OHMYGOD.

So I've been doing a Firefly marathon this weekend because I was feeling all nostalgic or something, and I got to ep five, "Safe."
As you may or may not know/remember, we see young Simon and young River in this episode.
And when I first watched the series back in... IDK, 2007 (how late to the party, I know ;D) or something, I thought Wow, Young!Simon looks really familiar!

And today I realized, he looked familiar because it's ~ZAC FUCKING EFRON~
BRB LOLing forever!
I can't even believe I didn't notice it before, but now that I did... I will never be able to think of Simon in the same way ever again :)


Also, new obsession: White Collar.
FFFFFSSSS, I LOVE THAT SHOW.
It's so refreshing to have two leads with such fantastic chemistry in a completely non-sexual way (HAH, Jensen and Jared)
And Elizabeth and Mozzie are two of the freaking cutest things ever.
It doesn't hurt that Matt Bomer may be the most gorgeous man this side of Misha Collins. I die a little on the inside when he walks around in a three-piece suit, NGL.

And, DESERT BUS <3
So cute. I don't have time to watch it creepily closely as I would like, and I'm a broke student so I can't donate, but I would kill to have them do a dramatic reading of the epic fanfic "My Immortal"
That's one of those fics that every person in fandom needs to read at least once in their lives, you know?
I'll never forget the first time I saw the name Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way
It was so beautiful I nearly cried.

... as saunter vaguely downwards :)
JUST SAYING, I NEED SOME CASTIEL/CROWLEY FIC IN MY LIFE RN.
Both SPN!Crowley and GoodOmens!Crowley, for that matter.

So, I kind of adored this episode.
( Fuck you, hiatus )

LOLOLOLOL at this comment on ONTD:
"Castiel is the reason this show is dying the same thing that Spike ruined Buffy. the fans go crazy, the writers start catering to the fans and what started out as a good thing turns into a piece of shit and it turns it into the Castiel show. I really fucking can't stand Castiel or Misha Barton, though I recognize that Ruby 2.0 was another reason season 4 stunk."

I feel like something got lost in translation here... Although at least they got the spelling of Misha right?

OHMYGOD.
I just watched last night's Castle.
( BEST.THING.EVER. )

Also, I finally decided what I'm going to do for NaNo this year.
Which is like, amazing, because last year was the first time I did it & I had no idea whatsoever of what I should write, so I got 20k into a post-apocalyptic futurefic before I said fuck it and dropped it.
But it's a little odd, I suppose, because I wouldn't know how to describe it beyond "religious western" which just sounds like a weird combination.
Anyways, the premise is that it's 1930-ish America and God has arrived on Earth in the guise of a soft-spoken, gun-toting 'Marlboro man'.
Err, sorta. I'm going for Butch Cassidy/Clint Eastwood/Constantine kinda deal. Of course, since it's me creating the character he'll still only be like, 1/100th the awesomeness of those three guys but whatever.
And He's lost most of his 'powers' (fuck, is that what you would call it when you're talking about God?) because people believe in money and power instead of religion (OHMYGOD, I know that's overdone in stories but IDGAF. LET ME KEEP MY ILLUSIONS).
So, the main conflict is that he has to, you know, save the world (Lucifer -- or at least his minions -- are going to be involved somehow. I'm... working on it. Hahaha, fuck) with much more limited abilities then he would normally have.
So yeah. Gonna be shitty and realistically, never actually finished. BUT STILL.
Should be fun at least!

1. I have come to the conclusion that Supernatural needs to get Chad Michael Murray to guest-star. I'm think as a one-off uber demon or something, although I would be quite pleased if he turned out to be a long lost second cousin twice removed or something.
The resemblance is there! Sort of.

2. ILU NEW YORK YANKEES. Seriously. ELEVEN INNINGS OH MY GOD. I spent most of that time jumping on my couch in a way that made me look even crazier than Tom Cruise, which woah -- that's pretty fucking crazy.
I would willingly have Mark Teixeira's babies. Which is saying something because I'm one of those people who are of the opinion that babies are a fate worse than death.
And I would do Alex Rodriguez in a heartbeat. And Johnny Damon. And Matsui. And Robinson Cano. AND JORGE POSADA LIKE YOU WOULD NOT EVEN BELIEVE.
And that fast little fucker who stole second and third, but doesn't start so IDK his name because I'm an elitist bitch like that.
But Derek Jeter will always be my first love <3

3. Today in class we were talking about happiness and how it's different for everybody, so someone was like, "Well, what is happiness for you?" So this other girl yells out "ONE TREE HILL!" and immediately someone goes "Chad Michael Murray is so sexy!"
With a straight face. And people agreed, in a non-ironic way.
It pretty much made my day.


WTH.
Why is the majority of this post about CMM?
Fuck my life, if this is what it has come to.

OHMYGODDD.
Okay. This could be old meme on the internet by now for all I know, but it's the first time I ever saw it, so bear with me.




SERIOUSLY. WHAT THE FUCK.
I cannot figure out if this is the funniest thing I've ever seen or the scariest.
I mean, on one hand, GOD. It's HILARIOUS.
But on the other hand, it reminds me way to much of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, so.

It's quite a conundrum.

God, I'm so lazy.
But I have a few random thoughts and a question or two about Supernatural 5.04.

( In which I profess my love for a certain Mr. Edlund )

If I could only use one work to describe 5x03, it would be this: ILUKRIPKESFM.
Self-explanatory, I should think.

( Cut for spoilers and awkward fangirling )




Jesus. That was long.
For me, at least. Usually I'm too full of the flail to make coherent sentences after SPN.
Also, WTH am I even doing up. I have like, legitimate stuff I should be doing right now. This is always what happens after SPN XD

So I haven't really been on LJ for any length of time in like, weeks. Which kind of sucked, I won't lie.
It does make me feel marginally better to know that I'm not as dependent on it as I thought I was, though :)
Still, I'm trying to catch up on my flist (I'm beginning to realize this may prove to be futile) but I did make sure to go over and check out mishaland ...
OH BOY. Hahaha. I'm sorry I missed "Markshaland" because I won't lie, I kind of adored Mark Pellegrino in Dexter. Which doesn't make since considering he wasn't exactly, you know, a sympathetic character. BUT WHATEVER. LOVE IS NOT LOGICAL XD


So... Supernatural tonight...
I don't really know what to say other than JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
That's pretty much it.
Oh, and it was one of the most badass episodes of SPN ever.

( a few spoilers for SPN 5x02 under the cut )

Wow. Re-reading that, I sound like an over-excited 12 year old. Only with more profanity.
Awesome!

I finally got around to going out and getting my Supernatural s4 DVD today :)
I'm a lazy fan who can't be bothered to get up off her ass, what can I say?
But yeah, I seriously grinned like a maniac at the cashier who probably thought I was nuts.
Story of my life, pretty much.

And I went to the NY v. CWS game at Yankee Stadium this weekend which was all kinds of awesome.
My father and I went together as a sort of ... bonding thing, I suppose. Baseball is pretty much the only thing in the world that we agree on and won't fight about. So we've gone to two games at the old Yankee Stadium before this -- the Kansas City game where A-Rod hit his 500th home run and the very last game :)
And on that note, guh, I love the new stadium. And it makes me inexplicably happy that they did the same style frieze along the roof. The old stadium was gorgeous and the fact that they honored tradition makes my Yankee-obsessed heart all warm and fuzzy :)
And the Yankees won, of course, because they are awesome that way.

Also, I had a ~revelation~ when I was driving back from NY.
I was keeping myself awake by blasting my rock playlist, and I was making my way through Led Zeppelin II when "Ramble On" came on and I was all smiling to myself because, you know, Dean's favorite song and all.
But I've only heard "Ramble On" a few times because despite the fact that it has "Whole Lotta Love" & "Moby Dick" [two of my favorites] I've never been particularly enamored by Led Zeppelin II.
So this time I'm like, really listening to the lyrics and for the first time I heard all the Lord of the Rings references (for real, how the hell did I miss "Mordor" and "Gollum"? Really?).
Of course, when I got home I wikipedia-ed it and found out there are about a million other songs about LOTR that Led Zeppelin did.
Seriously, I think I'm probably the last person on Earth who found this out.
Again, story of my life.

My life was so fucking awkward today.

1) I was sitting at home eating breakfast and reading Us Weekly [yes, this is what students without a summer job resort to] and there was a little article about Venus Williams. I think it was "25 Things You Don't Know About Me" or something along those lines. And one of the things she said was "Supernatural's Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are my favorite TV brothers." And I was so irrationally excited by this. Like, majorly lame. And basically it just made me realize how much of a loser I am.

2) My mother is apparently aware that I read fanfiction. And my sister. And my father.
What. The. Fuck.
I almost died when she mentioned it to me. I swear to God if she ever finds this journal I will lose it. Something tells me a conservative Republican family would not be amused by my bisexuality or apparent fascination with gay brotherly incest.

Before I went to HBP last night, I had heard from several people who thought it was, to put it lightly, shit.
So I went in ready for a repeat of PoA or something equally painful to watch -- but it turns out they were so wrong. I loved it!
I mean, they didn't have a lot of stuff from the books [oh, hi, Dumbledore's funeral] but simply as a movie, I quite liked it.
And the comic relief was amazing; Harry tripping on acid on the felix felicis was hilarious (especially the 'pincers' bit and when he was clapping for Hagrid and Slugorn!} as was Ron & Harry's discussion about the finer points of Ginny & Hermione's skin.
And I know that I disagree with many of my friends on this point, but I thought the cinematography was bloody fantastic. Especially the scene in the field before the Burrow burns down. That was just gorgeous. I particularly liked the duel in the bathroom, too -- the cool tones and washed out colors were excellent.
But still, even though I enjoyed it as a whole, there were some bits that annoyed me. First, Ginny comforting Harry. I mean, I guess I wanted to to be able Dumbledore and Harry's ~epic connection~ or whatever, not Dumbledore and Harry (+ Ginny). Meh, whatever. But another thing was the whole school bringing their wands up with all the light. I mean, I get that it was supposed to be all symbolic, but really? Really? I guess it just felt overdone *shrugs*
In addition, maybe it was just my slash goggles, but it felt like there was crazy amounts of sexual tension all over the place. Like when Snape pushed Draco up against the wall, or Harry and Draco every second they were near each other... So yeah, it's my overactive slash goggles but it made the movie just that much more interesting :)



In a totally unrelated mention, John Barrowman in a dress, heels, and wig.
Oh my goodness. That picture! So hilarious. So John!
Apparently he was doing it as an advertisement for his next play, but I think we all know he just wanted to play dress up :)

So Children of Earth is premiering tomorrow. And it's kind of crazy how excited I am, because from the promos, it looks really freaking good.
But I'm quite annoyed that it's not coming on BBC America until... what? The 20th I think? [Although that's better than we fared for Doctor Who, considering the Christmas special just came on two weeks ago or whatever.]
Regardless, this means I'm going to have to wait until someone uploads it online the day after-ish. Unless I can find a streaming site that has it, but I've never had to use methods like that before and I'm having no luck!

On a happier note, I'm super excited about my prompt for deancastiel's "Renegade Angels" fic exchange. I had so much fun writing last time and I got great prompts this go, too. 
I haven't written anything for ages because I haven't had any inspiration except for this one fic idea I've been hung up on for months now - only, I haven't got around to writing it because it would have to be a lot longer than anything I've tried before. And I'm afraid that I couldn't pull it off and the premise would just sound silly to anyone unless you were, you know, in my head or whatever to see what I had in mind.
Apparently I need people to tell me what to do in order to get stories done :)

SO EXCITED for several reason at the moment.

1) I just signed up for the j2_afterclass fic challenge. It's all based off of High School/College movies and T.V. shows, and I picked the movie "Stick It." It's one of those movies you joke but secretly love. NGL, it's kind of my guilty pleasure :)
So yeah, I'm super excited. I seriously need prompts and a deadline in order to write and finish fic or it'll just languish on my hard drive for... well, ever pretty much!
But I'm pretty stoked to make "Stick It" J2-style :)

2) I live about thirty minutes away from Busch Gardens Williamsburg and they have concerts there in the summer that are included with the admission. And since I'm so close I have a platinum pass so I can go whenever. And it just so happens that this summer, two of the concerts are going to be Kansas and Foreigner!
You can bet I will be singing loudly and very off-key the entire time :)

With regards to the casting ***spoilers*** for season five of Supernatural, I'm not really sure what to think.

( SPOILERS )

I was creepily-stalking a_pious_cruelty 's LJ because I'm a creepy stalker like that.
And I couldn't resist the meme that was just posted because I took one look at my desktop and realized how embarrassing I am XD


01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their livejournal.
02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper.
03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this. The point is to see what you had on.



I don't know how I can explain this other than that Misha Collins is a motherfucking badass. I had had one of Andy Warhol's self portraits as the background for forever (because Andy Warhol is the only person who beats both Chuck Norris & Misha Collins in my book) when I decided I needed to celebrate the 1000 members of mishaland . I chose this particular Misha image for the classic eye!sex and sex!hair. I must admit there was much internal debate between this and the screencap from Nip/Tuck - the screencap, where Misha is so hot he smacks his own butt. But then I decided that might be a little creepy, even for me, so... [what am I even talking about. I thought Assmilk was hilarious and that is the ultimate creepy image. I'm in denial, i think]
As you can also see, Fandom beats RL 5 to 1 with regards to the space on the toolbar. I feel so lame right now :)

So, here's the thing.
I've kinda been off the internet & flist for the past few days (read: more like weeks) except for very minimal amounts of time.
And, um, I just now saw this : http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2009/06/supernatural-stars-sensational.html
Please tell me I am not dreaming.
Like, pretty pretty please.
Because right now I'm kind of geeking out over the the thought of a sixth season.
I long ago resigned myself to the fact that five was going to be the end and I would have only one more glorious year.

Pinch me, please.

Maybe I'll post more later.
I don't really know.
I'm just kind of... in shock right now, I guess.
So many things happened tonight  - good, bad, fucking awesome, and every shade in between.
 ( spoilers for season finale of Supernatural )

OH YAYYYYY.
I am so happy right how :D
Because my two favorites are going to be in the finale next week...
( and it is going to be AWESOME. )

In other news,
The Supernatural season finale is tomorrow night.
I'm not really sure how I feel about that right now.
I mean, there's the obvious excitement to see what the hell is even going to happen (you're killing me, Kripke, you really are) but then again... season finale. So sad - especially where "When The Levee Breaks" is leading... I just hope the boys end up okay.
Unfortunately, it isn't looking too good for them.
