It's only the fourth of February and this is already my second post.
Woah, dude. Actually, I just posted yesterday. ~wow~
I'm pretty sure I go most months without two posts, just for a little comparison of how ridiculously lazy I am on LJ.
But anyways, this new and completely different post (ha, yeah right) is about three of my favorite things: the Jonas Brothers, Kings of Leon, and cracky smut fic.
All in one.

Cause the Kings of Leon did this interview back in '08 where the interviewer was... an interesting woman who kept comparing them to the Jonas Brothers. Um, yeah. That actually happened.
So Caleb mentioned they were staying in the same hotel [also, I love that fic someone wrote about Nick being all excited to meet them and then they're all total dicks, jsyk] and then he said (and this is the part I had forgotten about until I just re-watched the interview today) "One of them has my same boots"
CLEARLY, KEVIN + CALEB IS A MATCH MADE IN BOOT HEAVEN.

( cut because dear lord, this is about Kevin/Caleb so I don't even know what's going on )

SERIOUSLY.
KEVIN JONAS & ANTHONY CALEB FOLLOWILL.
Get together, please. And it would be lovely if you could touch each other with, you know, your mouths. A lot.
Thanks!

EW IT'S FEBRUARY.
I don't particularly like February because it's generally shitty weather and it's the month of my birthday.
And birthdays are weird, so.

OKAY, HERE'S A LITTLE TIDBIT FOR YOU...
I can show you in two pictures what is essentially the entire plot of this fic I've had on my mind for the past two weeks:
  
I have NO IDEA how I am going to make this work AT ALL.
But... It will happen. Somehow. Eventually?
IDK. It's just that Nick talking about his man purse satchel on his live chat yesterday has got me feverishly working on it again, so.
Who knows? I might actually finish something once!

Okay, so, here's the thing: I live in Virginia Beach.
( In which I rant about snow... )
So I'm snowed in. Or whatever. Not literally, because I can go outside, but I can't drive anywhere due to the roads being shitty because GUESS WHAT. IT'S NOT LIKE VIRGINIA BEACH KEEPS UP THE ROADS WITH SNOW PLOWS OR SOMETHING.
I don't even know if they have any snowplows, TBH.

So, yeah. I've been at home all weekend not doing work I need to do.
And worse, it's given me freedom to pursue my burgeoning Jonas Brothers love which, hello. Does not need any help.
But I'm not really all that bothered because it means I somehow came across this picture on the internet:


I feel like I should cut this to save your flist and/or your retinas if you are among those who still loathe the Jonas Brothers with a fiery passion [and oh, how I wish I were still one of you D:] BUT TOO BAD. They are too cute.
But, yeah. I have this saved as "Family Dynamics" in my picture folder because it is THE STORY OF THEIR LIVES.
Kevin is startled, Nick is smug, and Joe is I don't even know what. Like I said, story of their lives.

Edit: oh, and I got a Jonas Brothers icon. Fuck my fucking life so hard. Where did I go wrong in life?

I finally got to watch Castle from last week! IT WAS ADORABLE, obviously. I adore that show <3
Especially Esposito & Ryan who are my favoritesss because they are ridiculously precious.
Beckett: "When I'm not here do you guys braid each other's hair and debate who's the coolest Jonas Brother?"
Esposito: "No... but it's totally Nick."
Ryan : "Absolutely Nick"
Esposito: "Yeah. Mmmmm."

And as adorable as this is, I wouldn't mention it except that it's the only segue I can come up with into what I have to confess.
I... I am really into the Jonas Brothers.
And not even in a more socially-acceptable like, ironic way or anything. I really just love them.
Even their music is awesome in a guilty pleasure way.
OH GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY ADMITTED THAT.
IT'S SO SHAMEFUL BUT GODDAMN I ADORE THEM.
So, yeah. Odds are I will be talking about them often and over-zealously -- I WILL PROBABLY EVEN BE WRITING FIC WHICH, OH MY GOD.
I thought I had hit rock bottom when I decided gay incest and RPS were a-okay to ship (thanks a fucking lot, Supernatural) BUT NO.
THERE'S THE FUCKING JONAS BROTHERS, SO IT BECOMES GAY INCEST RPS SINCE JOSEPH AND NICHOLAS MAKE IT WAY TOO DAMN EASY TO SHIP THEM.
Case in point:


Ahem. ANYWAYS, since I know that many sane people have a very um, distasteful outlook on the Jonas Brothers I'm not going to like, go cray cray if you yell at me to stop geeking out over Disney Channel stars or defriend me or anything.
BELIEVE ME, I WANT TO DEFRIEND MYSELF OVER THIS, TOO.

Summary: Barnacles are Jensen Ackles' least favorite arthropod.

 

( under the cut: )

 

Fuck yes.
I found out my score on this paper that counts for 1/3 of the course grade -- and it was a ninety fucking five.
Which, I mean, normally I'd be going for a bit higher... but I read a grand total of seven pages of the book I was analyzing.
So, yeah.
Bullshit gets you everywhere, sometimes.
I mean, there's not a chance in hell I'll ever pull something like that again because it was: A) ungodly stressful and B) made me nervous I would fail in an epic way.
But STILL. A ninety five. For seven pages. YES.

Also, I had the most surreal conversation with my sister today.
She was joking me for watching "a dork show" like Supernatural, so I told her that at least it wasn't "One Tree Hill."
Which, of course, sent her into rants on what an awesome show it was, and how it was so ~deep and meaningful~
And then she goes, "And I'm just SO SAD Lucas isn't on the show this year!"
I'm like, "... Chad Michael Murray?"
She nods and says "He's SO HOT. And, gosh, he's so talented. I mean, he's just amazing as Lucas. I love him!"
So, yeah. That was awkward. I tried valiantly not to laugh, but I was unsuccessful. And then I couldn't even explain to her why the concept of Chad Michael Murray as a talented actor was so hilarious to me.
Oh, real life. Sometimes I forget how unintentionally amusing you are.

OH FUCK, WHITE COLLAR FINALE LAST NIGHT.
( Cut for swearing/fangirlism )

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 :)
