the whole world stops and stares for a while..
This here will be my catch up post...I've been meaning to post for a while and I figured if I don't get on this now it's never gonna happen because LJ has posting limits and there would just be too much stuff to post and say...
Let me begin with some pretty that has just come to light in the last 24 hours or so...these are a few of my fav pics from the recent Supernatural Con in San Fran...looks like the boys were being particularly adorable..
I honestly think if I ever see these guys in person I'd need a full facial massage by the end because I would just never stop grinning
and my face muscles would cramp.
They're just so relaxed and comfortable with each other and I know that this is not a new observation of course but it is
such a rare thing to see, two guys who spend sooo much time working together and yet...I probably should be over how
unique it is but I still can't help but think that this is something to make the most of.
I just LOVE their faces here. Jensen's all wide eyed, brows raised, Jared's all intrigued...hope we get to see full vids of
the panel.
I think that grin gets away with shit loads of stuff. I'm just saying. His Mom would have
needed reserves of steel to resist caving. Looks like she did have such steeliness given how he's turned out.

So whilst the Supernatural fandom stopped and stared for a while at the boys in San Francisco....the rest of the world continues to turn...
Firstly I wanted to thank netlynn here on lj land because she is awesome and amazing and the bestest Santa Net EVAH!
The girl hooked me up with some fine American products over Christmas, including (but not limited to the following)
Nomnomnom...
THESE!!! Ohhhhh these are like little, teeny, tiny presents that you get to unwrap every time you grab one and I am sad to say they
didn't last longer than a week once opened. Reeses products = redteekal CRACK. There are worse drugs out there, judge me all you
want.
Net had to battle obsessed Supernatural fan girls for this. My undying gratitude and respect has been given.
You don't know how much this one means to me Net! ♥ ♥ ♥
There were many other goodies in there too and I was just completely staggered by her generosity. Thanks bb it means so much!
On the other side of the country the Queenslanders are doing it tough and by now most, if not all of you will have been innundated with
footage and photos....came across these today and thought they have been the best photo exposition so far capturing the impact...
Story Bridge, looking from New Farm
Go-between Bridge at the peak of the floods.
Resident using a mini skip bin to store his possesions, and as a makeshift boat, Toowong.
Park Rd, Yeronga. The flooding extended all the way to Fairfield Rd and the RSPCA.
Washed up koala teddy found on the Ipswich Highway, from a home in Rocklea.
Water levels rose above these street signs in Rocklea.
McDonalds, Milton.
Floods at night.
Ipswich motorway at Riverview.
Shell Service Station at Toowong.
Roof of a walkway sticks out just above the water. Flood peak, taken at Kangaroo Point.
These are just a few of the 77 photos that make up an album on facebook called Incredible Flood Photos. You can click on the link to see
more. I've already donated to the Premiers Disaster Relief fund and I'm interested in participating in the bidding going on at the lj fandom community: qldfloodauction .
I'm not so sure about auctions though - I have to say I have participated in two before to raise money for various charities (both times I have won I have donated to Doctors without Borders) and so far neither auction I have won and paid for has produced anything for me. I'm not really pissed about this cos I was going to donate anyway but it does just niggle a teeny, tiny bit. Don't put yourself out there unless you're prepared to follow through on it. Before I'm asked - no I didn't put any difficult prompts, requests, conditions on the products. I am, by nature, a fairly laid back, easy going creature so I was happy with whatever they came up with. But I don't want this to dim anyone else's interests in bidding - like I said I have bid myself on this one and probably will do so again. There are some excellent vidders and writers (and no doubt artists) who have signed up for this.
Now I don't know why Santa thought I was such a good girl but I need to share what hubby got me this Christmas as he certainly outdid himself and of course totally contributed to the enabling of my obsessions. My thoughts on that are: I'm perfectly okay with it!
Complete with certificate of authenticity and everything! Along with the photo above he also tracked down and got me these two gems...
I mean really? If that's not your partner saying - "I know you are obsessively cracked about your shows however I still love you regardless" I don't know what is. *lol*
As a thankyou and also as his Christmas present from me to him (I just love the ones you can share *g*) we're taking off next week to Cable Beach Resort Broome for about three nights and four days total R&R which looks like this:
And this...
And possibly sunsets like this:
And involves this:
Plus possible rides on Camels, Hovercraft tours and Harley Davidsons...not necessarily in that order. These will be our last days of freedom
before we return to the grind of work on the 31st.
HAPPY MAKING STUFF LIST includes - Broome holiday, five week old fluffy Border Collie puppies I got to play with this week, winning our last softball game, Despicable Me and The King's Speech (BRILLIANT), the return from HELLATUS of Supernatural and Smallville, rumours of a seventh season of Supernatural, possible plans to compete on the World Agility stage in England this year, definite plans to do Christmas and New Year in the US of A (and getting to meet up with a certain special someone who I sadly missed last trip), and a Sting concert with a Symphony orchestra next Saturday.
Wow. That's a significant amount of happy making items. You know those days when you wake up and just think - Hell yes! I'm alive and kicking and what more could a girl want? That's me. It's in my plan (you know THE PLAN Net ;-) ) now how are you all going to face the world today?
