Does anyone else think that Rodney McKay from Stargate is a cross between Bones/McCoy(arrogance and grumpiness) and Spock(brains and eyebrow of doom)? 

Random question:
Does anyone else think that Palmer on NCIS looks like an older Harry Potter?  Not Daniel Radcliffe but the one the book covers?

Do you ever think to yourself, "How did I end up this weird?" I'm thinking that to myself right now. Why? I almost cried over a freaking mouse! I don't cry often, mostly because I really hate it. Anyway, my parents put out rat poison. That stuff is freaking barbaric! The snap traps may be horrible and gross, but at least they're quick. The poison makes mice suffer for a day or two. The funny little mouse I mentioned hiding under our Christmas tree...well it wandered out, wobbled a time or two, and then just laid down. And I almost cried. Stupid helpless little mouse.

I've got a couple of Christmas break stories. First though, I have a few friends who aren't feeling well. I hope you feel better soon, devo79 and frogpeach09 . I'm glad you're home, theladyscribe , I hope you had a fabulous time in Egypt!

I finished my last final this morning. I feel pretty good about this semester. I think I've done well. I head home tomorrow. I should be cleaning my room and packing right now, but we all know how that goes. :)

So, I'm doing a meme, lifted off of musesfool .

If I came with a warning label, what would it say?

Thank you pen37 and maychorian for the lovely snowflakes! They brightened my day and made finals week less annoying. :-)

I think I might hate Kripke for making me cry. He's friggin' brilliant. And I thought the episode was amazing. But it made me cry. And I don't like him right now because of it. Tomorrow I'll be awed by the ep.

As some of you know, my grandmother has been battling Alzeihmer's disease for the last couple of years.  Between her that, previous strokes, and diabetes, she's been in kidney failure for the last couple of months. In April, she was put on Hospice.  Thursday morning she had another stroke.  At 1:22 a.m. this morning, she died, and she's finally at peace.  For those of you that pray, please remember my family.  Everyone seems to be dealing pretty well, but grief is a tricky thing. 

So yesterday, I finished my graduate school applications.  And today I'm applying for my final semester of college.  I don't know whether to be terrified or excited.  To be honest, I'm really not sure I feel like being an actual adult yet. 

Does anyone have any one-shot fic recs? T

his is going to be a really long weekend coming up, and I plan to reward myself for hard work with short fics.

Fandoms I read are Sentinel, Supernatural, Harry Potter, Star Trek, BtVS/Angel, Firefly, Bones, Roswell, Leverage, Chloe-centric Smallville fic...and any crossover of the above fics.  I read het, slash, or gen.  I'm wanting stuff that funny, fluffy, or light.  Brain breaks do not work well with depressing fics. 

Thanks!

Yeah... I should definitely be studying for my exam tomorrow...

Boredom is not my friend.  Neither is Microsoft Access. 

So, this episode response is considerably more coherent then most of my others.  I only watched it last night.  It was amazing! 

 

( Supernatural 5.04 )

So, today would have been my grandparents fifty-third wedding anniversary.  It was the first time in fifty three years that my grandfather and grandmother did not spend the day together, the first time since I was little that the family did not have some sort of celebration.  I remember my freshman year having to go home for their 50th wedding anniversary as they renewed their vows.  I have pictures on my wall from that day.  There is one of the two of them looking at each other right after they said their vows.  The look of absolute love on their faces is beautiful.  My grandmother, despite having a bruise on her cheek from a fall, despite being old and wrinkled looks absolutely stunning. And my grandfather looks joyful.   This was the first big event other that my grandmother has missed since she died.  And to be honest, it's hurts to know she's not with my papa to cook him supper or make him go fix something.  When I talked to him on the phone, he was okay until the very end of the call when he told me it would have been their 53rd wedding anniversary and his voice broke.  The only time I've ever seen him cry was at his 6 month old great-granddaughter's funeral.  So, hearing that crack nearly broke my heart.  I managed to keep it together until I got off the phone.  Now, I'm sitting here red-faced and crying.  Sometims you don't realize how much you  miss someone until you are reminded.  Today was definitely one of those days for me.  If you all could keep my family and my grandfather in your prayers, I would be very grateful. 

um...um...Fangirl go boom. I think Kripke is trying to kill us.  And I think Sam is going to kick Lucifer's ass. And I think Dean is going to help him.  Just as soon as he pulls his head out of the sand. 

Sam and Dean are morons.  (No Abby, if you're reading this, that does not count as a spoiler.)  ( Cut for spoilers but very short! )
I still miss the monster of the week things. 

On the bright side, a guy I like (who's attractive, smart, likes C.S. Lewis) watched it with me tonight.  That was nice.   My fangirlish-ness plus my idiot crushing!girl-ishness seemed to balance each other out. I managed not to make a fool of myself.  Yay me.  My roomie was astoundingly well behaved about not making fun of me (which she usually does anytime I have any form of crush) , but that may be due to the distraction of Supernatural.  (Note to Abby, I almost named characters, and I didn't.  Yes, you should be grateful...spoilerphobe!)

Yeah, so computer applications is still boring.  I've worked steadily on excel for the last hour, and now I'm going to misbehave.

Life is good.  I should stop procrastinating.
