Happy (Belated) Birthday, dizzojay!!!

2017-04-02T08:45:12Z

I was out all day yesterday and meant to do a scheduled post...and promptly forgot. *hangs head in shame*

So, a day late but still from the bottom of my heart,

HAPPY FRIGGIN' SPANKDAY TO YA!!!

Always remember: You are

:D :D :D

Rise Up. Speak Out. Stand Together.

Thank you, Zachary Quinto.

If you feel helpless or aren't in the US to easily join protests or marches, donate to the ACLU. I did. Every damn dollar counts these days.

Or do what someone I know did (before the Muslim Ban, when everyone was "only" up in arms about the abortion stuff):

I was angry at Donald Trump and so I donated $35 to Planned Parenthood as a gift in his name. Then I put the White House address as the 'notification recipient address' so they will mail him a Thank You card. Everybody else who is angry today should donate as well (the minimum you can donate is $5 so if you're angry but also poor, you should be able to still help) : www.plannedparenthood.org/donate

This? Is awesome trolling that helps at the same time. Kudos to Sarah for doing this.

Something I really don't want to watch...

Clearly, the scariest season yet.

Thanks to elrhiarhodan for finding this. [Source]

2017 future meme

2017-01-14T14:06:18Z

Snaffled from all over my flist...

Grab the book nearest you, turn to page 117. The second sentence will be your life for 2017.

Okay, so I had to find the nearest book in English obviously and there's a stack of books nearby with the following two books among them: Douglas Adams' "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and Anne Bishop's "The Black Jewels Trilogy". (Eclectic taste, you say? Diverse interests, says I.)

Anyway, here's the quote from Hitchhiker: "The old man frowned as he stepped in."

And here's the quote from Black Jewels: "If not, the whole damn court was acting queer."

So, uh...okay then? LOL! I mean, I like older men so JDM, please feel free to join JIB con this year and step into my life by way of a tacklehug!photo op. *g*

I choose to interpret "queer" as "gay" and yes, I plan on filling my life with lots and lots of gay fanfiction. :D

Happiest of all Happy Spankdays, milly_gal

2017-01-12T19:11:01Z

It's been exactly one year...

Happy New Year!

2017-01-01T00:04:46Z

Exactly one year ago, after a truly craptastic 2015, I said that things could only get better in 2016.

And then 2016 happened in all its glory.

(Sidenote: FU, 2016. FU sideways. Repeatedly.)

So I'm somewhat reluctant to now say that things can only get better in 2017. But you know what? 2017 will be the year of the Jensen Hug and the Padahug and no matter what other fuckalicious things will be thrown at me, I'll get my hugs and it'll be awesome and counteract any bad stuff that might come my way. SO THERE.

(I hope I didn't just jinx JIB in general and my trip in particular with the statement above... *gulps*)

HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR TO ALL Y'ALL!!! ♥

No. Just no.

2016-12-27T19:14:49Z

RIP, Carrie.

*is devastated*

Happy Birthday, beelikej!

2016-12-26T10:32:47Z

I felt this was appropriate, considering. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

Happy Birthday from me and the boys! ♥

SERIOUSLY?!

2016-12-26T06:44:45Z

George Michael, too?!

You can seriously fuck off, 2016. Like, right this fucking moment.

*fumes*

First ever Carpool Karaoke with James Corden episode, featuring George.

RIP George Michael.

State of the Gaby

2016-11-18T17:38:31Z

So, I've been sick for over a week now - it started Wednesday evening but I woke up Thursday morning with a raging headcold that turned into a sinusitis with some serious respiratory problems over the weekend. Yesterday, my ENT doc informed me that my right ear was also infected.

I've basically been in a semi-vegitative state since last Friday. I missed A LOT of stuff obviously, since I've only really been back online today. So, apologies for the radio silence but there's no way I will manage to catch up on my flist. If I missed anything important or fun or, ya know, ridiculously hot 'n sexy, please leave a link to it in the comments.

Speaking of LJ - WTF?! Am I the only one who gets redirected to the actual entry when I click on the LJ-cut link?! This is annoying, to say the least. What's a cut for if you can't expand the post by clicking on it while remaining on your own damn flist feed?!

But then! THEN! I come here to post this update, and the update page is all fucked up! What is this?!

Or this?!

Or this?!?!

And especially, FFS, THIS???

(Sidenote: since I have no way to access my scrapbook - no, even if I open the scrapbook, I can no longer upload to it! - I had to use a different browser to log in under a different LJ username, an account that uses the new style, and lo! I could upload pics there! So I've copy-pasted the html coding from there. If this clusterfuck has anything to do with the fact that I refused to switch to the new style, well, FU, LJ. I will NOT use the new style. Make the old style work. NOW. Fuckers processed the automatic payment for my regular account today of all days. FIGURES. *fumes*)

If this is what LJ is like now, I doubt I'll be pretty active for the time being. Reading my flist is frustrating enough with the damn cut not working properly. Posting is clearly a nightmare. I haven't tried to comment anywhere yet, but chances are that'll be fucked up, too. *shakes fist*

Considering that I'll have quite a bit of fic posting to do in the next few weeks, I'm going to smash my head against the nearest wall right now in preparation for things to come.

Allow me to let John Oliver sum up this year so far - with the LJ fuck-up clearly being the cherry on top.

Now let's hope this works. Since I can't preview my own entry, I have no clue whether any of the embedded links actually work...

ETA: yay! No way to set security to "friends only"! Well done, LJ! Guess I'll just let everyone see my rant against the world in general and you in particular!

2016 - The Year The World Ended

2016-11-09T07:08:35Z

There aren't enough NOPEs in the world to convey my feelings right now.

'Murica, why did you do this to yourself?! (And the rest of the world, for that matter.)

There's a tweet out there that sums up the situation perfectly (they read it out loud on the radio so I have no actual link to the source, sorry):

9/11 - Never forget

11/9 - Always regret

Well, that was fast!

2016-11-07T17:51:51Z

A few months ago, at a con... (paraphrased)

Fan: "Hey, Jensen, how did Jared react when he heard you and Daneel were going to have twins?"
Jensen: "He walked into the kitchen where Gen was and said, "Hey, honey, did you hear the news about the Ackles? They not only caught up to us, they passed us." (beat) "Get in the bedroom!"

Today, on Live With Kelly...

Jared: "I'm a father of two, about to be a father of three in March."

Can I just say I love how competitive Jared truly is. LOL! Congrats on the third Pada-Baby!

The most amazing comm quicky_bang is currently running a new round, and the wonderful kuwlshadow chose my silly little crack fic Dawn of a New Age and created the following brilliant banner for it:

I cannot tell you how ridiculously pleased I am - this is exactly how I pictured squirrel!Dean and moose!Sam. :D

Thank you so much, kuwlshadow, for this beautiful banner. I love it at least as much as Dean loves pie! ♥

If anyone would like to shower kuwlshadow with feedback, please leave it here. :)

Did I mention that I am easily amused?

2016-07-13T20:17:43Z

I mean, amoosed.

Because I am, once again, a lemming...

2016-07-10T20:43:34Z

Stole this from elrhiarhodan (who's at fault for everything).

Rules: Go to this website and enter 14 characters from any fandom or fandoms (or whatever you’re into) and match them to the order of the following questions.

1. Your Mom/Dad - Bobby Singer
Hell, yes! Jackpot. He's an awesome dad.

2. Your Sibling - Jensen Ackles
I can definitely live with that. :D I bet he'd be an awesome big brother. *ponders* *double-checks birthdates* Oh crap. He'd be my little brother! *boggles* I feel so old. LOL! Hmm, I think he'd be one of the typical annoying little brothers, but I would love him to death anyway. ♥

3. Your Grandma/Grandpa - Jethro Gibbs
He's one hell of a great gramps! All the things he did with me when I was little, all the things he taught me or showed me. Yup, great choice.

4. Haunts You - Tony DiNozzo
Huh. Why would you do that, Tony? You're not even dead! (Unless you count the character assassination in the season finale. Yes, I'm still bitter. #NeverForget) Other than that, I can live with you haunting me. We can watch movies together all night. *g*

5. Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend - Sheriff Donna
Hells to the yes! I'd totally date her. She's awesome and gorgeous and funny. I love Donna!

6. Your Ex - Peter Burke
Oh well. It was nice while it lasted, Peter, but it just wasn't meant to be. Still, I clearly have a thing for men and women with badges... *g*

7. Your Best Friend - Mozzie
Best friend you could ever wish for! He knows everything and everyone, can get you everything and everyone, and has ways of making things and people disappear, if necessary.

8. Proposed To You - Matthew Keller
That's sweet of you, my beloved misunderstood boy, but I think it wouldn't work between us. I know your heart belongs to Neal, baby.

9. Your Boss - El Burke
She's smart and strong and dedicated and one hell of a good business woman. A tough but fair boss. Couldn't ask for a better one.

10. Random Person You Met at a Bar. - Jared Padalecki
Yeah well, that happens when you accidentally hang out in his bar long enough, right? He's gotta show up there sometime, right? So I can bump into him and spill my beer on him, right? Totally not on purpose, of course, right? *coughs*

11. Your Rival - Sam Winchester
Rival for what? LOL! Sam and me, we iz besties!

12. Gave You Your First Kiss - Papa Winchester
Well, what can I say? I have a thing for older men...

13. Get Drunk and Sings Karaoke With - Dean Winchester
THIS IS CANON!!! LOL!

14. Gave You Your Favorite Dessert - Neal Caffrey
You all know that Neal makes great soups but you have no idea how amazing his home-made tiramisu is. Yum. :D

I am easily amused, part 846921

Seriously, I LOLed in RL and scared my cats.

Dollar Store Bargain!

2016-07-10T13:54:18Z

Snaffled from wings128...because, really, for that kind of money? BARGAIN!

I'd like a scruffy, funny, tall guy with dark hair and great hands, please.

*ponders*

Why, yes, please!

And yes, you too, Jensen.

Stop pouting, Jared. You fit the bill, too.

...not to mention... (though he's not much taller than me, so you're only on fourth place, sorry, Matty)

Happy Spankday, Hawk!

2016-06-26T12:32:09Z

Wishing my dearest hawk_soaring a very happy birthday!!! :D Love ya, sweetie! ♥ ♥ ♥
