This is going to be a totally random entry, sorry, just warning you now.

So our power went out earlier, because the power company is running new, bigger lines around our neighborhood for the new ethanol plant (yay living directly under huge power lines! Cancer, \O/!) and of course, when our power goes out, my first instinct is to clean. Because really, when else am I going to do it? When we have power, I either want to be doing something on the computer or watching TV. And our power goes out often enough that it's a totally workable plan.

I think tonight my siblings, Allen, and I are going out to a cemetery and to this supposedly haunted house known only as "Hell." I don't even know. I've never heard of it and I've lived around here my whole life, but I suppose it's worth checking out. I told my sister and brother I didn't want to go unless Allen went, because he's one of those very skeptical, very logical people that does believe in the paranormal, but only when there's definite evidence, so he'll be pointing out that we're all idiots for getting scared and then I won't be as scared. :D Of course, I'd be much, much more enthused about going if I knew there was a chance I might run into a certain pair of brothers also doing some supernatural investigating... :D

Speaking of which! I watched the director's cuts for this weeks SPN, and DUDE. That last one, with Dean totally falling into a normal job so easily and looking like he's enjoying himself? KILLS me. Do we think he's ever worked a normal job before? I mean, even like a fast food place as a teenager, or anything? He just looked so comfortable, so happy to slip into that role if even for a little while, it makes me think he's never done anything but hunt before. And both John and Sam have, and maybe they forgot that he never had. And maybe Dean didn't even know he wanted it until he tried it. I can see him being a lot more sympathetic about Sam wanting a normal life from now on. On the other hand, I can't see Dean staying in a normal job even if he had the chance, after so many years as a hunter, knowing how much good they do. I think he'd get antsy, I think he'd miss the road. So maybe he'll be less sympathetic, not able to understand why Sam could turn his back on the life for good.

Someone, please, rec me or write me fic where Dean is working a normal job. Not AU, I mean, I want him to have been a hunter at some point, maybe he's done with that life or just taking a break or he has to do it to be undercover, but I need this like burning.

This is probably really lame of me to be so excited about, but I got my first non-flist (that I know of) rec today! Or found it today, at least. And I don't know if that's not something I should be as excited about as I am, but I'm pretty giddy and it means a lot to me, so. You know. If it's sad and lame, too bad. The weird thing is that it was for that Ryan/Kelly Office fic I wrote, which was my first (and probably only) fic in that fandom, and the first het fic I've posted for public consumption, so that's interesting. But also awesome!

And while we're on the subject, I have a couple recs of my own.

Before You Leave, 300, Gorgo/Leonidas, NC-17 by

schneestern. Seriously, hot and gorgeous and wonderful. The character insight is fantastic, and the sex is smokin'.

another bag of bricks, The Black Donnellys, Tommy/Jenny, Tommy/Kate, Tommy/Kevin if you squint, ensemble, PG-13 by

technosage. This is over ten thousand words, and it works better than an episode, in my opinion. The character voices are dead on, the tone is dark but funny in spots and bittersweet in others, just like the show, and the plot is believable and moves quick enough that when you hit the end, you really won't believe you've just read an eleven thousand-word story.

Also! The porning is ON over at

justthatdirty for the Heroes pornathon, so you should probably go write something hot and dirty and kinky.

I have a billion million things to be doing, and things I owe people and e-mails and comments to get back to, and like, ten trillion pages of my flist to catch up with (which, just so you know, will never happen, but I am aiming to get back to commenting regularly, so if I missed something important, let me know) but right now I'm gonna go shower (because yeah, I'm kinda skanky like that and haven't showered yet today) and possibly finish cleaning since I'm in the mood now and find something to eat!

Oh, going to a haunted house/cemetary sounds like so much fun. I'd never, ever be able to go alone (because I'm kind of a wimp) or convince my sister to go along with me (because she's even more of a wimp than I am), so the closest thing we've done is running around my grandparents' old house with flashlights and a video camera.

And I don't know, I could see Dean getting a few odd jobs here and there while hunting by himself. Because I imagine he'd take breaks between hunts, and credit card scams have to grow old at some point. And now I'm imagining him hiring himself out as one of those landscape workers, because that's easy enough of a job to get, which involves imagining him shirtless and sweaty. Mmm.

Haha, omg, running around your grandparents' old house with flashlights and a videocamera sounds like so much fun! Did you keep the tapes you made?

klajdfkljdsf sweaty!Dean. Dude, if I got a landscape worker that looked like Dean, he would not be working on my landscape. :D
