live well ★ laugh often

Okay, I have an idea and I want to know if I should go ahead with it or scrap it?

You've heard of stuff like ipsy, birchbox, etc where you get a monthly present? What about a monthly SWAP? I'm doing this in my other teacher blog world, and thought it would be SO COOL to do it in this fandom world too!

Basically, with a $10 limit per month, and a theme, you exchange mail with someone in the fandom world. You write them a letter, get to know them a little, continue that if you want, but then get a new buddy the next month!

What do you guys think? Should I try organizing that?

EDIT: It would be a month to month thing. If you can't do one month cause you can't afford it or whatever, you can wait till the next one!

+ Quite a few people have added me without actually saying anything. Guys, I don't add back automatically, but I am willing to! Talk to me, say hi, I don't bite! *insert common unless you ask nicely joke* A couple of people have done the same on Twitter and I don't add on Twitter unless we are friends here. That place is super private, sorry :/

+ Happy Birthday Mrs. Danneel Ackles, you gorgeous and lucky woman. Let's read filthy fic with your husband (and his best friend), yeah? ;) And where is this fic, people? *grabby hands*

+ Happy Birthday Adam Levine, you sexy, talented, tattooed man. :)

+ I'm planning on a lengthy rec post tomorrow, yay!

+ I finally feel halfway normal, definitely a plus. Just in time for school, haha. How much fail is it that while I spent most of spring break in bed, it was spent sick in bed?

+ This comment at dailyjsquared which made me smile huuuuuuge.

♥ How cute are those puppy vgifts? haha

♥ How cute ALSO was the Misha Collins pic with his baby boy, West? No idea what I'm talking about? Look here and here. To clarify, I'm not usually the biggest Misha fan, but BABY!!!

♥ WHERE IS ALL THE BABY FIC. C'mon fandom!

♥ I watched 'The Breakfast Club' a while back and "Don't You Forget About Me" became a quick favorite of mine. Plus it features in One Tree Hill and one of my favorite scenes AND in Rona and my Big Bang fic and I heard it TWICE today. Once randomly on the radio (which made me grin wide, let me tell you) and again at the end of Easy A (SUCH A CUTE MOVIE. I have a crush on Emma Stone now, seriously). Speaking of movies, where are the J2 adaptations of Going the Distance and Easy A and hopefully Life As We Know It as well??!! abouttwoboys or whenboymeetsboy needs to happen again haha.

♥ Also speaking of music, does anyone have the DL to "Don't You Forget About Me"? Or the soundtrack to Rent? (Just saw that recently too. That was pretty awesome too!

♥ It sometimes amazes me how absolutely BRILLIANT fandom is. In art, fic, meta, everything. We have so SERIOUSLY amazing people here. I'm humbled sometimes by it's awesomeness and in those tough times, try to focus on that instead ;)

♥ It is mini_nanowrimo time again. I'm debating signing up for it. I'd love to write everyday, but I'm not quite sure how successful I'd be. Last year was stressful getting through all that haha. Any thoughts or words of encouragement/discouragement?

♥ I didn't realize my top today was a bit see through so my leopard print bra has been on BRIGHT display *facepalm*

♥ I am so behind on my fic :( MUSE COME BACK TO ME PLEASE!!! I will attempt writing TONIGHT (I owe my help_pakistan fic and simplybeing has been an absolute darling about it.) Rona, you free to help be bounce ideas off of?

♥ So I got in my car and "Highway to Hell" starts up and I BLARE it while I zoom down the road, windows down. I felt all dorkily cool haha. Oh well, it felt amazing :D

♥ Right now, I'm sitting outside McAlister's (one of the best places to get Dr. Pepper. And iced tea, but I don't drink that. *gasps* I fail as a Southerner I know hah). It's GORGEOUS weather. I could totally sit outside all day, just taking it all in.

♥ I've been really bad about commenting lately. I've been skimming, and so not taking as much time to comment. It's just whenever I manage to check my flist, it's at a bad time, so I just bookmark fics to read and icons to look at :/ I love you all, though! And I'll try to be better. But yeah, I apologize for that.

♥ So tell me flist, how are YOU doing? What have you been up to? *chinhands* Fill me in on YOU! I miss when things were more LJ-centric. Twitter/Tumblr seems to have taken over :/ (Haha wendy said this a little while ago, too)
