Distracted By Something Shiny

Today we were driving out by where my little brother lives and we passed this place called "Omega Physical Therapy". It was in this run-down tiny building and my first thought was, "Well, what kind of quality do you expect from a place that serves the societal lower-class breed of omegas?" My second thought was, "I need to spend less time in the Supernatural fandom". So...that happened.

Anyways, we were out that way - far too early in the morning for me - to see The Nephew play his first baseball game of the year. I am tired as hell right now, but it was worth it. Got to sit out in the sun, the smell of the ball-field in the air and watch him play. He got several really good hits (they are young enough at this level though that everybody bats until they get a hit) and he fielded a few balls and made the play to first base twice (I think they only got one official out in the whole game, but at this level basically they cycle through the batting order once and then the inning is over). It was a good day.

In other Nephew news, he called me this week and when I answered the phone, he said, "I just have to ask you something real quick: Who do you think is better; Batman or Wolverine?" What the hell kind of a question is that? Doesn't he know I hate to pick favorites? I went with Wolverine, after much debate, but hoyboy that was a tough choice. What do you guys think? Who's better; Batman or Wolverine?

He also told me that he likes animated movies better than 'real people' movies because he just watched these three Superman movies (by the description he gave me, I think they were the original Christopher Reeve ones) and he thought they were boring. I said, "Buddy, those were made a long time ago when special effects weren't very good yet," and he said, "But no, because, okay, I like when Superman shoots lasers out of his eyes and he didn't even know he could do that until halfway through the third movie. So I had to watch like, uh...five whole hours until he even shot lasers out of his eyes. And that was just boring and stupid." My little man, the film critic.

In other kid news, my aunt is a vegan now (and my mom is a vegetarian apparently) and so The Little Girl Cousin (who is 8) had this box of cookies and she said to them, "These are for you too, but I don't know if you can eat them. You better read what's on the box, because I know you are virgins now." Everyone within earshot busted out laughing and my aunt goes, "No, honey, we're vegans," and The Little Girl Cousin throws her arms up in the air and says, "Well, there are a lot of V words!"

That is all.

I saw this cool meme on Tumbler and I wanted to do it. But I decided to remix it a little for Livejournal. So this is kind of A Remix Meme. But it is about Zombies, so...yeah, I am all over that. I don't know who started the original meme, but whoever it is, they are awesome.

Your Zombie Apocalypse Team - these are the people you gather at the end of the world, the survivors you find amongst the hordes of the undead. These are the people you will be fighting the masses of brain-eaters with, struggling to survive against impossible odds. These are the people you will be carving out a place in the world with when the undead have decomposed and left you behind, the people you will be starting over with should you survive that long - if your team is good enough.

Your team consists of...

The Last Musical Artist You Listened To.
The Main Character(s) Of The Last Book You Read.
The Main Character(s) Of The Last Movie You Saw.
The Main Character(s) Of The Last TV Show You Watched.

Who is your Zombie Apocalypse Team?

My team is Pink, Katniss Everdeen, The Avengers and The Office personnel (season four).

I WIN THE APOCALYPSE!!

( People who almost made the cut for my team. )

It is clear my team will survive to the part of the apocalypse where we get to start our own commune, so now I have the toughest decision of all - which one of these guys do I want to start trying to repopulate the earth with?

I saw the doctor today. They always have to ask you about your social life and hobbies - checking to make sure that a mostly-homebound person is not lying around in their own filth wallowing in despair and loneliness or something. They always ask this question, so idk why the resident-doctor today felt like asking me, "So, what kind of things do you do for fun?!" in this faux-chipper 'let's be best friends!'voice. I know it's a question on their little checklist - just ask me, lady. Anyways, this conversation happened...( Avoiding the discussion of fandom is harder than you would think. )

Someday some doctor will ask me these questions and then exclaim..."Omg, you write fanfic! What fandom are you in?!" It'll happen.

In other news - I was watching a show the other night and after it ended, My Name Is Earl came on. It was the episode where the car from Smokey and The Bandit was at the county fair. They were playing the song, "Eastbound and Down" and I was singing along (cuz I know the words to that song and I love it and that does NOT make me lame) and then I thought, "Heh, someone should make a SPN music vid to this song. It'd be awesome," and I went to youtube and looked and...SOMEONE DID!!! Awesome.

Q: If a hot chick spreads herself across a classic car for her centerfold...what does The Impala spread herself across for her centerfold?

A: The American highway, baby. The American highway.

FAN FIC QUESTION - ( OF A PORN VARIETY )

Thank you, friends.

Thing 1) I have a HEADACHE. I'm trying to cut down on the amount of Mountain Dew I drink everyday. It's not going well. It's insane how dependent I have become on the caffeine. I feel like it negates the amount of crunches I do everyday, if I follow it by putting that much soda in my system. It's gotten worse since I gave up the drugs, but I thought it'd even out again after awhile. Maybe I shouldn't worry about it, considering everything I have flushed out of my system this year, but I work my ass off working out everyday and it pisses me off you can't see the evidence of all those crunches. But right now, my head hurts.


Thing 2) I'm listening to my newly downloaded JASON MANNS ALBUM right now! I like it. I'm not all nutso about him like I am Steve Carlson (<-- my rockstar boyfriend, you know) but it's catchy and fun. There is this song on it, "Journey", that I would totally turn into a Narnia vid, if I ever wasn't lazy and actually got back into vidding again. But in my head, it's totally a Narnia vid. (I know, in the lyrics he talks about his guitar a lot, but I still totally see a Peter and Edmund angst vid.) I'm enjoying it, and Jason seems like a total sweetheart when I see him around the Incestuous CW Vortex Orgy Cult happenings on the internet, but I doubt I'll ever get into him the way I am Steve. Maybe after I see him in concert, if I actually see him in concert - there is still some debate about whether or not we are going to the concert.


Thing 3) I now have a PAID ACCOUNT with LIVEJOURNAL!! I did it. I also bought a shitload of icon space. It's still way cheaper than I imagined it would be. Mostly, I share this with you to inform you that I will be uploading icons like a crazy whore over the next week or so...so, yeah, SORRY TO SPAM YOUR SHIT WITH ICONS.


Thing 4) MARK SHEPPARD just signed up for the Chicago Convention that I'm going to!!! I'm so EXCITED, YOU PEOPLES!!!! I've had a major crush on this guy since he was The Firestarter in that season one episode of the X-Files when I was 15. (Yeah, my fire kink has been around for a long time now) and then he was Badger on Firefly and now Crowley on SPN and OMG!!! I wish I had my old photo program, cuz I would rock the best piece of photo art of all those fandoms for him to sign. I'm gonna see what I can pull together for my autograph with my crap paint program, but dude - MARK FUCKING SHEPPARD!


Thing 5) I was recently thinking about BOBBY in the SEASON FIVE FINALE of SPN. ( In case you haven't seen it yet - Spoiler Cut )

What do you guys think?


That is all.
