What she said. Anyone?

My family's here for graduation weekend (Sunday is the actual ceremony, but there's all kinds of random stuff to do before then, because my school is crazy like that) so until Monday night or so, I'm only going to be around sporadically. After that I'll be driving cross-country with my brother, but luckily he too loves the internet, so I foresee a lot of finding places with wireless in our future.

Anyway, saw the ep, so don't worry about spoiling me, but I think I need to watch it again before I'll have any real opinions on it, since I was pretty distracted while I was watching it and also missed the first five minutes.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Have I ever mentioned my love for Mitch Hedberg? It is deep and pure. If you haven't heard of him, he was a stand-up comedian, and he was really awesome. I first listened to this album in its entirety while standing in a room in Germany last year when we were all supposed to be leaving and going somewhere else, and yet none of us could budge because then we might have missed a moment of the hilarity.

For instance:

"I went to a pizzeria, I ordered a slice of pizza, the fucker gave me the smallest slice possible. If the pizza was a pie chart for what people would do if they found a million dollars, the fucker gave me the "donate it to charity" slice. I would like to exchange this for the "keep it!""

And my life in a single joke:

"I sit at my hotel at night, I think of something that's funny, then I go get a pen and I write it down. Or if the pen's too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of ain't funny."

And many other hilarious things for which I will not spoil you. Mitch Hedberg is really all about the delivery -- even though a ton of his stuff is hilarious if you just see it written out, it is SO much more hilarious after you've heard his voice and you've got the intonation in your head. Take! Enjoy!

Mitch All Together

I'm really smart, yo. I uploaded five Cake albums for regala_electra this morning, and then I never posted the links.

I can do tracklistings too if anyone wants them!

Anyway, I'm in San Diego, and it's lovely if a little bit cool and overcast. Today I learned that trying to play ultimate frisbee on the beach while hung-over is a poor choice. Surprising, isn't it? Also, that walkawayslowly kid, I really like her or something. I talked to her for an extraordinarily long time while drunk last night, which I figure is just repayment for that one time she drunk-dialed me and talked to me in Whale. ("Helloooooooooo, I aaaaaaaaaam druuuuuuuunk.")

Oh yeah, and spn_j2_bigbang summaries got revealed! theoret and I are behind this guy:

Title: Hey, It Could Happen

Summary: This is the story of how unicorns saved Sam and Dean. It's a little embarrassing. Dean would like to make very clear that he has absolutely not befriended the unicorns. Also, he totally doesn't have a thing for his brother.

YUP.

Title: Workin' Hard for the Money
Author: causeways
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Word Count: 1,807
Disclaimer: Jared and Jensen belong to themselves and are not actually fucking in real life, nor is either of them a hooker.
Summary: After Jared gives Jensen the most fantastic blowjob of his life, Jensen runs into him again, and they go back to Jensen's house and fuck.
Author's Notes: This is the sequel to balefully's J2 hooker fic Heart of Gold, which she wrote for me and which you'll want to read first. I seem to have agreed with everyone who thought it needed a sequel, because I went and wrote one. Thanks to walkawayslowly for all kinds of good advice, as always, and to vinylroad for the title.

( Workin' Hard for the Money )

Dude, today's the one year anniversary of when I first posted SPN fic! How crazy! The Placement of Water and Lead was the fic (Sam/Dean, NC-17, 10,969 words) -- post-Heart Evil!Sam yay!

Ahaha, I just tallied it up: I've written over two hundred thousand words of SPN and CW RPS in the past year. 206,660 words, to be exact. MADNESS. But really fun madness. :D

Also? I, uh, seem to be doing spn_j2_bigbang after all. Heh. There's this fic theoret and I wrote a billion years ago and then never posted because it was in bad need of a rewrite, soooo yeah. That's happening! First time Wincest with a hearty dose of craaaack.

aljslkjdfa, this is ALL walkawayslowly's FAULT. And maybe a little bit ignited's. VILE ENABLERS.

ETA: dark_reaction thinks I don't love her, BUT I DO.

I really don't want to say a lot about these two fics because I don't want to give anything away, but first you should read:

Me and the Devil Blues by britomart_is
Sam/Dean | R | 2,200 words
It’s been nine months since the hellhounds dragged Dean into the Pit, and Sam drives along the coast highway with an empty passenger seat beside him. He hums along to Black Sabbath in the tape deck—Dean’s music, not his, but Sam learned to make concessions a long time ago.

And then you should REALLY REALLY REALLY read:

Burn My Body Down By the Highway Side by britomart_is
Sam/Dean | NC-17 | 3,500 words

That second one won't make a bit of sense without the first, and the first one is totally awesome, but the SECOND, omg, I can't even deal. Seriously, I don't want to say anything else at all. Just. SO GOOD.

I had an extremely WTF-inducing day, including but not limited to the part where I saw Harrison Ford in a convertible, and I have soooo friggin' much work to do on my thesis tomorrow, so OF COURSE one of my hallmates is throwing a very loud party. I've been trying to go to bed for like an HOUR now. FTL, hallmate. I would love to type up a big post about the many ways in which today was insane, or to read that thing memphis86 sent me omg but I am kind of TOO TIRED TO PROCESS THOUGHT. alsjdf.

OMFG. Okay so, reallycorking has been one of my favorite fanartists for approximately a gazillion years. She's been drawing pretty much exclusively (if not exclusively!) for HP for quite a while, but dudes, it's so damned awesome. And literally two nights ago I randomly spent a couple hours making walkawayslowly look at a bunch of RC's art (Merrin was all, "I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE MAKING ME LOOK AT HP HET. And yet I cannot STOP.") like this, and this, and this, and OMFG THIS.

And then TONIGHT reallycorking posted SAM/DEAN FANART. Seriously, I DON'T THINK I COULD BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT THIS IF I TRIED. SO MUCH AWESOME. GO. LOOK.

Drunk!Sam and Dean

EEEEE.

The authors just got revealed over at the spn_gleeweek [guess the author competition], so I get to claim my story!

Title: In the Telling
Author: causeways
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Word Count: 1,391
Disclaimer: Belongs to Kripke, not to me!
Summary: After Sam gets him out of the deal, Dean fucks a lot of girls.
Author's Notes: Thanks to memphis86 for looking this over!

( In the Telling )

I sort of want to insert a long paragraph of blah about warnings and how I hate them (this is related because in spite of the fact that Dean sleeps with like a dozen girls in my spn_gleeweek fic I would never, ever warn for het in it), but I think I'll save that for another day.

Right now, I want to point you over to tvm's [accidental schmoop meme] where I got coerced into writing ~400 words of Sam/Dean, gruffness, the giver being more surprised than the receiver. Coerced, yup. Writing that was REALLY PAINFUL, let me just tell you. *g*

And speaking of the accidental schmoop meme and of the GtA competition, have some shortfic recs!

Jared/Jensen, off-season, missing each other by dontyouwaitup
PG | 565 words | from the accidental schmoop meme
I love the matter-of-fact-ness and also their banter SO MUCH.

Sam/Dean, taking a bath together by memphis86
R-ish | 556 words | from the accidental schmoop meme
My comment on this was something along the lines of, "I just made a happy noise so high-pitched that ONLY THE DOGS HEARD IT." First time Sam/Dean in a BATHTUB.

The lady of the right hand by fleshflutter
pre-series Dean-centric gen | PG-13 | 1,789 words | from spn_gleeweek
Dean's last night in New Orleans with that voodoo gig.
This is one of those fics that makes me wonder why I don't read more gen than I do. Or maybe it's just that fleshflutter's really awesome. Dean and a TOTALLY FANTASTIC original character.

Joie de Vivre by memphis86
Sam/Dean | PG-13 | 1,906 words | from spn_gleeweek
This is just a really cool short fic that TOTALLY MESSES WITH YOUR MIND. I'm a big fan of that. Sam in the South of France!

The Eyes Have It by __tiana__
Jared/Jensen | PG-13 | 1,200ish words
This isn't actually from either the accidental schmoop meme OR from the GtA entries, but it's short and also all about Jared realizing that there are 28374 pictures of Jensen staring at him like he is COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH HIM, so I really don't see how this could not get included.

*

I haven't actually read all of the spn_gleeweek fics yet, so there may be a part two to this after I get my act together. And now back to doing . . . whatever it is you do at your internship after you are already finished researching replacement refrigerator parts. Writing fic?? We shall see.

First off, who remembers stilettocamp? It used to be this great comm where you could go every day and post your word count goal for the day and what you actually achieved and also little teasery snippets of what you wrote, and it was REALLY AWESOME. You got to brag about how much you wrote or have people beat you up if you didn't write as much as you meant to (but the good kind of beating up!) and uh, sometimes if you were new to the fandom and someone named balefully was writing a SPN version of The Devil Wears Prada you creepily stalked their snippets and flailed at them. BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO DID THAT.

*cough* ANYWAY, the point is, Big Bang is nearly due, and loads of people still haven't finished their drafts yet, so Lucy and I figured it would be really awesome to have a place to go cheer each other on and things. So go over there! Post snippets! The accountability post for today is right here!

And now onto the explanation that comes before the Very Important Poll:

causeways: personally? i'd rather sleep with S1 Jared.
memphis86: ugh am so there with you. because S1 BAAAANGS.
causeways: RIGHT. and he was all YOUNG AND CUTE.
memphis86: and LANKY. LEGGY.
causeways: and now he is like. MANBEAST. which, you know. i wouldn't say NO.

memphis86: ughhh, ASYLUM. AND SCARECROW. AND AHHHH.
causeways: and and and. the HOODIES.
memphis86: and the thing where he wore short sleeved tees over long sleeved shirts. instead of just Dean's old flannel.
causeways: RIGHT. he used to be so COLLEGE BOY.
memphis86: or, INSTEAD OF JUST DEAN. NAKED WITH DEAN WRAPPED AROUND HIS WAIST LIKE A BELT.
causeways: AHAHAHA. dean's all clinging on like, "HAI THAR. *waves awkwardly*"
memphis86: and Sam's just like, "*looks down* Shit what did I DRINK?" but yes! he was more college than lumberjack.
causeways: exactly. and i mean, i LOVE flannel on a dude. LOVE IT. but i miss sam's nine thousand layers.
memphis86: YES!
causeways: he used to be like one of those joke christmas presents. that you just keep unwrapping and unwrapping. and you never hit the actual present.
memphis86: AHAHHAHAHA
causeways: that was S1 sam! and S3 sam is like, SHIT, MY MANTITTIES ARE BUSTING OUT OF MY BEATER.
memphis86: MANTITTIES. SAMMOGRAM! THAT IS WHEN DEAN CHECKS SAM'S MANTITTIES WITH HIS HANDS. AND HIS MOUTH
causeways: ahaha, it is TRUE.

PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE:

( S1: The Boy of a Thousand Layers )

( S3: The Man of a Thousand Muscles )

Why yes, I am only posting one picture of S3 "It's SAM, DAMN IT" Sambeast, but then YOU ALREADY KNEW I WAS BIASED.

So okay, THE TIME HAS COME.

Poll #1175093 THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN.
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

S1 Sammy vs. S3 SAMBEAST: YOU MAY ONLY CHOOSE ONE.

ETA: walkawayslowly pointed out that S3 Sam the Manbeast wears just as many layers as S1 Sammy. He too is an onion! A very muscley onion!

Originally the plan for this was to change my username on April Fool's Day and say I was abandoning you all for bandom, but then I couldn't decide on a username in time and I figured it might be mean to do that NOW, since I already played one practical joke on you all this week. Ahaha, OOPS.

ANYWAY. katjad just became PRONOUNCEABLE. causeways! CRAZY STUFF. But don't worry, you are still totally welcome to call me kat-jad or catjihad or HEY YOU. Whatever floats your boat!

Ugh, grossness. I got drunk both last night and the night before last, and on both occasions then proceeded to eat ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF FOOD. I blame
