YOU GUYS!! HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY??

;D

Thank you so much, for your posts and messages and gifts and all your well-wishes. It really made my day, you don't even know! I love you so much!

So, the month is winding down, and summer is too. I'm taking the time to finally *really* look at the spn_heatwave art pieces. I'm astounded at what's possible, and I wish I knew how to do what they do! I just plug along all dinosaury-like, paper and pencil and lots and lots of erasers. MANY erasers, lol! Still, I'm happy with what I did, so I'm looking forward to seeing what ya'll think! :D


And in other news, DOG! Stop begging for ice cubes and dropping them willy-nilly all over the house!

or should I say CURSE MONTH....

Yesterday, on my way down the stairs, I took a step that made my whole world light up. I felt like my entire inside was filled with exploding mini-lights--for a second all I saw were lights, and then the PAIN. Like I'd gotten shot in the knee with an elephant gun. I couldn't even whine, and you know it's serious biz when I can't whine. Anyhoo, long story short, for most of the morning my knee hated me with a wild passion, but we're on speaking terms again and it's acting like it is as innocent as a new-born babe. As if it had never caused me excruciating pain. Weird. My calf muscle is aching, I guess from hobbling around. Boy, if this month gets more exciting I don't think I'll be able to handle it.



I've got plans for this LJ and bd month. I'm thinking some self-recs, because it's all about me, maybe some talk on original characters, and why it's okay to self-insert. Because I have. And it was fun. ;D

So, this is a thing that makes me ridiculously happy--Michael Rosenbaum is one of the friends that Jason Manns has on his Covers With Friends album. See me grinning! :D :D :D Does that mean that Michael hangs out with them from time to time? It would make my little CWRPSer heart gallop.

Because this is birthday month, I plan to try and post every day. I'm not saying it's going to be interesting....

I think my laptop is heading off to the place all piece of crap good laptops go. More and more problems...*sigh* I think I'll start saving for a new one. That is if the Luddites I live with don't all throw shoes.

So, for this BD post, what shall I do? I know! ( I know! I'll share a picture of a dragonfly with you! )

So, we're coming up on the end of Birthday Month...*unhappysigh*

( It was a great month ),

Written on the fly and posted with a hey, nonny, hey and not much editing. The other version is coming, this one just jumped up and bit me and wouldn't let go.

Title: Dean is Batman, ver.1
Pairings/Characters: Dean, Sam
Rating: PG for violent images
Word Count: 1056
Summary: If Dean is Batman, than Sam is….

( Dean is Batman, ver.1 )

I'm back from the Pit of Voles!! Now to strip my clothes off, fire up the coffee pot and try and turn Dean into Batman!! Well, first I'm going to put on other clothes because naked and hot coffee do not mix. Do not ask me how I know.

Birthday month is over and I didn't give you all the presents I wanted to. :( *all sad* But I kiss you all!

( some stuff about me and my Very Important Thoughts )

I could watch a solid hour of Dean telling Cas, "We ganked those bitches once before; we can do it again." I swear, hottest Dean ever! The rewatch continues! The deleting thing isn't going so well. *shrugs*

And rewatch isn't the only thing that continues! BDay month, heck yeah! Today's installment brings another rec for one of my all-time fav writers, sonofabiscuit77, and her BB offering.




1978 by sonofabiscuit77
Pairings: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC17
Word count: 34k
Warnings: British 1970's AU, expect characters' language and attitudes to reflect that time (homophobia, sexism, racism, class snobbery). Allusions to molestation and the old British boarding school practice of “fagging”. Jared is 17 and Jensen 18 in this fic, I've deliberately avoided using real-life members of their families.

Summary: England, 1978: a time of strikes, class warfare, power shortages and institutional homophobia. At an elite boarding school, scholarship student, Jensen Ackles, grocer's son and fly-half for the school's Rugby First XV, falls in love with fellow boarder, Jared Padalecki, stockbroker's son and aspiring artist. But the path of love never runs smooth, especially for two boys in 1970’s England with the world, and society, against them.

I expected this story to be amazing story and it was. The time and place feel so real, as do the people--and of course Jared and Jensen set so perfectly in it. They're so in character (the character I have for them in my head). The Js stories kind of mirrored each other in this fic in a very interesting way--heartbreaking, but very fitting. I warn you, once you start this story, you won't be able to stop.
(I've edited my comments, again--I kind of went real blabby on my comments this year but I was having such a good time reading! *G*)

On a side note, I like this little trend of not using actual RL family names. For me, it makes the fic more like a role that the Js are playing. I'm not especially bothered when folks use real names and sometimes it's the only way to go, it just makes it more fun for me when they don't. Oh yes, sorry, it's a totally shallow thing on my end.


Tune in for massive whining later on this evening. Bring raincoats and hankies...maybe tranquilizer darts. I know right? Can hardly wait! :D
