live well ★ laugh often

So I was randomly thinking of doing an August fic challenge - 30 days of proposals :D

This is where I take your input! Give me some ideas - pairings, situations, verses, one liners. WHATEVER. And that fic will be dedicated to you!

Ready? GO!

uno. Lookit the icon I made! It's not as cool as some, duh, but I'm pretty proud!



dos. Jensen Ackles continues to ruin my life. Thanks for the pic heads up caithream! More info from cloex_brosluvr that I'm too lazy to properly link. Just read her post.

tres. Pinterest is addicting, especially because there's so many awesome ideas for my classroom, but I KNOW they're going to be a bust. The kids I teach are at a religious private school, sheltered as hell, and just...different. So all the ideas shall remain ideas for now I guess. I did make some pretty cool things for my class though, I'll post some stuff if you wanna see. My class is a jungle theme (duh) and I got this AWESOME zebra rug from Ross. I love Ross. haha

quatro. Speaking of, does anyone know a cheap place to get posters made? I'm thinking of just doing it on 11X17 paper, but I was hoping for cardstock or something bigger. Any ideas?

cinco. Who's going to watch Magic Mike this weekend? I want to, but will probably go alone on Monday or Tuesday. Man, I will not be able to watch Matt Bomer's naked ass with any of the people I hang out with. I'll enjoy him full screen all on my own if need be haha.




seis. I adore cherie_morte's writing to PIECES. One of the first (and still one of my favorites) continues to be But We'll Always Have Our Vending Machines.
Summary: AU: Jensen is the new math teacher at Stimson High. On his first day, he meets Jared Padalecki, an English teacher with a killer smile and a little too much time on his hands. Jared is pretty much perfect except for one thing: Jensen has no idea if they’re flirting or just friends.

Reasons to love: 1. It's a teacher AU and I'm a teacher. 2. It has BRILLIANT snark and adorable banter. 3. It paints such awesome pictures in your mind. 4. It has Jared being this AWESOME English teacher that I wish was my English teacher. 5. It has Jensen as the Math teacher who wears glasses. 6. They're freakin' adorable together. AND SO MANY MORE REASONS! Another epic reason? maichan did the art and I ADORE her art. It's so perfect and epic and perfect. (Plus, I just finished listening to the podfic and it made me laugh out loud and sigh in contentment as I was driving.)

Why are you still here? Go (re)read!

Okay so I'm still on the hunt for vids from LA Con 2011. I looked at the ontd_spnparty post and found these tweets:

@LauinLA Weirdest thing a fan's ever done: the people online who pretend to be their wives, people posing as them on facebook or twitter

@LauinLA What strokes Jared's ego is having an intelligent conversation with people about his work or his craft, not people imitating him.

@danielletbd A fan just asked the guys to name each others' first born...

@LauinLA Aloicious McNasty Ackles is what Jared thinks Jensen would call his kid. Jared's would be Jared 1, Jared 2 and Jared 3, Jensen thinks

@LauinLA Jared would like to see their characters going to Hawaii. They just like acting good material, not worried about the specifics.

@LauinLA Jensen: are you going to Jersey in July? Why don't you talk to me about these things?! Jared: you don't listen!

@LauinLA Jared got off the stage to hug a little girl, soooo adorbs. She called him Mr. Padalecki

@LauinLA Jared: that's probably the cutest thing that's ever happened to me.

@tbrick2 "It was actually maple syrup that was colored to look dark red. It was very gross." Jared on demon-blood

@acma18 #lacon Jensen and Jared knocked knuckles over a fan saying the hug last week was the best one yet.

@LauinLA There's fist-bumping going on. Jared jokes that he would now like to be addressed as Mr. Padalecki

I do not see ANY of this in vids. Actually quite a few more things if I go through the tweets. Any idea where I could? (Yes, I DID check the Wiki!)

+ Reminder: I'm offering a Texan postcard/letter for one vgift for help_japan

+ So my brother just got me an Iphone 4 as an early birthday present (and believe me, he'll be holding that over my head FOREVER) but I need tips! I'm so used to the Droid I had, so I need tricks/tips to use because the Iphone doesn't have that menu feature and such. App recommendations (which Twitter app for example?) and little things I can do that you've found help? ALSO. I'd love a screenshot of you lock and home screens. And a recommendation of the case/screen protector you use :D

Thanks ♥

If you could make me write one 'verse, what would it be? (ex: ex-con!Jared, prisoner!Jensen <- not doing this btw.)

If you've traveled to Florida for Disney World/Universal Studios (or live there), I need your help!

We're planning on going (5 of us) in October but rates/packages are CRAZY expensive. I wanna know if you have any tips at all or anything as we're planning this trip?

Why are they driving me insane?

(Lol, I think Jensen misunderstood or Jared did. One's kissing and one's with that pursed lips look haha)

I can't wait to upload icons :D :D :D ahah

♥ A Poll!
[Poll #1492337]

- Rounding the Bases by crackedbuthappy
NGH. THAT IS ALL. (college AU!!!)
- Nachos and Forever by raeschae
Jensen realizes something over Nachos. Ridiculously cute.
- A Very Padackles Thanksgiving by timehasa_way

OH BOYS. That is all you really need to know :D

♥ Today is the last day of mini_nanowrimo and I'm half sad and half ecstatic! haha I'm also going to be pretty proud of myself as long as I get this last fic out :D

the colors pink and turquoise/teal ~ planners ~ gel pens/markers in different colors ~ mechanical pencils ~ thinking about jared and jensen ~ my brain twin ~ peppermint white mochas ~ sunshine on a cool day with clear skies ~ supernatural and everything it's brought me ~ my family ~ the fact that my sis in law is here ~ gorgeous fic ~ pictures of love in some way, shape, or form ~ white chocolate ~ chocolate covered strawberries ~ cookies and milk ~ a sunset/sunrise ~ the moon and stars shining ~ seeing my flist update and catching up with them ~ seeing someone smile ~ making someone smile ~ my friends ~ babies and their giggling ~ finding something in my size that fits me and looks good on me ~ shoes ~ dr. pepper ~ cuddling in bed when it's cold ~ reading a good book ~ seeing how freakin' amazing fandom is on a daily basis ~ finding that perfect icon ~ bookstores ~ buying new books ~ going shopping ~ seeing little boys or girls with their dads ~ seeing true love somehow, somewhere ~ causing someone else genuine happiness

♥ How are YOU doing flist? What's new and going on with you? How was your break? Anything exciting?

A friend of mine is looking for a Sam icon (maybe of him drinking demon blood, or something to that effect) and it says:

DRINK BLOOD GET CRUNK or something similar.

Anyone have any idea?

<333

( Spoiler for SPN 5X05? )

So, I was thinking about changing my LJ name. A pain, I know, but I just...I don't feel like I'm H/D obsessed you know? I love J2 but IDK if I'll be J2 obsessed forever either. So I want something kinda different. If you have any ideas lemme know :) And I kinda don't want to at the same time bc it'll be a pain to get used to. Plus, I'll have to bother bobbinrob, clubinthesky, and crystalchain to re-do my personalized icons haha

So what do YOU think I should do? (Plus what are your ideas for my new username?)

and on a shallow note, how GORGEOUS is this icon? UNF DEAN. I love animotus' coloring here!
