I found this meme from whitereflection:

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!

So for November 15, 1969 the number one song was "Wedding Bell Blues" by the 5th Dimension. Sing it Marilyn!




Her song was "Brother Louie", which is a great song! I have to admit liking the BON JOVI version better! I know. I'm showin' the mullet love, but it'still good!!

Holy Mary mother of Winchester brothers.


I.... I don't know what to say. There is no way I could articulate how freakin' AWESOME this epi was!!


I'll have to come back when I can actually put my thoughts together and can type actual sentances. Gonna continue my blabbering and rewatch it at least three more times.

*swallows and grabs another tissue*

Oh for the love!! My friend Jen (aka Lola-Roll-Ovah-Ya) sent me this link to Romance By You - a website where you can write yourself into a romance novel! She was kind enough to name the Vampire lusting after me "Dean"!!

These are the examples she sent me:

A college campus is the setting for Vampire Kisses and where JL Lundstrom and Dean first cross paths. It’s love at first sight, but as they become closer, JL discovers that Dean has a horrifying secret – he’s a vampire doomed to a bloodthirsty immortality!

Although JL senses danger beneath his soft-spoken manner, and even after Dean himself warns her away, JL is drawn to this creature of the night and loves him as she has loved no other.
JL and Dean meet at the library...

Spying a dusty red binding on the lower shelf, JL pulled at the tightly wedged volume. Unbeknownst to her, her jostling had caused a book to dislodge and tumble from its precarious position on the top shelf. Then she heard it – the sound of a sudden movement and leather against flesh. She looked up, surprised.

“What?” her blue eyes widened as she took in the sight.

“If I startled you, my apologies.” The man in dark silk smiled at her through electric blue eyes and then reached up toward the skewed shelf, adjusted it, and returned the book. His voice was like his clothing, soft, rich, almost beckoning. The dim light fell gently on his dark brown hair and shoulders. Impossibly wide shoulders.

JL felt her heart skip a beat; how picturesque. His arms seemed not to stretch as he reached to resettle the shelf. Watching from below, comprehension dawned, she tucked her brown hair behind her ears in nervousness. Ah, the noise. She eyed the angle, and a shudder wracked her body. The whole shelf could have toppled were it not for this curious stranger. She had to clear her throat before she could speak, her mind filled with images of heavy, sharp-cornered objects landing on her head. “Thanks for the rescue,” JL said. Then with a grin added, “Quick hands.”

“Only when there is need, I assure you.” Dean Sam smiled, teeth reflecting bright in the dusty air, those broad shoulders casting a shadow over JL. He nodded in what might almost have been considered a bow and then turned sideways and was gone. One moment there, the next he’d vanished as though he’d never been...


And this one!

Dean has vampire lust...

Dean sighed. He longed to go to JL, to comfort her, to caress her, but he could not, and so he remained outside, just below her window, watching and listening. He thought of her silky brown hair and dancing blue eyes. His mouth filled with the bittersweet taste of longing. The first flush of dawn chased him away, but before he left, he thrust a note beneath her window sash.

I have watched from the shadows;
you are brighter than sunlight.

It might have been more poetic than literal, but he meant it truly; hers was a warmth that would not burn him to ash – though it did seem to have seared its way into his heart.


OH THE CRACK OF IT ALL!!! I don't know if I could read a romance novel about MYSELF. It's a little creepy thinking about the moaning and groaning I'd apparently would be doing.

"Live The Fantasy!" *SNORT!*

I know you're all cute and teeny tiny, and you looked like something out of a Disney movie, but seriously, you need to vacate the premises.

I don't need to remind you that I have not one, but TWO carniverous felines. And just a few minutes ago Cooper had you in his mouth. It was my fault he let you go. I thought I could toss ya both to the apartment hall and then deal with ya.

Bastard.

I have completely and utterly fallen big time for author Garth Stein! Ugh. His stories and charactors draw me in so much I almost called in sick to work just so I could stay home and read his work.

I first read The Art of Racing in the Rain in book club a couple of months ago. The story is told through Enzo, the dog of race car driver Denny Swift. Enzo tells the story of how Denny meets his wife, has a daughter, loses wife to cancer and trys not to lose his daughter to greedy grandparents. I'm not a racing fan and you don't have to be in order to understand the racing references or euphamisms. I've passed this book on to over a dozen friends and family members who all have agreed it's a damn good story! Enzo's outlook on human life makes this a unique POV.



Just today I finished How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets. Evan is a 31 year old one-hit-wonder guitar player in Seattle. He gets a call that his HS girlfriend has died and while attending her funeral he meets his 14 year old son, Dean. Evan struggles to become an instant parent as well as living with epilepsy while trying to once again regain his music career. Stein has a way of unravelling Evan's secrets that keeps you hooked till the end. The secrets are nothing sinister or horrifying, but they are the kind that families keep in order to protect someone, not realizing they are actually hurting that person.



He's coming out with another book in March called "Raven Stole The Moon". I'll be looking forward to it!!!

7 seconds left of the game and my Purple People Eaters are killing me.


Frickin' KILLING me.

I'm gonna watch OT with only one eye open....

EDIT: Phhhhhhhttttttt.

and going to WinchestMidwest!!
LJ community winchestmidwest!






Aye, in March I'm gonna meet with some fellow earthlings who know what the hell I'm talking about when I mention FANDOM and SHOW. I finally get to talk about SHOW mythology and get goofy talking about the music, spoilers, fanfiction, and just be able to let my Geek Flag fly!

Ung, that just sounds so refreshing and relaxing to me.

The clincher for me was a chance to go ghosthunting with TAPS Chicago!! I was a part of a ghosthunt once before when I took a class on Ghost Photography, tought by a member of Twin Cities Paranormal Society.

I've always wanted to do something like that again, so here I go!

(5.11 spoilers)




BRAIIIIINNNSSS! Sucked dry. Not Zombie friendly food.

PUUUUUDDDIIINNNGGGG!! When Dean says it with his pants down, it's just... wiggly good! Watch again and listen for the sound effects! *mind goes to gutter*

John Gries is full of Awesome. I adore him in Real Genius! (Another guilty pleasure...)

This is Sam. This is Sam on Drugs. Any questions?
Yes, where can I get some and can I touch Dean's nose? Boop!

Boys in a mental institution? Yeah, it's a win. *looks through fanfictin for institution fics*

Sam's anger? Let 'im loose! THAT would be interesting. Sam has shit he needs to get out, like RTFN and I want to see it.

I knew Dean's doc wasn't real. SHOW has pulled that one before. *shrugs* It was easy to figure out, but I still like the dialog between them.


Where have I seen the nursewraith before? She looks very familiar.

Still crazy? for SHOW? Yes. I'm a slave to it.

Less than 24 hours people of the Earth! Hang on to your bootstraps!

Ok, first, ABSOLUTE SQUEEEEEE! for new episodes starting next week!! Whooo-hoooo! Hellatus is almost over!

Second, this is the second time SHOW has references the movie "Fletch"!! The first time Dean ID'd himself as Alan Stanwyck (I forget which epi though).

Jasminka at The Winchester Family Business has a fun entry about quoting Supernatural! See if you can find all of them:




Quoting Supernatural


If you know what’s out there and once hoped to live a normal, apple pie life, you are quoting Supernatural. Needless to say, you despise chick flick moments and don’t do shorts, because saving people, hunting things is your calling.

After a while you find that this whole gig ain’t without perks, and the apple pie is freakin’ worth it. Furthermore, you are convinced that you’re not gonna die in a hospital where the nurses aren’t even hot, because after coming back from the dead you have been re-hymenated. And the dude will not abide.

So, fearlessly, you go on fighting, like your man Jack would, realizing that you get demons, but people are crazy, and, since his jokes are Bush league, you order your shotgun to shut his cakehole, while you’re quoting Supernatural.

When you’re happy to be tackling a straightforward, black and white case, you find that you’re a whole new level of freak. You don’t care, though, as M.Night level douchiness does not scare you, and when the greatest hits of mullet rock are on, you become the star of the zombie-ghost-orgy and hellfire rumba – and, don’t tell anyone, you’re quoting Supernatural.

Sometimes you meet a girl-drink drunk and no talent douchebags wearing sunglasses at night, but nevertheless you face Mission Pathetic in your loved-off MacGyver jacket, because you know that your friend built a ghost-proof panic room to hide in and you’ll always find a hoodoo priest to lay some mojo on you. You may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but you face with courage that river of crap that would send most people howling to the nuthouse, while you never stop quoting Supernatural.

Because clowns kill, you’re so occupied with honest-to-goodness monster hunts that your food in the fridge is not food anymore, it’s Darwinism, and, yes, it’s Supernatural, because all it takes are a couple of severed heads and a pile of dead cows and you’re Mr Sunshine, which is a whole new level of moronic, even for you.

Sometimes, though, you get careful, trying not to bruise this fine packaging, so you decide to rather man the flashlight instead of a gun and get gutsy by drinking purple nurples in a cheap bar, since you’re really pretty sure that will get you an actual case involving strippers.

And as long Santa’s shady brother or Ghostfacers don’t get in your way, as long as you don’t end up on soul plane, become a hellhound’s chew toy or an angel condom you will stay a bucket of sunshine and stop the big bad wolf and you will continue to be a rebel with a badge, frying ghosts extra crispy, dreaming of lollipops and candy canes, all the while quoting Supernatural.

I overheard a dad call over to his son "Xander" in the store today and I sooooo wanted to ask the dad if he was a fan of Buffy.

TV.Com has made a list of the Top 100 Everything of 2009 and Supernatural made #5 with the fake opening to the episode "Changing Channels"!!

Here are a couple of other highlights that I enjoyed:






Boom-De-Yada!!

Because Shelter has now grown into a full Agent_JL36 OBSESSION I've joined two new communities!

shelter_diner and shelter_my_love

For anyone who knows me they must understand that my obsessions must run their course. I cannot simply ignore them or I cease to function like the mature adult I am*. Just ask those who were around the Twin Peaks era. Those times were harsh dude! I've even named one of my kit-cats after Special Agent Dale Cooper.

Which always make me want to go get some donuts, cherry pie and a cuppa joe...



Cooper's pie, Dean's pie..... there seems to be a theme starting here.




*Lying Lier Who LIES!!

Watched this awesome movie called Shelter while snowed in over Christmas. Loved it so much I had to buy a copy! Check it out - it's available through NetFlix.


Summery: Forced to give up his dreams of art school in order to take care of his family, Zach (Trevor Wright) has become accustomed to a life where he neglects his own needs in favor of taking care of his older sister, Jeanne (Tina Holmes) and his nephew, Cody. When his best friend’s older brother, Shaun (Brad Rowe), returns home to cure a case of writer’s block, Shaun and Zach develop a friendship that develops into a true, intimate relationship. Shaun presses Zach to take control of his life, and to take ownership of his artwork. He also develops a strong bond with Cody, and Zach happily notices the positive effect Shaun’s attention has on him. As time progresses, however, a host of new issues come up. Zach struggles with his identity, his family, and friends, while trying to understand the new emotions Shaun has brought into his life. When the cat is let out of the bag, Jeanne threatens to take Cody away. Wanting nothing but the best for him, Zach is forced to decide between his pattern of always putting others’ desires first or fighting for what is really most important and appropriate for both his and Cody’s future.

Gonna capture each day's snowfall during this Holiday snowstorm. Here's day 1!






View from my front door and my poor little Saturn plowed in!


My street and my building...


I had four neighbors offer their help to get my car out. Neighborly chivalry is alive and well! It felt very nice. I'm gonna keep my car where it is until Minneapolis declares a Snow Emergency cuz good parking is hard to find on a normal times, let alone in a storm.

Now if I only had the energy to build a good snow fort!

I'm staying in Minneapolis for Christmas due to the Snow-pocolypse we're suppose to be getting in the next few days. Looks like we could get 12-18" depending on who you listen to.




I've stocked up TP, Oreos and chinese leftovers. Gonna have muhself a marathon of Supernatural, Psych, Firefly, X-Files and some Simon Pegg.

BRING IT!

My brother does not watch Supernatural but has put up with his sisters, neices and nephew become fully addiction to SHOW. He drew me this angsty Dean cartoon in under a minute:




Not bad, eh? I'm just lucky he didn't draw boogers on Dean-O like he did on Miss Cec's "portrait"! No worries, four-year-old Cec proceeded to beat up her uncle well and good.
