rambling rose

[roxy]

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

LMAO! You funny lady.

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?

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

*snickers madly*
I do like a biker's legs, too. :)

His new toy.....do you mean twitter? I predict woe.
