rambling rose

I've been looking at Jared's pics--son! You got matchstick legs! Brave, you wearing shorts and all.

It's weird--I notice lots of guys have little stick legs, no matter how big they are on top. I can't deal with those stick legs. I never did like them--reminds me of a routine Coz used to do, way back in the day, about having skinny legs and doubling up his tube socks to try and disguise it, lol!! You know, Mr. R doesn't have that problem. Man's got nice legs. Riding bikes will do that. Bikers have great legs, very supportive, strong legs. Nice laps...but I digress.

We were talking about Jared's prison yard physique, and his brand new toy. How much you wanna bet this is gonna backfire on him spectacularly? I've been swimming along the outside edge of SpN fandom for a while now, and I gotta tell you, if there's a crazier fandom, well, right now they must be busy eating their young, because SpN is the What The Fuck Now. I go to that gossip site every once in a while, when I feel the need to murder a few hours of my life. It's so fucking addictive, in a horrible way--it's like watching multiple train wrecks happen right in front of you, or like being forced to watch granny strippers. And give them dollars.

Okay, so maybe I'm wandering a bit. My excuse is that BG and I worked all day outside, scrubbing and sweeping and chasing spiders and bees away, making our front porch fit to sit on. I need it comfy--there's going to be vats of coffee to drink and tons of J2 and SpN to read! *happy sigh* I treat the BB like a box of chocolates--you know, you eat all the cremes first, and then the caramels...yeah, gen is the caramel in my box of chocolates, but this is a fandom where the gen almost reads like slash. Canon! *G* How lucky am I?

How lucky am I?

Not as lucky as I am to be in the same fandom(s) as you, m'dear! Congrats on the completed porch work (and thanks for the visual of you cussing out spiders and bees LOL), and I hope you post a roxy's reading guide to the SpNBBs this year. You know I love your recs, and follow them stalkerish-ly close (as evidenced by my response time to this very post). *nervous chuckle*

Ahem.

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
LOL! Awwww, my own private stalker!

I swear every year that I'm going to do actual rec them as I read posts. We'll see how it works this year. ;)

Oh, it's nice out there now--lots of pillows and a little table to set my coffee and my laptop on! I hop it distracts from how horribly;y the house needs to be painted--*hides from neighbors* Our house is the house that other folks point at and say, at least we don't live there--but fuck them! They don't have what we have. Sure, it's shabby, but it's a house bursting with love, and kindness and cheer--tchaaah, yeah, I'm not buying that shit either. Whateveah!

You should have seen us when we found the bee's nest in a flowerpot! The whole town must have heard us! I'm yelling at her to run into the house, she's screaming at me to come in off the porch--from behind the screen door but still, she was worried about me--LOL!! Yeah, after that it was tie for coffee for me asdn a rum and tea for poor BG...traumatized!

Your post has made me smile....and feel guilty about not being anywhere near as productive as you (and it's a long weekend here - I currently sit in my pyjamas at 10.30am sipping OJ whilst I leisurely catch up on LJ, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and emails when I just know there's loads of washing, floors to be vacuumed and things to be cleaned - so how's that for determined work avoidance??)...and it worries me a little too, combined with that rather inevitable sense of resignation because these things you write about Spn fandom are so true and Jared is like a gigantic happy kid with a new toy and he means so well and you just know the crazies are gonna make gigantor get all sad at some point, take his bat and ball and flee from the interwebs forever. Oh well *sigh* I shall revel while it lasts and marvel at his wife's surprisingly sturdy strength - impressive really giving Sasquatch a piggy back like that. Go Gen...you're tougher than you look! LOL! And in the meantime I shall return to catching up on ALL the awesome things on my flist. Happy BB reading - you make it sound so indulgently luxurious one is very tempted to call in sick to work just so one can roll around in all the lovely fic!

Girl! you just described my typical week--when I'm not working, I do all that until four o'clock, at which time I sprint for the shower, make the bed, and manage to get dinner started and a load of clothes in the washer before five, when the Fam comes home from work...*koff* not even embarrassed! *GGG*

UpperBodyStrengthGen---I'm seeing new things in her, for sure! *goggle* I hope she's there when the inevitable tears fall. Poor boy--he has no idea....

you make me feel glad i was only in the SpN fandom for about ten minutes. here i note that cory monteith appeared in Wendigo, per IMDb, but that episode creeped me the hell out. no wonder that wasn't the fandom for me. i'm such a marshmallow. how did i ever make it through BtVS? ha!

>...it's like being forced to watch granny strippers. And give them dollars.

oh man. the way your mind works, it never ceases to amaze and amuse!

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
See, that's why I always stick to the edge of the pond,so I don't get dragged under by the crazies!

He was in Wendigo? Wait--Wendigo creeped you out? How *did* you survive BtVS? LOL!! My poor little marshmallow...mmmmm marshmallows, so yummy. *eyeballs you*

[identity profile] myownghost.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
haha! i'm so fat and fluffy and luscious! :D

yes, the nice young man hung up in the cave for food, or whatever that was. can't remember if that was cory or if cory bought the farm early on, and i don't plan to go back to find out. there are better uses for cory monteith. ;)

buffy was pretty gruesome at moments, yes. the silent episode with the gentlemen just about did me in, and i couldn't look in the scene where caleb maims xander. and you know, i still don't like to look at nathan fillion!

OMG Dude ! Stay away from that gossip thingy. That place is INFESTED!!
Also?
Granny strippers? Really? You get to put a visual in my head and thats the one you pick? Thanks for that! >:I

Looking forward to your recs as well.

I bring the pain, sorry--but I had to make folks understand how wrong that place is! So very wrong, omg!

*GGGGG*

I'm **so excited for all the new stories, it's kind of ridiculous! :)

SPN is insanely LOL as far as the fandom drama. Ever heard of the girl who proclaimed to the entire Internet she was married to Jensen Ackles? Oh MAN, I was in that for hours reading the batshit crazy and all the comments. And I thought we Smallville peeps were nutty!

Glad your porch is getting ready for fic reading! Sounds cozy.

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
YES!!! But she's not in fandom--she's just a freaking crazy as far as I know--mind you, it's not like there's *not* an element of SpN fandom as batshit crazy as that chick. Reading that stuff starts to really horrify me. How can you live with that crap running around in your head? *shudder*

You know, I was talking to my dear husband Jen--I call him Jen, he calls me Rox, we just love pet names--about the whole thing and it's very upsetting for him. He's a hard working actor, and to have this kind of unpleasantness hanging over his head. Well, you can imagine how it unsettles him, the poor dear. He was barely able to make sweet precious love to me, that's how upset he was. But he bought me diamonds to make up for it--wait, where are you going...? I haven't told you about our wedding yet!

Oh, I hate men with matchstick legs. I just look at them and hear Dolph Lundgren from "Rocky 4" in my head, "I must break you."

You know, Mr. R doesn't have that problem. Man's got nice legs. Riding bikes will do that. Bikers have great legs, very supportive, strong legs. Nice laps...but I digress.

No, please keep going!

Talkinga bout crushing. I can see him curled up in a ball eating his hair in a week. Maybe ten days.

I've been swimming along the outside edge of SpN fandom for a while now, and I gotta tell you, if there's a crazier fandom, well, right now they must be busy eating their young, because SpN is the What The Fuck Now.

LOL! It's magical. I love wading in. It's like beholding the One Ring and hearing all the crazy whispers.

That really sounds lovely. Although I would've just taken a hose to the porch and called it a day. You are better than I, in many, many ways.

Right! some of these women make me want to mace myself, they're down right delusional with their talk of beards and wtf. Real life bitches--get you one! Though okay, maybe Jensen....

Although I would've just taken a hose to the porch and called it a day.
fuck! i could have done that?????

Actually, I'm feeling like I need a reward for being so good all day today--tomorrow, I'm sitting on the porch with my feet up, a pitcher of lemonade and tons of porn, and everyone that passes by, Imma wave at and yell, "Howdy neighbor! It's a fine motherfucking day, what?"

(tchah--like after 20 years here, I know any of my damn neighbors....)

chocolate truffle? *GGG*

LOL, as long as he just posts and doesn't look back. If he starts reading his replies, then the poor boy's in for a world of distress! And god forbid he tweets back a fan! The entire internet will rise up in a body: WHY HER AND NOT ME?

Right??? That way lies madness, JarPad or whatever the heck it is.

His brand new toy? Wait... what? I am so lost here. :( What is his new toy? Tell meeeeee because I don't know and I want to know. In fact, I kind of need to know. Because.

This fandom is awesome for me, I come from two really (think scary) wanky fandoms and what amounts to wank in SPN fandom is the equivalent of a pillow fight. You want to see some vicious back-biting, hair pulling, clawing-eyes-until-they-bleed stuff, have a poke around in some of the NCIS discussion comms. Oh. My. God. I am so glad I only read in that fandom. "Eating their young" though, that is priceless m'lady. *frames it*

Granny strippers... that is at once funny and horrifying.

I always find BBs like... a year after they were written, so I look forward to your recs. I may catch them this time before they disappear into the annals of fandom history. lol

Jared has a brand new twitter account--which means nothing to me, I'm the least connected person ever--between this and my damn phone, I'm exhausted! However cute pics of him are turning up and the squick factor is vastly reduced by it being himself posting them. Or tweeting them--twitting them, whatev.

NCIS is *nasty*? Really? I can't imagine how that could be! I can't imagine folks who watch the show getting in the gutter--about what? How weird. Fandom, it's a huge, wonderful, magical, scary-ass, backbiting place, hunh?

Granny strippers. *nods* on par with zombie attack.

I always find BBs like... a year after they were written
I know! I'm still finding BBs I haven't read yet and I thought I got them all! Though finding a new one is like going through an old purse and finding a twenty tucked in a side pocket. :)

[identity profile] portraitofafool.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh., Jared! *shakes head* I went and found it and he's pretty funny... not to mention, judging by the frequency with which he updates, he is already totally hooked. He's a chatty sort though, so not much of a surprise there. But yeah. Disable comments on your pics, sweets, or you're gonna get the bad love. *afraid for him since he is obv. too dense to be afraid for himself* LMAFAO @ his default pic though. I mean, really, Jared? *snorts*

I went rummaging in NCIS fandom a couple of years ago because I could not get over the OLD GUY HOTNESS that is Gibbs and wanted some Gibbs/DiNozzo fic like... yesterday... so I looked and found awful, hateful, unbelievably bitchy wank over there. The Ziva-bashing makes other fandoms and their character bashing look mild in comparison, that shit was death-threat level insane. I started in HP, which is like The Wankiest Fandom Ever and the NCIS lot made the HP lot look polite in comparison.

No, no, granny strippers are not on par with a zombie attack... zombies scare the crap out of me, granny strippers though, while unpleasant to look at, are not likely to try and eat my brains. And if they do, they're just as likely to break a hip trying to come after me, so my chances of escape are good.

That happened to me with SPN/J2 fairytales thing a while back and it was awesome finding all of these lovely new stories I'd never read, all conveniently located in one place. Except... Why so many fics with JDM as the bad guy? I find that happens a lot and it just doesn't gell for me at all. I mean... he seems like such a nice, smiley sort, not the "bite your face just before he cuts your throat" sort. *scratches head*

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Ziva-bshing??? I *loved* Ziva--she was a great replacement for Kate. she was tough and funny and sure of herself, a rare believable tough chick.

And if they do, they're just as likely to break a hip trying to come after me, so my chances of escape are good.

Granny zombie strippers come lurching after you, moaning, "Make it--make it, rain, make it rain...with BRRRAAAAAAAIIINS--"

Listen, that JDM thing confounds me, but more puzzling and ANNOYING is making Tom Welling the bad guy--Thomas! The sweetest, nicest person ever!! Grrrrrr

[identity profile] portraitofafool.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
They were all against Ziva because Tony murdered her boyfriend. Obv. she is to totally be blamed for that absolutely, the fact that Tony murdered her boyfriend was totally justifiable because Ziva is nothing but a bitch-whore who got what she deserved. I remember reading all of that stuff and wondering: Where, exactly, is your logic here people? o_O

So wait... Stripper Granny Zombies are lurching after me whilst sing-groaning Tom Waits songs with ad-libbing? SCARY. I like Waits, but not the Stripper Granny Zombie cover I have going in my head now. THANKS, ROXY.

I've never read fic where Thomas is the bad guy, per se, but they make him a creeper a lot of the time. JDM = Evil RPS Character; Tom Welling = Creepy Guy Having a Wank in Your Shrubs RPS character. Either that or they make Thomas quite dimwitted, which... okay, I adore him and want to touch him inappropriately, but that makes much more sense to me than making him creepy-weird. We need to get to the bottom of why these things happen to nice boys in slash fics.

Jensen's bride gets all these stoopit people bothering her, castigating her for, I don't know--breaking up the greatest imaginary love ever known? My goodness, I enjoy a good J2 as much as the next wackaloon, but for crying out loud--Fanfic=RL? No, no, my frens, no, no.
