 words done as I didn't have a chance at work.

Happy Birthday ignipes!!!

I hope you have a fabulous day, darling! I'll try to send the Winchester brothers your way to play with, but Sam is very hard to fit in the box.

If you'd like a drabble/ficlet, let me know. I run way behind on them, but it will get done eventually!

**

Happy Supernatural Day to everyone else! My days are never bad when I get new Sam and Dean!

**

I did not make my mini_nanowrimo goal of 500 words yesterday. Work was busy and my head was killing me all day, so after work, I ran to pick up sinus meds and then went to bed very early. Only woke up to eat something and then back to bed. Feeling better today, so hopefully I can make up yesterday's word count, but I'm feeling like a slacker now.

But I'm also very intrigued by some of the prompts you guys made yesterday! It's not too late to come up with one if y'all want. Just sign up here.

First...

Happy Birthday quarterturn!!!

I hope you have a fabulous day, darling!

Second...

Based on the poll I did last week, there was interest in a Sports Night Holiday Exchange. So sign-ups begin today over at sn_holidays! Please pimp this out to your Sports Night pals! And let me know of any questions, concerns, etc. The due dates and what would be offered were based on the poll majority.

Third...

Work is crazy. I hate when work is crazy. Busy is fine, but crazy is stressful.

**

Fourth...

Had weird dreams last night where I was the lead in the musical version of the Colbert Report. And Stephen and I were doing this huge dance number about republicans. Just very, very bizarre.

**

Fifth...

winchestercon is less than two weeks away! I get to hang out with really cool people I want to meet, especially iamtheenemy! There is no one I would rather share my first con experience with than Steph and my lovely SPN Fandom Peeps!

But, for those who cannot make winchestercon, be sure to check out win_non_con. deirdre_c was a great help with it last year and this year, she is taking over! It's sure to be good times, so be sure to check that community out!

Happy Birthday hurrigirl!!!

I hope you have a fabulous day!

My goal for this afternoon/evening is to finish up my supernatural crossover fic so it can get beta'd and posted. It needs to be done so I can focus on several other bunnies/stories poking at my brain.

And I haven't forgotten birthday ficlets. This story has just taken over everything when it comes to writing. If I even think about working on something else, my brain whispers, "But you must finish crossover of doom!" And I'm honestly finding that anything else I undertake lately suffers the same problem as this current story - it's really bloody long.

Where has my short muse gone? I think I need to find a community like 15 minute ficlets or something to get back into the habit. But of course, that needs to wait until this story is done.

I do not understand people who don't appreciate Supernatural. I mean, to each his own, but I feel like they are missing out on something by not enjoying it. And I know that makes me weird and a tad bit obsessed (just a tad?), but it's true. I try to get them to watch. I say hot boys, brothers who love each other, banter, hot boys, good stuff...they just don't seem moved.

It's one of the many reasons I love fandom and my friends list. It's a place to find other souls just like me, who get that Supernatural is good stuff and appreciate Sam and Dean.

::stares at mood icon:: Seriously, Jared's smile just makes me happy. I can be having a crappy day and I see his smile I just have to smile too. So adorable.

First, to someone who shares my birthday and is therefore AWESOMESAUCE...

Happy Birthday itsaslashything!!!

I hope you are being spoiled and pampered and completely loved.

I have survived my birthday long weekend 'o fun. I'm not sure I'll ever get caught up on the friends list, but I read four books over the past six days and watched some movies and hung out with friends and revived my mad love for Kevin Smith (speaking of dexterette: I think I convinced my best bud to drive up to Red Bank with me for the Kevin Smith thing!)

Then Gonzales resigned yesterday and that was a great addition to my birthday fun (though it did lead to fighting with the crazy Republican mother)...and today I was able to pick up Heroes and Friday Night Lights on dvd.

Good times.

And so what if I'm another year old? According to vinylroad I sound twelve on the phone and when I was at Target with the mother, the cashier asked if she was taking me shopping for back-to-school stuff! Woo-hoo! Sure, I'm eighteen. UH-huh.

Anyway, thank you for the virtual gifts and the birthday wishes! I love y'all!

Finally, I've had a good few days, so I want to share the good mood and happiness. So...

Pick a number between 1 and 2317 and I shall upload that song for you. Let me know if you can't play Itunes compatible though. Once I'm done I'll upload all the music as a mix!
