Today is The Nephew's 9th birthday! How is that possible? It seems like just last week that he was 3 and asleep on our couch, clutching his Big Red Dog. Sis and I called him tonight and screamed/sang Happy Birthday to him at full volume, really dorkily. After we finished, he said, "Who is this?" That little shit! Who else does he know that ( Read more... )

Today is Tuesday, so I’m making a post. I’m going to try to keep up this ‘Pig In A Post’ thing, where I make a post every Tuesday, as it helps me keep on my journaling. And also it is a clever name, shut up ( Read more... )

It's September 22nd!! It's a double hobbit birthday! Our charming little heroes were born on this day. And as they are from my very first online fandom and such a huge part of my life and who I am today, I make sure to always mark the occasion! (I also started my Tumblr on this day last year, but mostly I did that just so I would never forget ( Read more... )

So, The BFF informs me that FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY, DEAN AND CAS MET FOR THE FIRST TIME. September 18, 2008! Awwwwww. Five years ago they had no idea that their lives were about to change forever. I feel all sappy about it, I don't even care. It's a beautiful thing. I feel like I should be more poetic, but I am sickie today and I didn't know ( Read more... )

Today we celebrate two things and I am sure Billy Boyd will be fine with going second on this. Because today is the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech. This kind of blows my mind because while 50 years can seem like a long time in regards to certain things, when it comes to equality, it's barely a drop in the ( Read more... )

THREE YEARS ON LJ TODAY!!! This is post #507. Holy crap, I didn’t even realize that I had hit 500! Wait…apparently this post about my monthly word count was #500 ( Read more... )

So, yes, I have SO MANY THINGS TO SAY about the Iron Man movie. But I swore I would finish The Nephew's birthday fic before I let myself go off waving and flapping my hands like a crazed fangirl. I have to have this fic finished, beta'd, and arted by the 11th, so I'm trying to be responsible and not just sit here writing like a 3,000 word epic ( Read more... )

First, for excellent news about my favorite fangirl in the whole wide world forever - THE BFF GOT A JOB!!! It is a temporary thing, but long term temp, so at least three months. And it is in the exact same building as my sister, so they are driving to work together - yay carpooling! I am sad though that this means we have to slow down on our ( Read more... )

It occurs to me that, given the icon I used for this post is an icon from "Oz", ya'll might think I just got sentenced to 18 months in prison ( Read more... )

As my birthday gift to all of you, I wrote some Wee!chesters. I wanted something that also had to do with "The Lord of the Rings", because it is my hobbit coming-of-age and because LotR was my first online fandom that I wrote fic in. (I also started almost right out in "The West Wing", but that didn't really fit in here ( Read more... )
