Season 2 Companion thoughts and misc. stuff

[hells_half_acre]

My S2 Companion book arrived in the mail today, so I blew off work for the afternoon and read it - probably not a wise move job-wise, but I have little to no will power and I hate my job, so yeah, it wasn't all that surprising a thing for me to do.

So, as most of you know, I'm quite proud of my TIMELINE - (which is suffering greatly in S5, damn you

About a paragraph after that JDM also says that he's gone online and argued with fans who think John was a horrible father.

THIS. is cool. Not many actors would really go online and defend their characters against the fans directly. Way to go, JDM.

May 2, 2007 - (unknown)

LOL on the "He's really sorry". I thought it would say "Sam, not Sammy". :)

[hells_half_acre]

Haha, another good epitaph ;-) "He's really sorry" was just the first thing that sprang to mind, really.

Yeah, I've got a quite the crush on JDM. He brought so much to John Winchester, and obviously, it's because he actually cares about the character.

rofl, oh JDM how I miss your lulzy antics. seriously, and don't worry about using Supernatural to not work, I frequently use Supernatural to not do school work. Yay University.

[hells_half_acre]

You can get away with way ditching-of-work much easier in University than you can when you actually have a job - but hey, there's always hope that no one noticed!

I miss JDM too!

The arguing online thing cracks me up. One, this fandom....*shakes head*. And two- rhanks to the meta-tastic crackiness of recent seasons, my brain produces images of him getting really into it, and typing furiously on the keyboard.

I'm in a silly mood tonight.

[hells_half_acre]

Haha, me too!!

It's just silly images in my head of JDM typing furiously on the keyboard muttering things like "oh that's it, deangirl_79! You are going down!"

This fandom indeed...I carefully avoid all places where the crazies hang-out, but I always end up hearing about the ridiculousness somehow.

Slightly related: Often I wonder how weird it must be for the actors - they basically can't look up anything about their own show without stumbling across manips of them making-out with their best friend :-P It must be truly bizarre for them.

[claudiapriscus]

That's probably the best reason for them to never, ever go online. I find it disturbing as a random person. (Disturbing, not necessarily in a "how dare they" way, but disturbing in the sense that option a) involves incest, which just, ew. and option b) involves well, writing porn about real people- which is just.... well, it makes me uncomfortable. I don't even like celebrity news (I really don't care about so and so's struggle with DRUGS!, but then there's also this sense of ownership/entitlement that creeps me out), so it just bothers me. And option C involves completely original fiction that borrows names and physical appearances, which is just something I never really understood.

[hells_half_acre]

Yeah, I'm with you there. (Mind you, I do like some of the completely original fiction, I just wish they were accessible in a medium that didn't borrow names and appearances from real people).

What I find most disturbing is the manips though...you know, the ones where it's basically their heads stuck on porn-stars' bodies. I mean...I guess it's just putting a visual on those stories people write, so maybe it's the same thing really, but I find it notches up the disturbing-factor tenfold.

I don't read celebrity gossip either. I'm of the opinion that people should be allowed to keep their personal lives private - I mean, I know *I* like to be able to do so, and "do unto others..." and all that jazz, so yeah, no celebrity gossip for me. Plus, as you say, I really don't care that much - I've got my own problems to obsess about, thanks.

so i have in my sidebar:

* Sam Winchester~
DOB: May 2, 1983
Lawrence, Kansas
6'4", 180-190 lbs
brown hair, brown eyes
"DOD": May 2, 2007

should i change that "DOD" date? hmmm..... *ponders*

[hells_half_acre]

I would! But I'm a stickler for accuracy.

It's true though, that May 2 to May 2 looks a hell of a lot nicer than May 2 to April 30...so, if you were going with whatever was aesthetically pleasing, then don't change it.

[trystan830]

heheh right. i'll probably leave it....
