Distracted By Something Shiny

I'm feeling better today! Mostly because it finally stormed and dropped the temperature like 15 degrees, so I got to go outside at last!

Also, I went to a graduation party for The Cousin - who was the kid I was introducing SPN to when I first got this LJ. I am so proud of the woman she's grown into! She had a scrapbook out at the party and one whole page was dedicated to her step-dad - (my cousin). This guy could fit right in on Duck Dynasty - to give you an idea of him. She was eleven when he got together with her mom and now both she and her sister call my cousin 'Dad'. He is their dad, all the way - their biological dad being in and out of their lives and the two of them having to look out for each other because their mom sadly suffers from serious depression - she loves them and she tries, but it is so lucky for both the girls and for my cousin that they all found each other. The write-up in her book said, "Some people say there are no such things as heroes. But they've never met my dad." It legit made me tear up. If you had told me ten years ago that my lifetime bachelor cousin would raise two beautiful daughters like this, I never would have believed you. It's a beautiful thing.

But mostly my mood is better because The BFF is here for the weekend! It’s the first time I’ve gotten to see her since the 4th of July! /grabs bff and clutches her to my bosom/

Anyways, so, sometimes when I am reading on my IPad in bed, I leave the TV on in the background on mute so that when I turn the IPad off, I can see to get out of bed. Last night I forgot the TV was on and when I flipped my IPad shut, there was Jared Padalecki’s face staring at me. For a minute, all my brain could think was, “Why is Jared Padalecki in my room staring at me?!” Then my brain clicked in and I realized what had happened - I had left the TV on and it was running Entertainment Tonight, which was apparently doing their ‘celebrity birthdays’ section. It freaked me out for a second though!

In conclusion: I saw Pacific Rim! The robot/alien fight scenes went on a bit long for my liking, but who cares because awesome characters are AWESOME! Badass smart capable female, rivers of angst and pain, incestuous gay brothers, daddy issues out the ass, tech guys brotp-ing it up with their soldiers, a dog, and best of all…adorable, hysterical awesome science!nerds being the biggest bamfs ever! Science FTW!

It's The Cousin's Birthday! She's sixteen today - SIXTEEN, you guys! I don't even know how that happened. Hopefully this thing called a driver's license will mean we get to see more of her. I honestly can't believe what a tremendous person she is and how much better my life is for having her in the family.

I wrote her a fic for Christmas and printed it out for her, but never posted it here. So I guess today is a good day to share it with all of you. I figured, I've written her some humorous SPN fic and some John angst and that 'Dean writes Glee fanfic' story - now it's time for some J2! Her first J2! This is not the first J2 I have ever written, but it is the first I have ever posted - so off to make a Jared/Jensen tag - yay! (I know, I'm a little behind on this fad).

Dinner Plans - 5 jobs Jared & Jensen never had, 1 job they do have, 6 times Jared asked Jensen to dinner - with some awesome guest cameos - and occasionally the boys in uniforms. 5x, AU, Romance, PG-13 and 3,798 words.

( You two should just go make-out in the principal’s office or something. Instead of sickening us every morning by making googly eyes at each other and then not doing anything about your big stupid crush. )

First, I hate when I click "post" and then remember I didn't "tag" to a community. I always do it at one community every time I cross-post a fic. At least this time it was a moderated comm and it didn't just post straight through. /sigh/

Anyhoo...I have brief comments on Shows that I haven't had time to express yet.

( Glee, Duets...or why I love Brittany so freaking much. )

( Supernatural, 6.03, because CAS IS BACK!! )

In Sum: Hawaii Five-O is getting better. I could still do without Alex whatever his name is in that lead role, but it is hard to stay chemistry-less when acting next to my boy, Caan. And some of the looks Steve gives Danny are so "fuck me now", it's awesome. Plus, they are giving Daniel and Grace's characters some in-depth storylines, so I'm sticking with it.

Nikita is not as good as I expected, but I'm hanging in there because, hi Aaron Stanford, (who looks like he's had his nose broken a few times since I saw him last), and holy shit can Shane West wear a mother-fucking suit. Hi, Shane, you grew up nice since from when you were on that show with Billy Campbell.

I still am ridiculously excited about Hellcats. Idek why, but I love it and rush to watch my episodes every week. It's fun. You got a problem with me watching a teen drama about cheerleaders on The CW? Thought not.

"Does that say Dean Writes Glee Fan-Fic?" you ask. "Why are you using a Glee icon for a Supernatural story?" you ask.

Yes and that's why.

Um, Dean needs a release from that whole Apocalypse thing. He discovers Glee. And the Internets. And Glee on the Internets.

Dudes! I broke 6,000 words!!
Also, as I was coding this (it took forever, omg!) I noticed that Dean signs his LJ posts with "That is all." Hey! I do that too! Except, weirdly, I wrote this fic before I had ever even had a Livejournal. Huh.

In celebration of both Glee and Supernatural returning to our TVs next week - I give you "United Here, Somehow".

( Okay, so it’s not like Dean was waiting all summer with bated breath for the premiere of “Glee”. But sometime toward the end of the summer, he saw his first promo pop up when he turned on his laptop to look at porn. )

So, The Cousin was over again last night. At one point, she randomly turns to me and says -

TC: So, if you could do whatever you wanted in The Impala for 25 minutes OR kiss Dean, which would you choose?

ME: Um, can I kiss Dean IN The Impala?

TC: No.

TC's Sister: Kiss Dean, because that often leads to other fun stuff in The Impala.

TC: No, it won't.

ME: It might.

TC: No, you have to choose one or the other.

TC's Sister: That's not fair! How come? Dean likes to kiss in The Impala!

TC: Because it's my game and I make the rules. You get 25 minutes in The Impala or you get to kiss Dean. There is no combining them. It's just A or B.

TC's Sister: That's stupid.

ME: Anything I want? I can turn on the radio?

TC: Yes.

ME: Can I drive The Impala?

TC: Yes. Anything you want. 25 minutes.

TC's Sister: The car.

ME: Yeah, the car.

TC: Over kissing Dean?

ME & TC's Sister: Yes.

End of discussion. Until I got up this morning and said -

ME: Question. Just one kiss?

TC: Huh?

ME: With Dean. Just one kiss? Will there be tongue action? Do I get to make-out with him?

TC: Oh. Yes, tongue. Make-out? Sure, okay.

ME: For 25 minutes?

TC: No. You get the car for 25 minutes, anything you want. You get Dean for...5 minutes, making out is allowed.

ME: I have to think about that.

TC's Sister: Still the car.

ME: Yeah, still the car.


So, LJ Friends - what would YOU do?

(Look at my icon - what would you do? This is the most unfair question ever! I'm telling you - The Cousin is evil. What kind of a question is that? It's like she wants to make my head explode!)
