Intro Post
My profile has gotten so long that it's annoying even me. Time to plop some of that into a sticky post. My first. *iz excited* What? I'm easily entertained. :D
Me
I'm in my 40s, single, no kids of my own. I'm currently living with my sister, her husband, and their five kids. I talk about them a lot. My sister is my best friend and has her own LJ (justine_andrews ), though she's not really active on LJ anymore. *sniffles*
I'm the second of five kids. In addition to my only sister, I have three brothers: one older and two younger. We're all adults by now, the youngest being in his mid-twenties. Only one sibling does not share our current obsession, Supernatural, but we love him anyway. *grin*
ETA: I have been blessed with two more sisters. My parents, (in their 60s) had been fostering two sweet little girls for the past couple of years. When they became eligible for adoption, my parents decided they didn't want these girls to have to start over again with a new family. They'd been raised with us, so they stayed with us. My new sisters are 38 and 40 years younger than me, but I love them dearly!
My Friending Policy
My LJ is mostly public with a few private flocked posts. Feel free to friend me, but please leave me a comment or send me a PM if you want me to friend you back since I don't do that automatically. However, I do love making new friends and understand what it's like to be new to LJ. All it takes is a quick note to catch my attention. I don't bite (really, I'm on a restricted diet that doesn't include human).
My Journal
Ideally, this LJ is a fun place where my friends and I can freely chat with each other without having to keep the defensive shields as firmly in place. There haven't been any problems here since all my flisties are reasonable, mature adults. However, in an effort to be proactive, there are a few things I ask everyone to keep in mind:
Supernatural is my current fandom. I typically only participate in one fandom at a time since it takes up so much of my personal life. I adore Jensen Ackles and his character, Dean Winchester. I'm also partial to his co-star, Jared Padelecki, and Dean's brother Sam. I admire both the Winchester brothers and the very talented actors who work so hard to bring them to life.
I was originally drawn to Supernatural by the beautifully complex brotherly love that the show displays and will gladly laugh, sniffle, and huggle with my fellow fans about it any time! The other major draw for me (besides the cuties on my TV screen) was the full array of angst provided by this show. My whumper's heart sings with joy... or cries great tears of woe, which is just as fun.
My favorite things about Supernatural (in no specific order) are:

There haven't been any problems here since all my flisties are reasonable, mature adults. However, in an effort to be proactive, there are a few things I ask everyone to keep in mind:
- Slash or Wincest - If you get into these, that's fine; we can still be friends. Just please don't discuss them here or use icons or graphics depicting slash or wincest. There are enough places on LJ welcoming these things that I don't have a problem with banning them here.
- Character Bashing, Writer Bashing, or general Show Bashing - While I enjoy a good discussion, debate, and the occasional rant, supported by solid arguments and genuine opinions, I don't care for wanton bashing of Supernatural, it's cast, crew, writers, etc (or of any other shows, for that matter). Let's play nicely, people.
- Actor Bashing - Please don't wank on any of the actors on shows discussed here. The actors work very hard to provide us with entertainment and deserve our respect even if we can't give them our love or admiration. I also won't tolerate any bashing of Jensen's and Jared's lovely wives, Danneel Harris and Genevieve Cortese. Of course, voicing your opinion isn't wank or bashing; I just ask that everyone keep it civil.

My favorite things about Supernatural (in no specific order) are:
- Dean and all things Deanish.
- Dean's hands, eyes, freckles, arms, eyelashes, etc, etc, etc.
- Dean's ring, leather jacket, and amulet (which Sam had BETTER have saved from the trash!).
- Dark!Sam in all his glory.
- The Impala.
- Dean leaning on or against the Impala, patting the Impala lovingly, talking sweetly to her, or otherwise bonding with his baby.
- Whump and angst... oh, the agonizing thrill.
- Mantears. Those perfect, beautiful mantears of pain.
- Brotherly love; brotherly hate; Brotherly HUGS.
- Demon!Dean! How I wish we'd had just a few more episodes with him!
- Did I mention Dean yet? Dean. Dean happy, Dean sad, Dean playful, Dean serious, Dean, Dean, Dean... Dean.
