quarterturn: (spn - research - smart boys are sexy)

(no subject)

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!

the only job i can see dean having is being a hooker. LOL. but besides that, i dunno. he's not book smart enough to land a career kind of job, but he's street smart enough to work at mcdonalds or something like that.

and, yeah. i'm over seventy five hundred words in my epic yaaaaaaaay. <33333

the only job i can see dean having is being a hooker.

Haha, YES. Totally. I mean besides that. :D I just pictured Dean in one of those McDonald's uniforms, with the hat and everything, and it made me so sad. Don't do it, Dean. Hooking is a much better option.

DUDE WHAT. That is AMAZING. I cannot wait to read this epic that I already know is made of awesome.

[identity profile] mytimehaspassed.livejournal.com 2007-04-19 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
hooking IS so much better than mcdonalds, it's kinda funny. haha.

DUDE. I DON'T EVEN HAVE SLASHY PARTS YET. and it's like thirteen pages. NO SLASH! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? lol. i'm gonna stick some dean/sam in eventually, though, haha.

OH, OH MY GOD, I totally just remembered what else I was going to post about and then I SAW YOUR ICON and totally remembered. DUDE I saw The Hamiltons and that movie is SO effed up, the acting kills me (and not in a good way) but I SO WANT FIC FOR THAT NOW. Wendell/ANYBODY. Seriously. Um, any sibling/any sibling, because they're all so fucking slash (and hello, canonly incestuous) that I can't even get over it. Wendell beating the crap out of Francis? YES PLZ. I need TONS of fic from this movie.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Although I tend to think I'd love your gen just as much as your slash, so, you know. It's basically win/win for me. :D

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-19 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
And by 'slash' I obviously meant 'slashy', which doesn't even make sense since there's a girl, but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

[identity profile] mytimehaspassed.livejournal.com 2007-04-19 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
DUDE IF YOU FIND FIC, GIVE IT TO ME. BECAUSE I WANT SOME, TOO. and i might just have to write some myself. i'm currently striving for wendell/david/francis. or wendell/david. or ANYBODY/francis. because francis is <33333333.

and, hahaha, dude i just ordered that movie, i love it so much. i'm gonna watch it about eighty seven thousand times when i get home. i don't care about the bad acting or anything, i think it's fucking awesome.

yeah, i was thinking about keeping it gen, just because it's not particularly heading for slash right now, but i wanna throw some sam/dean in there. just because i love it. <333

Thank you darling. *hug* I'd be more coherent without the migraine. ♥

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-19 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
*squeeze* Aw, babes, I'm sorry. Do you get them often? My mom and I both get them pretty regularly, and I've found the most effective relief comes from peppermint oil on the offending area. ♥

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-19 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
I WILL DEFINITELY SHARE. And if you write some maybe I will too.

There really needs to be something like [livejournal.com profile] yuletide, but smaller. Like, a drabble challenge for obscure fandoms, because I have more of those than any big ones, and it really blows that there are like, three decent fics for every small fandom. :(

Haha, like I'm gonna complain that you're throwing Dean/Sam in there, c'mon. :D

[identity profile] mytimehaspassed.livejournal.com 2007-04-19 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
if you write some, i'll write some, haha.

dude, you should make a comm like that. because i'd definitely join and help or whatever. <33333

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.

GAH. I have such a power outage phobia. The thought of them scare me because I need my tv and computer. And HOT FOOD! D:

Haunted house! I wanna come! Sounds cool. You should call the Winchesters though. ;)

I severely hope you didn't get eaten by ghosts! I miss you ♥♥

just letting you know the severe lack of you on my friends page is upsetting.

... first I just wanted to ask if you're okay, since I haven't heard anything from you in like two weeks. Everything all right, babe? *is concerned*

Secondly, I am very confused because it appears there is no comment to this entry from me even though I clearly remember writing one O.o

Anyway, just wanted to check on you. *misses* *clings*

[identity profile] whirligigged.livejournal.com 2007-05-03 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I'm doing that thing where I hope that you're just not posting because you have little to say. That no-news-good-news thing. You know. And I full-on have got to discuss with you TBD. And Supernatural. And Heroes, mostly the crazy amount of Sylar/Mohinder that clearly the writers are putting in on purpose. Even though mostly my comments consists of *FLAIL*, as usual. :)

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-05-08 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
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

Power outages suck so hardcore, for real. Especially in the winter when it's freezing or in the summer when it's sweltering, but anytime really when there's nothing to do. I've grown so lazy, I barely ever read anything not on my computer screen anymore. :(

If there were real Winchesters to call, baby, you better believe I would be seeing "ghosts" every other night. :D

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-05-08 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't! That seemed to be the popular theory, though! lol. I missed you too, babe. ♥

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-05-08 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
I just wanted to let you know that this comment really kind of made my whole life. ♥

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-05-08 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
There's absolutely nothing I can say about this comment that will do it any justice. I mean, Bert and Ernie? A mix about missing me? I love you. ♥

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-05-08 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
I have like seventy billion comment conversations going on with you right now, but what's one more? ;D Hrmm, I don't remember seeing a comment from you on this entry, but I know LJ's been very wonky the past couple months, so maybe it got eaten? :-/

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-05-08 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hello darling, I am so sorry to have worried you, seriously, because I missed you like crazy, and I am totally serious about that. We definitely need to have a TV discussion ASAP, because there is so much I am bursting to talk about. I haven't been keeping up with TBD because I've been away from the computer, but that is on my to do list. But I have totally been keeping up with SPN and Heroes, and basically this sums up how I've been feeling about both of them: ZOMG PRISON OUTFITS ZOMG SCARRED PETER ZOMG SYLAR IS SO HOT ZOMG I LOVE THESE SHOWS SO MUCH. I mean really. My heart sometimes feels like it will explode with the love. And really, the amounts of Sylar/Mohinder are RIDICULOUS. I need to go watch Five Years Gone again, like, seventy billion times but only the part where Sylar-as-Nathan is talking to Mohinder because there is so much there.

[identity profile] subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com 2007-05-08 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
LOL after so many weeks of having no conversations, there's nothing bad about having 20 at the same time :D

*lol* well maybe I wrote it, accidentally didn't send it and closed the firefox tab before sending it, I do that all te time because my brain has melted long ago from too much fandom-squeeeing :D :D :D

[identity profile] whirligigged.livejournal.com 2007-05-08 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Whee, I'm just happy to have you back. For realz, I missed you. So many people go MIA on the internet and just...never come back, no word, and I was so afraid that would be you. ;_;

I haven't been keeping up with TBD either! Actually I watched the latest episode at TWO IN THE MORNING last night because my friend keeps insisting that I'm really missing out on some cool stuff. So I still am two episodes behind, but the one I watched was pretty cool and apparently the one that comes next is her favorite episode out of the whole season so far, so I'm excited.

Five fucking years. Okay? He keeps Mohinder around ALL THAT TIME. Sylar TOTALLY has a crush on Mohinder, IT'S PRETTY MUCH CANON NOW. And he's the first person Sylar calls, slightly panicky, after that painting, and I'm all like "aaaah why do they keep feeding me the Mohinder/Sylar? WHY." And I keep eating it up. Oh, show, never stop.

I need to go watch Five Years Gone again, like, seventy billion times but only the part where Sylar-as-Nathan is talking to Mohinder because there is so much there.
This makes it easier to admit that I did this too. Ahem.

DUDE, did you notice how Sylar-as-Nathan was like, "I know how things work." THAT WAS SO COOL LMAO.

[identity profile] such-jaunt.livejournal.com 2007-05-10 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well i am very glad it wasn't the case, because i would have to send the winchester boys after them to kick their asses big YED style ... though actually your ghostly apparition could appear and sex them both, after they have found someway to bring you back of course, or keep you somehow because a world without jess = :(

I probably shouldn't admit the amount of times i stalked your journal to see if you were back right? lol :O
