Hi. Welcome to the madness.
Friend me if you want. You don't have to ask!
Everyone is welcome here. Due to the craziness of my life and time limits, I'm really not friending people back right now.
All my fic and fandom related posts will always be unlocked.
If you are looking for any of my fic you will find them here. |

[Nov. 20th, 2009|12:58 am] |
One day I will be articulate enough to make the post about how I really don't think Supernatural is misogynistic, or at least, it's not misogynistic in the way that a lot of people think it is, but only in the way that the whole world is misogynistic. Today, however, is not that day especially judging by the fact that I'm pretty sure that last sentence made no sense.
I will say that to me this week's Glee was way more misogynistic then Supernatural ever was, is, or will be. And if it wasn't for Kurt, I would never watch that show again.

1. Someone please explain the various Star Trek DVDs to me. There were like 4 different versions in the store and it looked like the 2 disc version cost more then the 3 disc version and it was all very confusing so I ran away.
2. I have an AO3 account (thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) dodificus) and I am going to start using it as a backup to my lj for my stories though I think it is probably going to take me a very long time to get everything loaded over there for I am easily distracted by shiny things.
3. Last night'a Big Bang Theory made me so happy. I wish the whole show was just Penny and Sheldon being insanely adorable together with occasional appearances by Raj. And I really enjoy the fact that the Penny and Sheldon relationship is truly unique. They're no quite friends, they're not quite family, it's not romantic or sexual, they just are. It's just so much fun to watch.
4. Last week's White Collar made me happy too which is good because the second and third episode kind of worried me. I still really miss Diana and I would like June to come back and I don't actually care about the cases, but I was really, really enjoying anything with Peter, Neal, Elizabeth, and Mozzie. Mozzie needs to meet Elizabeth and then the four of them need to form a rockband of awesomeness or something.
Oh wait...
There needs to be a White Collar highschool AU where Peter is the perfect student and Neal is that annoying kid who gets straight As and never studies and then they get assigned to a project together and Peter is all "we must work!" and Neal is all "I must corrupt you! And also get you better clothes. You're 16. Does your mommy still dress you?" And Peter is all, "You're an asshole. And you sound just like my girlfriend." And Neal is all, "Really? Can I meet her?"
5. I am massively freaking out about grad school stuff and life stuff, but I am just telling myself over and over again that everything will work out and that if I tell myself that enough times it will be true. |

| Misha |
[Nov. 15th, 2009|10:58 am] |
Okay, since she posted about it, I now feel okay with explaining Misha's party foul. Or you know, just linking to it because I am lazy.
For reference, my reaction to it went like this:
1. Oh my god! I can't believe he's doing this!
2. Oh my god! I feel so bad for that poor girl!
3. Oh my god! Misha is kind of an asshole!
4. Oh my god! Wait! I think Misha actually feels kind of bad! Wow.
5. But now, knowing that it has been resolved with milkshakes, I can go back to feeling warm and fuzzy about Misha and feeling like the world would be a much better and sillier place if he was in charge.
And if you are my yuletide person, a letter is coming soon. PROMISE! |

I want to say something about seeing Misha and Jim Beaver (and also bonus actor who is prophet Chuck) but Misha totally and completely fried my brain. The man is fucking out of his mind.
I lost my words. I have no words. Words are gone.
To be fair, my day started with waking up at 2 in the morning for some unknown reason and then I spent all morning taking this stupid standarized test that I need if I want to be a school social worker. And I basically forgot to eat all day. And then when I met my friend she told me that as a late birthday present she got me a photo op with Misha which was very sweet of her, but then I spent the whole time at the panels freaking out about the photo op and how awkward I find them and that I just had my hair pulled back in a ponytail because it was still wet from showering in the morning. And then there was Jim Beaver who was awesome and amazing and just seems like a fabulous person, but I can't remember a single damn thing he said because Misha fried my brain. And Misha interrupted Jim's panel to yell at him for not wearing a tie. And then there was Misha. DID I MENTION HE IS FUCKING OUT OF HIS MIND? There was something with him and the Prophet Chuck actor about underwear of Misha's that ended up in Chuck's trailer and they had a fight about it on stage and Misha called him a Fuck Nut. And we basically had fandom therapy because Misha asksed the audience about how you become a fan. And he mentioned cross dressing as a child. And how he and Jensen have growly voice competitions. And he came about as close as possible as it is to admitting he reads fanfic. And he skirted and possibly crossed the line into committing the biggest fandom party foul ever. And he backed off, but seriously HOLY FUCKING SHIT MISHA! And there is so much more and I have an audio of most of the panel and I will try to upload at some point though I am pretty sure much better recordings and pictues will surface.
And then I was so scared to get the picture and when I got in the room, I couldn't really even look at him until the last second, but he is ridiculously hot. Like I've always loved him more because I thought he was awesome and funny and I love Castiel then because I found him to be all that physically attractive , but WOW. He is inhumanly gorgeous. And he said something to me and I'm pretty sure it was very clever, but hell if I know what it was. And when I see this picture I am pretty sure I am going to have a deer caught in the headlights look going on.
And... um... if any of this makes any sense at all it will be a miricle.
And also, MISHA WON INAPPROPRIATE QUESTION BINGO. Though I guess in his case it as INAPPROPRIATE STATEMENT BINGO. There was one point where I turned to my friend and was like "He just filled three entire cards on his own."
So in conclusion, PLEASE MARRY ME MISHA! AND ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER TO THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, BABY.
EDITED TO ADD - I AM INSANE AND VERY TIRED. NOT CHUCK ACTOR, TRICKSTER ACTOR WITH THE UNDERWEAR. I KNEW THAT SOUNDED WRONG.
ALSO I FEEL THAT WHEN I COME BACK AND LOOK AT THIS POST TOMORROW I AM GOING TO BE HORRIFIED BY MY GRAMMAR, USE OF CAPSLOCK, AND ABILITY TO CONVEY ANY SORT OF POINT OR UNDERSTANDING OF JUST WHAT IT'S LIKE TO ATTEND A MISHA PANEL.
THIS IS YOUR BRAIN. THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON MISHA. |

I apologize for being spammy today, but apparently they have decided to spread rumors at work that I am pregnant. At a sane, professional workplace this would be so not cool and grounds for sexual harrassment. At my work place, it's just kind of hilarious. Apparently I got a little over excited about the birth of an alpaca, got drunk, and had sex with a guy whose name I am refusing to disclose.
Congratulate me! I'm having an imaginary bastard child!
Also, someone has a pencil sharpener that lights up when your pencil is sharpened. It's the most magical, awesome thing I've ever seen.
This is one of the advantages of working from home. When I do come in it's like going to the circus.
And score! I just got 71 cents and Dueling Banjo Hamsters to help provide for the baby (which I am selling on the black market). And if I can doctor a sonnogram to vaguely look like mine, I've been promised more presents. Anyone have a sonnogram they want to send me? |

finitejester37is writing me a Sheldon Cooper/Orlando Bloom story over here because she is just THAT awesome.
And I have decided that when I'm at the con tomorrow (I'm going to the Jim Beaver and Misha Collins panels) that I am going to play Inappropriate Question Bingo, so that this way if people ask inappropriate questions I will feel a sense of accomplishment along with my extreme embarrassment.
So please help me come up with inappropriate question catergories for the squares. |

[Nov. 13th, 2009|04:13 am] |
Some general television thoughts.
1. Better of Ted is starting again soon. YAY!!!!!!!!!
2. After being vaguely obsessed with Big Bang Theory for a few weeks, I have concluded that it's honestly not a very good show most of the time, but Jim Parsons is a comic god and should be worshipped as such. And honestly, I only really love the show when it's the Sheldon and Penny show, the rest of it I could do without.
3. I am finding V entertaining though mostly for the hot priest and Morena who is kicking ass. I am also enjoying Elizabeth Mitchell way more than I ever did on Lost. I still don't get the hype about her, but I think she's doing a pretty good job.
4. I enjoyed Glee this week. I really hope Chris Colfer becomes a huge star because that kid is amazing. I honestly think there is no point in analysing the show because the writers seem to change their minds as they go along. And I also thing there is a huge range of acting talent on the show and some people are doing a way better job at selling their characters then others. Like I think Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison are really not that good (Lea especially seems to have gone to the John Barrowman school of television acting) and that layers that are supposed to be there for those characters are not appearing as they should. But, whatever, I watch for Kurt, Sue, Puck, and Quinn.
5. ( Supernatural )
6. And also, Community is love. It's truly an ensemble show and everyone works amazingly well with everyone else. I love that I can tell you exactly how every single character feels about every other character. That shouldn't be a rare thing on television, but it kind of is. |

1. Thanks so much for all the congratulations and support on my graduate school/canada is driving me crazy post. You all are awesome and your support means so much to me.
2. I went to my school orientation thingy today and I am officially insanely overwhelmed and I have a whole lot to get done in the next week. I kind of thought I could ease slowly back into school, but the way the program is set up, it really doesn't make much sense for me to ease in slowly, so I think I might end up with a full course load + field work in the Spring. Yikes! The good news is that I think I can get some transfer credit for previous course work which will save me money and time. The bad news is that if I want to be a school social worker, I pretty much need to decide right now because it effects how I do my field work and because I am starting in the spring, it already means that the program will take me 2 1/2 years instead of 2 years.
3. I still need to figure out Canada. The good news on that is that once I have my student ID and class registration, proof of residencey in the US will be super easy and I shouldn't have too much of a problem getting in (seriously the next time I try to cross I am bringing insane amounts of paperwork). The bad news is that I don't know when I'm going to have time to go. The logistics of it all makes me want to cry.
4. My job is ending at the end of December... I think. Which will mean that I am actually leaving my job 2 years after quitting. That makes me laugh. It takes a truly talented person to fail at quitting. Or something.
5. I have thoughts on television, but I'm going to wait until after I see this week's Supernatural and make a big television post.
6. I feel like I haven't written anything in forever and that makes me sad. |

I have Firefox issues. We are trying to work through them. I say Firefox is too unstable. Firefox says I need to give him another chance. I say I've tried, but the trust is gone. Firefox says Google Chrome is a cheap whore and won't satisfy me. I say I already gave up on Chrome and went back to Internet Explorer. Firefox says "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I say, "What? IE is like the comfort food of browsers." Firefox says, "You're weak. Why must you give into the man." And I say, "Aren't you the man too?" and Firefox says, "I'm a browser, you dumb ass, what the hell is wrong with you?" And I say, "Do you want the abbreviated list or the epic poem?"
Um...
The point being that I don't have Firefox and if I decided to do yuletide can someone please sign up for me. |

So I am going to the Supernatural convention this weekend (just for one day, and just to see Misha). Considering what episode is airing on Thursday and considering that Jensen just got engaged, I feel that this is the most appropriate time ever to use the following phrase:
I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so, I'm so... scared! |

Ultimate good news/bad news
Bad news - I tried to sort out my border issues today and failed. Canada still hates me and won't let me in and I drove to and from Detroit (ew!) for no reason.
Good news - I GOT INTO THE GRAD SCHOOL PROGRAM I WANTED!!!!!!!!! I saw the e-mail on my way to Detroit which made dealing with the insane mess at the border so much easier.
And I start in January. And I am very, very excited.
I think I am actually more excited about the grad school news then I am annoyed about the border stuff. I've become very zen about that. It will get resolved eventually and I'm just not going to let it totally stress me out.
YAY GRAD SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!! I know I am ready to be back in school because I was fantasizing about school supplies on the way back from Detroit. |

I had all sorts of emo stuff to talk about mostly relating to how very, very stressed I am now and also how my doctor basically told me this week that I'm crazy, but instead I am going to talk about Supernatural.
Actually first I am going to bitch about there being no abed/troy tag at the end of this week's Community. That is not acceptable.
But now ( supernatural ) |

I'm on call tonight and don't feel like doing anything of the things that I should be doing, so please, please rec me fic.
I'll just be over here in my corner writing Men Who Stares at Goats fics and writing essays about how George Cloony's character is very obviously supposed to be gay. |

| Goats! |
[Nov. 3rd, 2009|09:08 pm] |
So I got to see an early screening of The Men Who Stare at Goats and...
Dear Fandom:
GO SEE THIS MOVIE THIS WEEKEND. It is all about Ewan McGregor's wife leaving him, and then he runs away to Kuwait where he tries to pick up George Clooney in a bar and then he follows him all around Iraq like a lovesick puppy dog. I AM NOT LYING! And there is also stuff with the military training jedi warriors. And hilarity. So much hilarity. And goats. Adorable, adorable goats. And really bad hair.
Dear Generation Kill fandom:
GO SEE THIS MOVIE. It's like Generation Kill on a whole lot of LSD. Okay, not really. I just want GK/Man Who Stare at Goats crossovers. Please?
Can you tell I really loved this movie?
Edited to add - Some genius had the awesome foresight to request this movie for Yuletide. Whoever you are, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! |

1. YAY SOUTHLAND!!!!!!!!!!! I love you, TNT!!! You gave me Hardison. And now you are giving me back Cooper. You are the best!
2. James Ransome is going to be on a new HBO show. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
3. I'm going to try and update the White Collar prompt post tonight. There's been a few more stories and prompts posted.
4. Crack idea of the day: Supernatural/GK crossover where Ray is the back up prophet in case the current prophet of the lord cannot fulfil his propheting duties. And he's writes a letter to god trying to get excused from the apocolypse. It involves an explanation to god that Ray is "a mother fucking Marine and so therefore can't fight in god's pussy little war."
5. I am way, way behind in fic reading, especially GK fic reading, and it is making sad.
6. I am kind of in a generally cranky fandom place right now and that is also making me sad.
7. Back on the subject of things that are awesome: crinklysolution made a podfic for Spilt Milk. You can find it here.
8. This made me laugh. A lot. Poor Iron Man. |

1. My grad school application is submitted and I should hear from them in two weeks. Cue excessive amounts of stress.
( 2 and 3: Very vague spoilers for last night's Supernatural and Flashforward )
4. And here is the link to the Abed/Troy stuff from last night's Community. The Abed/Troy stuff doesn't start until 1:40, but the whole thing is hilarious. You can skip the stuff right at the beginning with Joel McHale and Chevy Chase... though Joel in the Cowboy outfit is hot and what he says to Chevy is actually pretty awesome.
And okay, here is the best way for me to describe Abed/Troy, it's like if someone made a meme where you had to choose a pairing that best represented someone's soul, for me, that pairing would be Abed/Troy because honestly, all I really want out of life is to have someone to hang out with and talk in silly voices and discuss what we would do if we were ever turned into donuts. |

| Community |
[Oct. 29th, 2009|11:41 pm] |
Okay, seriously, fuck every pairing I have ever liked ever, the OTP of my cracked out little heart is Abed/Troy from Community. I laughed so hard at the tag of this week's episode that I honestly think I scared my neighbors.
Once it shows up on youtube, I will link because oh my fucking god they are out of their minds and awesome. |

| I fail at being a grown up |
[Oct. 28th, 2009|03:57 pm] |
Okay, so I just permenantly lostany grown up points I have ever had because I just e-mailed by friend to find out when we are going to the Supernatural Con (or as I call it, that thing where we are going to see Misha) and then when I found out the date, I wrote down: MISHA :) on my calendar. I am so professional and grown up. Really. At least, I didn't put little hearts next to his name though now that I am thinking of it, I might have to back and change it.
Also, has Dean ever actually referred to Sam's face as a bitch face on the show?
Also, also, please tell me I am not crazy for finding Jim Parsons insanely hot? I had a picture as proof, but then I accidentally closed the window and I can't find it anymore. But seriously, the man is hot. I saw someone refer to him as the least attractive member of the Big Bang Theory cast and I wanted to weep for humanity that someone could be that stupid as to think that.
( I found the picture :) ) |
