Hiatus, it is nearly over!!
*twirls*
:)
So i'm posting a few bits and bobs of things that i've 'collected'. Firstly, two people had little drabble-prompty type posts up and i did a prompt and so got ficlets! Yay!
A little Sam'n'Dean from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
witling, full of teh angst, but excellent. My prompt was just 'Supernatural', so she had free rein. And then something a bit more light-hearted from kellifer_fic, when i said i wanted the boys being boys and John about to toss them in the river in a sack. Heeeeee! Thank you, ladies.
Then,lunabee34 had this 'i'll ask you some questions' meme thing and i just....felt like it. :)
1. Do you have a garden or grow plants of any kind? If so what do you grow and what's your gardening philosophy?
I don't have a garden. I have a patch of bricked-in um....dirt, for lack of a better word around my front porch. The previous owners made it and put i don't know what in it. It was mostly weeds and a huge mullein plant when we moved in. We cleared it out and transplanted all the mint from the yard into it, so it's now mostly full of mint, and some lilies my mom gave me for my birthday. My philosopy? gardening makes you *hot*. And there are bugs that will nibble on me and make big welts. I don't actually like gardening at all. I like bulbs and things that grow on their own, and ground cover that takes over so no weeding is needed. I also don't water. They have to be tough plants or native stuff. I do *not* have a green thumb. But i'll pay someone who does to make things pretty! :)
2. What is the most unusual and interesting tattoo you've ever encountered?
Hrmmmmmmmm....that's a tough one. Mostly 'cause of my sucky memory. I think the ones i've liked best have been ones that are big, epic tattoos, like all the main characters from a tv show or movie with appropriate background and such that totally cover a back or an arm. I also will always remember the first really neat tribal piece i ever saw, before it got so popular. It was on a guy's ribs/side/hip, and it *totally* fit his body and was just really amazing and sexy. You hardly ever see tribal that *fits* the body it's on.
3. What's the one adventure you didn't write for Spike and Xander that you wish you had (or still might get to one of these days)?
Xander post-hyena who never really recovered, who is still a bit hyena and a bit alienated from the Scoobies, who meets up with Spike and Angel and Dru and...stuff ensues. I actually have the start of it on my hd. I need to work on that.....
4. Perfume--love it, hate it, indifferent? Have a favorite scent?
Mostly hate it, as most people seem to only know how to bathe in it, rather than wear it. A lot of perfumes give me an instant sick headache. Most of the perfumes i put on me change once they're on and my body chemistry makes them icky. Exception? White Shoulders. My mom wore it, i wear when i wear perfume, and i adore it.
5. If you could travel anywhere in the world for a vacation, where would you go and what would you do once you got there?
Scotland!! And mostly i would wander around in a daze, soaking it all in. Walking on the beach, in the hills, just breathing a lot and getting sniffly and collecting rocks and leaves. My dream Scottish holiday is to take a walking tour. I read up on it. It started in Edinburgh, i believe, and you could go all the way to Loch Ness or John O'Groats. Walking the whole way, and camping or staying over in bed and breakfasts or whatever, your choice. Heaven!
*and, um, i'd dearly like to spot Mr. Robert Carlyle on the streets of Glasgow, but that would be extra....* :)
And, lastly - mostly lastly - for some strange reason,essene wanted to see the contents of my purse. Ha! I told her it was boring, but she insisted, so....
See? Dull. There's my bag, and then...let's see. Check book and pen, my wonderful Kitty-face wallet whose zipper is dying, which is a huge *woe*. My phone, in case, with fun blue jay pin, my probably illegal butterfly knife that i've owned for years and years.... Then, from my little inside pocket...lime-green post-it pad and a little pad of white paper in the flowered cover. It looks like a matchbook but it's notepaper - so neat! Next to that is my sewing kit from the Raddison hotel, and then emergency safety pins, spare front door key, nail clippers, toothpicks, sunscreen wipes, and a lighter. Wheeeee!
Yeah, yeah, okay. You can wake up now. :)

I shan't be reading the Wincest prompt fics. *g*
Your purse is scarily tidy.
no subject
:)
No wincest? Oh my.
*pokes you*
I dislike clutter. I also dislike a heavy purse making my shoulder hurt.
I used to carry a bigger one, years ago, and always ended up hauling around everybody *elses* stuff. Grrrrr!
:)
no subject
*pokes you*
Nope. I've tried and, worse than than the squick, I don't believe it. Brotherly love, no sexual attraction is what I see. But, hey, I have plenty of Wincesty friends who aren't bothered that I'd much rather read an adorable J2 by
I get that, totally. My back is so much better since I started carrying a tiny handbag. Just because we're women doesn't mean we should carry around a load of rubbish.
no subject
In my mind, of course. :)
J2 is totally adorable. The *boys* are adorable.
*spins them*
Yes - hump your own rubbish! Heeee.
no subject
Weird, because I do see smokin' hot chemistry between Jared and Jensen onscreen but, again, don't really see a sexual thing.
What I'd like to see, and this is really weird because I'm about as interested in het fic as you are, is Sam and Dean finding partners who really understand that their brother will always come first, that it's a relationship which can never be broken.
Having said all that, I completely get that you don't think Sam/Dean is real, any more than I think J2 is real. We can read what we like and have a good time. *g*
no subject
I *do* enjoy good gen fic, so long as it doesn't end with them as non-hunters. That would just bum me out - as dangerous and lonely as the hunting life is, it's what i *like* about them.
I adore the boys in real life, as they seem to be such good friends, and so in tune with each other. Their constant little smirks and grins and looks and physical closeness certainly bolsters the illusion, doesn't it!
:)
no subject
I think that's the crux of our difference. I don't think it's inevitable because there are other outlets for their sexuality on the road.
I *do* enjoy good gen fic
I don't. Sorry, but my thing is romance, preferably with sexual content though it's not essential. I've read good character pieces but wouldn't seek them out.
Their constant little smirks and grins and looks and physical closeness certainly bolsters the illusion, doesn't it!
It so does! Fortunately, we're not in the tinhat world where we think they're actually a gay couple. That's more than creepy. *eep*
no subject
Oh, man. The tin-hatters are *nutso*!! Remember those pictures from that soap-box derby thing, they worse those jerseys with numbers on them? Those numbers were somehow 'magic' numbers that spelled out their love!! Or some such insanity. I didn't really get it, frankly, but my *gods*. Read the comments on a really tin-hat site and you just boggle at the insanity. What i particularly despise are the people who are just *hateful* toward their girlfriends. Even going so far as to be rude and obnoxious to them in person! I mean, wth? That's just...beyond the pale.
no subject
They're just weird!!!
Point 1: Love the boys? You want them to be happy.
Point 2: If happy isn't quite what you envisaged, still want them to be happy.
Point 3: If you truly believe their g/fs are cockblocking 'hos, go to a psychiatrist because sanity has left the building.
no subject
Which, yes, unrealistic when it comes to Show, as the boys don't talk to each other *at all*, the goobers.
Point 4: If you don't seek help, please stay *away* from me and my fandom, omg, i would like to actually enjoy it! Oh and -
Point 5: Dear gods in heaven, do *not* show up in someone's hotel room wearing a freaking wedding dress.
*flails*

I love you now, Kitty_Poker. You rock. I could potentially enjoy SPN if my wife felt this way about it. Sadly, the whole "Wincest" infatuation has spoiled my ability to take this show seriously or allow myself to give it a fair try. I've been forced to boycott the series in order to distance myself from this vibe, because I was exposed to "Wincest" before I ever watched episodes of the show. *sigh*
Yes. I would watch SPN with Kitty_Poker. :D
no subject
I'd watch with you, too, and do give it another go, perhaps when your wife isn't in the room. It really is one of the best shows around, and maybe you can distance yourself from a vibe you don't like.
*hugs*
no subject
Yes, I have an incest squick, but more than just that. I feel like I have an insight into 'brotherly love' that all those panting wincesters will never really understand - and the concept of these two intelligent, clever, insightful brothers falling into an incestuous scenario just doesn't work in my brain. At all. EVAR.
She and I have enjoyed marathoning Buff and Angel and Firefly and Deadwood and Rome and Six Feet Under and sooooo many great series together, and both enjoy much the same things in literature and cinema - but this? I just can't seem to escape the Wincest vibe, the poison in the well, no matter how interesting the show looks to me from what I have seen. It's just the king-squick-trump-card that I can't get past. ;-)
Thanks for your reply to my comment! =)
no subject
I do see the point she and other Wincesters have made, that these are unique circumstances where they can't get close to anyone else, but that makes it all about sex. Life isn't all about sex.
Welcome, hon, and if you want further discussion, feel free to PM me or comment on my journal.
no subject
Well. *I* might. Heheh.
Thanks again! I might eventually get past this, with more therapy from other sane minds like yours.
=^,^=

As if i would be that petty.
It's a pity you can't 'distance' yourself. I'd sit and watch the show with you and not say a peep about any sort of brotherly anything, if you really wanted to watch it. It's not like i prance around the living room crowing about how 'now they're gonna fuck!' or anything.
So, you know, any time you want to watch, speak up. There are tons of things to be happy about in the show that have nothing whatsoever to do with the boys and their imaginary sex lives. *And plenty of their 'real' sex lives as we're shown early on that Dean is a playa'.*
*snerk*
no subject
Agreed, your purse is scarily organized. Might I add here, in my own embarrassment, that I'm pretty sure my purse is the same size (if not a bit smaller), and I've got like three times the stuff in there. LOL
no subject
And oh my. I just...maybe i'm boring, or maybe it's 'cause i spend more time at home than out, i just don't *need* any more stuff. I go out to the grocery or the post office or to get the Bebe from school or something and this is all the stuff i need to accomplish what i set out to do. Lucky, i guess! :)
no subject
My mother once got stopped by security at the airport because of her purse. She had so much stuff in it that the scanner couldn't read it. The guards were so impressed, they called everyone on shift to come and watch her unload it all just so they could see how she got everything back in. LOL
I'm not quite as bad as my mother, but I've got a lot of unnecessary stuff in there. Like a bottle of honey. *gr*
no subject
*snerk*
Silly.

Oh I hear you about the perfumes as well. What I hate is that every laundry detergent feels the need to perfume the crap out of their products. I can barely go through the aisle to get the stuff I need! And all the perfumed lotions and body products, which of course make me itch to high heaven. I vote for less perfume.
It depends where you are really, about half of the states have banned p&c of switchblades however it's totally illegal to import butterfly's into the states but you can still sell them. *crazy world* Also you carry so little. *marvels* I usually end up with a ton of stuff that I don't even know where it came from, like one shoe lace. *marvels*
Kittens on the porch seem a bit like heaven. How has the weather been there lately?
no subject
YES. The laundry aisle makes me want to heave. I kind of hold my breath and hurry. So very, very gross!
Knives of a certain length are illegal, and this one is a wee bit too long. But it don't whip it out much so, heh. I don't worry about it. I *would* be pissed if it got taken away from me, though.
The weather has been *divine*! So lovely. We've really lucked out this summer and only had a few days of extreme heat/humidity. Right now i'd wager it's in the mid-sixties outside, and it was *much* cooler overnight. And it'll only be in the low seventies all week, so - yay! Windows open! :)

I would read the hell out of that Spander story. Oh yes indeedy.

Tabaqui, the Hiatus Slayer!
::hearts::
::muchly::
So please don't stab me with your butterfly knife.
1) Gardening makes you hot? Yeah, it does!
::leers::
2) Weirdest I've ever seen was someone who had their own name tattooed on their arm. It was a couple of years ago, but to this day, words fail me.
3) Dude. WRITE THAT NOW, AND POST!
4) Ditto, except for the White Shoulders, bit. Don't think I've ever smelled that. But I wasn't a fan of perfume or cologne, at least till I stumbled across the wonder that is musk. Now, well. I tend to bath in it. And literally could, according to the box. . . .
5) Glasgow and Edinburgh to visit, yes, but if I could settle anywhere in Scotland? Aberdeen! So pretty--and it's both city and town. Plus, I like to say Aber-DEEN :D
And fic! Teh angst, and teh tossed-in-the-river fic!
::pirouettes::

Re: Tabaqui, the Hiatus Slayer!
OMG, you're as bad as Cat. I *hate* being hot.
*whaps you*
People and names. WTH? I do *not* see the attraction.
HA. I'm writing....stuff. I'll get to it maybe.
*la*
I love White Shoulders - give it a sniff some time when you're in a store that carries it. It's a bit floral, maybe, for your tastes, but it actually smells *good* on me, which is nice. Most perfumes just *don't*.
Heeeee. I just wanna *be there*. In Scotland. Breathing the air and touching the earth. Yes, i am weird.
*spins you*

I *do* like your tattoo. Very spiffy.

Heeee! I like being able to put my hand into my purse and just take out what i need, not fumbling or digging.

Don't plan on having anything else in with it though, the Fennel will annihilate it in short order. We had a bit of land where it was coming from one side and Morning Glories were coming in on the other. I was contemplating letting them have some kind of invasive species death match, but decided clear it out in the interests of avoiding everything else in the yard destroyed.
