List Post: Supernatural, Fandom, and a bit of Real Life
So it's kinda late and I should be in bed. But hmmm... I'm, like, pondering. And maybe having a lil bit of a strange fandom moment?
So, I'm thinking List Post time? Yes?
1) The Supernatural Convention this past weekend in Chicago? Um... I'm kinda sad I wasn't there. I've seen some pics/read some accounts, and I'm trying really hard not to be jealous of everyone who went lol. I'm hoping to attend a con in July (or June? Idk... the one in NJ over the summer) but we'll see... hopefully Misha Collins and the gang (esp. Jim Beaver! lol I love those two) will be there. But I'm guessing it's one of the smaller cons? But I really have no idea. We'll see. I need to do research...
2) I've oddly been in the school work mode lately. Or, rather, the reading non-fun texts lately. Fanfic has been on the downslope for a while (aka: I've not found anything/a lot of new fic that are really impressing me... and the fics that have impressed me are either not updating, or friend-locked for the time being... urgh), so maybe that has to do with it.
3) I'm seriously considering trying to wean myself off of my SPN and Dean/Castiel crazy fangirliness for a little bit. I really don't want to, but I'm thinking for my sanity I might want/have to lol. I mean... idk. I've never loved a series so much that I've actually wanted to really go to a conference to meet the actors... and yeah, I mean, I've thought actors have been adorable before (Elijah Wood, Hugh Jackman, etc lol), but I've never, like, ever ever ever considered writing a fan letter to one, and I actually started considering writing one last weekend when my friend visited and said I should, and then considered it again today, and I don't know if I want to... I mean, I WANT to, but I've always been a fan that just stays to the canon of the show, in the background totally unseen, instead of, like, wanting to meet the actors. And now I'm like, "These people are so AWESOME!!" and I would be ecstatic to meet them. Nothing's wrong with that, but I'm just like, "wow, Lauryn, don't become a crazy fan now." Idk... maybe I'm just tired and I'm overanalyzing stuff... like I usually do... *sigh* idk
4) My typing window for LJ is freaking out and making it really hard to write this entry... this is the second time it's happened... .wtf is up with LJ? Is anyone else having this problem of the window you type into jump around/reload every second?
5) so apparently Misha Collins reads/is familiar with fanfic... aka, the slash fic out there. And... .ummm... as much as I think that's hilarious, I'm also a lil freaked about that. I mean... idk... the paranoid me is like, "what if I post a fic and he reads it?!" which psh! I'm not saying my fic is good enough to get a big audience/recognition from anyone but, like, a few people, but still... my paranoid self is paranoid and o.O lol. Again, I might just be tired and stressed from school. lol I might retract this tomorrow lol.
6) So the apartmentmate is totally exercising her passive aggressive bitchiness. She totally was giving me attitude for most of the day today just bc she was stressed out (over nothingggg) and took it out on me with passive aggressive stuff (which I totally cannot stand). and Then after class when some of her stress was gone she was all happy and laughing and asking me to read some poetry for her and give her my opinion of it... no apologies or recognition that she acted like she did. At least when I'm a bitch I acknowledge it and apologize. But please, do not treat me like that and then pretend it never happened... once, yeah, I can forgive. Twice? Yeah, that too. Three times or more? No way, Jose. Sorry, you've used up your free passes.
Ummmmm....
7) Domestic!fic is coming along okay. I need to add a few more scenes... I was hoping to get it out before ep. 10, but I'm thinking it's gonna be a December posting... .it's turning into something too big lol. But whatever. it's fun to work on when I get a break from work (grad school and work-work wise). But yeah... we'll see. I have to start liking this fic again, but I'm hoping when I look at it again, ,like, tomorrow, it'll look better than last time.
Okay, well... I think that's it for now. I'm heading home in a week for Thanksgiving (yay!) so this week is gonna be a strange mix of getting school work done and trying not to go crazy with said school work, and the fact that episode 10 is coming out? idk... I just might need to go home at the end of this week lol.
