so i've always brought the lame when it comes to my birthdays and not doing something, but today i think takes the cake (ahahah cake) since i didnt wake up until FOUR and am not still dressed and im spending it reading awesomely long bigbang fics.

OH WELL. i may be lame but i get to bask in my long fic love. seriously, 90,000 word long fics make me HAPPY!

in other news i am awaiting SGAs premiere anxiously and trying to decide where i want to go on the six days i have off starting july 12. SOMEONE TELL MEEEEEE.

so ive been mainlining greys anatomy and im trying to decide if i actually like the show or if im watching it because its like a car wreck....*ponders*

*hums birthday song to self*

i miss the days when i posted every day. those were days when i was happier.

Okay so, It's been a couple of weeks since No Rest For the Wicked....but I've just been looking at some spoilers (which I'm kind of not happy I looked at...*makesface*) and it just made me want to chatter on about SPN and the boys for a minute....( ..(spoilers for the finale and possibly season 4. )

And I'll stop rambling now. :D

So since I watched the Bones finale, (which my MOTHER of all people spoiled for me) I've been re-watching the past episodes, especially the Gormogon episodes from S3 and all of S2. And I've just been mulling...

( spoilers for bones 03x15..... )

*pouts* i just had to get that out.

ok if this actually gets answered it will be a miracle since my flist keeps shrinking and I'm doing a lovely impression of being a hermit.

ANWAYZ.

Does ANYONE out there in the known universe know why the Hex code for white (#FFFFFF) is not WORKING in my profile in IE but IS working in my profile for Firefox? So basically if youre using Firefox and look at my info all you see are the headers and black text, in IE it's all boxed in in blue. Very ugly.

It's been driving me crazy for about two years and I want to FIX IT.

im not sure i should be allowed to go to my friends places anymore! every time i come home i end up with a new teevee show i have to watch and download and generally get obsessed with!

this time i was at erins and the tv is Queer as Folk. (erin you are EVIL!) like it lots, mainlining her dvds, gotta say i adore michael and justin. and ben. brian i like but would also like to HIT him. often.

but other than that i never want to LEAVE when i visit. California is way nicer than new york. at least in the early spring.

le sigh. i cant wait for the days of no more snow. and the two whole days of spring weather we'll get before the humidity kicks in!

ah, upstate ny.

so erin was awesome and the roommate cooked us food and the winchester mystery house was so fun and the cable cars were awesome! i want to be on permanent vacation!

suppose i should start my taxes now. argh.

detective bachman. detective turner.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. now sam is getting into it.

HEARTH.

so there's this stalker/admirer meme going down at lindsay's journal. and while im much more the stalker than the stalkee, i thought i'd give it a whirl.

stalk me baby!

okay, so Wincon 2007 was SO amazing omg. I had such a good time. I saw lots of awesome peeps I knew and met even more awesome fangirls, and OH YES it was so good.

but this is not about that. this is about the meme that poisontaster did and that I'm now doing.

and this is mainly because I am AT HER APARTMENT. \o/ we drove down yesterday from LA after the con and it was SO awesome and I suck at using synonyms, so yes, MADE OF AWESOME. *clings to her*

so, the meme thing.

( Comment on this post. I'll choose seven userpics from your profile and you'll reply here (or you know, your own journal, whichever), explaining what they mean and why you're using them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along. )

OMG that took FOREVER. seriously, but I think it was worth it.

okay, now, your turn! *eyes flist*

So its come to my attention that I've once again dropped off the proverbial LJ radar.

What's UP with that? Something about hiatus that turns me into a lurker, mayhap. Or else I'm just LAME.

But anyway, I'm here! *waves*

Just you know, anxiously waiting for all my shows to being since I have no life and am a sucktastic friend.

( listings, for mine own benefit. )

And now I'll disappear again. :) I'll try for a more in depth post later (as in within this week!) when my nose is less cold and you know, when it's not 3am. Since I should be sleeping. Why do I always feel the need to post late on Sunday? Or really, Monday morning?
.....I don't miss college work but gods do I miss college hours.

its done. its done and i cant believe it and my head is in a fog and im sure no one will be able to get me to listen to anything for the next MONTH at least.

its been such a PART of me, its as if ive lost a really good friend. not just a book.

*sniffles*

god but what it was brilliant.

i. i dont even know what to SAY. someone come and talk to me. PLEASE.

wow so its been almost a WHOLE month since i last posted. i blame that almost EXCLUSIVELY on mona1347. seriously. while i was visiting her we went to Best Buy so i could buy the Sims 2: Seasons (JARED HAS HIS OWN GARDENS!) and while we were there she bought SGA season 1 cuz she didnt have a hard copy of it and she had me watch the first 13 episodes and it ATE. MY. BRAIN.

no lie, i came home and downloaded EVERY other episode and then i pestered my darling poisontaster until she mailed me her copies so i could burn them and now i am REWATCHING the first two seasons as i burn. my love for rodney cannot be quantified and i adore mcshep, oh i do i do.

so i have been mainlining SGA fic and episodes every DAY since i got back from DC and i havent read anything in SPN in that time and its been a MONTH and i feel like my world has turned UPSIDE DOWN AND SIDEWAYS.

if you have any SGA recs you'd like to share, now would be the time.

my birthday is in seven days and then i will be legal for everything everywhere except of course renting a car because for some reason that requires more maturity than say, going to war. im not sure WHY but hey, its the rules.

work is CRAZYCAKES, mostly because one of the phone people had knee surgery and was supposed to be out for three days and instead we're coming up on three weeks and what with preexisting shortages of people elsewhere lets just say that the boss is spread thin. also, the erin that i work with got a different job in the practice, scribing for one of the O.D.'s so they hired the girl who had been my temp while erin was out on maternity leave. i would be ecstatic about this if not for the fact that there were TWO scribe jobs open and i applied for the other and i am so sick of medical records i could vomit. but since we're short so many people i cant shadow to move along the application process so i dont know if i have the job and nothing is moving and its all very stagnant feeling. urgh. they hired a new tech and her name is nicole and she is YOUNGER than me (by 4 months) which is awesome because im not the BABY anymore and my one year anniversary is on tuesday which is a very weird feeling. also nicole is a harry potter freak like me and we get along swimmingly so i hope i get the scribe job cuz then i will be in the back and we can hang out more. its nice to have someone my AGE there.

so because this is the first post ive made after being sucked into SGA i had to use an icon for that fandom, but lets pretend i used this one
(icon credit on my userpic page)
because thats really what this post IS and also hello, i love sorkin quotes.

omg SPEAKING OF. i weep knowing that somewhere in the world this past month jensen ackles acted sorkin writing and i did not get to see it. it MAKES ME WEEP YES.

okay so if ANYONE out there knows when the next season of SGA starts i will LOVE YOU FOREVER and also, if it happens to be sooner than say, september, i will HAVE YOUR BABIES.

....well possibly. ;D

and i would end this post asking for people to let me know whats been going on in the SPN fandom but i asked my closest PALS and they ignored my request so i think its safe to assume my flist will as well. though if you DO have something to say i would be glad to hear it!

so it is SUMMER and i am pale and my hair is red (...i dont think i mentioned that, its actually been red long enough i need to get it redone) and i will soon be 21 and sga ate my brain. yeah i think that covers it.

*beams*

I HAVE A MONA!!!

or well i am here and she has me! i drove randomly down to DC to visit. it was very spur of the moment. and nilchance and beanside were here yesterday and we watched Dark Angel and the slashy episode of Torchwood and we went out to an awesome dinner and it was FUN. weee. sadly mona is sick, so we are vegging out, which does work well for me cuz then i get a mona and a restful little vacation. and we can make her boy do things for us. :D

i misssssss supernaturalllllll. waah. is it september yet?

( end of volume one. )

spoilers for heroes finale, obviously

omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg.

TONIGHT.

omg.

SO NERVOUSEXCITEDSPASTIC.

*vibrates*

every fucking time i think this show cant hurt me anymore than it already has, wont own me anymore than it already does, i get BRUTALLY proven otherwise.

i mean. GOD.

how are we supposed to concentrate on ANYTHING FOR THE NEXT WEEK?

oh BOYS.

*weeps*

okay people! the most awesome keepaofthecheez has created a celebration comm for this most auspicious day. what day is that, you ask?

why its SAMMY WINCHESTERS BIRTHDAY!

thats RIGHT people, today sam turns 24, and that means the WHOLE fandom needs to PARTAY! which is exactly why lindsay created sam_a_palooza. a birthday comm for all your sam winchester needs!

fics, icons, vids posts about WHY you love him so much. if it has something to do about sam, and you want to post it, then GO FOR IT! if you made/wrote it today, or last YEAR it doesnt matter!

we just want to celebrate sam and how much we love him!

i made the userinfo graphic, i believe the talented lostt1 did the comm layout, and keepaofthecheez of course was the brains!!!!!

so go join, and hang out and post about sammy! because we know he's SO SO WORTH THE TIME!

come on, you know dean would want you to! after all, who loves sammy more than his big brother???

if you have any questions at all, go ahead and leave a comment here. the only rule really IS that sam is the focus, but hey if you're not sure, ASK AWAY!!!

::sam_a_palooza::sam_a_palooza::sam_a_palooza::sam_a_palooza::sam_a_palooza::

*flails like an extremely flaily flailing THING*

homg. HEROES. *draws huge gigantic radioactive hearts*

i need new icons. I NEED NEW PETER ICONS. and i dont even LIKE milo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

saturdays should be awesome because i dont have to WORK. i can sit around and do absolutely nothing if i want.

but on lj, saturdays SUCK because no one is ever around, the whole place is dead. everyone else is out DOING things and shit.

whats up what THAT? you'd think at least on HERE there would be more people who have no lives, like ME.

*pouts*

this pointless post brought to you by BOREDOM.

so if you've missed poisontaster's recent posting of The Killing Moon, you've been missing some groundbreaking stuff. seriously. this is PT somehow managing to make mpreg both serious and addicting. she's actually kind of crazy that way. s'part of why i love her.

the comments for these ficbits consist, for the most part, of things such as: "i NEVER read mpreg but for YOU..." or " i cant BELIEVE im reading this" etc...

and we were chatting tonight and for some reason i searched through my gmail account and came up with a couple of convos with her from last year concerning mpreg.

and it made me GIGGLE and teehhee and it made her go *facepalm* and say, omg you should POST IT.

( so i am. )

i wanted to say something, but i am lazy, so this is just basically what i said to maygra because ( it sums it up nicely. )

spoilers for this ep obviously and a teeny bit for the next. if youve seen the pictures then you're probably fine. ;)

i had the awesomest dinner. philly steak, mushrooms and swiss cheese on subrolls. me and my mom made it. SO YUMMY.

HAPPY EASTER you guys! i hope everyone had a nice day.

on thursday, winterlive gave me an 'S' in the ( alphabet meme. )

so im thinking about getting a new car, and if i DO this looks to be the one im gonna get. its a 2005 chevy cavalier with 30000 miles for just over 9thou. not too bad a deal. and its in ORANGE. and i have been WANTING this car since i bought my corsica, back in 04. *itches* ive gotta think about it though, and whether i want to work more or go back to school or work and go to school part time. depends on how i want to spend the money i have, you know?

why cant i just win the LOTTO?

new layout! i tried something different this time.

::quietdiscerning::quietdiscerning::quietdiscerning::

i kinda like it. how about you guys?

hmmm. i will need to figure out a new sticky post. or do i even need one? hmmm. must think on it. its very weird not to be using flexible squares. o.o

okay so at work on friday i was putting a jump drive in a USB port and as i leaned down, misjudged how far back i was and SLAMMED my head into the desk. that was around 845 friday morning. it still hurts. i was a bit dizzy for most of friday. so yeah, this is fun. poisontaster keeps telling me i am concussed, to which i reply yes well i cant DO anything about that, can i? ah well. ill just suffer through the pain. *looks pitiful*

*head throbs*

on wednesday i cleaned my room! and built the desk ive had sitting in here in a box since august! yaye me.

i am keeping away from ALL spoilers.

i am in denial about the Black Donnellys.

i am pissed off at all the cheating going on in the SOS poll.

i am annoyed that my mom and sister have this whole upcoming week off.

and that is the status of me. how are y'all???

So I kind of really adore the Black Donnellys and I made a bunch of icons. With um, a lot of variations. Cuz I cant HELP myself.

It's a disease. Oh well.

Enjoy!

Teasers:



( every now and again sometimes. )

so um. im kind of incredibly depressed for sam right now. and this song from the sex scene makes me TEARY.

omg the ep was so good but so SAD. *sniff*

WTF WORLD, i had my period LAST WEEK! stop with all the wishy washy water works!

I am a HORRIBLE person and I deserve to be flogged for forgetting to add this. Beta'd by my girl poisontaster. She's awesomesauce y'all!

( So it's like this, see. )

this show will be the death of me. ( im not sure i mind )

i have decided that tommy looks better in action, than in still shots. (unless he's stripping. then its all about the abs, moving or not. *points to icon* okay also maybe about the arms. maybe. guh.)

this however makes iconing less of catching the pretty, and more with catching the cool shots. which you know, fun for me either way.

though i suppose i could invest in making mini movie icons.....;D

anyWAYS. the donnelly boys have spurred my creative juices. ICONS WEEE!

HI!!! i want to talk about this show. SOMEONE COME TALK TO ME. i have KEVIN BUNNIES.

sometimes, i forget how awesome fandom is, and how much i love it. and then i REMEMBER. and then i gleefully roll around in it.

so. show of hands, who's going to WinCon? *raises both*

:D HI GUYS!

*makes icons of hotass Jensen*

i need a new layout/headers. its been a LONGASS time for me to have kept the same one (okay so its FIVE, but whatever). okay i put up the five cycling headers in JUNE PEOPLE. JUNE. thats nine whole MONTHS.

SO.

Poll #948856
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

the subject of my new layout should be:

( wherein i ramble about teh job and SIMS. NWS image behind cut )

*waves*

so its that time of year again where I go into hiding and become an even WORSE friend than usual. I mean I'm not very good at it to begin with and then you throw in this time of the year and what it seems to do to me and you can usually forget about talking to me. (Unless you try really really hard, cuz that makes me feel fuzzy and sort of talkative) This is thus of course exacerbated by my JOB (which is something new and never experienced during midwinter) and the fact that the erin I work with had her baby on the 12th and wont be back for 8 weeks leaving me with an incompetent idiot who cant remember a thing to save her life.

le sigh. but anyway I would like to apologize for going off the map without so much as a nod. it kind of hit me that i hadnt posted in well over a month when cathybites commented to my last post saying roughly the same thing as wendy had, only you know, a month apart. *makes face* SORRY!!!

its just, usually nobody seems to notice when I go into hiding, ive been doing it at this time of the year for YEARS and not many people ever comment on it, so it's never occurred to me that people might get worried or something.

so, I am HERE and I love you all! think of me as a silent partner right now. or something.

I actually just spent the past week rereading David Eddings The Belgariad and The Malloreon and am now starting on Belgarath the Sorcerer. they are AWESOMESAUCE books, and I highly recommend them to anyone who likes fantasy, especially otherworld fantasy. but yes, I've been reading them voraciously and its rather amusing to show up to work with a new 400 page book everyday and see their eyes go, O.O Hee.

AND amazingly enough I've seen 3 movies in the last month, which is UNHEARD of by me. I saw Pan's Labyrinth, Because I Said So and Breach. Awesome movies all, each in their own ways obviously. if by chance you want a more detailed opinion, you have but to ask. I also rented Little Miss Sunshine and John Tucker Must Die. AHAHA I loved them both. and I saw bits and pieces of Running With Scissors, which im told means I'm even more confused than they who've seen it all, which is quite a feat. ;)

aww WOW! I was just looking through old posts and would you believe ive been quietdiscerning for a year and 20 days! how remarkable.

but anyway, im going to try to be a little more sociable because in the end it only makes me more pissy down the line, knowing ive missed chances to talk with friends and everything.

can we stop for one minute and contemplate the absolute AWSOMENESS that july is going to be, what with my 21st birthday, HP5 in theatres and The Deathly Hollows in print??? CAN WE? suuuwwweeeeet.

so we have this break between spn episodes havent we. like 4 weeks long? only now its totally closer to 18 days cuz im behind on it. I think I remember telling poisontaster that it was about TIME for a hiatus because otherwise we'd be done by the end of march. I could of course, feel the weight of her stare from across the continent that said I was in no way SANE. ;D

i have utterly adored every single episode since Croatoan. i mean, REALLY. im not saying i didnt love all the other ones this season, because, HELLO this is ME, but they were all really excellent and entertaining and just mind blowing. Born Under a Bad Sign was so powerful and amazing that I have a hard time rewatching it. i am just BURSTING with pride for our boys.

I am woefully behind on everything but fic (that im only marginally behind on) so by all means, fill me in on the goings on of fandom. I did hear about jared's absence for fangoria, which hello, SADFACE. I also did hear about the LA Con in October, which I will be at come hell or high water. has anyone heard about renewal? season three? am I JINXING things by just mentioning them?

I am starved for info my lovies, come tell me things!

hopefully that lets everyone know where im at and how things are going! to recap, im a hermit, I work and sleep and read at the moment. I will try to be better. I have the 5th off so hopefully I can do something fun. even if its just sleeep. mmmmmmm sleep.

I love you ALL. never doubt it!

i am so going to regret being up this late when morning comes.

but isnt he so damned PRETTY? i am so excited for Playthings.

so hunted. was SO GOOD OMG. seriously, sam was awesome, ava ROCKED and worried dean was amazing. there was nothing i didnt like about that ep omg. and the directors cuts for PLAYTHINGS? HELLO, BEST EVER. lets talk about how hot sammy is getting, can we please?

arrgh. i feel so completely USELESS omg. all i do is work and sleep and read a little fic. i think my room is growing its own sentient beings okay? god i need to stop SLEEPING but i like to sleep in on the weekends and then suddenly its like 330. what is THAT?

im getting kind of nervous, because the girl i work with, erin, is due to have her baby within a month, and we all know how often a baby can come early (or late) and im not sure i can do everything in the job without her and ill be the point person and we'll have a temp hired to help me but OMG THIS JOB IS SO STRESSFUL. it never ever ever ends. and im an anal and detail oriented person to begin with so that just makes me crazier. *bites nails*

i think i want a new layout but it'd need to be like, 3 or 4 new headers cuz im obsessive like that. oi.

oh and there is also this!

Comment here and I'll tell you one thing I love about you! snagged from cathybites and txtequilanights!

okay so fye.com is having this major sale with DVD sets. and ive got about SIX that i really really want.

but even with the sale part its a hefty chunk of change. and i want my flists thoughts.

so ive got these:

Veronica Mars Seasons 1 & 2, for 22.99 each. Now ive never SEEN VMars, but all my fandom friends tell me its awesome and i should watch it and theyve yet to steer me wrong.

Charmed Seasons 3 & 4, for 18.99 each. I know a lot of people don't like Charmed, but it was my first WB show to tell the truth and it eventually pulled me into some of the other shows. And while I dont have seasons 1&2, ive seen them all enough times for it to not bother me.

Smallville 2 & 3, for 22.99 each. This is pretty much a given. I ADORE the first three season of SV so these two I'm probably getting, no matter what the poll says.

then there is the chance i could get them all, screw the cost. :D

so! a poll! tell me what to do oh flist!
