ramblin' rose, the Babylonian edition

[roxy]

What's up, people? I have the day off from work and I'm supposed to be cleaning house in preparation for this weekend's celebration, a celebration of the day my child hit the planet. Yay!

She actually saw my LJ for the first time the other day--she wanted to see the merepeople. I gave her the link and told her, "Don't scroll up or down." Hah! Poor thing.

♥Can anyone explain to me what "div" means? I keep seeing it in stories and from context I'm guessing it means something like divine but where the hell did this word come from? It's an odd one to me. Maybe it's just the New Jersey coming out.

♥I'm wanting to do some official roxy recs, there have been a few stories I've read that are pretty damn amazing. There have been a few stories I've read that have been less than. It's been a really uneven BB year, I find. Still, it's great that the enthusiasm for the BB is still there. It makes me happy that w still care so much about those characters. And it's a great way to fill the time between seasons, right? I mean, besides compulsively watching the eps over and over again, not that I know anyone who would do such a thing. :)

♥Remember when I said I wasn't going to do another SamDeanOTP minibang...*koff* And I already know what I'm going to do for next year's BB. Unless I start posting it here. Which I shouldn't because I have that slavefic slowly chugging away. Yep.

♥So, I'm home and feeling babbly. Questions, anyone? Stuff you'd like to know about me? Stuff you want me to make up about me? Ya'll know me, I can go on about myself forevah!



heck yeah!

1) You're adorable!!

2) I want to know what you're doing for OTP! I'm doing wincestbigbang (but doing a mini bang) so I don't think I'll be able to do that. We'll see. I always say I'm not doing something, and then BOOM! (Although the con is around then too.)

3) We are going to a CON!!

4) Yay Baby Girl's birthday!!!

5) Is it maybe just for divider?

6) So did she scroll??? Reaction??? And did she like the mers?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

2) I don't know yet! But it'll be something! :D

3)

CON!!!!

4) yes!

5) no, they say stuff like "he divd that blah-blah did bla-blah". It's odd and keeps throwing me out the story but I gather that it's a common word to everyone but me?

6) LOL!! She did not scroll, but very much enjoyed the mers! :D

For the record, I have no idea what div is in that context. I mean, <div> is HTML code, but that wouldn't make any sense.

-- Wait, have checked Urban Dictionary. The top definition is: Actually originates from prison slang in the UK. A job often given to the lowest inmates was to put cardboard dividers into boxes. Someone given this job was a 'divider' or a 'div'. Now used as an insult to those who display stupidity.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Yep, saw that too, but div is definitely being used as maybe, "understood", or "came to see", like that. That's why I thought maybe it was non-US slang. I know it's weird to get hung up like that on a word but it's really got me, lol!

[bluemeridian]

Oh you did say something like divine, didn't you. No, it seems odd to me too that you'd be seeing a lot of it. As is, I don't think I've run across it at all but I'll have to keep an eye out as now I'm curious!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Yes, let me know if you're seeing it in fics, too! I've only noticed it in this recent crop of spNBBs so maybe I'm just not reading enough current fics to notice.

[elwarre.livejournal.com]

go on, rec me some fics, roxy!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, I will rec some recs, believe you me! Also, I'm reading a Sam/Dean right now I'm enjoying very much, Catching Hell. I'll let you know what I think when I'm done! :D

[runedgirl.livejournal.com]

OMG wait, did samdeanotp minibang sign ups start? I've been so busy I'm missing things left and right. At least I've managed to get my wincestbigbang minibang drafted tho. And you too, yay!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

No, no!! lol!! I said that because I was absolutely convinced that last year was my last time doing it, and now...I'm pretty sure I was lying to myself.

Yay!! More story from you, yes!!

[tabaqui]

Okay, I'll bite....

How are you so amazing, Ms Thang?

*smishes and twirls and smooches you all over*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Clean living and a cigar after every meal.



;D

I totally agree about the Big Bangs being a bit uneven this year. However, there are a TON of new writers which is refreshing. I am excited to see wear they will take our boys.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

That is the good news! I can see promise in some new fics, so good for us if those writers keep at it. If the enthusiasm continues, the BB will be here for a long time.

1. Do you have a Facebook page? Either way, how do you feel about it?
2. Have you ever done a voice post? I don't remember... :(
3. Can I have a hug?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

1) I do!! I don't like it! It's to easy to have everybody in your business and Mr. R's family would die if they knew I was writing slash, so I have to make sure there's a sharp division between LJ and FB.

2) No! I keep meaning to. I should just do a random voice post. You all should revel in the nasal wonder that is my voice. ;D

3) omg, *yes!!* So many!! And kisses!! XXOOOXXOOOOO

I replied, but not to you, don't ask me how, like this LJ thing is all new to me! Thanks to the lovely daisydumont, who pointed it out, I am now answering and adding hugs on! :D

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAA! I was honest-to-god on the bus yesterday on my way to work my old apartment, wondering why you never answered me! ("Maybe I was too intrusive... ") :D Hilarious!

Please please please do a voice post!

I have a Facebook, but I have a fake name, and I hide from most of my family. lol. Nobody bothers me because they can't find me! :D

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You didn't reply to your interlocutor. I'm drinking Riesling and being a busybody, up in everyone's business. Check it -- you made a new comment instead! silsbee329 is waiting to hear from you. ;D

♥

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!! Oy, how did I do that?! Let me fix that, posthaste! :D

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Ms. Dumont! :D
