live well ★ laugh often

& do not like LJ's new posting method and that I don't have a choice to do so..

& feel supremely bad about my fail as a friend here on LJ. Life has gotten away from me. But I vow to be better this week!

& have not watched last week's episode of SPN or any other show really. I have no clue what I'm doing with my time but THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH OF IT.

& wondering, does anyone have any icons with the SPN boys wearing glasses from the episode before last? WANT!! *grabby hands*

& am ridiculously behind on dailyjsquared. I really need to shape up with that poor comm. Also things I'm ridiculously behind on include the SPN cons. *SIGH*

& thanking those that posted about me on the valentine's meme. I love you! I had no idea it was happening and failed. But look out in your inboxes this week for a special surprise!

& missing my bff completely and wondering if our friendship will ever go back to how it was *is cryptic*

....I think that's all for now. TALK TO YOU SOON LOVELIES *SMOOOOOOCH*

♠ 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 ;)

Have ya'll heard this? I feel like I have, but I don't remember.

ANYWAY, it's JARED and he sounds lovely and I hear a BIT of his Texas accent and YUM!

I have to reorganize icons because there are so many AMAZING icons from the Chicago Con, but I don't want TOO many from that and OH THE CONUNDRUM.

I have made progress on my Sweet Charity!! Though I think its crap. *sighs* Who wants to be my beta I can ask me to stop me from falling over the ledge?

Also, a request from a friend:

She heard about Jensen moving out, so now she wants to know if there's j2 fic where he moves out, moves in with his gf and realizes that while he thought it was a good idea, it doesn't live up to the greatness that was living with Jared cause, of course, he didn't realize Jared was like his perfect wifey.

Something like that. I have NO time, so who wants the bunny? It'd be awesome :)

Random: I am getting near icon limit again, and I know theres going to be TONS of gorgeous CON icons. *SIGHS*

twoufourteen, did you see this? Scroll down for the desired butt shaking pics :D :D

EDIT: I TOTALLY forgot to rec this. benitle wrote me some gorgeous fic of Jared having to take care of Jensen after his LASIK surgery! Read Good Morning Starshine and tell her how awesome she is :) Thanks again bb <3
