live well ★ laugh often

You bring fandom into your job ;)

This was my example to my students:

♠ HI!! Oh you guys I have missed you so much. So I'm back. I realized a few things, mainly that I'm in fandom to be happy, to make myself happy, not to worry about other people. I'm not going to give idiot losers the satisfaction of knowing they affected me so much by sending me away from fandom. Fandom is where I'm the happiest and these past few weeks not really being a part of it have sucked muchly. The past few weeks of not really talking to ya'll has been hell, really.

I learned that for me to be truly happy with fandom is an impossibility, I'm never going to be completely happy with that anon-meme and certain people. But for me to be kind of happy? I just need to revel in the things that make me happy - you all, the boys, the fic, and the art. Everything else is just unnecessary stress. So I've decided I'm going to do what makes me happy, which is write fic, read fic, rec stuff, pimp stuff, and spam the hell out of ya'll with pretty things. ♥

So I'm here, screw anyone who doesn't like it.

Also, thank you to those that checked up on me and what not. I appreciate it more than you know <3

♠ Boys were adorable as always at Comic Con yes? I haven't seen the vids yet, but I will! Work and family have kind of been crazy, but I've seen some pics and gifs and I can't wait to see the vids soon!

♠ My mom, dad, bro, and niece came back from Kenya this past week. Mom brought me back glasses and they're hard to get used to, because the frame is different than my usual one. I keep seeing this big black thing in my peripheral and realize it's part of the frame haha. But I still like 'em, they're pretty :D I also got new clothes to wear for weddings and when we have guests and such. I have issues with some, but that's a weight thing that I don't even want to get into right now.

♠ I have a couple of art recs while I was on 'hiatus':
+ Happy Birthday Jared! picspam by ina_ami
+ Jared Padalecki Picspam by kajmere
+ 4 SPN Wallpapers by artisis
+ Jensen Drawing by ParisKB on deviantart
+ Me and You: A J2 Picspam by mysticwaters
+ Good old J2 Picpsam by canyon_deye (A reminder of why we love J2. God, SO GOOD. Totally uploaded all the headers and have them rotating on my layout.)
+ J2 fanart: Quiet Mornings by nightowl81 (You'll have to join her comm, but worth it, I think)
+ Jensen Portrait by sisterzurda

♠ I really have a problem with icons. I like way too many, I blame how talented fandom is ;) But yeah, I need to delete icons, once again *sighs*

♠ So flist, *chinhands* tell me how you've been! Catch me up! I skimmed the flist very lightly, but ya'll get quite chatty sometimes so I bet I missed something ;)
