How is it mid-September already? No, seriously, how??

[fishpatrol]

1. I see that LJ still hasn't addressed the reposting to Facebook/Twitter issue. I won't repost if you won't.

2. There's this big apartment building across from our residence building, and back in August, when I looked out our living room window, I could see what looked like a neon open sign on an upper floor balcony. I said jokingly to my suitemate S., "I'll bet there's a hooker living there and that's the 'Open for Business' sign, so that customers know when to go up." (This is not a far-fetched theory! Rumours say that there are many prostitutes living in that building.) Today, S. looked out the window and noted that we haven't seen the lit-up sign for a while now. I immediately thought to myself, It's because hooker!Jensen has given up the trade since he's met student!Jared who is the love of his life and now they are living happily ever after and the neon open sign will never light up again! This may be an indication to cut back on the J2 AUs. ;;;;

3. SPN Season 6 Trailer, eee♥
Dean at a "normal" job! Gratuitous shirtless!Sam! THE HUG. FINALLY, A ~*HUG*~.
I AM EXCITE.

3.5 Inception has finally loosened its claws on me, so now I can divert some attention back to SPN (but I've been in more of a J2 mood lately, idk). I'm not sure if the trailer was for the first two (three?) episodes, or just the first episode; either way, I do hope next week's episode won't disappoint. *crosses fingers*

4. I started yoga classes today. I have a feeling I'm going to be hurting in strange places tomorrow. X3

5. School officially started yesterday -- not that it ever really ended for me (eta: ahaha, this comic says it all. fml /o\), but two classes (and a half? and the weekly seminars), two TA sessions, and two research projects means a lot less slacking on my part. nrrrghhhh

6. Will play comment-catch-up tomorrow. Time to sneak in a teeny bit of fic reading (yes, I suck at being productive, shut up) and then go to bed. I almost fell asleep during the final relaxation period during yoga (I don't know why I was so sleepy! I even took a nap in my office earlier today. ;;;)

NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FELT THAT DAY WITH THE BANK TELLER

I think the trailer must have been for more than just the first episode. Otherwise that would be a long episode, because there seems to be a lot going on. Buuttt I could be wrong. Any way around, it looks awesome.

Shirtless Sam and hugs can get me through anything. I'M SO EXCITED! xD

LJ did finally post this (http://news.livejournal.com/129284.html) which is better, but obviously they are not getting rid of the FB/twitter thing completely and I dunno when it's being implemented, or if it already has been.

Sigh, tried to resist SPN teaser and failed. :(

[prosodi.livejournal.com]

I am strangely (and I say this since I wanted to punch last finale's episode in the stomach) insanely excited for the new season of Supernatural. Fresh stories! Fresh faces! Presumably other fresh things! COUNT ME IT.

[lemniciate.livejournal.com]

1/ LJ did make it so that screened and FO comments can't be reposted, which was the only thing that was bothering me about this whole thing so \o/

3.5/ Hahaha, me too! Except I have no default fandom to fall back on so I'm just flitting around anime right now. I'VE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON

4/ Have fun! I really need to get back into it, but I've got carpal tunnel developing or something in my right wrist, and it really hurts in some poses :/

Dude, you sound so tired! Take it easy ♥

[postingwhore.livejournal.com]

yeah, idk how you are doing a phd. I am so drained after finishing this MA, it seriously feels like I don't have a soul anymore. :|

When I took yoga we had a period to sleep at the end of every session. It was nice.

Also omg right now I am doing nothing but reading Kradam. :( Ngggggggggggggh, why can't I have an epic friendship like that. Alas, I need to get a job soon...;_;

[scintilla10.livejournal.com]

I used to spy on this little antique store across the street from my old apartment building and my roommate and I were pretty convinced it was some kind of front for a shady drug business or something because it was NEVER OPEN. Like, 2 in the afternoon, tourists would come wandering by and peer in the windows, and no one would be there. EVER.

... I'm sure there's a J2 AU in there somewhere.

[fishpatrol]

Sekrit-mobsters!J2? Or maybe it's like Aziraphale's bookshop -- where one of the J's (who is sekritly an angel) owns the store but never opens it for business because it's just a front (and he doesn't want to part with any of his ~*antiques*~). :D The world is a more colourful place when you view it through the lenses of J2 AUs, hee.

[fishpatrol]

idk how you are doing a phd.

IDK EITHER D: Maybe I'm still feeling a bit complacent since I haven't started on my dissertation yet. Oh man, I'm totally going to have a massive breakdown before my comps, I just know it!

Speaking of epic friendship, if you ever get tired of Kradam, there are plenty of J2 fics just waiting to be read. :D I have to admit, I've actually listened to one or two Kradam podfics. :>

Take a break and reward yourself with a bajillion fics before you start stressing about a job! \o\

[fishpatrol]

Oh, good. I'd still rather not have my public posts reposted, but at least no personal information will be released. I do wish they would allow an opt-out option though. :(

I remember back in my anime and manga days where I didn't have a stable fandom and just jumped from one to another (and ended up wasting a lot of time at yaoi_daily XDDD). It's nice having a default fandom -- it's like a cozy blanket you can crawl back under after you tire yourself out from the frenetic energy that is the Inception fandom. ;D I wonder how long the Inception fandom is going to last at the current rate and whether it'll slow down any time soon...

Oh no! D: Too much data entering/analysis/fiddling?

I have no idea why I feel tired all the time. I get 9 hours of sleep per night and I slack more than I work, so idk. D:

[fishpatrol]

The finale was really kind of disappointing (and the ending made me go nrgggh D:) -- I do hope this season will be good! Aside from the boys' reunion, I'm really excited to see what role Crowley will be playing!

[fishpatrol]

I do wish they would allow an opt-out option, but it looks like that won't be happening. Ugh, LJ. :(

Embrace the spoilers! Now you're more excited for next Friday, right? Right? :D

[fishpatrol]

Ahaha, yes, I do. XD The world is a funner place when viewed through J2!AU-tinted lenses.

[fishpatrol]

Yeah, I'm thinking that might be the case as well, because I remember reading somewhere that Dean doesn't join Sam until the second episode or so.

Shirtless Sam and hugs can get me through anything

Hee! Someone else on my flist totally said the same thing. XD Throw in some shirtless!Dean and I'll be happy as a clam. ;)

[akintay.livejournal.com]

2. I like your way of thinking :D

3. I CAN'T WAIT!

5. Good luck with all of that! *hugs*

[postingwhore.livejournal.com]

Oh man, comps. ;_; Well, I AM BEHIND YOU IN SPIRIT. 3:

XDDDD Idk, I haven't felt like getting back into SPN/J2 since I left it last summer (or was it two summers ago? I can't remember anymore XD)...but perhaps one day ;) I still want to write that J2/SG-1 crossover, though XDDDD And I can't do podfics at all XDDDDD I'm just not an audiobook person!

Awwww, ty! ♥

[illuminations.livejournal.com]

Technically it's opt-in now and only posts/comments that are public can be crossposted by other people. I mean, it bugged me when they were like ANYTHING CAN BE CROSSPOSTED AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, but now it's like whatever especially since you can't accidentally crosspost unless you specifically go to the account page and link everything together. Let's be honest though, I realize everyone is >:O over this, but the fact that LJ held out this long without integrating with FB/Twitter is kind of a feat. Other sites pull your FB information automatically (HI YOU CAN COMMENT WITH YOUR FB THAT YOU DIDN'T GIVE US PERMISSION TO USE BUT LISTEN YOU'RE LOGGED IN ANYWAY AND AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR ANOTHER ACCOUNT ON SOME SITE YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO VISIT AGAIN?) and they don't even have a forum like this nor, I'm guessing, a population large enough that complains about it for them to care.

tl;dr tl;dr tl;dr D:

sobbing. I am kind of excited for Mary's dad a lot? Dunno why, I think I just like the actor. Sobbing I hope someone doesn't accidentally see this and is spoiled. :(

[fishpatrol]

I'd really rather not have my public posts crossposted either, but I guess the easiest solution to resolve that is to just f-lock more often. X3

I can't wait to see what kind of explanation they're going to give about him coming back! And, like, not aging a day! I can't remember if you've seen Stargate Atlantis? The actor is always going to remind me of Caldwell first, and Samuel Campbell second. XD

[fishpatrol]

J2/SG-1? I thought it was going to be SPN/SG-1. XDD

Oh man, I love podfics (not all podfics, granted -- I'm getting more picky these days X3;;) -- they make chores/commuting/data entry much more fun. :>:>

[fishpatrol]

2. The any-aspect-of-life-can-turn-into-a-J2-AU way of thinking is the right way of thinking. ;D

3. One more week (and a day, because I'll probably watch it on Saturday rather than Friday)!

5. Thank you <3!

[postingwhore.livejournal.com]

SPN fic requires a smidgen more knowledge of canon ;)

I like to read when commuting...though I suppose if you are walking then it's nice. XD idk, I like to hear the ~natural sounds~ when I'm walking places, and my ears usually hurt if I put headphones in for too long...3: Also, I guess I don't really care about listening to someone else say it? XD I mean, people interpret fics differently, I'd rather read it myself and decide the intonation myself, idk. XD

Also, what if I start crying? XD I don't always know beforehand which fics will make me cry XD

[fishpatrol]

No, I totally get it -- podfics aren't for everyone. :) I've gotten used to having headphones on so often; it's comforting, sometimes, having headphones on --either listening to music or to podfic-- while walking around. I feel like I'm in my own little world. :> (but yeah, my ears hurt after a while XD;;)

Haha, one time, I was on the bus and listening to the podfic of a fic I'd already read once -- I just knew I was going to cry at the ending, but I was in public, so I tried to hold back and just ended up looking all wibbly. XDD
