My addition on my tumblr reblog:
…I’m sorry, but this short, fat woman is going to keep using short, fat cans. I may not be beautiful and confident, but I don’t need any goddamned soft drinks equating “tall and thin” with “beautiful and confident” for me. Keep your social conditioning and objectifying out of my fucking beverages, TYVM.

Not that I drink soda often, but when I do, I think it'll be anything but Pepsi products (though wtf do I do about all the Mtn Dew the husband likes? >_< )

I swear, ASW would make the freaking best Supernatural fic prompts. Best, I say.

Omg, spnland is overrrrrrrr *flails* Well, the apocalypse is over, but points are still being tallied and there's not been an official announcement of a winner quite yet (though we pretty much know which team it is already). The next apocalypse will start July 1, and I think I am going to be crazy and join in again (woo! \o/). Omg, I did a fan thing and I didn't get overwhelmed and give up partway through I actually finished it yaaaaaaaaay. \o/ And speaking of spnland...

( I wrote something homfg dumb for the crossover/fusion challenge no really hellooo crack )

Yeah. What is this I don't even \o/ I blame it on Team Hell's mod saying that bad fic was better than no fic at all. And I swear I caught a typo of a couple dropped words after I submitted it for the challenge, but hell if I can find where it was now. Ohwell \:p/ (Oh, and that was one of the two entries voted Most Creative. It was that, I guess. XD; )

So my mother had a phone conversation recently with one of her younger sisters, who mentioned that an animal had chewed off the bark around the base of one of her trees. She said the animal had a tail, maybe about 6" long.

This aunt is insisting the animal was a hedgehog.

...a hedgehog.

A. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog.

.........NO. ASFSDKFSKDFKSDFKJK.

She. She says it was a hedgehog because she looked in one of her grandkids' books of nursery rhymes and saw a picture and I DON'T FUCKING EVEN KNOW, HEDGEHOG WTHIF. I just. I just. I AM RELATED BY BLOOD TO THIS WOMAN.

My and Mom's theories, btw, would be potentially beaver or maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coypu. Yeah, I know I have a BS in biology and had some ecology classes back when, but I'm sorry, pretty much any junior high or highschooler could tell you the differences between a hedgehog and a beaver and how a hedgehog could NOT be chewing bark off a goddanged tree in stupid Nebraska. >.< HOW. Are people so stupid. And why is it someone related to me. ARGH. I just. ARGH.

My mother tried to convince my aunt otherwise, but eventually let the subject drop. : / I would not have been so nice. I probably would have yelled at the woman to get some real research materials and not relied on a *kids' nursery rhyme book* and OMGWTF the world is in the state it's in right now because of people like her ARGH is she seriously *stupid*?. Wharrgarbl.

I know I tend to consider myself pretty unintelligent. But I guess I can tell myself I'm not like that. And if I'm ever like that? Put me out to pasture. Seriously.


Though maybe I'm a dumbass in my own ways, because in WoW news I've started a couple new hordeside alts during this deguilded raiding break--Jhayred the mage and Padalecki the rogue. >_> Way to go, self.

Feeling sort of hidey, which I guess translates into not replying to comments or working more with the current spnland game like I should, while yet being okay with babbling here. :F Also didn't seem to have problems doing some WoW on Bronzebeard, though I didn't really talk much except to Al and Kas. Made myself get Nin to 73 so I can finally start her on Grizzly Hills, finally finished the Draenei starting area stuff I like so much on Sampala. Still think that ending quest series and the little mini-event at the end after you turn it in is one of the coolest things in the game, and certainly *the* best way of ending a starting zone.

Speaking of spnland and WoW.... Slept for beans last night b/c of the knot in my shoulder, shallow and restless. Had bizarre dreams all night that I was trying to keep up with comment threads, but at the same (quit spelling that as Sam) time was running Sampala around the Draenei capital city, the Exodar. Then I realized that other characters I was passing by had the name of other community members (I distinctly remembering seeing coyotesuspect's name). Yeah, I don't know. I just don't know. Other people get Supernatural dreams, I get spnland/game dreams. What.

For my gamer friends:
http://www.wolfire.com/humble
The Humble Indie Bundle. Being sold for the next 6 days, it's 5 games that you can get either in PC, Mac, or Linux format, and *you name your price*. No lie. You choose how much you want to pay, can either pay by Paypal, Amazon, or Google checkout, and you can choose whether to have what you pay go either all to the Child's Play charity, entirely to the developers, an even split, or a split of your customization. And the games come DRM free. Friend of mine recommends 3 of the games for sure, hadn't tried the other two yet. But it's a great deal, and is worth trying out. The downloads were quick, too.

Also:
http://malandchad.com/ This is cute.

No more allergy shots, which is yay. Though it was because my allergist says they're really not doing any more to help me, sort of hit a plateau and haven't improved over the past year. It's been about 5 1/2 since I started those though, which is about a normal course. He is having me try new allergy meds though, since the Allegra/Nasonex combo really hasn't been working well anymore.

Finally noticed that my bangs are down to my chin. >_< I'd say I have Sam hair, but mine isn't nearly so thick or wavy or full of awesome. Need to get it trimmed, as I look fugly with it gone so long. Won't lose much off the back though, other than to even it up--very nearly to my goal of knee-length.

One last thing and I shut up:
http://community.livejournal.com/graphicinmotion/15178.html
Incredible fanmix by secretlytodream called Not As We, focusing on Sam and Dean this season. I have a thing for s5, I really do, and I've wanted to do a fanmix for it--but she does it just perfectly. And her art is *Amazing*. Truly. And art for each track. The music is just utterly perfect fit, too, and just what I love most--a mix of favorites I already knew, and things I don't know but realize I'm now in love with. (I think I especially fell for Grand Archives, will have to find more of their work someday.)

Oh, tee hee, Blizzard, tee hee. ^^ (Also: http://us.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=1100000922 and the way characters look on the WoW armory site today ^^ http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Eldre%27Thalas&cn=Akseru Woo, Tuskarr! *hee*)

So, today it's supposed to get to 83F. ...wasn't it just snowing back on the 19th...? \o_O/

Also: Thank deities it's Thursday. ♥

Couldn't resist that meme going around:
What was the #1 song the day you were born? Google the date and #1 song and then post your #1 song on your LJ - preferably with a Youtube vid if you can find one!

August 19, 1973. :| I'm so ashamed.

My eyes can not unsee the pants those guys were wearing. >_< What.

I
HATE
SNOW.
I
REALLY FUCKING HATE
SHOVELING SNOW.
SNOW
DRIFTS
CAN GO SUCK IT.
SUCK IT, SNOW DRIFTS,
SUCK IT.
FUCKING STUPID
WIND
ALSO SUCKS.
MY BUTT IS STILL COLD.

THE END.
